    Chapter 1184 Romantic Dinner


    The conference room wasrge and quiet. Suddenly, a woman''s angry voice came from Oscar''s


    phone. The voice was clearly filled with fury, but surprisingly pleasant to listen to.


    "Oscar, will you ever stop? You''re buzzing around my ear like a mosquito and it''s really nauseating..."


    Oscar quickly turned off the voice on his phone. After he turned it off, the meeting room became even


    quieter. Everyone held their breath and didn''t dare make a sound. It was so quiet that even the sound


    of a pin dropping could be heard.


    Which woman could be so audacious as to speak about Commander in such a way? Calling him a


    mosquito and saying he made her nauseous.


    Who would have thought that even the high-and-mightymander had times when he pursued a girl


    only to be rejected?


    Theodore was also in the conference room. When he heard Hannah''s voice, he knew immediately who


    it was. He couldn''t help but burst outughing. He thought Oscar had already won over Hannah but


    apparently not. He got himself into trouble instead. Theodore''sughter made the atmosphere even


    more awkward.


    Oscar shot him an icy re, which had no effect whatsoever on Theodore who cleared his throat and


    said seriously, "Ourmander is also human beings, he can fall in love too."


    "Right!" someone chimed in agreement while others followed suit trying to cover up this awkward


    moment.


    Oscar pursed his lips tightly before speaking coldly, "Go ahead, then report back your results


    separately."


    With that said, he stood up and left directly without looking back. Although young, Oscar exuded strong


    aura wherever he went, which made everyone feel oppressed whenever they were around him.


    As soon as Oscar left, however, everyone breathed out heavily feeling relieved as if they''d just been


    released from prison. Theodore urged everyone else at the meeting to continue while thinking privately


    that there must be something urgent for Oscar leaving abruptly-probably he had just left to reply back


    Hannah''s message. Though Hannah sounded impatient with him, at least she replied.


    Meanwhile someone else picked up their phones quietly reading through some messages deep in


    thought. But Theodore didn''t notice that.


    When Oscar returned back at his office, he replied to her message. "Sorry to bother you while you''re


    working." He said apologetically.


    "Don''t talk to me," Hannah replied, her frustration evident.


    She couldn''t believe that after years away from the business world, she was struggling so much. She


    had been working for half a month now and was constantly busy and stressed. She admired how


    Manuel managed threepanies on his own and still found time for Susan. Meanwhile, she felt like


    she was going crazy with work, with Oscar constantly interrupting her with messages. She didn''t


    understand how a man could have so much to say in a day. The sound of the message tone made her


    irritable. And yet even after being scolded by her earlier, Oscar had the nerve to keep bothering her.


    "Okay," he replied curtly before sending an emoji showing he would shut up.


    He was still in a good mood at that point, since Hannah didn''t refuse when he asked if they could eat


    dinner togetherter.


    In the afternoon, Oscar finished work early and waited for Hannah in Kensbury until it was time for her


    shift to end. He knew exactly when she would be done since he had memorized every detail of her


    schedule by now. Even though it was already 8 pm at night when Hannah finally left work, Oscar


    patiently waited inside his car until 9 pm when he saw a familiar figure approaching him on foot.


    He got out of his car as soon as Hannah reached him but noticed that she looked surprised and


    confused about why he was there waiting for her.


    It wasn''t until then that Hannah remembered their conversation earlier about having dinner together


    tonight, which she never actually agreed upon because of how busy things were at work. But


    apparently Oscar took it seriously enough to show up anyway.


    Hannah didn''t know what kind of emotions were running through herself right now as they stood face-


    to-face. There were too many thoughts swirling around in head. Oscar smiled charmingly at Hannah''s


    confusion before asking softly, "Are you done with your shift?"


    Hannah nodded silently without saying anything else.


    "Let''s go eat dinner then." Oscar walked over towards Hannah and took her hand. Though hesitant,


    Hannah didn''t shake his hand off.


    Oscar was actually very nervous. Holding Hannah''s hand, he was not so poised as he expected. As


    she didn''t swat his hand away, his smile was conspicuous. They got into his car together afterwards


    and drove off towards a nearby restaurant where they enjoyed their meal privately amidst an empty


    dining hall. There were no other customers except for waiters.


    "I''m sorry about this. But maybe we''ll always have dinners like this from now on."


    "It has nothing to do with me." She said, indicating that she wouldn''t be epting any more invitations


    from him in the future.


    Oscar smiled, sensing that her words didn''t match her true feelings. Hannah felt a sudden surge of


    anger. She couldn''t remember when Oscar had started leading her around like this.


    They had agreed not to have any kind of rtionship anymore, yet he had easily ended up sleeping in


    her bed again. They had agreed not to mix business and pleasure, yet now she was working for a


    they were having dinner together by candlelight in a very romantic atmosphere.


    Oscar handed her a bouquet of roses, which Hannah took but then set aside without much interest.


    Oscar didn''t seem bothered by it though.


    "Oscar," she said seriously, "I wanted to talk about something tonight."


    "Uh-huh, I''m listening." He replied calmly.


    "There is no longer anything between us."

    "That''s why I''m pursuing you again."


    "I reject your advances."


    "That''s your right," Oscar responded nonchntly with his charming smile. "But it''s also my right to


    pursue you, fair and square."


    "I don''t want to be involved romantically at this time."


    "It doesn''t matter; I can wait for you."


    "I don''t want anything romantic with you."


    "That''s okay. I can change." He replied confidently as he reached out for Hannah''s hand. But she


    avoided him.


    "I know we have history, some unpleasant history that still bothers you, but I can''t make those unhappy


    moments go away. All I can do is focus on the future." He smiled handsomely under the flickering


    candlelight and added, "In this lifetime, there is no one else but you."


    Hannah remained silent as she struggled against both herself and Oscar''s confession, unable to refuse


    him outright while also unwillingly agreeing either way.
