Ch. 2491..2500

Chapter 2491 Chapter 2491 Everyone was in a great mood when they saw how adorable Lynette Batton was.

Leon Batton glanced affectionately at his sister. "Sit somewhere close by, okay?"

She nodded before walking to a nearby chair to sit down.

Meanwhile, her brother headed over to his teammates and began to discuss the banning phase selections.

Lynette sat quietly nearby, playing with her phone without interrupting nor bothering them as they discussed their strategy.

Soon, the competition began, and Leon led his teammates backstage.

There were tens of thousands of people in the stadium, with two-thirds holding lit Team XS banners, half of whom were also holding banners with S written on them.

His teammates were all stunned to see that, each fighting to hold back their laughter.

Only Leon remained indifferent as if it had nothing to do with him.

The team was in all black, sporty team uniforms, with light makeup on their faces.

At first glance, they looked like handsome idols from the entertainment industry.

"Let's welcome Team XS's Top Solo, S! Mid Solo, Stewart! Jungler, Damien! Support, Bryan! ADC, Jackey!" the pretty emcee shouted excitedly, her eyes lighting up when she looked at them. The stadium erupted into thunderous applause and cheers as soon as the number one League of Legends team showed up on stage.

"Ahh!"

"Ahh, S! The greatest of all time!"

"Damien, do your best!"

"Team XS is awesome! Team XS is awesome!"

Amidst the endless screaming, Leon led his teammates to the center of the stage where they waved politely to the audience below.

At the time, the official livestream channel had an exceptionally high number of viewers.

There were up to 50,000,000 online viewers then.

The messages were appearing so rapidly that they were hardly legible as the screen scrolled endlessly- "Ahh! D*mn, S looks way too good!"

"Team XS is practically a team of male models! They're so handsome!"

"I can't take it anymore. I can't breathe!"

"They look so cool! Holy crap!"

"S, you've got to carry the team today, too!"

The two commentators were also very excited when they saw players with both looks and talent.

"Woah, Team XS looks formidable today. I have a feeling they're going to destroy their opponents!" Commentator A exclaimed.

"That is without a doubt. After all, they are much more capable," Commentator B replied.

"Do you reckon we are being too straightforward?" Commentator A laughed.

"We're only saying it as it is!" Commentator B exclaimed.

Then, Leon led his teammates to their seats and sat down.

The competition officially began once their opponents showed up.

Team XS made uncommon selections during this banning phase, choosing Lucian as Top Solo, Olaf as Jungler, LeBlanc as Mid Solo, and Kalista with Tahm Kench as the bottom lane.

All their champions were glass cannons with high offensive attributes. Such selections were.net risky but the rewards were also relatively higher. én.swnovels.net Meanwhile, their opponents made relatively safer selections and had chosen Ornn as Top Solo, Bard as Jungler, Ryze as Mid Solo, and Xayah with Rakan for the bottom lane.

The commentators sucked in a deep breath when they saw these selections- "Well, these are certainly the kind of champion selections Team XS would make," Commentator A observed.

"Yes, I think other teams might lose if they went with these selections, but it's hard to say for Team XS," Commentator B said.

"Don't say that. Team XS's champions on all three lanes are all glass cannons. I regret what I said earlier," Commentator A said.

Chapter 2492 Chapter 2492 "I think I feel the same way, haha!" Commentator B said with a laugh. "Let's wait for the results."

"To be honest, I have more confidence in their opponents' selections," Commentator A replied.

"Yes, but Team XS will be powerless unless they can hold out until the later stage of the game," Commentator B said.

Meanwhile, the fans in the stadium were all making a lot of noise. None of them were too concerned despite being shocked at the chosen champions. After all, this was Team XS.

The reactions were similar in the livestream channel.

Soon, the competition began, and Leon Batton immediately took first blood by killing the enemy's Top Solo.

The atmosphere in the stadium instantly became energized.

The match heated up when three opponents headed to the Top Lane to attack Leon in retaliation.

However, he faced them head-on with impressive reaction speed and high skill level, killing all three of them in quick succession.

