Chapter 789
While speaking, he took the contract and took a cursory flip through it before signing his name on the last page in
one fluid motion.
"Alright." Liam looked absolutely unruffled. "Now, can you take a look at our contract?"
His actions stumped Vania, but she remained composed on the surface. Looks like he's hell-bent on bagging this
contract.
She swore she didn't know her company could be this captivating.
"Of course. I'll be sure to read it carefully," she said composedly while putting the contract aside, having no
intention of giving Liam an answer at once.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man wasn't agitated either. He checked his watch and said softly, "It's almost noon. Why don't we have lunch
together?"
Then, afraid Vania would turn him down, he hurriedly explained, "We'll be becoming partners real soon. We can at
least have lunch together, right?"
Vania quirked a brow in response. It seemed that this lunch was inevitable.
However, just as she wanted to nod, Liam spoke up again. "Can you please not tell Hanson about this? Consider this
as a collaboration meal between us partners."
If Hanson were to come, this meal would inevitably fail to be carried through.
Vania was about to text Hanson about this when she heard so, leading her hand to freeze barely an inch above her
phone.
She reacted at once and spoke with indifference. "Since my business partner has requested such, then there's no
reason for me, the host, not to agree."
Vania put a clear distinction between their relationship. They were only business partners, and if they were to set
aside this relationship, Hanson had to be present for the meal.
As long as they could share a meal, Liam didn't care what relationship she defined theirs to be. He didn't refute her
words and instead stood up from the couch before extending a gentlemanly hand. "I noticed a great restaurant
right below your company. Why don't we eat there?"
Vania smiled out of politeness and gestured for him to make a move before heading to the said restaurant.
However, who'd have thought they'd bump into Thomas right as they entered the restaurant?
Thomas first smiled and dipped his head at Vania as a greeting before turning to Liam. "Fancy seeing you here,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLiam. To think you guys have come to dine here as well."
He was well aware that Vania would certainly not answer him if he spoke directly to her. After all, she already
looked aloof right now.
Liam, on the other hand, was as composed as usual. He wasn't the slightest bit ruffled as he explained to Thomas
like this was his first time telling him about the collaboration. "Vanie and I are working on a project together. I've
come to discuss the details, and since it's noon, we came to have lunch together. What brings you here?" he asked.
Meanwhile, Thomas had been subtly sneaking peeks at Vania, only coming back to himself when Liam asked him a
question. "Oh, I came to meet a client. I was also discussing a deal."
"Have you had lunch yet?" Liam took the chance and asked.
"Of course not." While speaking, Thomas' gaze was on Vania. She looked anywhere but at him, and he couldn't help
feeling a little dejected.
"In that case, why don't you join us then?" Liam very naturally invited Thomas.
Finally, a hint of an expression laced Vania's face after hearing Liam's words, and she turned to the two gentlemen.
However, her gaze was on Liam instead of Thomas.
