Bryan immediately threw in the towel. "Okay, okay. Just say whatever you want." Seriously, I've got to hand it to them, he thought.
Liam smiled next to him while putting the stuff in his hands onto the table. "We came right after hearing about Vanie's accident. What did the doctor say?"
At this moment, Vania had gotten up on her sickbed. She replied, "I was lucky. The doctor said that I'm fine; I just have to keep my mind on recuperating."
Liam smiled gently. "You were really lucky. We freaked out when we saw the news. And besides, we never thought you were a film director. I was really surprised."
"That's right, Vania. It's so amazing of you to become a film director without anyone noticing. Can I get a role in your film through the back door?" Bryan suddenly became interested.
Hanson cast a sidelong glance at him. "Will your grandpa agree to that?"
At the mention of his grandfather, Bryan instantly got dejected like a deflated balloon. "If Vania can put in a good word for me, I think Grandpa will agree to that. He also wants me to have a decent job to do, after all," he said. As he spoke of this, he suddenly thought it was feasible, so he smiled.
Vania smiled as well. "I'm afraid I can't afford to hire you. Doing that will cost a king's ransom," she said, before seriously eyeing Bryan up and down for a moment. Then, she continued, "If you really want to be an actor, I think you can get an award."
Upon hearing this, Bryan became even more interested. This was the first time someone had spoken so highly of him. "Really? In that case, Vania, hurry up and launch me to stardom!" he said before throwing a smug look at Hanson. "Let's see which of you will still say that I can't do anything when I win an award."
Hanson's face darkened when he saw how smug Bryan looked. There was already a Jennifer revolving around Vania on the movie set, and now here Bryan was, wanting to steal some of Vania's time while she was recuperating. With these two people being her right-hand men, there'd be no place for me, he thought. Worrying about his place in Vania's heart, he couldn't help but dampen Bryan's enthusiasm. "You'd better gain your grandpa's approval first." I have to let Old Mr. Jones know the disadvantages of being an actor before Bryan gets to ask him for permission. That way, Bryan would never be able to join the entertainment industry, he thought while smiling smugly to himself.
How could Bryan figure out what Hanson was up to? He immediately replied with a smile, "I'll ask Grandpa about it as soon as I get back today." Then, he seemed to think it was hardly likely for his grandfather to say yes if he were to ask him about it on his own. Therefore, he said to Vania, "It'll surely work if you can help me, Vania." He thought that his grandfather would surely like her.
Vania had a strange feeling when she heard Bryan suggesting that she meet his grandfather. She didn't know where the feeling came from, but she knew that the feeling was unusual, so she felt like going. "Okay. I'll certainly help you as long as you ask me to."

Bryan instantly leaped to her side and laughed. "You're the best, Vania."
Hanson looked even more sullen than just now.
Watching the three's interaction, Liam chuckled to himself. Bryan's dream to be an actor is gonna be aborted prematurely, I guess. He changed the subject, asking, "Vanie, are the rumors on the internet true? Is this incident really Yvonne's doing?"
"Thomas Kepler and his father just left before you two came in."
Hearing Vania's answer, Liam and Bryan were shocked. They never thought Yvonne would do this kind of thing. "What are you gonna do, then?" Liam wanted to hear Vania's decision.
"I haven't made up my mind yet. Liam, do you have any good suggestions?"
