Chapter 908
Hannah quickly pulled Noah into her arms, preventing anyone else from touching him.
She chuckled, “Please forgive me, Ms. Liliana. My secretary has peculiar habits and is compulsively clean. Even I can’t change that.”
The woman addressed as Ms. Liliana clicked her tongue twice.
“Looks like you’re really fond of him, Ms. Hannah.”
Hannah just smiled without replying.
After another round of drinks, the party began to disperse as it was getting late.
Half an hour later, only Hannah remained, still holding onto the intoxicated Noah, sitting on the sofa.
She could not carry Noah by herself, but the thought of other women helping made her
uncomfortable.
Deciding to wait a while longer, she called the butler to send bodyguards and a driver to pick them
- up.
The bodyguards were quick.
Twenty minutes later, they located the corresponding private room following Hannah’s instructions and carried Noah on their backs.
They quickly returned to the Moore mansion.
As Noah was being carried back to his room by the bodyguards, Vanessa, wearing pajamas, happened to come downstairs.
She stopped Hannah, who was about to return to her room, and asked, “What happened to Mr. Noah? How did he get so drunk?”
Hannah, looking tired, replied helplessly, “He insisted on drinking on an empty stomach to keep me from drinking. There’s no way he’d be sober drinking like that.”
“Um…”
Vanessa’s lips twitched.
Seeing Hannah about to leave again, she spoke up once more, “He’s your guest. Shouldn’t you be taking care of him in his room?”

Hannah, puzzled, asked, “Mom, am I really your daughter? I’ve been working all day, and you don’t even pity me. Why should I take care of him?”
Vanessa gently patted her face, coaxing, “Of course, you’re my precious daughter. But since Mr. Noah is visiting our home for the first time, as hosts, we should take care of him, especially since he got drunk because of you.”
Although Vanessa’s argument made some sense, Hannah resisted, “He’s still my company’s secretary. Is it appropriate for the boss to personally take care of a drunken secretary?”
Vanessa chuckled. “We’re at home now, so leave the corporate rules behind. Go, take care of Mr. Noah in his room, and help him freshen up a bit. I’ll go make him a hangover drink.
Freshen up?
“Mom…”
Vanessa did not give her a chance to find another excuse and swiftly headed downstairs, slipping into the kitchen.
Hannah sighed and stood in the corridor for a moment before eventually entering
Noah’s room.
The bodyguards placed Noah on the bed and left, leaving him sprawled on the bed. They did not even bother to cover him with the blanket.
She looked up at the wide–open window, the curtains gently swaying in the cool evening
breeze.
Hannah thought that if she did not tend to Noah, he might fall sick tomorrow.
Ridden by guilt, she approached the bed and struggled to drag Noah onto the pillow.
Sure enough, his body reeked of alcohol, and he definitely needed to freshen up.
Feeling somewhat annoyed, Hannah quickly fetched a basin of hot water and towels from the bathroom, placing them on the bedside table.
Sitting beside him, she helped Noah out of his suit jacket and patiently unbuttoned his
shirt.
His finely sculpted body gradually came into view, making her gulp nervously as she silently repeated, ‘Mind over matter!‘

As she reached the last two buttons, Noah suddenly grabbed her wrist.
He glanced at his exposed chest and then at Hannah, obviously confused.
“What are you… doing?”
Hannah quickly withdrew her hand, her face flushing red with embarrassment, lips trembling nervously.
“I–I wasn’t doing anything. It’s not what you think. I didn’t have any ulterior motives!”
Immediately after her explanation, she smacked her forehead in frustration.
Why was she explaining so adamantly?
It only made her look even guiltier!
