“Help me? If the gossips I heard at the company was right, a long time has already passed when Nick Cage severed his relationship with the Cage family, how could you help me?” Veronica Parker said bluntly.
Chloe Bowen frowned because Veronica Parker was right.
“I’m not interested in how you married into the Cage family. I only have one request, that is, to pretend that we do not know each other.”
“Veronica, I know you hate me, I don’t blame you but I gave birth to you and you are my own flesh and blood. ”
Veronica Parker looked out of the window with a cold look on her face. That was a good thing to say at this moment but what about that time? Where she needed her mother and she wasn’t there? “You’re thinking too much. I don’t hate you.”
It’s just that after being disappointed, she had no more expectations.
“Forget it, I remembered that I saw you bought a milk powder, may I ask why?” Chloe Bowen tried to soften the atmosphere.
“I want to drink it.” Veronica Parker stood up and said, “I’ve made myself clear. I’ll leave first.”
With that, she left without looking back.
No matter how many times Chloe Bowen called her back, she continued her steps.
How would she tell her the reason why she bought milk powder? That was something that no one else knew.
Her babies had nothing to do with anyone! The babies were hers.
Chloe Bowen and her reappearance in Veronica Parker’s life was unexpected.
It also had a slight impact on her work.
In the afternoon, the atmosphere at the conference room was almost the same as usual, with Nick Cage seated in the middle.
Now her relationship with Nick Cage was more complicated. He was not just her boss but he was also her brother-in-law.
Nick Cage was so disgusted with his brother that it would have been worse if he would know about her relationship with Chloe Bowen.
Why would she stay at the KING Group? It didn’t matter if she can’t stay here. She was afraid that her fate would not be good here. When she found out that she was pregnant and gave birth to his six children, Veronica Parker thought that she wanted to die and dig her own grave. At this moment, it seemed that the pit was getting deeper and deeper.
“Veronica Parker!” Someone raised his voice.
Veronica Parker regained her wits and saw the whole conference room was watching her, including Nick Cage. All of a sudden, she became the focus of the crowd.
Kay Tours said, “Turn on the projector.”
“Yes!” Veronica Parker immediately did what she was asked and opened the projector.
She was nervous and restless. They must have seen her mind wandering just now. How could she be distracted at work?
Really.
At the end of the meeting, Nick Cage left and when he passed Veronica Parker, she bowed her head and she felt that her nerves were tense.
Kay Tours said, “Veronica Parker, come to my office.”
“Yes.”
Veronica Parker went to Kay Tours’ office and Kay Tours asked, “You were absent-minded earlier, was everything all right?”
“No, I didn’t concentrate on my work.”
“Good. Go and make Mr. Cage a cup of coffee.”
“Why me again?” Veronica Parker asked.
“You make good coffee.”
“Next time I’ll add some salt to it!”
Veronica Parker went back to the secretarial department. Josephine was working in front of the computer. When she saw her coming, she asked, “Have you been scolded?”
“Tours special assistant asked me to make coffee for Mr. Cage.” Veronica Parker didn’t say anything about the happening inside the conference room.
“Then go.”
“Aren’t you angry?”
“Why should I be angry?”
Veronica Parker bit her lip, she looked at Josephine and asked, “I am meddling with your work, isn’t it?”
Josephine turned to face her and said solemnly, “I’m telling you, working close to Mr. Cage would be pointless and stressful if it wasn’t for flirting, so I have to thank you. Come on!”
Veronica Parker watched as Josephine tried to cheer her up. With her fist clenched, she didn’t know if she should be moved by what the secretary told her.
But, in the end, she carried it all by herself.
Veronica Parker made coffee for Nick Cage in his own pantry. She was almost a barista.
She thought that if she would add some salt to the coffee, she wouldn’t be allowed to make coffee next time.
It’s just that she wasn’t able to find a salt bag in that pantry.
She opened the refrigerator as well as the drawers but there was nothing but ice.
So, this was an ice-making refrigerator!
But if there was salt in the pantry, would she really dare to put it in his drink?
She realized that it would be better not to mess with Nick Cage.
Nick Cage was a dangerous person who had an unfathomable mind. He would be able to send people to hell at any time.
She was shocked when she saw Nick Cage’s face as she closed the door.
“Ah!” Frightened, Veronica Parker took a step back, her butt was held up by the kitchen counter. “Mr. Cage, what are you doing here? ”
“What are you looking for?”
“I’m not looking for anything. I just think that the freezer is a little empty. It’s just strange. The coffee is almost ready. I’ll pour it for you now! ” She felt great pressure because Nick Cage was silently looking at her. She felt very nervous that was why she immediately went to pour the coffee for Nick Cage.
Nick Cage behind was giving her a sense of danger.
It was like being in an isolated and helpless forest where she would never know what kind of beast would attack her.
Veronica Parker opened the refrigerator, took out an ice cube, and places the small piece in his cup.
Veronica Parker was about to turn around when he reached put and rubbed the back of her white hand.
Veronica Parker’s back stiffened, Nick Cage was positioned behind her. He was holding a cup of coffee while standing behind her. Her back was so close to his chest that she could feel the heat radiating from him.
Nick Cage stood behind her while drinking coffee as if nothing happened. He was acting as if it was just a casual thing.
He took a sip and said, “You seem afraid of me? Where is the courage I have seen before? ”
“No! I have always been in awe of Mr. Cage! ” Veronica Parker’s body was taut.
She tried to escape by shifting to the other side.
“You’d better not move.” The voice of Nick Cage intimidated her.
Veronica Parker’s body froze and she dared not to move.
Nick Cage’s body leaned forward slightly his one hand was pressing on the side of the kitchen table. His figure emitted a strong aura and Veronica Parker’s slender body was a strong contrast.
His voice was as low and she could feel his hot breath on her delicate skin. “Tell me, how are you in awe?”
Veronica Parker’s face was flushed badly, how could she be in awe? How would she know? She had a lot of thoughts in her mind at that moment.
“Mr. Cage, I have to go to work. Can you let me go? ” Veronica Parker begged for mercy.
“Is it appropriate to say that to me?”
Veronica Parker bit her lip, she did not care whether it was appropriate or not!
“What were you thinking earlier in the conference room?”
Veronica Parker didn’t think he would ask this but she wouldn’t be able to tell him about it.
Veronica Parker’s mind was full of thoughts regarding her unknown and dangerous relationship with Nick Cage. She was very eager to ask him questions but she simply asked differently, “Mr. Cage, do you have a bad relationship with your family?”
