BXBX NOVEL Chapter 394 Getting Used To Her Presence
Hannah\'s eyes lit up after confirming that the person in the lobby was Tristan. She quickly walked over to approach them.
Matthew excused himself as he would check their service going to the company branch.
"Tristan, What are you doing here?" Hannah asked in her exhilarated voice.
She didn\'t expect to see him in the same hotel she was currently staying in.
"Our company branch here is having some troubles. So I came to resolve it."
Hannah nodded her head and asked him another question.
"So, did you come here with Matthew alone?"
Hannah wanted to know whether Zhen-Zhen came with him or not.
"Yes," Tristan simply said.
A light gleam flashed through Hannah\'s eyes upon hearing that. She was overjoyed since she won\'t be able to see Tristan\'s wife. She hated Zhen-Zhen to the extent that she didn\'t want to cross paths with her again.
"How about you? Why are you here?" Tristan asked her back out of courtesy.
"I have an exhibit here for my paintings. It will last for a week. We also have a tour in this country together with my fellow painters and artists. I\'m staying here," Hannah responded to him cheerfully.
She had to admit that their last encounter didn\'t end up well. But after seeing Tristan here, she realized that she missed him. Of course, aside from Tristan, she was also missing Andrew.
"Did you not inform my brother that you are here? If he knew then probably I would send him here instead of me."
Hannah was taken aback at the mention of Andrew. No one from their family knew that they were in a cool off right now. Hannah just gave him an awkward smile, instead of answering his query.
Tristan noticed that something was off with Hannah when he mentioned his brother. But he couldn\'t point it out. In the end, he just shrugged it off his mind.
He still had lots of things to do to fix the problem as soon as possible. He didn\'t have the luxury to think about other things. His main priority was to finish his job there and return home quickly. His beloved wife was waiting for him.
"Hannah, I have to go," Tristan said goodbye to her.
"Ok, Tristan, see you around. Take care."
Hannah wanted to ask him regarding Andrew\'s whereabouts but she\'s afraid that Tristan would notice something. She just watched Tristan leave the hotel.
She didn\'t know how long Tristan would be staying here but Hannah already made up her mind that she would see him, especially now that they were just staying in the same hotel.
She saw the number of Tristan\'s room keycard. He was holding it in his hand a while ago. So she could visit him in his room any time.
A mischievous smile played across Hannah\'s face before she turned around, heading toward the hotel front desk.
"Hello, Miss, I would like to change my room. Is there available room on the fourth floor just beside Room 404 of your VIP Guests?" Hannah requested the Hotel Staff.
"Okay, Maám. Let me check it for you."
After a few seconds, the hotel staff confirmed that there was an available room near Room 404. That was Tristan\'s VIP suite. The staff allowed Hannah to transferred to the room next to Tristan\'s suite.
"Great. Now, it will be easy to approach and see Tristan. Our rooms are just next to each other," Hannah was now in a cheerful mood. She was excited for the coming days.

~ Heavenly Star Second Branch ~
At the other branch, Andrew was also trying his best to solve the issue with the investors. Alveena was there, assisting him with everything he needed.
It looked like someone had spread false rumors about the new product of their branch in that foreign country. They said that the company\'s products were made of low standard materials and just an imitation.
They also tried defaming the company\'s reputation by telling the investors that the management was corrupt. These two branches abroad were still newly established branches of the Heavenly Star Enterprise. That\'s why those people were able to sway the investors through their false and baseless accusations.
The most depressing part was they didn\'t have an idea who was the one responsible for spreading the false rumors. The potential investors also refused to talk to them. Both Andrew and Tristan were having a hard time because of this.
The patience of the two brothers was being tested here since they had to convince the investors and prove to them that those rumors were not true. Andrew and Tristan were exchanging updates regarding the progress and the strategies to be used in resolving this issue.
Tristan assigned Matthew an important task and that was to investigate who was responsible for ruining the reputation of their two branches abroad.
Andrew, on the other hand, had to talk personally and followed the investors around just to meet them. They refused to give him an appointment, telling him different alibis that they were busy.
Fortunately, Alveena\'s bubbly attitude and talkative nature helped him a lot in convincing the investors to set an appointment with them. After a long tiring day of following those old men, finally, they allowed Andrew to have a meeting with them three days from now.
Andrew and Alveena were now at the office, taking a rest for a moment.
"My Big Boss, are you tired? Are you having a headache?" Alveena asked Andrew after noticing him massaging his temples while leaning his head on the backrest of his chair.
She was calling him \'Big boss\' when they were in the office. But once they were alone, she\'s back on calling him Mr. Drunky.
Andrew just answered her with a simple "Mmmh."
She immediately stood up from her chair and went to Andrew\'s back. Seconds later, Andrew felt soft hands massaging his head. When he opened his eyes and gazed up, he saw Alveena standing behind him with a concerned look in her eyes.
He caught her hands as he was supposed to ask her what she was doing but no words came out of his mouth. He just stared at her in a daze. He felt like he was being mesmerized by her brown orbs.
"Hey, release my hands. I just want to give you a head massage. Close your eyes and just relax," Alveena softly said to him.
Instead of stopping her, Andrew just closed his eyes obediently and let go of her hands. He allowed Alveena to do what she wanted.
Alveena\'s lips curled up into a satisfied smile when Andrew gave in without arguing further. \'Hmm, he is really tired and exhausted. He didn\'t even have the energy to argue with me.\'
Alveena just continued rubbing his temples and his head, slightly tugging his hair while gently massaging his forehead. For some unknown reason, Andrew felt comfortable in Alveena\'s presence.
He was getting used to her presence now, day by day. Though she often annoyed him with her blabbering mouth and loud personality, she was helpful to her in some other ways. He began to appreciate her more.
She was always surprising him with her simple gestures and actions just like this. She was being thoughtful and caring, offering him a massage. He liked it. He felt relaxed and relieved now. After a few moments, Andrew fell asleep while Alveena was giving him a head massage.
