Tom and even Hank and Alex were listening to her very advertently. Though Alex had told Hannah telepathically to reject Tom without making him heartbroken, he had not written the script on how she would do that.
When they heard the last sentence, Hank was almost on the edge of his seat as if he wanted to know more. Alex was sure if he gave him popcorn, Hank would appreciate the drama going in front of him even more.
Tom looked dejected and when he heard that Hannah already had someone in his heart, he almost felt cheated. But when he thought about it again, Tom knew he was just being stupid.

"Sigh, telling you about my private life is against the rule but if... Lord Alex gives his permission then..."
Alex also wanted to know what his puppet had in mind so he readily gave his permission.
