Veronica Parker had no place to eat at noon, and in order to save money, she bought a bottle of mineral water and a piece of bread, so she went to the street park to sit on the bench and nibbled.
When the cell phone rings, Veronica was most looking forward to the interview phone from a certain company. As soon as she looked at the familiar number, she silently put the phone aside.
But the cell phone kept ringing and almost got broken. It kept ringing.
Veronica answered, “What on earth are you doing?”
“Where are you?”
“On earth.”
Toby Cage. “I’ll meet you at Sunshine’s apartment.”
“No!” Veronica refused hurriedly, for fear that he would really go to the Sunshine apartment of her family to look for her. “I’m in the middle of the street park.”
Veronica had not finished eating the bread in her hand when Toby came and sat down by her side. “Is that all?”
Veronica Parker didn’t answer the question, “What do you want with me?”
“Get the clothes.”
Veronica Parker chewed slowly and came to ask for clothes.
“You threw it away.” Toby turned slightly sideways, his black eyes staring at her.
Staring at Veronica all over, “Of course not! They are in my house.”
Toby spent two years with her. Veronica couldn’t lie well. He could tell at a glance. Without debunking her, he snatched the bread from her hand and threw it into the dustbin two meters away.
Veronica froze and then roared, “Toby, what are you doing?”
“Why, didn’t Chloe give you money to make you poor enough to eat bread and drink mineral water?” Toby leaned back in his seat and looked at her calmly.
“Does it have anything to do with you?” Veronica thought the man was so funny that she stood up and was ready to leave.
Toby also got up and said, “Come to dinner with me.”
“Why should I have dinner with you? I don’t think there will be any shortage of women around you!”
“I have no one to eat with.”
“It’s none of my business.” Veronica turned around and left.
Toby slurped. “What a rude thing to say.” With that, he put his hand around her neck.
“Ah!” Veronica, who was walking well, was suddenly locked in her throat from behind and dragged along, her face flushed with anger. “Toby, let me go!”
“Let’s eat.”
“I’m not eating!”
“Then I’ll keep dragging you like this.”
In the high-end restaurant, Veronica sat face to face with Toby in the window seat.
She was still forced to come with him.
Toby took the menu to order, and the waiter next to him waited with a smile as if he was particularly patient in the face of a handsome guy.
She didn’t know what Toby ordered, as it was always ‘this’, and the waiter wrote it down.
After the waiter left, he looked at her silently, one hand on the table, and his index finger seemed to tap meaninglessly.
Veronica turned straight away and looked out at the street.
She really couldn’t figure out what kind of tricks Toby was playing when she returned home.
When the food came, Veronica was even more surprised when she saw that most of the dishes served were her favorite foods.
“Toby, you don’t want to get back together with me, do you?” Veronica asked tentatively.
Toby was stunned and looked at her deeply. “Are you overthinking this?”
“Am I overthinking? Many of the dishes you ordered are what I like to eat. That’s how you used to order when we were together.” Veronica said.
“You remember things so clearly that you can’t seem to forget me.” Toby raised his eyebrows and said jokingly.
Veronica resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
“Have you ever heard the words, ‘The more you love, the more you hate.’ If you really don’t care, how can you be so angry when you see me? So, for your innocence, have a better mindset and just eat.”
Veronica Parker gritted her teeth angrily. She didn’t want to see him because she cared too much. What kind of reasoning was this man talking about?
“I won’t eat. You eat.” Veronica said stubbornly.
“Are you sure you don’t want to eat?” Toby picked up a juicy steak and asked.
Veronica didn’t even bother to speak. She turned her head and continued to look at the street view outside.
Yes, she was really attracted by the delicious food as she was hungry, not to mention they were her favorite food.
However, the injustice between her and Toby was so deep that she would not eat even if she starved to death.
During their two years together, Toby was very kind to her, gentle, doting, and no one in a foreign country would bully her. Even if he had dinner in the morning, he sent one downstairs of the dormitory every day for two years.
But how could someone so nice to her betray her? She still didn’t understand, and later it was rumored that there was more than one woman in Toby’s life.
She went to ask, but saw Toby kissing another woman, so by the sight of her, she simply said that they break up, saying he was just playing with her.
There was nothing more ridiculous than this. It was not betrayal, but stepping on a few boats, so why did she not drown him!
When her cell phone rang, Veronica took it out and saw that it was a strange number. She answered, “Hello?”
“I’m from SK TV. Is this Veronica Parker?”
Veronica was surprised. SK? Wasn’t that the station where she was fired? “It’s me. What can I do for you?”
“Well, there may be some misunderstandings before. Is it convenient for you to come to the TV station for a new interview?” The other party asked.
“Oh. OK, when shall I go? ” Veronica was flattered.
“If you are not free in the afternoon, you can come tomorrow.”
“I’m fine. I can be there in the afternoon.”
“All right.”
After the phone hung up, Veronica was surprised that SK fired her because Lisa was worried that she would tell the story of the interview where she had seduced Nick the other day.
According to reason, she won’t look for her again. It had been so long.
Besides, in the current situation, hadn’t SK received any news? Were they daring to hire her? Were they not afraid to offend the KING Group?
Whatever! There were always people who were not afraid of death, weren’t there? She took it as a bargain.
“I have something to do. I’ll go first.” Veronica stood up and left, clutching her wrist from Toby. “What are you doing? I have something to do!”
“There’s no hurry. Eat before you go.” Toby finished, looked up, and looked at her steadily.
Veronica couldn’t give up such an opportunity. She couldn’t lose her hard-won job because of Toby’s trouble.
She sat down angrily. “Will you let me go after I eat?”
“Mm-hmm.” Toby made a gentleman’s gesture of invitation.
Veronica picked up her chopsticks and began to eat, stuffing her head as if Toby didn’t exist.
Instead, Toby stopped eating, drank tea with a cup on the other hand, and watched her eat.
Veronica ate about the same. As soon as she put the chopsticks, he didn’t bother to say anything, so she just slapped her ass and left.
Toby didn’t stop her this time.
Within the KING Group.
Josephine was making coffee in the pantry, and when it was finished, she was sighing.
The coffee was delivered to Mr. Cage’s office at the appointed time, but special assistant Tours hadn’t come back yet. What should she do? She was now really afraid of entering Mr. Cage’s office, and the low pressure had been going on.
“Are you ready?” Special assistant Tours appeared.
It was as if Josephine saw a lifesaver, “Special assistant rounds!”
“I’ll take it.”
“Good.”
Kay Tours knocked on the door, got an answer, and went into the office.
Nick Cage was facing the document in front of him, deep and arrogant.
Kay put the coffee gently on his desk and didn’t leave. “SK hired Veronica Parker, the same station that interviewed Mr. Cage at the clubhouse,” he hesitated.
