Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

Chapter 839

"No way," Vania said without hesitation.

Hanson was used to being rejected, but he still put on an upset look. "Today has been so tough on me though. I need some comfort."

Why is he being so sappy? she wondered.

"Why has it been tough?" she asked, exasperated.

He was the president of the company, after all. No one would dare to bully him.

Anyway, did he not just torment every employee in the building a few days ago?

How was he still upset?

He pouted. "Someone wanted to steal me away from you, so I got angry."

His voice rang with confidence and a hint of pleading as if he were trying to fish for praise for how virtuous he had been.

"Praise me, darling," he happily continued.

This behavior was just so immature that she found it hard to believe he was a company president.

Her eyelids twitched. "Do you want me to praise you or comfort you?" She stared at him.

"Both."

Only children would choose one. Adults would always ask for everything.

"Is that a demand?" she teasingly asked, mocking him for his greed.

"As long as it is from you, I want everything," Hanson replied with a smile.

"If you don't eat, the food is going to get cold," Vania said, pointing to the food. She was already used to his demanding behavior. "You have gastric, so you're not allowed to eat food that has gone cold."

He nodded and obediently sat down. "Let's start."

If he had a tail, it would be wagging really fast right now.

He was like a foolish, spoiled dog that was waiting for its owner to feed it.

Utterly defeated by his behavior, she picked up the spoon to feed him when she heard someone knocking on the office door. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

The two of them looked at the door as someone sweetly called out, "Sir, are you inside?"

That voice was even more sultry than Vania's from before.

Vania shuddered. How amazing. She had to concede defeat as there was no way she could imitate

that voice.

Hanson, though, was very familiar with that voice; the new secretary had spoken to him using that voice this morning.

He specifically remembered her pungent perfume which made him sick.

More importantly, the way she dressed made her look like one of the lovely ladies waiting in the alleyways.

"Come in." He had planned on shouting for her to get out when he changed his mind.

As he called out, he pulled Vania over so that she was sitting on his lap. He wrapped his arms tightly around her.

She shot him a glare. Was he trying to use her as a shield?

It seemed like she was about to be hated again.

When the secretary outside the office heard that, she immediately gathered her wits and put on a bright smile. "I'm coming in now, President Luke."

She was Raina Khan, the precious daughter of Peter Khan of Khan Enterprise.

Due to coming from a good family and having above-average beauty, she always thought herself better than others.

She was only able to work as a secretary at Luke Corporation because she begged and begged her

father.

In her mind, the closer she was to a man, the easier it was for her to get him. Any man would be bored of a woman eventually.

Perhaps she might stand a chance to get together with Hanson.

Meanwhile, Vania was curiously staring at the closed door. Why is the new secretary taking so long to open the door? Is there some procedure or formality for opening doors?

In reality, Raina was taking the time to draft up what she would say to Hanson when she walked into the room.
