Chapter 5 I’m Here to See You

In Haling Villa, Vania was reading with her children when the doorbell suddenly rang. At the sound, the four of them whipped their heads around at the same time. She barely had enough visitors as it was, but who would come at this hour?

Vania dubiously walked to the entrance, and when she saw who the visitor was through the peephole, she yelped inwardly. Crap. Why did Hanson show up here?

Without giving herself time to think about it, she immediately turned around and walked toward her children, ordering in a serious voice, “Sweethearts, go back to your own rooms now. You can only come out after my message.”

Jack stood up in confusion at the way his mother was acting. “Mommy, who’s here? Why do we have to hide?”

Vania explained patiently, “He’s the President of Luke Corporation, Hanson Luke. Since you hacked into his Finance Department’s firewalls last time, I don’t want him to see any of you. Be good and go back to your rooms to wait for me. I’ll solve this, believe me.”

James spoke up calmly. “We’re not scared, and you shouldn’t be either, Mommy. We have a plan to defeat him. Besides, with us here, we’ll definitely protect you and won’t let him bully you.”

They had to protect their mother at all times, and it was just too much for this Devil to dare to come knocking on their door! James and Jack’s impression of Hanson became even worse.

On the other hand, Jacob nodded obediently. “If I listen to Mommy, can I have more ice cream tonight?” He didn’t care as much as his brothers. After all, what was so special about that Devil? He wasn’t as good as ice cream, and he believed his mother would take care of it.

“……”

Vania touched her forehead with a hand at the realization that her sons were starting to learn how to bargain. However, she couldn’t dwell on it too much, so she nodded in agreement. “You can, but you have to help Mommy convince your brothers.”

The moment she said that, Jacob extended his chubby little hands and hugged his two brothers. “Please…”

He barely spoke before his two doting brothers immediately caved in. “All right, we’ll listen to Mommy too.”

This time, they could only let the Devil get away.

Vania gave each of her children a kiss as a reward. She wouldn’t let her children suffer any harm because of something she did not have full control of.

As she watched James and Jack returning to their rooms with Jacob in their hands, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Then, she turned around and ordered, “Theresa, keep all of the children’s things. Don’t leave any traces.”

“Yes, Miss.”

After giving her orders, Vania immediately rushed to the bathroom and used the shower to wet her hair before changing into a pink bathrobe. Taking a deep breath, she finally went to open the door.

Outside the door, Hanson had already been waiting for 15 minutes. When he arrived, he’d already sent his men to investigate, and he knew that Vania hadn’t left the house. As a President who had never been given the cold shoulder like this, his patience was about to run thin.

Just then, the door was opened, and he was met with the sight of a beautiful woman who was fresh out of the shower. Her damp hair cascaded down her shoulders while her innocent large eyes were slightly wide with shock, and the pink bathrobe that she donned emphasized the paleness of her skin even further, making her seem pure yet desirable at the same time. As a faint and enchanting scent of roses flooded his senses, Hanson only felt his body heating up.

Suddenly, Vania’s dubious voice broke through his thoughts. “Oh? President Luke? I’m so sorry. I was taking a shower, so I couldn’t hear the doorbell. You’re here because…”

“I’m here to see you,” Hanson immediately declared the reason for his arrival.

“President Luke, if you need anything, you can just ask your assistant to inform my assistant. Why did you come here personally at this hour?”

Vania was quite confused. She had already promised to give him an explanation for the hacking incident, so why did he show up all of a sudden without even bringing his assistant along?

Ignoring her question, Hanson stared at her intently as if trying to see through her act. A moment later, he raised an eyebrow and asked flirtatiously, “Miss Greyson, aren’t you going to let me in so that we can talk this over a cup of tea?”

Vania was completely nonplussed. If the person before her wasn’t Hanson, she would’ve suspected that he was here to harass her.

However, the smile on her face didn’t waver as she declined, “I’m not too fond of tea. Besides, it’s already late, and I’m afraid that it isn’t appropriate for a man and a woman to spend time alone at this hour. For the sake of protecting your reputation, President Luke, I’d suggest you to say whatever you need to right here.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Hanson narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice, “Are you perhaps hiding someone in your house that you don’t want me to meet, Miss Greyson?”

Hearing that, Vania was rendered speechless. Why did he sound like he was trying to catch her having an affair?

Just then, his cold voice sounded again. “This morning, someone hacked into the internal system of Luke Corporation’s Finance Department again, and the IP address was still pointing to your house, Miss Greyson. If the first time was a coincidence, is the second time a coincidence as well?”
