Spencer was passing by when he sees Hannah walking on the fence,

''You'll fall like this. And why are you behaving like this are you--- are you drunk ?'' He started laughing at Hannah's antics.
''Ahm ! Anyways get down immediately.'' He composes himself.
''I wont fall unless you push me.'' Hannah sticks out her tongue.
''You know my hands are itching to push you but I have my rules. I don't push dumb people who are drunk.''
''Maybe you're talking to the mirror.'' Hannah debates back.
''Enough of your jokes now come down.''
''You know I too have rules. I don't listen to dumb people who aren't drunk. And i'm not dru--'' Hannah slips but Spencer holds her at the right moment.

''I guess you then need to change your rules. Start listening to people who aren't drunk. Cause the biggest dumb head maybe you.'' He flicked her forehead.
''Whatever.'' She said rubbing her forehead.

''You'll catch a cold go to your room.''
''I want to but my feet wont move. what disease is that ?'' She asked looking at him while she sat on the floor, legs folded.
''It's called laziness.''
''Give me a piggyback ride till my room.'' She said stretching her hands as she smiled wide.
''Who do you think I am, your servant ?''
''You're the one who wanted me to go to my room then give me a piggy back ride.'' She whined.

Fair enough ! I told her to go---

''Yah ! You're even manipulating my mind now, what magic do you use ?It won't work on me. Fine you don't wanna go, stay here and get sick. I'm going.'' Spencer stormed out of the terrace, angry murmuring to himself but stopped walking downstairs. Heaved a heavy sigh and walked back to the rooftop.
''Get on.'' He said keeping a firm face as Hannah smilingly put her arms around him.

''Whom did you ask for a piggy back ride to come home ?'' He asked slowly stepping downstairs.
''I didn't ask for a piggy back ride. My handsome Chairman dropped me.'' Hannah said making the deity scoff.
''But nice idea. Maybe i'll ask him next time for one.''
''Get down now if you're gonna do that.''

So Haemosu dropped her.

''By the way, how's he like in person ?'' Spencer asked.

...........

SILENCE.

''I'm asking you something. How rude of you to not reply someone whose back you're on.'' Spencer mutters turning his head to find Hannah fast asleep.

''Great ! You remind me everytime how irritating humans can be.''

Spencer puts her in her bed. He was just going back when he hears something fall. It was Hannah's ring.

He picks it up.

''Isn't this the ring of the descendants.'' He said examining the ring.
''I think the ring calls out to us in a way and that's how we met. You were right, we meeting wasn't destiny.
But I doubt if this ring has some other use. Still you never know.'' He looks at Hannah.

''I'm sorry Hannah, but I guess I'll be borrowing this ring. Sleep tight.''

Hannah wakes up the next morning with a much worse headache than last night.

''Ugh ! My head aches like hell !'' She mumbled in pain then looks at the clock.
''What ! It's 10.30 ! I'm late for work. Why didn't Rebecca wake me up ?'' She complains getting the sheets off her feet when ger gaze lands on the table. There she finds a note and medicine.

The note read ---

You had a really bad head ache last night and you were not feeling good so I didn't wake you up. And you mistakenly had my sleeping pills instead of the headache tablet. I'll tell you the rest when I reach home. Till then take medicine and rest !

"I'll tell you the rest when I reach home" why does it feel like a cliffhanger of a webtoon ? I'm dying to know what happened yesterday night.'' She partly messes her hair thinking about it.

She freshens up and goes downstairs where she finds Spencer munching.

''You're up ?'' Spencer asks making faint memories of last night flash inside Hannah's brain.
''Did I meet you last night ?'' She asks doubtful of her own memory.
''Dont you remember what happened last night ?''
''If I knew would I ask you ?'' She said making a face.
''Well yes you did meet me last night.''
''And ? What happened then ?''

''Well.....''
''Just say it we're not filming a drama for you to create suspense.'' She yells.
''Well you were on the rooftop.....''
''And then ?'' Hannah's curiosity rises with every word.
''Then..... I'm hungry.''
''What ?!''
''I can't remember anything when i'm hungry.''
''But aren't you already eating something ?'' She saud pointing at the bag of chips he was holding.
''But I want you to cook something.''

''You really know how to annoy people to death.'' Hannah glared at him.
''Trust me love, I dont wish death upon you.'' He walks closer making the blood rush to Hannah's cheeks.
''I'll warn you, im not much good of a cook like Rebecca.'' She said avoiding eye contact as she escapes her way to the kitchen.

After some time she serves Spencer something which he looks at skeptically but still takes a bite.

''I agree to this statement 'Im not much good of a cook like Rebecca'.'' He says looking at Hannah who was trying her best to control her temper.
''Now tell me.'' She said gritting her teeth.
''Well I was just strolling through when I saw you on the rooftop taking a walk on the fence---''
''What ! I--- was walking on the fence---! What happened then ? Did you save me ?''
''Ofcourse. Are you still drunk ? How do you think you're standing in front of me with all your 206 bones ?'' He asked looking at her questionably.
''Right. It's difficult to trust you.''
''Well now even I don't. I've saved a human twice now, that's against my rules.''

''What happened then ?''
''Well.... The rest of the story is quite interesting so you have to do something if you wanna known the rest.'' Hannah had had enough now.

''Stop toying with me. You know what ? Just keep the rest of the story for yourself. I don't wanna hear it. Thank you so much for wasting my time.'' She lashed out walking away.

Please stop me. I wanna hear the rest of the story. I can't live without knowing what happened next.

''You just have to agree to my three conditions, it won't be that difficult.'' Spencer said making Hannah stop in her tracks.
''Three conditions ?'' She turned around.
''You should at least listen to them maybe you can easily decide then whether you want to agree to them or not.''
''I'll just listen to them. I have nothing to lose.''
''My first condition is....''