Everyone in the stadium went wild in the wake of S managing to take out four opponents just mere moments after the match began- "Ahh! You're doing it, S!"

"D*mn, I'm having goosebumps!"

"Someone call the ambulance!"

Meanwhile, the commentators had much to say, as well- "Oh my god! Is this what dancing on the razor's edge looks like? It's so cool!" Commentator A exclaimed.

"I take back what I said. I still think Team XS is going to win!" Commentator B yelled.

And, over on the livestream channel- "Didn't the commentators doubt Team XS's champion selections?"

"Do the commentators feel embarrassed now?"

"Hahaha! Honestly, I'd be worried if other players chose those champions. However, I'm not worried at all when it's Team XS." Meanwhile, Leon's teammates were beside themselves on the stage- "Leon, you're way too good!" Stewart exclaimed.

"You're the greatest of all time, Leon!" Jackey added.

"You go, Leon!" Bryan cheered.

"I should camp at Top Lane for this round.

Le We still need to depend on et carry us through," Damien said.

"Let's end this match quickly," Leon said calmly.

get "Okay!" everyone answered simultaneously, feeling motivated after he had killed off four of their opponents right at the beginning of the match.

Team XS did well on all three lanes for the rest of it.

The team's Jungler also managed to kill every opponent he encountered.

Team XS won the match within twelve eneminutes, dominating the s throughout every minet Sort match. Contentmi.net It happened so quickly that even the audience members hadn't registered the fact that they'd won.

The enemies barely had a chance to catch a breather.

Team XS's fans were left stunned when they saw the word 'victory' on the screen- "I can't believe this match lasted for only twelve minutes!"

"That's how long I take to drink a cup of tea. I can't believe they won so soon."

"Is this Team XS? I'm surprised!"

"Oh my god! That's so cool."

The commentators were beside themselves- "Umm, I'm truly shocked," Commentator A muttered.

"Team XS is made up of beasts!" Commentator B exclaimed.

"Team XS is out of this world, right?"

"They must be the best team in the galaxy!" Commentator B added.

On the livestream channel- "Woah, Team XS is amazing!"

"Team XS is the best!"

"They're way too cool!"

Chapter 2493 Chapter 2493 The second match began shortly after.

Team XS chose the same champions, and their opponents did the same with theirs, as they were reluctant to admit defeat.

History repeated itself, and Leon Batton led his team to victory again.

In the third match, both teams chose the same champions yet again.

Both commentators were shocked when they confirmed their champion selections- "What's going on? Why aren't they banning the heroes Team XS is good at?"

"Looks like the opponents are truly upset and probably refusing to admit defeat. That's why they keep choosing the same champions for the rematch."

"I'd have banned Lucian if I were them."

Meanwhile, on the livestream channel- "Team XS's opponents are so stubborn."

"What are they waiting for? They should ban Lucian."

"It's just a disaster waiting to happen. They're digging their own graves due to stubbornness. Hahaha!"

Every player kept calm up on stage before Leon and his teammates began slaughtering their opponents as soon as the match started.

In ten minutes, Team XS's Top Solo and Jungler had destroyed one of the enemy's lanes.

In fifteen minutes, Leon carried his entire team to victory, winning with a score of three-to-zero again.

The audience kept clapping and cheering, feeling excited about their victory despite the obvious outcome.

The commentators were even more so exhilarated- "This is Team XS, after all."

"I should apologize for what I said about their champion selections earlier."

"Team XS has become even more powerful ever since S joined the team." "S is unstoppable!"

"I heard Xyla Quest was the one who discovered S. Xyla is amazing!"

"What? Xyla found him? She's got great instincts!"

The excitement carried onto the livestream channel- "Woah, Xyla is awesome!"

"Xyla is not only beautiful, but she's also talented at choosing the right player for the team."

"Xyla has good judgment."

"Team XS is getting more and more fun to watch."

"I'm going crazy, hahaha! I'd surrender right away if I were their opponent."

Everyone in the stadium was excited by the outcome.

