25 Shes Getting Bolder. (2/2)

Samantha's heart warmed when she heard this. Did Daniel decide for the party to be a masquerade just for her? Whatever it is, Samantha didn't decline any more. ”Okay, I'd love to go with you.”, she said as she smiled gently.

---

That night, Samantha called Hannah and told her about the party. She was so excited that she demanded Samantha to go shopping with her tomorrow.

Before their call ended, Samantha took the chance to ask Hannah's condition, ”How are you, Han?”

”I'm fine... getting bored here at my parent's home actually.”, she replied.

Samantha didn't say anything, she wanted to say Sorry again...

Noticing that Samantha became quiet all of a sudden, she spoke, ”S! Are you still hung up on what happened? Tch... Don't blame yourself, okay? It really wasn't your fault. Harry's the bad guy here, not you. You shouldn't feel guilty, okay? It's not good for you.”

”Hmmm.”

”*Yawn*... I'll see you tomorrow, I'll pick you up for lunch?”

”All right. See you, Hannah.”

After they hung up the call, Samantha who was really tired, fell asleep right away on her bed.

Meanwhile at Daniel's Penthouse.

Daniel was scanning through some documents before hitting the sack when Assistant Ahn knocked on the door of Daniel's study room.

”Come in.”, he voiced.

Ahn entered his study with a tablet on his hand. ”Boss, here's what I've gathered about Harry Davis' arrest.”

Daniel took the tablet and scanned the screen. He checked on the police reports' and statements, he also found out about the online article labeling Harry as 'Manwhore of the Year'.. he chuckled upon realizing that this was Samantha's doing. Who else would do something sneaky like this for her best friend? Daniel recalled what happened a few weeks ago when Samantha picked up Hannah from Liam's club; Samantha had said that she'll avenge Hannah. He admitted that she was crafty with the online article. But who knew that Harry was a vengeful person and would retaliate like this?

Most people would hide and reflect on what they've done wrong. But Harry Davis sought revenge for the humiliation that he experienced; thinking that it was Hannah who made the article, he targeted her.

Daniel read through the rest of the pages and let Assistant Ahn go home. Harry Davis was guilty of Kidnapping in the first degree and illegal detention was sure to stay in jail for a long time.

Daniel stood in front of the floor to ceiling window with whiskey in his had as he thought about how guilty Samantha must've felt. After all, Samantha was the one who did the online article and in the end, Hannah was the one who got harmed. Of course, Daniel didn't blame Samantha though he is saddened that he could've protected her only if he knew what was going on. However with the way Samantha is, she doesn't seem to want to rely on him.

Daniel admired this personality of her, being an independent woman. But just how far is this going to go? Are they always going to be like this? His troublemaker girlfriend getting into trouble every time and him finding out after everything has already happened? It looks like Samantha hasn't really completely trusted him. If so, why does she keep everything to herself? Daniel wants to respect Samantha's wishes but until when is he just going to keep mum about anything that concerns Samantha?

With all these thoughts in mind, Daniel could only sigh and let things pass for now. When he got to his bedroom, his phone beeped and he received a text message from his mother.

[Bring Samantha over for dinner tomorrow.]
