“What else now?”
Liam groans with his typical low voice, after Bobby calls him about the leaking of Hanna's pregnancy at the office.
“I also don't know why Hanna's USG photos can be scattered and it's original, not an edit. I checked it out."
Forget about checking the authenticity of the photo. “Who did it? Of course this is recorded security camera right?”
“The culprit was recorded, but..”
“But what? Tell me.”
“You're busy? How about we meet?”
Liam held onto his neck which was already stiff. “Good. Later tonight, Restaurant Silver Bowl.”
Liam turned his phone, started to think hard. Looks like this time it wasn't Veronica. However, Liam is still a key holder of the success of his agency, a very valuable asset. It was impossible for Veronica to leak Hanna's pregnancy which would indirectly even make her suspect. Veronica won't want the baby's biological father in her womb exposed. But who is it this time? How many people should he be fighting now?
“You okay?” Noah put down his phone and chose to stop playing the game after he saw the look on Liam's riled face.
“Someone leaked Hanna's pregnancy.”
“What?” Noah shouted, making some people who were preparing to pack Liam's equipment turn to him. “Are you kidding me?” whispered later.
“Do I look joking?” liam was upset.
“Then how? What..”Noah checked his surroundings, then shifted his chair to be right next to Liam. “Do they know you're the baby's father?”
“So, I haven't had a chance to ask because Bobby asked to meet. But from her tone, it seems like this time she and Hanna managed to handle her.”
“Veronica really outrageous.” murmured Noah. “...he thinks you are what? Things that can be controlled? Time just for wanting to make you his son-in-law, he did something as low as this?”
“I think it's not Veronica.” said Liam.
“Not him? So who do you think you are?”
I don't know, Liam doesn't know either. But whoever he is, he's very scary. How could she know of Hanna's pregnancy and even be able to spread her USG photos? Hanna's pregnancy was only known to at least six people, including Veronica. They covered up this pregnancy so well for the comfort of Hanna's life and Liam's career. How could it possibly leak?
Drizzle greeted as Liam got out of his car to a restaurant located in the city center. After saying his name, a staff member took Liam to the private room where Bobby was waiting for him.
“You have been waiting a long time?” Liam opened his coat.
Bobby shakes. He downed the wine that stayed slightly in his glass when Liam arrived. “I also just arrived."
“You've eaten? I've already ordered.”
“Quick tell me.” Cut Liam.
Where there is a taste to eat now. Thinking of everything that had happened lately just made him dizzy and worried half to death. Knowing Liam's uneasiness, Bobby pulls the laptop out of his backpack. He showed CCTV footage of the perpetrator attached to a photo on the glass wall of Hanna's department.
“The culprit is two people, but you can see their clothes.” Both men were wearing closed clothes. Wearing a hat, mask, glasses, barely recognizable. “And strangely again, they can get into the office using the office identity card.”
Bobby plays a recording of the seconds both of them stick to the card and manage to get in.
“But after check, no card data recorded on the machine in the clock. They were logged in at around five in the morning, but no attendance list was recorded in the office database at five in the morning.”
“Where are your security guards all?” Liam seems to be holding back his anger.
He is upset to find the two can just waltz into Bobby's company and stick to all the photos, without being caught in the slightest. “What do they do this plot with your officer?” search Liam.
Bobby seemed to be breathing deeply. “I don't think Liam. I questioned the security guard on duty this morning. They both admitted to having to go back and forth to the toilet after eating the burger they ordered online and there was evidence of the recording. ”
“Burger?” liam's forehead lifted.
“Ya.”
“Means someone knows they ordered a meal and put something in his meal?”
Liam. This enemy is really brave and it is hard to guess what he will do again. Although Liam admits he is quite limp in the face of all this, but he will not give up. For the sake of Hanna –and the baby, she would do anything.
“But.I want to apologize about one thing to you.”
Liam raised his face. “What?”
“For the sake of saving Hanna's face and also her reputation, by being forced.I admit the baby was my baby and.”
“What?” Liam exclaimed in shock.
“..and I also told everyone that Hanna was my wife.”
“What? Bobby..”
“I know you'll be shocked and angry, but I also don't know what else to say so they stop gossiping about Hanna. It was the only way that came to my mind.”
Liam wanted to protest, but Bobby had a point. If she didn't say that ridiculous excuse, maybe Hanna was still a byword among her co-workers. Hanna will even be more stressed, depressed and may not be comfortable. There have been too many things that Hanna has been through lately. Maybe this is the only way to save Hanna's condition. After all Bobby and he had spoken well about their respective feelings, Bobby had let Hanna and Liam believe completely.
“Good.” Liam sighs. “Malah good, at least they will be disinclined to Hanna and indirectly will respect her more, if they can stay away from Hanna because of disdain. I can't trust Hanna's environment anymore.” Mumbled Liam.
“Hanna's neighborhood you mean my company?” Bobby crossed his arms around his chest. “Crue.” Liam won't lose. “Your company has not been safe lately.”

“Where are you from? Why did he come home long?”
Hanna looks worried after finding Liam not home after she gets home from the office. He was worried about Liam's safety and there were also things he had to tell Liam immediately. She wants to tell Liam directly about her status at the office which suddenly turns into Bobby's wife. He didn't want to cover this up from Liam.
“You waiting for me?” Liam stroked Hanna's warm face. “Sorry I didn't get to tell you that I met Bobby.”
“Bobby?”
Liam nodded. “I already know everything. Bobby told me.”
“Then?”
Hanna wants to hear Liam's opinion on Bobby's unilateral decision to admit he's his wife. If Liam objects, he'll talk to Bobby tomorrow.
“Then what else is Han? Yes it has been.” Liam took Hanna in.
Hanna stunned. That only? Didn't Bobby tell the other no less important parts? Or did he not tell Liam because he was afraid? Why does Liam look so relaxed?
“I don't know if Bobby told you or not, but this morning he gave a confession to my colleagues if I was his wife and the child I bear was his son.”
Liam just nodded while smiling. “I know it.”
If he knew why his reaction was only that? He's angry, upset, or what the hell?
“You angry?” Hanna held Liam's hand.
“Anged about what?”
“Because Bobby said I'm his wife. You angry?”
Liam smiled, lowered his head and kissed Hanna's lips at a glance. “I'm not angry Han. Instead, I felt relieved Bobby did just that. At least no one will dare to mess with you in the office.”
“Really?” Hanna hesitates.
Liam nodded with a smile.
Of course I was angry with Han, and also jealous. Bobby can say out loud to everyone that you are his wife, while I have to hold everything back to avoid all the consequences we might face. I can't guarantee your safety in the office, that's why I let Bobby make such a decision.
When can I confess to everyone if you are mine?