Leon and his teammates were equally excited- "Killing them was so fun. I like this kind of massacre-style of playing," Stewart said.

"We used to do this, too, but it was never as fun as playing with S," Jackey expressed. "Ever since S joined us, I feel like my role as Support is insignificant," Bryan told them.

"My role as Jungler feels pointless too.

we'd still win, right?" Damien joked.

One could replace me, Everyone couldn't resist laughing when they heard what he said.

Meanwhile, Leon appeared at ease and behaved as if the victory had nothing to do with him.

He approached his opponents to shake their hands while his teammates followed suit.

The losing team seemed thoroughly depressed, and their Top Solo even had his arms sprawled out on alkest keyboard without a sw content He only stood up to shake hands with Leon after his teammate informed him he was there.

He felt inferior in front of the mer for failing to make a a dent to Leon's no champion ent hard he tried during the He couldn't even land a single skill on Team XS's Top Solo despite trying every method possible.

He always considered his skill level was decent within his team, but now, he realized he was far inferior to Leon.

His entire team thought of themselves as geniuses in their alliance.

Chapter 2494 Chapter 2494 But now, the opponent's Top Solo believed S was the true genius, while players like them were merely ordinary players compared to him. Leon Batton could sense how disappointed he felt at the loss.

"Keep it up," he encouraged softly while holding his opponent's hand.

The guy instantly felt his heart expanding with warmth at his words although he couldn't stop feeling depressed.

After both teams shook hands, Leon led his teammates to the center of the stage, and then they bowed to the audience.

Right then, the pretty emcee walked onto the stage.

"S, please stay. I'd like to interview you today," she addressed Leon with a smile.

The rest of the team exchanged knowing glances and grinned upon hearing that, backing away immediately to leave the stage.

Their fans were all screaming excitedly below the stage- "S! You're amazing!"

"S is so handsome. I'm going crazy! I thought his teammates were already pretty good-looking, but I didn't expect him to be even more so." "Everyone on Team XS can have careers as models, right? Even actors in television dramas don't look as good as them." "I'm a big fan now!"

Their voices overlapped with each other's and lent to a chaotic scene, irking Leon endlessly.

However, he kept his cool as the stage lights were directed at him, making him appear almost as if there was a halo above him.

He looked like an angel sent from above, untouchable to other commoners who could only clad eyes on him.

Even the pretty emcee couldn't help but feel excited when she gazed at Leon, despite meeting countless good-looking young men before.

She walked up to Leon and smiled. "Congratulations to S and Team XS for winning the competition again."

"Thank you," he replied curtly.

"We know Team XS has gotten much stronger ever since you joined. You and your teammates seem to be getting along quite well, aren't you?" she questioned. "Yeah."

"Is there anything you would like to say to your fans?" she prompted.

"Thank you all for your support," he replied, causing another meltdord from the audience when audience when they heard his words- "Ahh! S sounds so cold and diplomatic, but I still like him a lot."

"He's like a male protagonist from an eSports novel! I'm going crazy!"

"I don't like aloof men, but S is an exception. I really like S!"

"S is the greatest!"

"That man up there is the one I worship."

The emcee chuckled at the various outbursts. Smiling, she kept her gaze on Lean. "Your fans are praising members of Team XS for your good looks. I'm curious; do you have standards on looks as a requirement when choosing a player to join the team?

"How are all of you so good-looking?" she went on.

Everyone was curious about the answer to that question, too.

The entire stadium fell silent all of a sudden.

"I'm not sure," Leon replied.

"I suppose it plays a part, however minor it may be, right?" she asked. "All right, let's get back to business want to ask why you picked Lucian for all three matches. Weren't you Il worried your opponents might figure out your tactics and use counter-measures against you?"

"No, I wasn't worried."

"You're a very confident guy, S. You are a great player," she praised.

He didn't respond, still appearing cold and arrogant.

"Do you feel good after winning the competition today, S?" she added after a moment's hesitation.

"Not too bad," he answered simply.

"That's it?"

"Yeah," he said.

