The statement had clearly written that the company would take legal action against all those who had slandered Vania. As the legal department of Luke Corporation was the world's number one, no one would be willing to go against them in court. The media outlets that had posted about Vania then discreetly removed all articles online about her.
Right now, Hanson flashed a smile laced with hints of warning at Thomas. The latter understood what the former's smile meant, so he lowered his head and stayed silent, as though he was apologizing to Hanson for his impulsiveness today. Noticing Thomas' action, Hanson snorted at how Thomas fell at the slightest push. Then, he took his phone out and tweeted the following: 'Luke Corporation has established a branch office in Studio City.'
Originally, the company already had a branch office nearby. However, Hanson established another branch office here in Studio City for the sake of being closer to his wife. Seeing Hanson's tweet, the netizens began their teasing comments.
'I will never be able to learn how to love like him.'
'Establishing a company just because of his wife. President Luke is indeed built differently. How are we common men going to compete with him?'
'Everyone is envious of Vania, yet no one is envious of President Luke? Am I the only one that thinks Vania is the bigger catch here?'
With this one comment, the thought suddenly dawned on these netizens, as their target of envy changed to Hanson.
'Can someone give me such a talented wife?'
'First, you'll have to be as good as President Luke. Only then can you have such a goddess as your wife.'
'Looks like I'm envious of the two of them, after all.'
Thus, Vania and Hanson became the object of the netizens' envy once more.
Back at the restaurant, everyone had finished with their meal. As Hanson did not wish to stay a minute longer, he immediately said, "We should wrap this up now, so we can all get some rest tonight." It sounded like he was offering them words of concern, but he actually had the ulterior motive of wanting to be alone with Vania.
"Alright," said Bryan, who had been particularly in a good mood. Since the cast was living in the same hotel, he looked toward Jennifer beside him and said, "Come, let's make our leave."
Looking at Vania who was in Hanson's arm, Jennifer could only nod in reluctance. "Fine."
Since Jennifer didn't talk back to him this time, Bryan's mood became even better as he made his leave together with her.
No longer having a reason to stay, Thomas then said, "I'll also take my leave here. Vania, please come to me first thing when you're done with thinking about it."
"Alright." Vania agreed before she took her man's arm. "Shall we go back now?" She had deliberately shifted her tone when she talked to Hanson here, as she knew she had to cheer her jealous husband up a little.
However, Hanson saw through Vania and intentionally acted arrogantly. "I'll go along with whatever you want."
For a man who can't speak his thoughts, you're acting quite arrogant here. She complained in her thoughts.
Meanwhile, on the way back to the hotel, Jennifer glared at Bryan and said, "Why are you so close to me?" However, she was just like a frightened kitty here; there wasn't the slightest hint of intimidation in her words.
Bryan shrugged his shoulders. "What else can I do when the road here is this narrow? Let's just hurry up and go." Saying that, he took her hand and strode back to the hotel.
"Let go of me. Hey, I said let go." Jennifer struggled to break free of Bryan's grip, but dared not make any loud noise. This, in turn, made Bryan burst out in laughter.
"What's so funny?"
"None of your business."
The two of them kept tussling with each other verbally all the way back to the hotel. Fortunately, a temporary 'peace' was restored between them when they arrived at the hotel entrance.
Inside the director's room.
Acting as though she was a waiter, Vania stood by the bathroom door and said, "Sir, the bath is ready. You can go ahead now."
