Hanson only caught a glimpse of the contract Vania was dangling in front of him, and in that split second, he was sure he saw the word 'agreement' printed on the front page. Chuckling, he asked, "Did you get a really huge deal?" He could only assume that the bright smile on her face was due to her company procuring a huge project which would launch them to new heights.
However, Vania twined her arms around his neck and said, "It is a huge deal, but it's a surprise for you."
A surprise? Hanson blinked at her in mild astonishment, unsure as to what a surprise from Vania entailed.
She detached from his embrace and rose to her feet, then presented the agreement ceremoniously as she declared, "I have successfully gotten my hands on the Keplers' secret base in Kanetta, and I've also pinned Yvonne's crimes on Eddie and made him the mastermind."
She said this casually as though remarking on the weather, but Hanson was stunned speechless. Neither of her accomplishments was an easy feat, and he couldn't believe that she had managed to get her hands on two of the Keplers' secret bases within the span of a few days.
Upon seeing that Hanson was at a loss for words, Vania returned to sitting in his lap. "You said I was your lucky charm, right? Guess you were right after all."
He gazed into her sparkling eyes and found himself mesmerized by her, especially when she leaned close to him and whispered in his ear, "What's mine is yours. From now on, you will be in charge of the secret base in Kanetta."
Unable to cope with such an overwhelming sense of love, Hanson was completely bewitched by Vania and all the wonderful things about her. It was as if she was a dream he did not want to wake from.
Having told him of the surprise, Vania glanced at him and was amused to see that he was stumped by it. "Looks like I've given you too much of a shock," she mused thoughtfully. "Let's see if I can find a way to snap you out of that daze."
The next second, she pressed her lips to his, and that effectively prompted him to recollect his thoughts as he kissed her back with more fervor, snaking his arms around her to pull her closer.
When she sensed his touch, she quickly released him from the kiss. They were in his office right now, and she couldn't risk having him lose control in here.
The abrupt halt in their kiss displeased him, and he muttered frustratedly under his breath, "Darling."
There was a hungry look in his eyes as he leaned forward to try to solicit another kiss from her, but she dodged him in time and said, "Welcome back to Earth." She grinned and asked, "How will you reward me for my feats, darling?"
She was entirely oblivious to the danger she was in as she sat happily in his lap, grinning up at him expectantly.
He raised a brow. "I'll give you your reward right now."
Before she could react, he tugged her into a rough embrace and kissed her ferociously, almost demandingly.
Crap, I forgot about this, Vania chastised herself for letting her own guard down. Thankfully, Hanson did not push the buttons too far and let her go after a while.
"What am I going to do with such a brilliant wife?" he asked.
"I think loving me just a tad bit more is a good trick," she suggested brightly, enamored with how sensible and reliable he was.
He nodded and gently caressed the delicate curve of her cheek with his thumb. "I'll do everything you ask me to." Then, he thought of something and asked, "By the way, how were things with the Keplers?"
"I won't strike unless Yvonne tries to pick on me again." Besides, she had gotten enough out of them, and she had no intention of forcing them to give up more to her. She didn't want to cross the line and appear tyrannical; in a game of chess, she would need to use other pawns instead of making a move herself.
She smiled to herself at the thought of this. I'm probably the only person in Hammond who thinks of the Keplers as a pawn. Everyone else sees them as the queen.
"Alright, darling. Whatever you say goes. You're the kindest soul there is," Hanson praised, once again pulling Vania into his arms and kissing her. He could never get enough of her.
