Chapter 330 Asserting Dominance
Dylan, who had been paying attention to Vania all this while, turned his head and was surprised to see Hanson in person.
Theyâre on good terms. The employeeâs words rang in his head and aroused mixed feelings in him.
Under Hansonâs presence, however, he greeted politely without conscious volition, âPresident Luke, itâs a pleasure to meet you.â
Hanson neither responded nor nodded in return as though Dylan wasnât there to begin with. Instead, Hanson took a sip of the milk tea placed in front of Vania, after which he wiped his lips with a handkerchief. âAnything you wanna eat?â
She was baffled by his abrupt actions. Heâs asserting dominance, isnât he?
In order not to infuriate Hanson, she smiled brightly. âI would like to have another serving of tiramisu.â
Her gentle voice clearly implied how close their relationship was, and Dylanâs brows frowned tighter at them, who were acting like they were in their own world.
Besides that, he was also extremely uncomfortable when he heard her respond to Hanson. Never once had he heard her speak to him in such a manner.
Nevertheless, Dylan knew that it wasnât the time to throw a tantrum as he had other important matters to settle. Slightly agitated, he interrupted the couple, âVania, thereâs something important that I have to tell you.â
âOh?â She snorted and shifted her gaze to him, acting like she had just realized his presence. With a dubious voice, she replied, âDidnât the receptionist tell you? What a remiss worker. She should be punished.â
Her languid response insinuated how much she didnât care about the important business, though clearly knowing what it was.
Frowning, Dylan gazed at her with embittering eyes. His pitiful act made her snort and turn away in repugnance.
Dylan, who knew not how to give up, persisted. âI thought that we were close.â
Vania looked at him and placed a finger before her lips. âShh⦠Some things shouldnât be said explicitly. Since when were we close? It was just an arranged marriage formed by our families. And you were the one who called it off. We were never close. Never.â
Then, her sarcastic attitude took a one-eighty as she stared at Hanson deeply. âMy man is right here by my side. You shouldnât say things that might cause misunderstandings.â
The ire in Hanson, which was fueled by Dylanâs sinister intentions, was appeased by Vaniaâs words at once.
Even so, Hanson set down the cup onto the table with a loud clunk due to displeasure before fumbling the ring on his finger on purpose.
Dylan averted his attention toward Hanson due to the noise and his gaze followed the fumbling fingers.
While Dylan was trying to contain his surprise upon noticing the coupleâs ring, Vania simply found it hilarious when Hanson attempted to assert his dominance at every chance he saw.
