    Thomas gulped and said weakly, "Alright."

    "Okay. If everything is in order, all you have to do is sign on the paper and we''ve got ourselves a


    deal," Vania said, passing him a pen.


    Thomas'' hand trembled badly as he signed his name on the paper. This was the first time he had


    felt such unbridled agony while signing a contract.


    Vania could tell how reluctant and pained he was to go through this. "Whatever pain you''re feeling


    now is the same one I felt when you and your family forced me to leave Hanson." Her voice grew


    icy as she added, "I think you''ve learned a hard lesson this time, and it would do you well to


    remember it."


    Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. The quote was tailor-made for someone like her, Thomas


    decided, and he was sure that there was more to her than just a scarily calctive mind.


    "Right, you can go and pick up your sister now," she dered nonchntly, keeping the paperwork


    and tossing the pen he used into the bin. It was as if she had settled her grudges all at once and


    wanted to make room for other thoughts.


    "Vania," Thomas suddenly called out.


    She stopped in her tracks, but she did not turn to look at him as she asked coolly, "What is it?"


    Words evaded him at that moment, and all he could do was stare at the silhouette of her back as he


    said, "Nothing."


    Without so much as a backward nce, she picked up her pace and left the cafe as she still had to


    meet Hanson.


    Later that day, Thomas showed up at the police station and picked Yvonne up. As soon as she left


    her holding cell, he received a message from the secret base informing him that their assets and


    rights of ownership had all been signed over to Vania.


    He sighed in exasperation and muttered to Yvonne, "Come on. Mom''s been worrying about you."


    Yvonne did not say anything as she fixed her gaze on the tips of her shoes and said, "Okay."


    Meanwhile, after getting the contract signed, Vania rushed over to Luke Corporation''s newpany


    which had been set up at Studio City. There, she was led by one of the employees to Hanson''s


    office.


    Upon getting a call from the receptionist at the front desk, Larry immediately left the conference


    room and greeted Vania, "Did something happen for you to rush all the way here, Mrs. Luke?" He


    heard that she hade to a settlement with the Keplers, but he did not know the full details of it.


    "Nothing happened," Vania responded nonchntly, beaming. "I only came to give Hanson a


    surprise, but you can''t tell him."


    Ever since the newpany was set up, Hanson had been chairing meetings here. He did not like


    making a loss when it came to business deals, and he would much prefer getting hands-on with


    company work during the early stages of operation.


    Oh, man, she''s rubbing her love life in my face, Larry thought begrudgingly and did not press Vania


    anymore for fear that her answers would only make him feel worse about his bachelorhood. "In that


    case, make yourselffortable here. I have to get back to the meeting before President Luke gets


    suspicious." More importantly, he did not want to be the third wheel.


    "I''ll wait for him here, so go ahead," she said cheerily, not at all bored by the idea of staying in


    Hanson''s office.


    "Call the secretary if you need anything," Larry said after pouring her a cup of coffee, then brisk-


    walked out the door so he could head back to the meeting.


    Presently, Vania clutched the agreement she made for the Keplers'' secret base close to her chest


    and happily sat down in Hanson''s chair behind the desk. Whatever deal she had struck with the


    Keplers, she had done out of love for Hanson. She wanted him to know that she appreciated him as


    well and that she loved him beyond words.


    She initially believed that the meeting would be over soon after she arrived at thepany, but that


    was her naivety at work because the meeting ended upsting for at least three hours. Just as she


    was beginning to doze off, she heard the office door open.


    "Darling?" she called out groggily in a soft, velvet voice.


    Hanson, on the other hand, did not expect to see Vaniazily propping her chin up on his desk with


    one hand and calling out softly to him the moment he opened the door to his office. He thought his


    heart would melt, and he immediately walked up to the desk to pull her into his arms. "What are you


    doing here?" he murmured into her hair. Normally, she would be working on set at this hour.


    Vania happily produced the contract and sang, "Ta-da! Guess what I brought?"