"I have a question that your fans are all curious to know," the emcee said. "Do you have a girlfriend?"

She wasn't supposed to ask a personal question on stage, but she was curious to know.

"No."

She seemed happy about his answer. "Is there someone you like? Perhaps you could tell us who you admire."

Chapter 2495 Chapter 2495 "Yes," Leon Batton answered while looking straight at the camera without further explanations. His seemingly unintentional response instantly elicited a commotion from the audience. Many female fans lost control of their emotions as screams erupted across the stadium- "Oh my god! He has feelings for someone already! I'm truly envious of that girl!"

"I wonder who she is. How lucky is she to be liked by someone like him?"

"Ahh! I'm so jealous! S, I worship you! How could you like another girl?"

Leon knew exactly what his female fans were reacting to, but he could care less.

The pretty emcee next to him also seemed noticeably disappointed at his answer despite her unwavering smile. "How old is she? What does she do?"

"We're the same age. I can't give you any further details," he said firmly while glancing casually at the camera. He wondered if Hannah Roland was watching and if she was paying attention to him.

"Have you confessed your feelings to her?" she asked in curiosity.

"Not yet. She ran away before I could."

"What do you mean?" she asked, looking confused.

"It's not important," he shook his head. "Anyway, all you need to know is that I have feelings for someone in particular. "Do you have any other questions?" he added as he locked eyes with the emcee, who suddenly seemed awkward.

She knew Leon was getting annoyed with smile questio wa questions, so she forced a her face and shook her head. "No, that's all." Ceda Nodding curtly, he directly a pět swnovel.net the microphone to her before pivoting to walk off the stage, oblivious to the screaming audience.

Meanwhile, on the livestream channel- "Oh my god! Does that mean the person he likes doesn't like him, back? Did she run away she run away before he belongs to en.kikistorinet could confess to her?"

"I wonder who that girl is. She sounds snobbish."

"I'm honestly envious of her. I wonder if she's watching the competition."

"I even dreamed of becoming his girlfriend. Does this mean I don't have a chance anymore?"

"I'm so jealous of that girl!"

"S looks handsome even from behind. I wonder what it feels like to be admired by someone like him." "I'd like to know, too."

Meanwhile, Hannah was sitting in her room as she watched the livestream on her phone.

She heard what Leon said earlier and felt bitter on the inside.

Did that mean he liked someone else? It had to be true since he'd admitted it in front of everyone.

That girl must be very important to him.

Hannah was curious about the girl's identity, which caused the stoic Leon to admit his feelings for her in public willingly. Who would run away from him before he could confess?

Chapter 2496 Chapter 2496 Hannah Roland was envious of that girl.

She knew nothing could ever happen between her and Leon Batton, and they might not even talk to each other again, but it still felt awful.

That girl had what she constantly thought about and wanted.

Hannah calmed herself down by taking a deep breath before steeling herself to be strong and gazing at Leon through the screen. "Leon, I wish you nothing but happiness. I hope you can always be with the girl you like," she murmured and then proceeded to lock her phone.

Knock, knock, knock- Three rapid knocks came upon her door a second before her mother stormed in with a stern look on her face.

"What's the matter, Mommy?" Hannah asked, noticing that her mother didn't seem too well.

Her mother quickly stepped forward. "Hannah, I've been diagnosed with brain cancer. I need surgery."

Her admission stunned Hannah, who felt as if the entire world was collapsing before her.

Brain cancer? That was serious.

The failure rate of the surgery was high, but many people even suffer from memory loss or decline in intelligence after such surgeries.

At that moment, Hannah wanted to ask God why bad things seemed to be happening to her.

Her father had just been cured, and now her mother was diagnosed with cancer.

She looked at her mother nervously. "Is it curable? How high is the success rate of the surgery?"

"According to the doctor, there's a fifty-percent success rate," her mother said, frowning deeply. "But I don't want to be treated. I'm here to inform you about some matters.

"I'll start losing my memory in the later stage of this brain cancer. I might not even be able to think normally.

