Chapter 172 Trying Too Hard

Stunned, Vania couldn’t stop asking herself why Bella would be there. At the same time, Hanson responded by squinting his eyes, his face changing as it radiated an oppressive aura.

…

In fact, Bella, who was interning at Luke Corporation, overheard Larry talking over the phone by the stairs and learned that Hanson had been hospitalized in a private ward at Hammond International Hospital. Although she didn’t know anything else other than that, she had been keeping that in mind until her class was over when she asked her tutor for leave later that afternoon. Before getting to the hospital, she made her way to the shopping mall and bought a set of new clothes, thinking it could make her look just like how Vania did when she ran into her earlier at Galaxy Corporation.

As far as Bella could remember, Vania seemed like a capable and mature woman in her long white dress, but since it was a limited edition piece, there was no way she could get her hands on the same dress. Therefore, she bought a dress that shared many similarities with the one Vania had worn earlier, although it was from a different brand.

While she might not be as slim as Vania, her dress was able to accentuate her femininity, all thanks to her slender figure. Besides that, she had also intentionally mimicked Vania’s makeup; it made her radiate a sense of purity and innocence, save for the excessive eyeliner at the corner of her eyes. Because of that, she seemed mature yet playful while looking indifferent yet seductive.

Nonetheless, her makeup still failed to make her look as sexy as Vania. After all, her strong desire to look like the woman had urged her to apply so much makeup that she began to look unnatural as she was too young for the appearance she wished to have. Moreover, she lacked the charm and elegance that Vania possessed, which was reflected in her poor aesthetic appeal.

Other than that, Bella was intimidated by Hanson and Vania’s stare due to her unexpected arrival. Despite countless attempts to imitate Vania, she was so nervous that she failed to present her best self in front of Hanson just as she had planned and rehearsed. Oh, shoot! All those moments I spent practicing in front of the mirror are just a waste of time! As she fiddled with her hem awkwardly, she struggled to find the courage to meet Hanson’s eyes.

Instead, she couldn’t take her eyes off Vania because she thought Hanson was alone in the ward. Furthermore, Vania’s casual outfit suggested to Bella that she didn’t come to the hospital from the office.

While Bella’s heart was filled with complicated emotions, she didn’t dare to express her feelings of surprise. After pausing for more than ten seconds, she put on a bright smile on her face, applying what she had learned from her tutor during the class in which she was taught how to smile and show her best self.

As she constantly paid attention to her own smile, she could clearly remember the details of showing the best smile and was able to do it anytime anywhere. Then, she continued to curl her lips upward, flashing the basket of imported premium fruits which she had bought from the supermarket earlier in her hands.

After all, she was worried that Hanson only had eyes for upmarket food, considering his status as a corporate president. Soon, she intentionally greeted the man with a gentle voice, saying, “Mr. Luke, I heard that you’ve fallen sick, so I have come to…”

Nevertheless, before Bella could finish her words, Hanson coldly interrupted her and said, “Get out!”

Stunned by the man’s unexpectedly menacing voice, Bella shivered and exclaimed in surprise, “What? Mr. Luke, I…” I need to find out what’s going on.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Desperate to know what was on Hanson’s mind, she stepped forward and walked closer to his bed.
