"Since my business partner has found someone to share a meal with, I shall take my leave then," said Vania before she turned and left with grace, disappearing from the two gentlemen's sight without even as much as a wave of goodbye.
Her unforeseen departure left Thomas and Liam rooted to the spot, surprised to learn that Vania had this side to her.
This wasn't something just any woman could do, and she personified her confidence perfectly.
"She still hates me very much." Thomas sighed after Vania left. With his head downcast, he sounded very dejected.
Liam patted his shoulder, trying to comfort him. "Perhaps she still can't get over Yvonne. However, judging from how things are now, you still need to spend more time and effort if you want things to return to how they used to be."
Thomas sighed again. "Can things ever return to how they were?"
He thought it was impossible. Even over time, he might still be unable to get close to her years later.
"Well, it all comes down to how you see it. Don't worry, though. Our collaboration with Galaxy Corporation has already begun, and this is an excellent starting point," said Liam as he comforted the man. "There will be many issues to deal with later. By then, you guys will have plenty of chances to meet."
Liam never put too much thought into this and only chose to help him because he always assumed Thomas just wanted to mend the two family's relationship.
Had he known the kind of feelings Thomas had for Vania, he wouldn't do any of this.
"You're right." Thomas now trusted Liam very much. "However, let's not come here for nothing. We should have lunch together before you go."
Liam gave it some thought. The restaurant was right below Vania's company. If he walked away now, the cover would surely be blown, right?
After all, Thomas had been waiting here all this while to seemingly bump into Vania.
As unfortunate as Thomas felt, he readjusted pretty quickly, showing no abnormality in front of Liam.
Back in Galaxy Corporation, Vania's return got Linda stumped for a split second. "Didn't you go out for lunch, Boss? Why have you returned so quickly?"
"He has found company, so I'm not needed anymore," Vania said nonchalantly with not a sliver of change in her emotion. "Get me something from the cafeteria, please."
Vania was completely unruffled, and she wouldn't get upset over such a minor turn of events.
However, one thing was for sure—she was starving.
"Alright. Give me a second, Boss." Linda immediately went to the cafeteria to get something Vania usually ordered.
Meanwhile, Vania felt spirited after having her lunch and went into work mode.
Whatever she did, she never took a glance at the contract Liam brought, having no care for the collaboration.
Like always, Hanson came to take Vania home when it was time to get off work.
However, right after finishing dinner that day, he dove right into Vania's walk-in closet excitedly, leaving James gobsmacked as his father would always stay far away from the closet. "Mommy, what's up with Daddy?"
The septuplets were clueless about the tweet Hanson had posted the night before.
"He wants to do a live broadcast," Vania explained, making Morales and Morgan gasp. "Does Daddy have a death wish?"
Vania usually coddled her babies and would give them anything they wanted, except for one—nobody but her was allowed to touch her makeup.
