You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 446

“What???” The next day, when Hanna thought that Eric had already left the island, it was another shock to her life seeing him still in the resort. “What are you still doing here?” She asked confusedly to Eric who was in his stunning gorgeous look wearing his black ray-ban.

He was sitting so elegantly waiting for his food to be served.

Seeing him, Hanna’s eyes grew wider as she didn’t expect to see him again.

Eric looked at Hanna behind his sunglasses and smirked cutely.

“What’s that expression? Am I some kind of contagious disease that is banned from this island?” Eric answered with a cute smile.

He had a very vibrant aura.

A rich handsome stunning guy.

Hearing him, Hanna could not help but roll her eyes at his response.

Why this man was acting as if nothing happened between them?

And why sitting there doing nothing made him look so elegant and handsome?

After realizing what her mind was bringing him, Hanna quickly shook her head repeatedly to get rid of her naughty thoughts that instant.

Admittedly, Eric was always the apple of her eye.

The only love of her life that was why she could not help to admire him and of course deep down in her, she felt happy still seeing him.

It was just the reality of seeing him repeatedly hurting her.

She was afraid that the more she was able to see him the more she would get hurt after.

It was the reality for them and just the thought of it was already hurting her.

“Eric, your friends left already. Why are you still here? Can you just disappear already?” Hanna uttered complaining.

“Hey! What’s with the attitude, huh?” Eric responded coolly.

He wasn’t angry instead his charming smile never left her face like he was seducing her.

Admittedly, it was very effective and she didn’t want to share his charming look with everyone.

She felt jealous just thinking of the crowd seeing Eric's charming look.

Hanna just wanted to have it all by herself which was very impossible.

“Is this how you treated the most VIP in your resort?” He asked frowning but smiling.

“What are you implying, Mr. Grant?” Hanna asked controlling her temper.

He sounded a bit arrogant but a charming one.

She could not carry on like this meeting him always with his charming look.

She might grow weaker and weaker every day.

How could she resist him?

“I know you are the most VIP, you don’t need to say that. And the most VIP should be served by our most efficient servant and that should not be me. If you will excuse me, Mr. Grant, I will ask Mr. Harry to attain all your needs while you are staying in this resort.” Hanna slightly bowed and left quickly without waiting for Eric’s permission.

She had to leave quickly or she might fall in love with him again.

It was just funny for her to still admire him so much even if she knew the painful fact that they didn’t have a future together.

To further accumulate more pain, she had to avoid Eric as much as she could.

She knew Eric had something up on his sleeve but she had no time to decipher it.

She had to live and work for her little brother and her baby.

Sooner, Eric would get tired, and eventually, he would realize that he could not betray his family and he would leave the island.

Just the thought of it made her heart clench so hard.

“Running again, Hanna?” She heard Eric blurted behind her provokingly but she didn’t stop.

She went directly to the kitchen to gather her strength back and fix her blushed face.

Shortly, she arrived inside and went to the corner, and then catch her breath.

‘When is he going to leave the island?’

‘What is he thinking?’

Hanna was so bothered about Eric’s existence that she could not sit down.

She was walking back and forth and kept massaging her temple.

She felt going to have a headache.

Eric was causing her a headache.

“Helen,” Suddenly someone strode inside the kitchen.

She stopped and looked at the person who called her.

“What is that there?” Charles strode closer to her with a scolding voice.

Helen was surprised that even Charles was still in the resort.

She didn’t need to ask what was he pointing out.

She quickly bowed her head. “I saw how you treat our guests. Do you want me to fire you this instant, huh?” Charles was at the distance earlier watching the two figures.

He still couldn’t about the love story of a well-known billionaire in loved with his lowly servant.

Charles could not miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to his advantage.

As long as Helen is with them, he could use Eric in the future whether it’s a personal matter or business or beyond that.

“I’m sorry, sir.” Hanna had no plan to explain to Charles about her misbehaving earlier instead apologizing was the only thing she could do.

Charles strode closer to her.

Hanna was stunned as she quickly took a few steps back until her back touched the wall’s surface. “I didn’t know that you are that capable, Helen.” With his judgmental eyes, Charles uttered so sarcastically. “I wonder how what is your taste which made that billionaire go crazy over you in spite of having beautiful women around him. You… an island girl!” Charles laughed mockingly.

