After Hanson waved his hand, Linda immediately left the room to avoid playing gooseberry to the couple.
Hanson repeated the dos and don'ts as if instructing a little kid. "Don't walk on your own until I come and pick you up tonight. Got it?"
Going along with him, Vania nodded obediently like a baby. "Alright, Daddy."
Hanson's face changed color instantly. "What did you call me? Say that again?" At this moment, he looked like he was restraining something.
Vania instantly realized that she'd put her foot in her mouth. Immediately, she waved her hand repeatedly, saying, "No, I didn't say anything." This guy is really getting more and more susceptible to flirtation. To think that I caused him to have a reaction with just a casual remark. Seems like I have to watch my mouth in the future.
"You didn't say anything? In that case, what did I hear just now?" Hanson sounded a little dangerous. At this moment, his face moved gradually closer to hers until they were about to touch.
Vania immediately fended him off with her hand. "I only said that I'll wait for you to pick me up."
"Hmph." Hanson didn't want to do anything over the top. After all, they were in her office. "I'll settle the score with you when we get home." She has no qualms about this, huh? This little woman is getting bolder and bolder.
Vania was stunned by his words. What score is he going to settle with me? Will I be able to escape from that?
Hanson didn't care how horrified Vania looked at the moment. He gave her a knowing look, saying, "I gotta go. Be good and wait for me." He hurried to leave. I can't stay here anymore, or I'm going to do something out of line.
"Okay." Vania waved her hand repeatedly, wanting to send him away at once.
Before Hanson left, he gave her a meaningful look.
He looks scary somehow, thought Vania. She immediately called Linda over, asking, "What did he say to you?" He almost has my assistant at his beck and call!
Linda replied at once, "President Luke told me to wheel you around wherever you go. If I don't do as he says, my bonus will be slashed." She was genuinely afraid of Hanson. After all, just a look from him was enough to frighten her out of her wits.
Vania let out a dismissive snort. "You're my secretary, not his. Why do you have to listen to him? I'm covering for you, so you don't have to be worried, no?"
Linda frowned before asking gingerly, "Boss, are you sure about that?" Why do I feel that my boss is very obedient to President Luke? Well, I admit that Boss is very formidable, but she's very much under his thumb like a mouse that sees a cat.
Hearing her secretary's question, Vania was startled for a moment. Then, she let out a heavy sigh, saying, "Am I so unreliable now?"
Linda blinked her eyes. Not wanting to refute her boss directly, she suggested, "How about we give it a try today?"
Vania immediately made up her mind. "Sure! How can I actually be scared of him?" I'm gonna move on my own today. I'm never gonna listen to that nuisance of a man.
Seeing how confident she looked, Linda immediately sucked up to her, saying, "Boss, you've got to stick up for me if anything happens." My bonus is at stake here, which will be paid in cash!
