Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

Chapter 851

Raina turned her head and looked at Yvonne blankly; she couldn't tell what thoughts were running through Raina's head.

Then, she just ignored Yvonne and left the cafe.

However, her dismissal angered Yvonne, who had always been conceited.

Since when had she received such cold treatment? Everyone always listened to her words like gospel and tried their best to curry her favor.

So, how dare Raina reject her?

Nevertheless, Yvonne suppressed her fury and left shortly after.

This was fine. She would replace another opportunity since she was unsuccessful this time.

Whomever she had laid her eyes on will obey her orders and become her tool.

At the same time, Vania had already returned home.

To her surprise, she received a call from Thomas the instant she stepped foot in her home.

"It's me, Thomas." He immediately made himself known when the call connected.

Still, she had his phone number, so of course, she knew it was him.

Nonetheless, she adjusted her posture and asked politely, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

The hello from her was so distant that he was taken aback as a bitter smile crept up his face.

Yet, Vania could not see his expression through the call.

She waited but did not hear his reply. As she was unsure, she mumbled under her breath, "Did he call the wrong number?"

Just as she was about to hang up, he finally spoke, "I called to ask if you're doing better."

Thomas was referring to her health because he knew that she had injured her leg a few days ago.

This was only an excuse as he missed her too much and could not help but use such a lame reason to call her just to hear her voice.

Vania didn't answer his question immediately, which caused his heart to hammer against his chest.

As she gazed at her recovered leg, she would have almost forgotten about the pain if it weren't for his inquiry.

So, she answered softly, "Thank you for your concern. It's fine now."

"That's good. I'm relieved." Thomas breathed out a sigh of relief.

Then, silence ensued since he didn't know what else to talk about.

So, she could only ask in exasperation, "Are your injuries better?"

Vania knew that she should at least ask about Thomas' well-being since he was the one who protected her.

Thomas immediately perked up as he beamed happily when he heard her concerned question. "It's all good. I'm a man, after all. Don't worry."

Frankly, she wanted to say that she was merely being courteous.

Since he was so happy, there was no harm if she just went along with it, though. "That's good. That's good."

"We didn't manage to see the jade mine the last time. We should replace a time to inspect the raw materials."

Thomas was merely trying to come up with a plausible reason to see her again.

Unfortunately, she was not in a rush regarding this matter and didn't place their cooperation very high on her priority list.

Despite that, Vania still agreed with his suggestion, "Sure. We will be able to start production after the inspection."

Thomas jumped to his feet at her acquiescence and blabbered excitedly, "Do you have time today? It just so happened that I'll be going to the jade mine later. So we can go together if you have the time."

He was actually still at home and didn't have any plans to visit the mine at all.

Regardless, he desperately needed an excuse to see her as soon as possible.

She checked the time and agreed without hesitation, as she would have to inspect the mine anyway. "Sure. We'll go today."
