Chapter 174 Where Is Her Jealousy?
The bodyguards immediately caught on to Hanson’s intention, whereupon they proceeded to drag Bella out of the ward. Shortly after that, her cries echoed throughout the corridor as she couldn’t stop begging Hanson until the silence drowned out her voice.
In the meantime, Vania shook her head with a brittle smile on her face while having her eyes fixed on the door. Deep down, she felt sorry for Bella for falling in love with a man she shouldn’t have. At the thought of that, she began to understand why she found Bella to be different among many when both of them ran into each other at the backdoor during the selection. No wonder she kept coming to the company for me. She did that all for Hanson, didn’t she?
Despite feeling sad for Bella, Vania reckoned she had a bright future ahead of her. Deep down, she believed Bella would shine in the entertainment industry if the latter didn’t make a wrong move. In Vania’s opinion, Bella’s road to fame had just become more challenging upon losing the opportunity to be the spokesperson for Fantasy Daydream Jewelry.
While looking at Hanson as if he was a celebrity surrounded by countless fans, Vania made fun of him and said, “You’re quite the charmer, aren’t you? Even the young girl who just graduated from school has fallen for your magic.”
After hearing Vania’s teasing, Hania looked askance at her. “I’m sure I have nothing to do with that.”
Vania continued to tease the man. “Have a heart, dude. Don’t you pity that poor lady at all?”
“Do you want me to pity her?” Hanson raised his eyebrows as if asking her whether she would be jealous.
“What does that have to do with me?” Vania saw through the man and asked.
“What are you talking about? Hasn’t April been calling you Mrs. Luke?” Hanson sounded as if Vania was already his girlfriend. Therefore, it naturally occurred to him that he should refrain from ever getting close to another lady. That way, he could be faithful to his girlfriend. Furthermore, he considered himself a good man who would never make his girlfriend jealous.
Nonetheless, Vania quickly corrected Hanson and said, “Let me make this clear one more time. I’ve never said I’d date you.” Oh, dear! How does he have the audacity to say that? What am I to him? His favorite clingy pet? What makes him think I’d agree to be with him?
Dissatisfied with the lady’s reply, Hanson asserted his dominance and replied, “Well, you’re the only person I’ll marry.”
Confused and annoyed with Hanson’s words, Vania stood up directly and said, “Now that you’re up, I should get the doctor to check on you now.” Deep down, she was irritated by Hanson’s confidence in their relationship despite their acquaintanceship. At the same time, she couldn’t help but wonder if Hanson had said the same thing to any other lady.
Look at yourself, Hanson. You look like a man who’s had a fling with a lot of women. In fact, it seems to me that you’re not like the man who tends to steer clear of lust.
On the other hand, Hanson seemingly understood what was on Vania’s mind and sincerely said, “You’re the only person to whom I have ever said that. Until we met, that thought never came to my mind when I interacted with any other ladies.”
However, Vania decided to put a stop to their conversation, thinking it would never end should they continue talking about the same subject. Because of that, she reckoned she should immediately send for April to look after Hanson so that she could return to her office since she already knew he was fine.
When Hanson saw her leaving, an idea sprang to his mind, whereupon he shouted dramatically, “Ah…”
Vania looked back the next moment, noticing Hanson seizing her hand as she frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
“When you said you wanted to leave, I got so agitated that the needle fell off my hand.” Hanson pretended as if he was in pain.
“Ah…?” Vania saw the drip needle hanging mid-air.
“Stay still while I get the doctor.”
“Please don’t go.” Hanson nodded painfully.
“Alright, I’m not going anywhere.” Vania sounded worried.
In the meantime, Hanson couldn’t help but complacently laugh on the inside when he saw the lady’s expression, which he deemed was a sign that she still cared about him.
