Chapter 151 99 Diamonds
The lobby on the first floor was filled with people.
Those people were all wearing formal suits and had the same expressions on their faces. One might even think they were all copies of each other.
Vania rubbed her eyes, thinking that she must be seeing things. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the same scene presented itself.
She looked at Linda, stunned. “What are these people doing here?”
“Uh…” Linda couldn’t explain it either. Before they came in, they sent a representative with a message saying that President Luke had asked them to come and see Ms. Greyson.
Before she could inquire further, she was startled by the sudden rush of people barging through the doors, so she hastily went upstairs to report to Vania.
These people looked like the mafia or something, and if they didn’t tell her that President Luke had asked them to come, she would think that they were here to rob and destroy the place.
When they saw Vania, the people spoke in unison, ignoring how surprised she was. “Ms. Greyson, please accept this gift.”
Their voices thundered in her ears. As they spoke, they showed her the gifts they were holding, which were diamonds in velvet gift boxes.
Their presence was too stunning, and if it weren’t for their actions, Vania and the others wouldn’t even have noticed that they were holding something.
There were probably ninety-nine people in the lobby, and they all showed the diamonds at the same time, which glittered so brilliantly that Vania could hardly keep her eyes open.
She was completely dumbfounded right now, and she needed time to comprehend what she was seeing.
Hanson sent people to see her just to give her diamonds?
He even chose such a bizarre way of presenting the gift. Was he scared that she couldn’t remember it or something?
Also, ninety-nine people were each holding diamonds in their hands. Did Hanson want them to throw their diamonds at her?
Vania suspected that Hanson was getting back at her for rejecting him.
Noticing that Vania hadn’t moved, one of the representatives walked over to her. “Ms. Greyson, we come on special orders from our president. He insists that you accept this gift. He has given you diamonds, which you love, in hopes that he could get to know you better.”
Get to know me better? Vania chuckled nervously when she heard the phrase. Just as expected, he did this because he was ashamed, for she had rejected him.
After all, his way of getting to know her seemed to have gone askew. She didn’t really fancy diamonds at all.
Moreover, she would be the only one who could withstand this scene. If it were any other woman, they would be shocked silly and do whatever Hanson asked of them.
Vania looked at the representative and said in disbelief, “Tell your president that I really don’t like diamonds, and he can stop sending me gifts already. Take your men and leave as soon as possible. You’re getting in the way of my company’s routines.”
Some of the employees, however, were gazing at the scene in envy and admiration.
“If a man gives me diamonds like this, I’d marry him right away.”
“Other people give diamonds by the unit, but this president gives diamonds in handfuls.”
“Could it be that this president has fallen in love with our boss?”
The employees discussed in hushed voices.
The representative said, “Ms. Greyson, I’m sorry, but you’ll have to talk to the president himself. We’re only tasked with delivering the gift. Our president said that if you don’t accept it, none of us will be allowed to leave. Please don’t do this to us, Ms. Greyson.”
The onlookers also cheered, “Ms. Greyson, take it, take it!”
It almost looked like a demonstration.
Caught off guard by the turn of events, Vania was at a loss as she struggled in exasperation.
She didn’t know if she should laugh or cry. What was Hanson trying to do?
These people couldn’t stay here forever. She waved toward the shouting crowd, asking them to calm down and stop gathering attention.
