Hannah’s expression changed. She was stunned for over ten seconds.
“Madam? Madam! Are you there?”
Hannah took a deep breath in and asked shakily. “W-What did you say? The order is mine! I spoke to a few major brands. Signing the contract is the last step! How is it possible that Zephyr took it?”
“Yeah, I thought it was strange too!” The secretary said, feeling annoyed, “But I just heard that the major brands signed a contract with Mr. Z. Also…”
“What else?”
“Someone seems to have gifted the order to him!”
“What!?”
Hannah lost her grip, and her phone fell onto the floor. The screen broke.
“What’s up, mom?”
As soon as Ava said that, Noah walked from the balcony in a carefree manner. He held the bird cage in one hand while playing with a beeswax bracelet in the other.
“What’s wrong, Hannah?”
“Dad!” Ava immediately asked for help. “Someone took mom’s fashion week’s order!”
“Order?” He frowned before coming to a realization. “Oh, the International Fashion Week’s order?”
“That’s right!”
“Haha, I gave it to Zen! I knew where you put those documents, so I got him to pick them up!” he said in a carefree manner and as-a-matter-of-factly.
Hannah thought she had misheard as she stared at him in disbelief. She only said after a while, “What did you say?”
“I said I gave Zen the order. What’s wrong?”
Noah seemed upset. He tossed the cage away and wrapped his arms around his chest.
Noah bent to take a good look at Hannah and Ava’s faces after showing off for a bit. He only smiled and got up after ensuring they were mad.
“Okay. I was angry a few days back, and the two of you are angry now. Since you guys are angry, we’re even now. We’re a family! We should love each other, understand?”
“Noah, you…”
Hannah pointed at him. She was secretly scolding him but could not say a word. She had collapsed from exhaustion.
“You’re petty, Hannah!” Noah preached to her in all seriousness again. “It’s just an order. What’s up with that?! How much can that be?
“Hehe. My sister will give me money no matter how much I ask for! If you really like that stupid order, I’ll just get it back for you, okay?”
“Noah—”
Hannah finally managed to muster enough strength to shriek with all that she had. “Get out. Get out!”
Noah was stunned. He stood where he was while looking at her blankly after being yelled at.