"That's why I need to tell you some important things before that happens.

"Hannah, if I die, you must take care of your father, brother, and yourself.

"Also, my mother left me some money after I got married, but I can't access the money until I reach the age of sixty.

"That's the retirement fund she left behind for me as a safety net just in case I need it later. Think of it as a last resort.

"If I die, my children can access the money. The document is in the safe-deposit box under my nightstand. The password is your birth date.

"Take the money out and keep it somewhere safe. Use it as an emergency fund for the family, but keep it a secret from your father or brother.

“And, if you're wondering why I chose to tell you about the money... Firstly, your father might remarry someone else after I'm gone, so you might not see a cent of it if the money goes to him.

"Secondly, you're the most reliable one in the family, even more so than your brother. I won't worry if you're in charge.

"There's a total of one million. Make sure you allocate the money accordingly. You can decide how to use it, and I won't get involved. I trust in you completely. "That's all I wanted to say," her mother explained at length with utmost seriousness.

After that, she came closer to hug Hannah. My sweet Hannah, I don't want to leave you. I want to be there when you get married and have children. I want to look after your children for you.

"Unfortunately, fate is unkind. Our family already ran out of money to cure your father. I don't want to drag you all down further. That's why I have no choice but to die. "Don't tell your father and brother. This is just between us girls.

"I'll try to keep this a secret for as long as possible. It would be too late for any treatment once the symptoms become obvious. There's nothing your father and brother can do even if they want to spend money to treat me then," she added.

Chapter 2497 Chapter 2497 Hannah Roland's heart ached upon hearing what her mother said.

She felt as if the sky was crashing down on her.

Her mother's illness was much more severe than her father's. It was very likely she would end up dying if she didn't get the treatment as soon as possible. She might not survive even if she did receive treatment.

To Hannah, her parents were the most important people in the world. She couldn't watch her mother die without doing something.

"Mom, can't you take the money out in advance for your treatment? Can't you negotiate with them?" she asked.

Her mother shook her head. "I've tried, but they won't allow it. There are rules in the contract we signed back then."

"Let me think of something," she insisted, hastily wiping her tears away. "Leave it to me. I'll make sure you get treated. You'll recover. You'll survive. I won't let you die."

Her mother shook her head after hearing this. "No, we've already spent our savings on your father's treatment. There is nothing left."

"No, I'll be responsible for this. I want to make sure you live," she told her mother in determination. "Give me the document, and I'll see if I can use it as a mortgage."

"I've already asked. It won't work," her mother replied.

Hannah's frown deepened again. "Then I'll think of other ways."

"What other ways?"

"I'll try asking my classmates for money," she said.

"Your classmates? They're rich, but they are still students. How much money could they possibly have?" her mother questioned incredulously. "Forget about it, Hannah. Stop wasting your efforts on me. I have accepted my fate." She didn't want her daughter to go through all that trouble.

She only wanted to leave peacefully.

Hannah still seemed persistent. "Don't worry. I'll get enough money in three days."

Honestly, she didn't even know if her classmates would lend her the money as she wasn't particularly popular among her peers in school.

She was bullied often due to her timid personality.

However, she still wanted to give it a try. She would think of other ways if that didn't work.

She believed she could get enough money to cure her mother.

"Hannah, why won't you listen to me?" her mother sighed in exasperation. "You would still need to pay the money back. This illness is going to cost a fortune.

"I don't even know how much you'd have left after paying them back using the claims from my insurance policy. What would you do without that money, hmm? What would your father and brother do?

"Don't you want to get married? Don't you need it for your wedding? And your brother, too. When he gets married, he'll need a lot of money for the wedding gifts and a house. He can't even afford to buy a house now. What would you guys do if I leave a huge debt in my wake?"

She regretted telling her daughter the truth now that she considered it over. Hannah wouldn't have resorted to such a method otherwise.

She hadn't thought it through. She also underestimated how much her daughter cared about her.

