Vania didn't say anything for a while. Did we really win? Or did we shock them a little too much with that video? How am I supposed to interact with Jennifer in the future? I've always seemed all high and mighty in front of Jennifer, but it now seems like my majestic front has collapsed in her eyes. Ugh… Vania thought about it for a while more. I wonder if that's how Jennifer would describe me…
Hanson was still immersed in the joy of his victory. "You should tell me the next time such things happen again," he uttered.
"Next time?" Vania asked. Can he stop being so pointlessly competitive? However, she could only keep such thoughts to herself. "Bryan's a sore loser, so we'll have to be prepared for his next move at all times," Hanson replied in a firm tone. Do we have to prepare ourselves for such things? This… competition… is just in their heads, isn't it? Vania struggled to make sense of the man's logic.
I wonder if Bryan thinks the same. Perhaps I should have a talk with Jennifer about this. Despite having such thoughts, Vania kept a composed look on her face. "Sure," she replied with a nod. Deep down, she hoped that there wasn't going to be a next time.
"That's my good girl," Hanson said with his lips curled into a smirk. Then, he raised an eyebrow to question her. "Should we handle the issues between us now that we're done with them?" he asked.
"Are there any issues we have to deal with?" Vania gazed at him. She desperately wanted to avoid certain things, and she could sense that Hanson was talking about the things she had wanted to avoid. So, her best bet was to play dumb.
Hanson beamed at her. "Well, shouldn't we try to resolve your concerns regarding your skills?"
"What? I don't think that's necessary. I'm good," Vania uttered carefully. She had to sound as nonchalant about it as possible. "But… Why did you say that you weren't too pleased with your skills earlier?" The smile on Hanson's face widened, and the mischief in his eyes was obvious.
"No. I just had a sudden realization, and I just decided that my skills are really good." Vania gave him a firm nod without a hint of embarrassment in her tone.
"Should we try it out so that I can witness your skills first-hand, then?" Hanson's eyes twinkled as his hands began to move around in inappropriate places.
