Chapter 31


    Vania blinked a few times before she realized what Hanson was trying to say. Oh, so that’s what


    he’s asking about. She had no idea why he wanted to know that, but she shook her head. “No. Why


    do you ask?”


    The frown disappeared from his forehead when he heard her response. He felt rxed and heaved


    a sigh of relief. “Nothing,” he answered. “You should pack up now.”


    “Okay.” She gave him a look of suspicion, though she did not ask why he wanted to know that.


    Hanson was watching her, feeling really happy that Vania was single. A momentter, however, he


    chided himself, So what if she’s single? That’s none of my business. I’m just trying to help. She


    might get duped, and I’m too kind to stand by and watch that happen. Something bad might have


    happened if I hadn’te to her help. Yep, that’s right.


    He then took a big bite of the food. Not bad. This is peak Easnd brekkie.


    Vania and Hanson arrived at Hammond International Airport five hourster. Linda was already


    waiting for Vania at the entrance, but when she saw her showing up with Hanson, her eyes widened


    in disbelief. Why’d theye together? Is Mr. Lukeing to Easnd as well?


    Linda wanted to know what the truth behind this was.


    Before she got into the car, Vania told Hanson professionally, “I will bring the contract to Luke


    Corporation first thing tomorrow morning. Thank you for your help. Goodbye.”


    Hanson nodded. “Alright.”


    He might have seemed deadpan on the outside, but he wasughing on the inside. She has two


    personas, huh? She’s a different person in Hammond. Interesting.

    Linda knew the trip had failed, for Vania came back all by herself after all. Linda could see the


    sadness in Vania’s eyes, and she sympathized with Vania.


    Vania reclined back into her seat as the exhaustion took over her while she said, “Take


    me home.”


    “Yes, boss.” Linda sped up.


    Vania stared at the scenery outside the window. Home was where her heart was; as . long as she


    could rest, she would always get back to work the next day feeling refreshed.


    Vania spaced out all the way home. The events that happened over thest two days yed in her


    mind like a movie in fast-forward mode. She snapped out of it a momentter, and there was


    nothing but an icy chill in her eyes. I’ve underestimated Mnie, it seems.


    The car stopped before the gates of Haling Vi.


    Vania told Linda, “Handle thepany for the day. I’lle back tomorrow.”


    Linda nodded, for she knew Vania needed her rest. “I understand. Get some rest, boss. I’ll be going


    now.”


    “Go.”


    The moment she came back into the vi, her kids surrounded her. “Wee back, Mommy! We’ve


    missed you!” They circled their mother, trying to see if she was hurt anywhere.


    The sight of her children washed away all her frustrations. She held them in her arms and kissed


    their foreheads. “I’m fine, kids,” she said, her voice thick with worry and longing. “I’m back in one


    piece, so don’t worry about it. I was saved in the nick of time thanks to your tracking device, and the


    one who saved me was Hanson. He’s the boss of Luke Corporation. You kids hacked into their


    internalwork before, and I owe him a favor this time.”
