Seeing Thomas' stiff expression, Yvonne asked suspiciously, "Did something happen to Vania?"
She would never have mentioned Vania's name if it hadn't been for him. In addition, her brother was indistinguishable from Hanson. Thomas was generally indifferent toward others and kept a neutral expression on his face the entire time. When confronted by someone or something important to him, he would only show a change in expression at that moment. Consequently, after observing the expression on his face, Yvonne could only think of Vania because she was the only person capable of influencing his emotional state.
After hearing her words, he instantly returned to his senses. Then, he replied flatly, "I'm not thinking about her."
"I never said you were thinking of her. I just asked if something had happened to her."
"She has Hanson, and what does anything happening to her has to do with me?" he answered stiffly.
She chuckled as she observed him evading the question. "Thomas, you're getting worse at telling lies." While talking to him about it, she leaned in closer to him to catch a glimpse of what was on his phone screen.
Despite his quick movements, Yvonne could catch a glimpse of his Instagram page. He's browsing Instagram!
Soon after, she pulled out her phone and began browsing the app. Since she and Thomas had the same friend contact, she simply launched the same app on her phone to find out what had caught him off guard.
He attempted to prevent her from viewing Hanson's profile, but it was too late. It turned out that his abrupt change in expression was because Hanson had uploaded a photo of Vania and him together.
Furthermore, the photo's background gave the impression that it was taken from a bed. It's understandable why Thomas was shocked, and if this had happened in the past, she would have exhibited the same reaction as he did.
"So, you got distracted after seeing this picture, didn't you? That's not like you at all." Yvonne made an insightful remark.
"Enough," he growled. "Don't bring it up anymore. We need to figure out how to handle your affairs now."
"You didn't deny it this time." She fixed her gaze on him.
Indeed, he did not deny her statement, but his expression was gloomy with a hint of anger. "Yvonne, stop with the nonsense. This is the second time today that you've done this, and if you do it again, I won't put up with it."
Realizing that he was infuriated, she immediately agreed. "I'll stop talking."
As Thomas watched Yvonne put an end to her eloquent expression, he uttered, "The Internet is buzzing with talk of you. It will affect your chances of getting back into show business."
She spoke after a brief silence, saying, "However, the staff did not provide relevant evidence today. Is there any way to turn the situation around?"
"What are your plans?" He was at a loss for any suggestions that would work.
The fact that Vania felt comfortable enough to bring up the issue at the awards ceremony indicated that she was confident in her ability to deter Yvonne's return.
"Not at this time." She was pretty agitated because she could not come up with a method that would work.
"Let me give it some thought. Keep a low profile for the time being so as not to attract attention from the public. If you get caught by the media, you can be certain that they will write shocking articles about you."
She nodded, agreeing with his suggestion. Then, Yvonne asked, "Are you going to ask Vania for help again this time?"
Thomas, who had only managed to control his emotions, was jolted back into turmoil when he heard the woman's name. "Do you just say whatever comes to mind without thinking about the consequences of my excessive pampering?"