Hannah was still relentless. "I don't care about all that. I only care that you survive Your life is more important than money," she said after taking a deep breath. "We can always earn everything back in the future. But once you die, you're gone forever. Mom, believe me. will do whatever it takes to keep you alive."

She vowed to keep her mother alive even if she had to work as an escort or a prostitute.

Her mother released a long, helpless sigh knowing that she couldn't be convinced otherwise. "I shouldn't have told you. I thought you'd listen to me."

Hannah didn't reply but merely hugged her mother tightly.

The two talked for a while before her mother left.

Hannah then took out her phone and began calling her classmates she used to be relatively close with.

All of them rejected her.

Chapter 2498 Chapter 2498 Some of them wouldn't even give Hannah Roland an answer before hanging up rudely.

She still hadn't borrowed a single cent after calling all the classmates she was relatively close with.

She couldn't count on any of them, nor did she want to contact her relatives, who had stayed away from her family ever since they went bankrupt.

The relatives acted as if being associated with them would result in significant losses.

Those same relatives would show up at their house with various gifts to get close to them back when her family business was doing well. They would travel a fair distance to visit even when her house was far away in the suburbs. But now?

None of them had shown up ever since her family had gone into financial trouble. None bothered to ask how they were doing.

Hannah had seen how realistic this society could be.

With her phone in hand, Hannah became lost in thought.

Who could she look for now since she couldn't count on any of her classmates or relatives?

Right then, a name suddenly appeared in her mind.

Should she look for that person even if he had lewd intentions toward her?

She was sure he would give her the money if she went to him, but it meant she would lose her virginity.

Even so, her mother's life was more important than her virginity.

With this thought in mind, she tily looked for an unsaved r on her phone, pressine.net she found it.

Soon, a man picked up. "Looking for me, Hannah?" "Yeah. Can we meet up and talk?"

Buy the presidential suite "Sure. I'm at the presidential suite at Hilton Hotel. Room 9999. Come over and I'll be waiting for you."

s to en.kikistoriesent "Okay," Hannah replied reluctantly before hanging up.

She stood up and went to freshen herself in the bathroom.

Then, she changed clothes before grabbing her phone and left the house to take the bus to Hilton Hotel.

Upon arriving, she took the elevator to Room 9999, the presidential suite.

Her limbs felt heavy as she stood staring at the closed red wooden door with the number 9999 on the surface.

She knew that she would be walking into a completely different world once she went through this door.

She took a deep breath, hesitating for a moment before pressing on the doorbell.

Ding-dong. Ding-dong.

The door opened almost instantly.

Hannah immediately averted her gaze to stare at the ground.

The first thing that came into sight was a pair of white disposable slippers. Her eyes gradually followed the length of long, slender legs upward until they rested upon a white bathrobe.

Chapter 2499 Chapter 2499 Hannah Roland sucked in a deep breath, her eyes landing on a handsome young man when she looked up.

He appeared to be in his early twenties, exuding an aura of success and elegance.

"You're here," he said softly.

Hannah nodded slowly, her heart racing.

"Come in," he said before walking back into the room.

She followed him inside, feeling extremely heavy on her feet. A few steps felt like a thousand miles to her.

She hesitated and halted in her tracks as soon as she walked through the door.

Sensing that Hannah was no longer following him, the man turned around and walked up to her.

Closing the door with his foot, he leaned against the wall next to her as he lit up a cigarette. "I'm guessing you came to me today because you were going to agree to my suggestion, but you're having second thoughts, aren't you?"

His family had a close relationship with Hannah's family, and he had liked her ever since they were children.

He always treated her like his future wife, but she never reciprocated his feelings.

He offered to provide for her financially when her family went bankrupt, but she rejected him without even thinking about it.

He was overjoyed when she called today, thinking she had finally decided to accept his suggestion.

However, he didn't expect her to be hesitant again.

"I'm sorry, I-I've taken up your time," Hannah said with a deep frown. "I can't."

With that, she directly turned around to leave.

He spoke up then. "I know you're in a difficult position, Hannah. You'll come back to me even if you leave now. So, don't leave, please?

