Chapter 828
He's always acting so secretive after all, Yvonne thought.
This was the first time Thomas had ever seen his sister with those eyes. It was as though Yvonne was scrutinizing
his every word. Upon his sister's question, his hand that was holding the teacup stopped briefly as he turned his
eyes to meet the change in his sister's eyes. "Naturally, I have a few secrets of my own." Although he went along
with her questioning, the seeds of doubt had already been planted in him. He couldn't recall when was the last time
his sister showed that much interest in his daily plans. Furthermore, she was taking up an unfriendly tone with him.
It was at this moment that he finally realized Yvonne had changed.
Just then, Yvonne sat beside him and poured herself a cup of tea as well. "It's natural for you to have some secrets
of your own, but you wouldn't be scheming against me, right?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What are you talking about? When have I ever schemed against you?" He looked at her in disbelief and wondered
just why she had such a thought.
Yvonne chuckled. "Why are you so nervous? It was just a casual remark." Yet, her gaze that was locked on him
grew intense, as though she wanted to peer deep into his mind.
Nonetheless, Thomas was a man of standing as well, so he wasn't afraid of the pressure Yvonne's gaze was giving.
"Don't joke around like that anymore."
"Okay," Yvonne replied obediently. However, she had other ideas in mind.
Meanwhile, Vania had already long forgotten what Hanson had told her, as she had been walking around with her
own two legs the entire day. One could say that it was as though Hanson had never told her at all in the first place.
Nevertheless, Hanson, who was far away back in the offices of Luke Corporation, had already caught wind of her
actions. At the moment, the man was stroking his chin as he thought of the punishments he was preparing for her
tonight. On the other hand, the about-to-be victim hadn't the slightest clue of the danger that was soon to befell
her, as she only continued to walk around her office in joy.
Hanson had intentionally arrived at Vania's office thirty minutes just before the end of working hours to catch Vania
red-handed. Just as expected, she was strutting around the office packing her things up without even realizing that
her husband was already in the monitor room observing her every move.
Beside the man, Linda said nervously, "President Luke…"
"She's been like this the whole day?" Although Hanson posed it as a question, his tone had told her that he was
certain that to be the truth. After all, he already knew everything.
Hence, Linda could only answer honestly after observing the man's expression with a 'Yes.'
Immediately, Hanson snorted loudly in indignation before he left for Vania's office.
When Vania saw her office doors open so abruptly, her expression darkened as she wanted to reprimand the staff
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor their lack of manners. However, upon seeing that it was Hanson, she froze. O-Out of nowhere?
At the moment, she was walking toward the center of the office with her stuff in hand, so she didn't know whether
she should go to sit or continue standing. Regardless, there wasn't any place for her to sit since she didn't make any
in the first place.
Thus, she could only stand awkwardly in place before she suddenly lifted one of her legs. Her current plan, after a
brief moment of pondering, was to convince Hanson that she had been hopping around instead. So, with a smile on
her face, she said, "Darling, why are you here so early?" If one were to carefully listen to her, one could easily tell
she was employing ingratiation in her tone.
However, Hanson sneered and looked at her with his eyebrows raised. "Darling, did you hop around by yourself?"
"Mm-hmm." She quickly nodded. That was what she wanted to convey.
Even so, he was having none of it. "Oh? Can you show me how you hop back to your desk, then?"
Speechless at the man's words, she thought, This man is growing nastier now. To test me on my words.
