Chapter 816

"Is Vanie here?" Liam asked Linda.

"Yes, she's here. Come in, Mr. Jones." Linda gestured.

Liam smiled and was about to enter when he paused. "We'll need two glasses of orange juice today."

"Everyone who comes is a guest. A company as big as Galaxy Corporation wouldn't skimp on providing their guests with a drink."

Linda had a courteous smile on her face, and her tone and manner were flawless as well.

She was just as quick-witted as Vania.

"Thank you," Liam said in response before entering the office with Thomas.

Vania had her head buried in paperwork.

This was the first time Thomas saw the way Vania looked when she was focused on work.

She fit the bill of what a company president looked like-intimidating, but without being any less beautiful.

Thomas' heart fluttered.

"Since you're both here today, I guess we need to discuss the contract." Vania looked up from the document, but she didn't pay any attention to Thomas.

However, Thomas didn't feel glum about it. The fact that she didn't chase him out of the building was already a cause for celebration.

"You can tell us whatever you want. We're both ready to sign," Liam announced. He was willing to go along with anything Vania wanted.

"Alright."

Vania dug out a document from the bottom of the towering pile on her desk. It took her quite some time to replace the contract.

As if she had tossed it aside and forgotten all about it.

Liam raised his eyebrows. She's really in no rush, huh?

Vania took out her copy of the contract. "You've signed this before, so I'll be destroying the copy you gave me."

She ran it through the paper shredder.

"This is the marketing plan, and here are the design sketches. Go ahead and sign if you don't have any questions."

Vania took out a hefty notebook that was full of designs.

Naturally, these were her old designs. She wasn't in the mood to design anything specifically for these two.

Liam flipped through the notebook before passing it to Thomas.

Thomas had known that Vania was a designer, and he couldn't help but sing her praises to himself.

He kept holding onto the designs and didn't want to let go. It would be of some comfort to see her designs when he couldn't see her in person.

Vania had given the sketches to them without any intention of taking them back. "I will start the promotions tomorrow. Have you prepared all the material?" she asked.

"Do you want to go and take a look with us?" Liam extended an invitation.

Vania nodded. "I care a lot about my work. I won't accept any substitutions. Let's go."

The finished outcome would be better if she took a look at the material first.

Thomas broke into a smile as soon as Vania agreed. His whole face lit up.

However, he was too afraid to say anything. He was afraid that Vania would notice him and change her mind, so it was better for him to pretend that he was invisible.

As they walked, Thomas made sure to stay a little behind Vania. This way, it would count as him walking beside her, but she wouldn't be put off by his presence either.

It was clear that Vania didn't object to being in his presence solely because of work.

"We're here, but we'll need to walk a little bit to get up the mountain."

Liam parked the car and pointed out the path to Vania.

The jade mine was within the mountain and the path to the mine wasn't all that travel-friendly. It was covered in pebbles and jagged pieces of rocks.

There wasn't just one mine either, but several in a row.

Mining work was being carried out in several of them.

Vania treaded carefully behind the two men.

Although she was wearing flats, it was still not very convenient for her to walk up the mountain.

The path was also a little muddy, which was probably caused by the vehicles passing through.

"Careful!" Vania had stepped on a bit of talc and slipped, but Thomas, who had been walking beside her, caught her before she fell.
