Who is christian in after we fell movie

Directed by Castille Landon, teen romantic drama ‘After We Fell’ is a steamy and turbulent tale chronicling a typical bad-boy good-girl affair. Based on the homonymous bestseller by Anna Todd, the story follows the tense and intimate long-term liaison of Hardin and Tessa. Hardin is a cynical hipster who does not hesitate to beat up people at the bar if they speak fowl of her beau. On the other hand, Tessa is a conventional beauty who suffers from indecision and flirts with other men. However, Tessa’s employer Christian Vance comes off as a mysterious character. We also do not quite know his role in the story until the end. Let us decode the involvement of Vance in Tessa’s life in greater detail. SPOILERS AHEAD.

Who Is Christian Vance to Tessa?

‘After We Fell‘ begins with the news of Tessa getting a job in Seattle, and we come to realize that Tessa is already privy to Christian Vance, the owner of the company. Kimberley, Vance’s wife, welcomes Tessa to Seattle and into their family. Kimberley is also pregnant, which calls for more celebration. But Hardin conjures obstacles for Tessa. He does not want Tessa to leave him and go to Seattle. Neither does Hardin agree to move with her altogether. He changes his decision later, but that is beside the point.

In Tessa’s first visit to Vance publishing, Kimberley lets out that Vance had also offered Hardin a blank slate position at the company, which Hardin politely rejected. In Vance’s affluent household, Tessa effortlessly feels at home, although she misses Hardin. However, Hardin comes to visit Tessa often, and they seem inseparable. However, Vance’s demeanor strikes odder than Hardin’s — it is more a question of why Vance integrates them into his family rather than why Hardin turns down the job offer.

Kimberley tells Tessa that Vance was looking forward to the meeting. But we wonder whether Vance has any ulterior motive to give Tessa the job. Well, it turns out he has an ulterior reason — although has more to do with Hardin than Tessa. Vance is a family friend of Hardin’s, and he looks out for the couple, especially Hardin. The big reveal at the finale entails that Vance is Hardin’s biological father. While he couldn’t let out his identity to Hardin, he tries to help him in other ways.

Vance first offered Hardin the position, and when the latter turned it down, Vance went to Tessa with the offer. Hardin’s relationship with Tessa is no secret to Vance. Therefore, when he cannot spend more time with his biological son due to Hardin’s reservations, Vance reaches out to Tessa. He also probably understands that keeping Tessa in his chalet would be somewhat reasonable since Hardin would come to visit, which happens several times. Hardin flies to the West Coast on numerous occasions to meet the apple of his eye. Therefore, we conclude that Vance is only Tessa’s employer, albeit with a penchant for nepotism.

After We Collided[]

Vance paces his office while in a heated conversation with someone on the phone. His assistant, Kimberly, goes to introduce the company's newest intern Tessa Young to Vance, only to hear him shout an expletive at the person on the phone. She decides this is a bad time and leads Tessa away. Vance angrily yanks open his office door and shouts for Trevor who quickly responds that he's on it.

The next day, Tessa awakens at her desk, having fallen asleep while working the night before. She sees Vance sitting opposite her with his feet on the desk. She lurches up and realizes that it's morning and is concerned she's been fired. He tells her to sit down and then asks if she really read five manuscripts the night before and questions why she liked one of them. She begins to defend her reasonings when he answers a phone call. He interrupts her and tells her to follow him as he leads her outside to a van that they climb into. Waiting in the van are Kimberly and Trevor. Vance explains to a confused Tessa that he has a potential investor, Neal, who they have to win over in order to finance the next branch of Vance Publishing in Seattle.

When the group arrives at the hotel, Vance leads the way in where he is greeted by a hotel manager who assures him that they fulfilled his accommodation of having a printer in Trevor's room. However, Tessa's room wasn't ready on time so they upgraded her to a suite compliments of the hotel, of course. Vance recommends that Kimberly take Tessa shopping for a dress for that night, to which Kimberly happily obliges. That evening, while talking to Tessa, Kimberly explains that she and Vance are more than co-workers and have been for a few years since Vance's wife died.

Vance, Kimberly, and Trevor wait for Tessa to join them in the lobby. When she does, Trevor comments that she cleans up nice, which Vance finds amusing as Trevor "sure knows how to charm the ladies". He then tells Tessa she looks nice and, with his hand on Kimberly's back, leads the way to the nightclub. He and Kim dance together at the club while Neal socializes with Trevor and Tessa. The next morning, he and Kim join Trevor and Tessa in the hotel lobby where he delivers the good news that Neal wrote them a large check to help finance the expansion. He congratulates them on having done a good job as he leaves the lobby with his arm around Kim's shoulders.

On New Years Eve, Vance calls Tessa to ask why she isn't at work which causes her to panic as she thought she had the night off. Vance laughs happy to have messed with her a little. He then tells her that with the Seattle branch funded, Vance and Kim plan to move to Seattle until things are settled there. He wants to bring Tessa with them in a permanent position at the company. He will pay for her schooling, living expenses, and anything else she needs. She is surprised by the offer and asks if she can think about it, to which he is a little surprised but agrees and wishes her a happy new year before hanging up.

A few weeks later, he and Kimberly host a going away party which they invite Hardin and Tessa to attend. Vance gives a toast thanking Kim for being supportive of his endeavors with the company. He states that earlier that week he was talking with Smith, who told him that going away parties are sad and he agreed so they came up with a way to turn the night into a celebration. He whispers into Smith's ear and the boy walks toward Kim who is across from them, and drops on one knee asking her to marry his dad and become his stepmom. Kim is elated and proclaims yes as she hugs the boy close. After a few moments, Vance jokingly asks where his hug is and she hurries to him to give him a hug and kiss.

After the engagement, Hardin Scott tries to follow Tessa in an attempt to talk with her. However, he loses her when he descends the staircase. He is immediately greeted by Vance who puts his hands on Hardin's shoulders and tells him that Tessa went out the front but he has to hurry if he's going to catch her. Hardin thanks him before running off after Tessa. Vance watches him leave with a peculiar look on his face.
