Chapter 81 An Unwanted Coincidence

When he heard that, Hanson was lost in his musing. After a while, he finally asked, “Do you think I need that?”

Oops, wrong guess. He immediately said his good words, “President Luke, you’re an outstanding person with overflowing talents and a mind untrammeled by conventions. Not only are you handsome—”

“Get out,” Hanson cut him off before he was able to finish his words. “Bring these clothes with you as well.”

“Understood.”

Now that he was alone in the office, Hanson stood in front of the mirror and was absorbed in his thoughts. Does Vania really fancy this kind of outfit?

On second thought, he questioned himself for caring about what she liked. Why should I be concerned? We’re meeting for business purposes only. That’s it.

At a private restaurant.

Moments after Hanson arrived, and before he could even take a seat, Vania had also arrived. She smiled as soon as she noticed him. “You’re early.”

“I have just arrived,” he replied while pulling out the chair for her. “I have ordered the dishes beforehand according to your taste. Take a look and order more as you like.”

She reciprocated with a smile. Since when did he know about her taste? All they had was a meal together once.

As she looked through the menu, she heard him questioning, “Are you all better now? If there’s anything you need, feel free to tell me.”

“I’m much better now. The doctor said all I need is rest.”

Hanson nodded, but he felt her unwillingness to continue the topic with him. It might be because of Melanie, he presumed.

With that in mind, he veered into a different topic, saying, “I’ve seen your designs. One is for the cooperation between Galaxy Corporation and us, and the other one is Master Mia’s work. Any ideas regarding the promotion?”

Vania already came up with a plan for this. “I suggest holding an audition to select an endorser before proceeding with the shooting for advertisements. I believe that advertising is your zone, so it’s just a suggestion. If you have a better proposal, that would be the best.”

He nodded in response. “Sure. It’s your call. Please have your assistant send me the materials by then.”

She nodded. “Okay. As for the advertisement designs this time, I’ve already asked someone to get in contact with Mr. Wright.”

Mr. Wright was a renowned advertising designer in the country who suddenly emerged in the industry five years ago. He did graphic designing for advertisements in various fields, and every single work of his could break the records in marketing. However, he rarely worked on anything for the past two years.

To have Vania associated with such a figure was beyond Hanson’s projection. More so, she sounded confident.

She gave a slight bow. “Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.”

“Alright.”

She rose from her seat. Before she could even make her way to the restroom, a surprised voice came from behind her. “Vania?”

The voice couldn’t be more familiar. She could guess who it was without the need of turning her head around.

What a fate to bump into you here.

Vania had no intention to stop. At the same time, as Melanie and her family were enjoying their meal there, Josie came over and blocked Vania’s way as soon as she saw Vania.

“Look who’s here. It is you, Vania. Here I thought I was mistaken. What a coincidence; I’m having a meal with your father and your sister. Come and join us.”

Vania felt her stomach twisting in disgust when she saw Josie’s pretentious smile and glared at Josie sarcastically. “Since when did I have a sister? Move, don’t block my way.”

However, Josie would never leave without achieving her motive. Therefore, she feigned innocence. “Vania, how could you speak to me like that? I’m your mother after all. Besides, I’m just inviting you to join us for a meal. What’s with the hostility?”
