Chapter 72

It was time to go home. Hank told the other applicants to return the next day. After that, he packed histhings and said, “Thea, why don’t we go back to my place? There’s nobody at home. I can explaineverything in great detail.”

“Huh?” Thea was stunned.

“Your place?”

Seeing Thea’s shocked expression, Hank amended his statement quickly.

“My place is nearer, so it’s more convenient. If you’re uncomfortable with that, we can go to my officeinstead.”

Hank was the human resources manager at Ella Corporation.

As he was in charge of recruiting, he had his own office. There was a couch in his office, which wouldwork just as well as a bed. He had thought it through. He would get Thea into bed by hook or by crook.

After all, the media labeled her the most beautiful woman in Cansington. He got excited just thinkingabout her hot body and her pretty face. Thea breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that they wouldbe going to his office.

Quickly, she said, “Thank you, sir.”

“Don’t mention it. Just call me Hank.” He grabbed Thea’s hand. Thea avoided him. Generously, Hanksaid, “My apologies. I thought of you as my little sister. With so many people out there, I just wanted tomake sure that you’d be safe.”

Thea touched her hair, smiling.

“Don’t worry about it.” Hank showed her out.

“Let’s go.”

Thea exited first. When she did not see James, she was confused, giving him a call. He did not pick upShe frowned and muttered, “Where did he go?”

“Thea, let’s go.”

“Okay.” James had left. Thea did not give it much thought. Maybe he got tired of waiting and left early.She sent Jamnes a voice message instead.

“Jamie, I’ll be at Ella Corporation to talk about an interview. You can go home first.” Once she sent themessage, she glanced at Hank. He was staring at her greedily. She frowned as she took in hisexpression.

Hank tried to cover it up, smiling, “Sorry, Thea. You’re just so beautiful that I can’t help but envision youin different outfits. https://novelebook.comI wonder what you’d look best in.”

He was thinking about outfits, fantasizing about what kind of lingerie Thea would look most sexy inHank’s words piqued Thea’s interest. It seemed like Hank was someone who appreciated the beauty inthings and was well-versed in fashion design.

“No worries. It looks like you’re familiar with all things fashion. I might have to learn a thing or two fromyou.”

Hank felt like he was walking on air. He was just a guy in human resources. How would he knowanything about fashion design? However, he said proudly, “I know all there is to fashion design.Let’s go

to my office where we can share our ideas. This way, please. I’ll drive us there. As a manager at Ella, Idon’t earn much. Only about fifty thousand dollars. The year-end bonus is higher, so I could still afforda luxury car.”

He intended to flaunt his wealth. Thea smiled. “That’s so impressive! You’ve achieved so much at sucha young age. You have got to teach me your ways.”

“Haha, we’ll talk about it later.” Hank laughed.

Thea went with Hank to Ella Corporation. As James was waiting for Thea outside, he felt a wave ofmurderous intent, noticing a familiar person in the crowd. Quickly, he put his phone on silent mode,following the person.

The person left the job fair, heading toward a mall just behind. He followed the person into anunderground parking lot via the mall’s back entrance. It was a woman he was following.