“Sir?” Mr. Harry suddenly sounded behind them on time which made Charles quickly withdraw himself from Hanna.

“Mr. David we are all here.” The old butler added together with all the servants.

“Okay, listen to me closely because I am not going to repeat myself. Do you all understand?” Charles fixed himself.

Everyone nodded to agree with him and looked at him attentively.

“Helen…. Our Helen right here will be the only servant of Mr. Eric Grant. Do I make myself clear?” Charles sounded so serious as he asked everyone.

Though they were shocked, they had no choice but to agree with the owner of the resort.

They nodded with a pitiful look at Helen while she was in a hanging state.

Hanna felt like losing her sanity with Charles’ decision.

“And you…” Charles’ voice made her snap back to her senses. “You have to continue doing what you do best. Okay?” Charles sounded sarcastic carrying meaningful words.

Hanna was pissed with Charles's arrogance but she had no choice but to control and tried not to oppose this rude man. “You serve Mr. Grant your best and do not offend him. Clear?” Charles added like giving her a dangerous warning.

Hanna nodded to end the conversation and she could not wait for Charles to disappear from her sight.

“Good.” That was the only remark Charles said then he quickly left.

“Oh my gosh! He is really getting on my nerves!” Beth could not help but protest Charles’ behavior.

“Helen, are you okay?” Ms. Dally was the one who first strode closer to Hanna and asked worriedly.

Hanna looked at him pissed. “What?” She asked frowning like she wanted to add annoyingly, ‘Are you insane?’ but she saw Charles was looking at them so she fixed herself.

Charles seemed to keenly observe her if she was following what they discussed earlier.

“You know, I might have food poisoning, or maybe I want something more later. I hate to call someone. So, might as well….” Eric’s serious eyes landed on her before he continued talking. “…stay.” With a brief word, it made her heart skip a beat.

Conscious that Charles was watching her, Hanna smiled at Eric as she could not afford to lose her job.

She was showing, acting, and pretending that she was not fighting with their guest. She should give Charles a good impression of her so he had no reason to fire her.

“Eric, can you just leave this resort?” She uttered smiling at Eric but her eyes showed extreme annoyance at the man in front of her. “Can you just vacate this island now? You are ruining my job. Not just my job but my life. Don’t you know that?" Hanna sounded these words along with her sweet smile showing Charles that she and her guests were on good terms when in the reality it was the opposite.

Eric smirked at her coolly.

He seemed to find her funny.

Her harsh words along with her smiles. “Wow! When did you practice this hypocrisy?” Eric uttered teasing Hanna. His eyes landed on Charles from the distance and this made him understand her.

Then he pulled out a chair beside him.

“Come, sit with me.” Eric seemed not affected by her soft nagging and Charles as their audience.

Hanna just smirked at Eric.

Her eyes were already disdaining him.

If she could not control herself, she would definitely lose her job in an instant.

“Eric, what are you doing? Why are you doing this? What do you need?” She smiled at him though her heart was already trembling.

She was pissed and she was not used to controlling her true feelings.

She seemed to be caught in a no-choice situation and that is what she hated the most.

Eric looked at her so deeply like he was digging her inside.

“You.” He answered. “I want you, Hanna.” He continued with deep emphasis.

His eyes were so sincere that could shake her heart.

Hanna was taken aback.

She didn’t like this kind of situation.

If she would believe him, she would be the one who was going to be hurt in the end.

Why this man was making her life so complicated now? Hanna’s smile faded away as she needed to breathe ample air.

She had to stabilize herself in front of Eric.

“Eric, you are selfish. You know that.” Hanna could not help but bicker with him.

She was right.

She could lose her job that instant but he didn’t care.

He had nothing to lose but her world would crumble without putting food on their table.

Eric was taken aback.

He strode closer to Hanna and held her shoulders.

Knowing that someone was seeing them, Hanna was so uneasy.

“Hanna, I’m staying because it is the only way that I can be with you. And yeah, you can call me selfish because I am putting everything aside just to be with you. So, please, let me... let me be with you.” Eric’s eyes met hers and they sincerely talked for a while through their stares without saying a single word.

"Eric, don't you know that Charles is watching us right now?" Hanna uttered.

"By this time, he knew that you are mine." Eric suddenly hugged her.
