"If I hear this from you again, I will not hesitate to stop you from working in show business." The words Thomas said to Yvonne were the meanest thing he'd ever said. His words shook her so violently that she froze and said nothing.
The following morning during regular business hours, he arrived at Galaxy Corporation. As his arrival no longer surprised Linda, she offered him a cup of coffee and asked him to wait.
"Give me a glass of orange juice instead," he demanded. He recalled Liam's remark that Vania enjoyed this beverage the most.
"Sure." With that, she proceeded to pour him another glass.
She was about to text Vania to let her know he'd arrived when Vania showed up.
"Boss, Mr. Kepler is here."
For a split second, Vania felt awkward because she suddenly felt unprepared to face Thomas after recalling her conversation with Hanson. She had difficulty even feigning a calm expression. "What's up?"
"Hmm, can we talk in your office?"
"Come in." Without hesitation, she opened the door and invited him in.
"Can you talk now?" Vania asked.
Thomas asked hesitantly, "Are you the one who ratted out Yvonne?"
"Oh, you've come to me as a mediator on Yvonne's behalf. Forget it." Coldness radiated from her voice. "After all, yesterday, she stood in my way and firmly told me she would never let me go."
He frowned upon hearing her response because he was clueless about what had transpired. When he got there yesterday, their conversation had ended, and Yvonne didn't share any details with him.
"As long as I am around, I assure you she won't be able to cause any problems for you." Thomas sincerely assured Vania. His words came from the heart of a man who genuinely cared about her and didn't want anything wrong to happen to her.
However, she was unaffected by his words and reminded him. "If she attacks me again, I will not be so lenient."
Vania feared Thomas wouldn't understand the gravity of her words, so she emphasized. "As is customary for her profession, she ought to remain abroad. The most compassionate thing I could do for her would be to let her return to the country."
At that moment, he was at a loss for words, so he nodded. "I'll try to persuade her." Similarly, he didn't want his sister to get hurt.
When Vania reflected on her conversation with Hanson the previous day, she was initially hesitant but eventually spoke up, "Since you are Yvonne's brother, I think we should limit our interactions."
Even if he wasn't Yvonne's brother, she concluded that it would be best for them not to meet when the current circumstance arose.
"Huh?" Thomas was so shocked by her suggestion, so he subconsciously inquired, "Why?"
Is it because I am Yvonne's brother?
She explained, "Doesn't Yvonne view me as a thorn in the flesh? Therefore, I see no reason for us to meet."
"Does it have to be like this?" His expression turned melancholic again.
Is he trying out for the role of the melancholy prince? Vania couldn't help but pass judgment on him.
Since nothing in her life had ever prepared her for this, it was to be expected that she would have trouble adjusting. Despite her stunning appearance, she had never rejected a man's confession. Vania had often pondered why no man had ever confessed to her since she was a young girl. Was she that intimidating?
