Chapter 936
However, he was politely stopped by the receptionist when he arrived. "Greetings, Mr. Kepler."
Stopping in his tracks, Thomas asked, "Do you not recognize me because I haven't been here for a long time?"
Back then, he used to be able to head in and out of Luke Corporation without any hindrance, so situations like today
had never happened.
The receptionist revealed a formal smile. "Mr. Kepler, of course, we recognize who you are, but President Luke is in
a meeting and gave the order that he will not be meeting anyone today."
"Is that so?" Thomas smiled, not intending to make things difficult for the receptionist.
Not seeing anyone because he's in a meeting? That must be a rule he made up. It seems like Hanson has already
found out and guessed that I would be here… and he doesn't want to help me. It makes sense. We're love rivals, so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthow could he be so nice to help me?
Not wanting to waste any more time, Thomas turned around and headed for Galaxy Corporation. As long as Vania
was willing to help him, Hanson would have to jump on board as well. At this rate, he was so desperate that he was
even willing to give up another secret base in exchange. Otherwise, if the truth was exposed later, it would not be
as easy to deal with as losing one secret base.
When he arrived at Galaxy Corporation, it was a strangely smooth journey to the top floor, yet when he opened the
door to the office, he saw Linda sitting in the chair.
At that moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. Did Vania get someone to replace her just
because she didn't want to see me? No wonder the way up here went so smoothly.
"Mr. Kepler." Linda was surprised to see him. Following that, she gestured for him to take a seat. "Why the sudden
visit?"
"Where's your president?" Thomas did not beat around the bush and scanned the room as if he was looking for
Vania's traces.
When Linda thought about the reason why Vania was absent today, her face blushed crimson while she explained
to him, "Boss said she was too tired yesterday, so she's not coming in today."
Having said that, her cheeks were strangely red because the call earlier was from Hanson. The message was so
crystal clear that she could not possibly get it wrong.
Meanwhile, Thomas could not tell whether Linda was telling the truth. Regardless, it meant that he would not be
able to see Vania today. "Alright, then. If she comes to work, please relay to her that I came by." Ever since a point
in his life, he could not reach Vania by phoning her anymore.
"You're too modest. I'll relay your message." Linda assured him in a formal tone before seeing him downstairs.
At this point, Liam was Thomas' last hope. However, Thomas could not reach him through his phone, so it confused
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhim whether this was part of another happenstance.
After sighing, he decided to head over to Liam's company. When he arrived, Liam's assistant explained, "One of our
international companies has a problem, so Mr. Jones rushed over there overnight."
Speechless, Thomas was now suspecting that this series of happenings were all Hanson's scheme. "Alright. I
understand."
In the end, he could only return home in defeat, not knowing how he was going to explain this to his parents.
Suddenly, he regretted his actions. Why didn't I stop Yvonne yesterday? I shouldn't have let my emotions get the
better of me. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this mess.
At the sight of her son's return, Jasmine asked expectantly, "What did Hanson say?"
"I didn't see him," Thomas replied unconfidently.
"How could you have not met him?" She was so anxious that she blurted out without much thought. "This must be
Vania's doing! I'm going to find her!"
