Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 42

Who would have influenced Hanson? Why was he willing to follow Vania to Farville?

Melanie did not know what to do anymore. How was she going to win Hanson back?

All alone in the empty estate, Melanie continued to stew in her thoughts.

After a day of much-needed rest, Vania was finally back to her normal self the next morning. She knew that she was going to sign the contract with Hanson today, so she got up a little earlier than usual.

“My babies, Mommy is heading to the office now, so I’ll see all of you tonight.”

Her three babies reluctantly watched her leave. “Goodbye, Mommy.”

Vania thought that she would be early, but when she arrived at her company, she found that Hanson was already waiting for her. Of course, Melanie was with him as well.

Vania did not bother to even look at Melanie. She smiled at Hanson and said, “I thought we agreed yesterday that I’ll make the trip to Luke Corporation. I didn’t expect you to show up here this early, Mr. Luke.”

When Hanson heard the form of address that Vania used with him, he frowned and corrected her by saying, “Vania, I told you to just call me Hanson.” His tone of voice left no room for objection.

He did not want to hear the words ‘Mr. Luke’ come out of Vania’s mouth.

Vania nodded along, but she neither agreed nor disagreed to do so.

However, this was enough for Melanie to start boiling with anger. Are these two people fliruing in front of me?!

Since when did Hanson ever allow other people to call him by name? He rebuked her constantly back then when she first started addressing him as Hanson. In the end, he did not bother correcung her any longer, but she knew exactly why. It was not because he had finally accepted her, but it was because he no longer cared what she did. It did not matter to him how she addressed him anymore.

Vania asked her staff to prepare two glasses of water, one for Hanson, and one for herself. She did not get one for Melanie, and she still did not even look Melanie in

the eye at all.

Melanie was infuriated by how Vania was ignoring her. It was obvious that Vania was disregarding her on purpose. Even so, since Hanson was with them, Melanie could only patiently wait in silence.

She heard Vania saying politely, “Since you’re here, it saves me a trip to your office. This is the contract that my company has prepared. Please take a look and see if there’s anything you’d like to discuss.”

When Hanson received the document, he did not even bother to look through it. He

flipped straight to the back and signed his name with a flourish. Even his signature looked as intimidating as he did.

Vania blinked a few times and asked, “Aren’t you going to check the terms of the contract?”

Hanson sounded very indulgent as he said, “I trust you.”

Vania shot back and said, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll cheat you?”

Hanson shrugged indifferently. “Who cares? I can afford to lose a bit of money if it makes you happy.”

Was 150 million a bit of money? The world of Hanson Luke was certainly beyond the imagination of ordinary plebeians.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

However, what did he mean by ‘If it made her happy? Did that not sound a little too flirtatious?

As for Melanie, she felt a stir of jealousy again. Was Hanson under some kind of spell? Why did he have so much faith in Vania?

She was beginning to think that Hanson did not bring her here to apologize at all. He simply brought her here to be ridiculed in public.

As for Linda and Larry, they were starting to feel like they were watching a couple on a date.

Vania had been started by Hanson’s words, but soon, she was back to her confident businesswoman self, “Since there are no amendments necessary, then the contract can commence today. I will have a collection of jewelry designs ready within a month, and Luke Corporation will handle all the sales and marketing that comes after.”