“Let me to be mine? I can give you whatever Make care of you. Is it so bad you want in Atlantis if you stay by my side.

SWOO "You can continue to study if you want. Otherwise, you can also choose to travel all over the world. What do you say?

"Come on. Be a good girl, all right?" he urged. He sounded kind and gentle the entire time.

However, she shook her head. "I'm sorry, Stephen."

Stephen Dunn frowned slightly before walking up to her. "Why are you doing this? Stop hesitating, will you?

"Hannah, I can make you happy. Believe me," Stephen declared sincerely.

She shook her head again and then turned and left.

She still couldn't take that step in the end.

Hannah felt useless.

She even imagined how she'd sleep with only while en route to the hotel, only to chicken out as soon as he walked into the room.

belongs to en.kikistori t No matter what, she couldn't give herself to Stephen, whom she had no feelings for.

Stephen was handsome and capable, and he was also good to her, but she simply didn't love him.

She couldn't betray herself for her mother's sake.

She couldn't cross that line.

Hannah hastened her footsteps to avoid changing her mind again, letting out a long sigh of relief.net running out of the hotel.

Panting, she then placed her hands on her knees, feeling alive again.

There was a saying that a person could let anything go once pushed to the limit.

However, Hannah realized she simply couldn't.

Chapter 2500 Chapter 2500 Hannah Roland had to think of another way.

What could earn her a lot of money in a short amount of time?

She sat on the stairs in front of the hotel entrance while weighing her options.

In the end, she considered singing at a bar.

She could do that.

In an exclusive bar, she'd be able to earn a few thousand dollars for a single show.

She could ask the manager to pay her half a year's salary in advance by committing to work three shifts daily for the duration without fail.

Perhaps that could be a way to resolve her family's financial woes if that was the case.

With this in mind, Hannah hastily searched for a nearby bar, noticing one right across from the hotel named Hilton Bar.

This bar was among the highest-ranked bars in Atlantis for the past few years.

If this place was hiring, she was positive she could get the job.

She hurried into the crowded and lively bar.

People were dancing and drinking merrily as lights flashed around them while music blasted from speakers.

The ambiance seemed very exciting.

She approached one of the waiters. "Hi. Do you hire singers here?"

The waiter nodded. "Yes, we happen to be looking for one. We were planning to distribute some flyers tomorrow."

Overjoyed, her heart raced with hope as she enquired further. "May I ask to see your manager?"

Hilton Bar would be the best place to work since it was known for giving its employees the respect they deserved. Moreover, they wouldn't force their employees to do shady shenanigans.

Singers only had to sing and nothing else.

"What is it about?" he asked.

"I'm looking for a job," Hannah replied.

The waiter promptly pointed toward the elevator. "Our manager's office is on the top floor. You'll see it as soon as you get out of the elevator." "Thank you!"

Hannah quickly took the elevator to the top floor and followed his instructions. When she found the right office, she knocked on the door politely as her heart pounded. en kikistories.com She wondered if the manager would let her stay. "Come in."

She soon heard a woman's pleasant voice, spurring her to open the door to enter.

A stunningly beautiful woman appeared before her, wearing a black, tight-fitting tuxedo over ran white shirt. She was going through documents at her spotless desk.

Her long, black hair reached her waist. At first glance, she reminded Hannah of a beautiful red rose.

Hannah, who admired good-looking people, found the manager very easy on the eyes.

Then, she noticed the manager's name on the desk. "Manager Rihanna Jensen."

It was such a nice name.

Attractive people all had such great names.

She quickly stepped forward and looked at Rihanna Jensen. "Hello, please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Hannah Roland. I'm pleased to meet you. "What's up, pretty girl?" Rihanna asked curiously.

"I heard you're looking for a singer. Could you let me give it a try? I need this job desperately," she asked.

"Why do you need this job? You seem very young. You're probably still a student, aren't you? We don't hire underage people here," Rihanna answered. én.kikistories.com "I'm already in my final year, so I'm an adult. Ms. Jensen, please. I need this job to pay for my mother's medical treatment."

"
