Hull had a perfectly chiseled face, his features sharp and defined. His glasses had fallen off, making the icy chill in his deep eyes even more pronounced.

It was especially intimidating considering that the people who dealt with Ronald were rarely simple or kind-hearted.

The tattoo peeking from his neck only added to the aura of danger around him.

Susanna was so startled she forgot to react.

Hull narrowed his eyes slightly.

Finley grabbed Susanna's wrist, chuckling. "Whoa there, girl! Not exactly playing hard to get, are we? Who goes for a guy's belt on a first meeting? Might as well skip the formalities and get straight to it." "I...I didn't mean to."

Susanna was still gripping tightly, seemingly oblivious to the chaos she was creating.

Tabitha was shocked too, especially seeing Susanna clutching onto Hull's belt. She was just as dumbfounded.

Susanna looked at Hull in panic. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to, I really didn't."

Finley chimed in, "Then why don't you let go already?"

Was this girl out of her mind? Claiming it was an accident but refusing to let go - what was up with that? Susanna locked eyes with Hull's intense gaze, her mind freezing under the weight of his piercing stare.

"I'm sorry."

Tabitha finally snapped out of her shock and rushed forward, tugging at Susanna's hand. "Alright, alright, you've apologized like a million times. Let go now." Susanna was bewildered.

Meanwhile, Stella came out to check what was keeping Ronald. She froze at the sight of Hull kneeling on the slippery ground, Susanna's pale hand still gripping his belt. Stella was baffled.
