"Vanie, how are you feeling? Let's have lunch together if you can," suggested Liam.
Vania glanced at Hanson's expression before replying with a nod, "I feel okay. As it happens, I'm a little hungry, so let's eat together."
Hanson pointed at Bryan. "In that case, let him express his sincerity first."
Bryan immediately felt somewhat short of cash.
"What a nice person you are, Uncle Bryan," Jacob said while taking Bryan's hand in a very friendly manner.
"Uncle Bryan, you just said that you'd buy nice clothes for us. That's so kind of you," Morales and Morgan flattered.
"I'm so hungry. Let's hurry and get something delicious to eat." Jacob tugged at Bryan's hand again.
Bryan instantly felt his heart melt. He promptly nodded, saying, "Come on, let's go and have lunch right away." Then, he said to the kids, "You guys have to help me join the film crew."
The kids beat their chests and replied, "That's easy. As long as we're here, you'll absolutely be able to join the film crew."
At this moment, Bryan was already bursting with impatience. "That's great! Let's do it tonight."
The kids nodded. "Okay."
Just when they reached the door, Kiki came in while carrying a food jar. Suddenly seeing so many people in the room, she quickly backed away with an innocent expression. Then, as everyone was watching, she said to Vania in a low voice, "Ms. Greyson, I'm here especially to bring you lunch." She could tell that they were going out, so perhaps they would bring her with them because of what she did. Immediately, she asked as if puzzled, "Did I come at a bad time, Ms. Greyson? Are you guys going out?"
Vania nodded. "You did come at a bad time since we're going out. And besides, didn't I tell you a while ago that I don't need you to bring me lunch?" At this moment, she suddenly felt that she had underestimated this young lady who had professed her admiration for her.
Not knowing the reason for Vania's sudden change of attitude, Kiki looked somewhat flustered. She quickly explained, "You've got the wrong idea about me, Ms. Greyson. It's me who wants to see you to express my respect for you."
Vania sneered inwardly, but her face gave nothing away. She said to Kiki, "Thanks for your kindness, but I have something else to do. Please go back."
"Please don't be angry, Ms. Greyson. It's my fault for coming here. Here's some nutritious porridge that I cooked for you myself. Now that I've brought it here, please don't turn it down, okay?"
Vania silently watched Kiki playact. Since when am I angry? she thought. Seeing that the latter had finished her sentence, she finally replied, "Since you made it yourself, it'll indeed be too hurtful if I throw it away. You'd better take it back with you."

At this moment, Kiki panicked for real; she really couldn't figure out why Vania's attitude had changed so quickly. Right now, she had no choice but to say in disappointment, "Okay then. I won't be bothering you anymore. Sorry, Ms. Greyson." With that, she ran away with the food jar in her arms, as if she were heartbroken.
Watching her receding figure, Bryan commented, "Tsk, tsk. Seems like she's another one of the thousands of ladies bewitched by Hanson's dashing good looks."
Hanson retorted right away, "You're wrong this time. The one she likes is Vania."
"Huh?" Bryan instantly choked on his own saliva. He looked at Vania in disbelief, asking, "Really?" It doesn't seem like that to me, though. She pretended to bring Vania lunch, but her eyes were fixed on Hanson the whole time.
