Chapter 54 An Unequal Exchange

Larry sounded quite rude, and his current behavior was not befitting of his professionalism.

Instantly, Hanson’s expression turned cold. After all, Larry had never made a blunder in his job for all these years.

This was an important occasion today, so Hanson could not comprehend why Larry was behaving so strangely.

Hanson’s brows were tightly furrowed as he turned in the direction of the door to take a look. At that moment, he couldn’t help exclaiming in his mind too as soon as he turned over. It’s her!

Vania shot a look at the two men, who were significantly stunned and hadn’t yet come to their senses. Then, she walked into the room with a slight smile.

She stood in front of Hanson quite nonchalantly.

She said politely, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Luke. It seems that I should reintroduce myself to you.”

“My name is Mia, and I’m here for our appointment.”

At that point, Larry had just regained his senses slightly after being stunned into oblivion, and he bit his pinky to find that he could feel the pain. To put it in another way, he wasn’t dreaming.

His goddess was in fact Master Mia, a person who was fawned over by everyone. This was definitely the most sensational news.

My goddess is awesome! Larry looked at Vania with stars in his eyes.

However, he had just turned to look at her when Hanson instantly directed a cold glare in his direction.

President Luke is behaving quite strangely. He doesn’t have dibs on her yet, so what’s up with all that possessiveness?! Gosh!

In the end, Larry retracted his gaze unwillingly.

As for Hanson, he kept his eyes closely on Vania. He studied her intently as if he wanted to identify something different within her.

It’s no wonder that I sensed that I would get a pleasant surprise by meeting up with Master Mia. This is such a wonderful surprise indeed!

Subsequently, he got up from his seat quite naturally and revealed a smile before reaching out to shake her hand. “Nice to meet you, Master Mia. I hope that our future collaboration will be a success.”

She walked toward her seat with a smile on her face. “There’s really no need to address me as Master Mia. You can address me by my name; Mia’s fine too.”

However, Hanson was indifferent to her words. “Well, you’re quite courteous by addressing me as Mr. Luke too.”

In response, she smiled. “Okay then, let’s behave naturally around each other. Let’s not deviate from our main purpose. I reckon that there won’t be any issues with our collaboration, but I do have one condition.”

“What is it? I’m keen to find out.”

Hanson was extremely curious as to what she had to say, and he had no idea what she would request for.

Meanwhile, Vania was quite frank. She did not bother to hide things as she said, “I’ll sign the agreement as Master Mia, and I’ll agree to work together with Luke Corporation for a year. I promise to achieve record-breaking numbers for the sales value completed by Fantasy Daydream Jewelry that’s under Luke Corporation. I will also ensure that Fantasy Daydream Jewelry becomes the champion in the world, as befitting of its status. In exchange, I only need you to do one thing for me—I want you to hand over the guy named Wesley.”

At that point, Hanson couldn’t help but frown slightly. She’s giving out so many perks, yet her only request is for me to hand over that person. Why does she want to seek him out? What’s her main purpose?

At that moment, Hanson realized that there was an air of mystery that surrounded Vania, and he could not quite figure things out by himself.

“Does that person mean something to you?” Hanson voiced out the query in his mind. After all, to him, that man was merely the person paid off by Melanie to frame Vania.

The truth had been uncovered, and those people had already been sent to the police station by him. In fact, they had received due punishment for their crimes. Right now, it seemed quite odd for Vania to bring that man with her.

She lowered her head and revealed a half-smile, but her smile seemed quite pained. “Back then, I arrived in town to seek the person that mattered a lot to me—he mattered even more than my own life. However, as soon as I arrived, I realized that they had tricked me since the place was empty with no one in sight. All of this had been planned by him, so I want to get some information from him, that’s all.”

She didn’t want to seek his help by bringing it up directly, for she would end up being indebted to him.

Therefore, it was just nice for her to make use of Master Mia’s identity to exchange information.

At that moment, Hanson nodded his head. However…
