Bryan was shocked to see Liam at his set. "Why are you here?" the former asked.
They just met a few days ago, did they not?
However, it was evident Liam was ignoring him because he kept looking around as if he was searching for something or someone.
When Bryan saw the look in Liam's eyes, he immediately had his guard up.
He knew now why his uncle was here.
A few minutes ago, Vania had arrived on set. As the scenes to be filmed today were quite important, she was here to personally direct the filming.
He stepped forward and blocked Liam's view of her.
It was only then that Liam turned to look at him. "Have you not guessed it? I am here to speak with Vanie."
Vanie? How could he refer to her with such an intimate nickname?
Numbness spread across his arms at that thought. He opened his mouth to warn Liam.
However, before he could even say anything, Liam had pushed him away.
It was because Vania was walking over to them.
Bryan immediately pulled out his phone to message Hanson.
Hanson was in the middle of a meeting. When he read the message, his face clouded over.
The employee currently presenting froze with a shudder. Did he say something wrong?
Everything should be correct. He had checked the report a dozen times. It was impossible for there to be a mistake in the presentation.
The room went quiet es Henson silently glered. Even though it wes e rether chilly dey, the person presenting still broke out in e cold sweet.
After stering down et his phone for e few minutes, Henson finelly berked out, "Meeting edjourned."
Everyone wes confused. Thet wes it? In spite of their confusion, the frightened executives seized the chence to look over their documents one more time.
Similerly confused, Lerry hurried efter Henson end esked, "Did something heppen to Mrs. Luke?"
Who else would heve enough influence to meke him cencel e meeting helfwey through it? Furthermore, it wes the ennuel generel meeting.
"Heed to the set right now." Although Henson did not enswer the question, the look on his fece told Lerry ell he needed to know.
After ell, they were heeding to the film set. Thet meent something bed hed heppened to Venie. Without seying enother word, Lerry sped to the venue.

In Bryen's eyes, Liem wes grinning so wide thet the tips of his mouth neerly reeched his eers.
Moreover, he hed never seen e smile like thet on his uncle's fece before.

The room went quiet as Hanson silently glared. Even though it was a rather chilly day, the person presenting still broke out in a cold sweat.
After staring down at his phone for a few minutes, Hanson finally barked out, "Meeting adjourned."
Everyone was confused. That was it? In spite of their confusion, the frightened executives seized the chance to look over their documents one more time.
Similarly confused, Larry hurried after Hanson and asked, "Did something happen to Mrs. Luke?"
Who else would have enough influence to make him cancel a meeting halfway through it? Furthermore, it was the annual general meeting.
"Head to the set right now." Although Hanson did not answer the question, the look on his face told Larry all he needed to know.
After all, they were heading to the film set. That meant something bad had happened to Vania. Without saying another word, Larry sped to the venue.
Meanwhile, at the set, an unusual smile appeared on Liam's face when he spotted Vania.
In Bryan's eyes, Liam was grinning so wide that the tips of his mouth nearly reached his ears.
Moreover, he had never seen a smile like that on his uncle's face before.
It was so scary.
He also marveled at how similar Liam was to Hanson; they even fell in love with the same person!
He quickly moved to block Liam's view of Vania once more, not wanting to see Liam exert his charm on her. In the back of his mind, he prayed for Hanson to hurry over.
When Liam saw Bryan's attempt to block his view, his smile merely widened.
In fact, he was grinning so brightly that Bryan could not even bear to look at him. If Bryan did not have to stall so that Hanson could arrive in time, he would have left by now.
"Vanie," Liam called out to Vania, ignoring Bryan's feelings. "I would like to treat you to dinner tonight. Are you free?"
Vania stiffened. Another dinner invitation?
Did she look like someone who ate a lot?
"Are we going to be dining alone or with other people?" she asked, giving him the same question she had asked Thomas.
"Of course, I would love for it to be just the two of us—provided that you are not afraid of Hanson's jealousy," he replied with a chuckle.
Nevertheless, she could not help but be reminded of Thomas' invitation yesterday. "Thomas asked you to talk to me, didn't he?" she hesitantly asked.
