“Ouch!” Veronica Parker frowned and cleared her throat. She felt sore and her voice was hoarse.
After she took a quick bath, she put on some clothes and went downstairs.
Nick Cage was still asleep at that time.
Veronica Parker went straight outside the door.
Bob had stopped her and he asked hurriedly, “Miss Parker, are you going to leave?”
Veronica Parker said, “Mister Cage allowed me to go out today.” She coughed to clear her sore throat.
“But I didn’t get a notice from Mister Cage,” Bob said.
“Why will I lie to you?”
“I’m sorry if I just let you go Miss Parker then Mr. Cage will get angry at me,” Bob felt very embarrassed. “Maybe you can wait until Mister Cage wakes up before you leave?”
“When will he wake up? I’m leaving now. It was not the time for him to go to work yet so he would probably wake up later. I do not want to wait until the afternoon,” Veronica Parker said feeling disgruntled.
“Miss Parker, even if I let you go, the bodyguards outside won’t let you go without Mister Cage’s approval,” Bob said.
Veronica Parker felt very depressed as she let out her anger in her thoughts, ‘Why can’t just Nick Cage tell them in advance that she was allowed to leave before he went back to his room last night?’
“Miss Parker, why don’t you have some breakfast first?”
” Can you get me some water to drink? I have a sore throat. ”
“Sure,” Bob turned and ordered a servant to get a glass of water.
Veronica Parker drank the water and until her throat was moistened. After a few gulps of the liquid, she started to feel much more comfortable.
She could not wait to go out of the Winter Villa, she cursed the sleeping man in her head, ‘Nick Cage was definitely a monster! He was a beast!’
Veronica Parker had finished eating breakfast and she sat on the sofa without much else to do but to watch the time passed by. She waited impatiently for Nick Cage to wake up.
Nick Cage won’t wake up until 09:30 am.
Did she really have to wait until 09:30 in the morning?
Her patience was slowly thinning. She could not wait that long.
Veronica Parker hesitated for a few minutes before she decided to go upstairs.
She crept into Nick Cage’s bedroom.
She saw that the man who was sleeping on the bed still felt dangerous. He was like a sleeping beast who was ready to fight back at any time.
Veronica Parker entered the door; she held her breath and stood by the foot of the bed. She looked at the man’s face. What should she do? He was always angry after he gets up. If she wakes him up without so much care she was afraid that Nick Cage would not let her get out of Winter Villa.
Veronica Parker wanted to make sure how soundly Nick Cage slept so he leaned closer to him and tried to slightly touch his face.
She thought about how people from the King Group would never have expected that the person in charge would not go to the company in the morning just to order sleep in until the afternoon.
That face, whether it was seen from a distance or up-close remained handsome. He got that modern face, his jaws were sharply chiseled and his sleeping face did not have a hint of being angry and arrogant.
Unfortunately, his character was too terrible.
Just as Veronica Parker was gazing at his face and slightly touching his cheeks. Nick Cage’s eyes flutter and it suddenly opened.
Veronica Parker froze in fear; she stared blankly into his sharp black eyes with her fingers still an inch close to his face. He quickly grabbed her wrist and they suddenly switched positions.
Veronica Parker was frightened and screaming, by the next second she fell on the bed, and the body of Nick Cage was on top of her as he enveloped her with his arms.
“Why are you touching my face?”
Veronica Parker’s head felt dizzy and she hurriedly explained, “I did not touch you because I wanted to. I just want to see if you would wake up.”
“Should we continue what happened last night?” Nick Cage squints his dark eyes, which made him look dangerous and intimidating.
“No, calm down! I just wanted to wake you up. I didn’t want to do anything else! I wanted to leave early that’s why I’m here to see if you are already awake!” she said hysterically, she wanted to remain calm but he was testing her patience. But of course, she must careful, after all, she was dealing with Nick Cage.
Nick Cage didn’t speak. His black eyes stared at her for a moment.
Veronica Parker’s body was still under Nick Cage’s arms, half of her body is pressing on her.
Why wouldn’t he move?
“Mister Cage.”
“Don’t wake me up again,” He said sternly.
Veronica Parker was speechless. She bit her lips when Nick Cage didn’t speak further. He turned his face and buried his head into the pillow.
Nick Cage seemed to have fallen asleep again.
Veronica Parker didn’t dare to provoke Nick Cage for fear that he would not be able to leave after provoking him. The loss outweighed the gain.
She just sat there waiting for Nick Cage to wake up but she must have been so tired the night before that accidentally put herself to sleep.
When she woke up there was no sign of Nick Cage on the bed. She did not know what the time was when she woke up.
Veronica Parker got out of bed.
Seeing that Nick Cage wasn’t in the room, she decided to go downstairs.
She saw that her bag was still lying on the sofa in the hall. She took out her cell phone and looked at it. It was already 10:30.
She can’t believe she slept for another three hours!
Behind her came the sound of footsteps, calm and steady, and every sound seemed to step on her fragile heart.
She didn’t need to look to know who’s there.
Veronica Parker looked back and the black figure made her pupils contract.
“Can I go now?” Veronica Parker asked.
Nick Cage glanced at her and went to the kitchen.
Veronica Parker followed, she saw that there was lunch served on the table.
She stood there, just looking at Nick Cage with no intention of sitting down.
It was only after Nick Cage’s intimidating stare that she sat down reluctantly.
“Did you mean what you said last night?” Veronica Parker asked while eating.
“Your performance is not that bad.”
Veronica Parker was speechless. All she really wants that time was to buckle his face with a bowl.
Veronica Parker went to the TV station in Nick Cage’s car. When they got out of the car, the extravagant Rolls-Royce left.
It was not easy but she finally got out of Winter Villa.
For her, there was nothing more terrible than that place.
She fastened her steps once she was at the TV station when suddenly she heard an angry voice.
“Veronica Parker! Don’t you dare come to the TV station again!”
Veronica Parker looked back and saw Rachel Hamilton coming towards her. When she was standing in front of her, Rachel Hamilton looks like she was about to lose her face.
“Why do you care so much about it?” Veronica Parker said then turned around and quickly went up the steps.
As soon as she went up the steps, she was stopped by Rachel Hamilton “Did I already let you go?”
“Why are you telling me to do things? I don’t seem to have anything to do with you, don’t I?”
“That doesn’t matter. You seduced my Nick. Didn’t you know that I’m his fiancee, you’re his mistress!” Rachel Hamilton curses her and people passing by looked at them curiously.
Veronica Parker looked at her and said calmly, “In fact, there is one thing I don’t understand. Why don’t women blamed themselves when they cheat on other women? I know you are his fiancee I would not dare to get him from you, alright? Just like last night, I popped up on purpose to let you find out that he took me in but there’s nothing I can do about it. Who’s to blame then? ”
“Veronica Parker, I’m not done with you!” Rachel Hamilton was so angry that she reached out and pushed Veronica Parker.
That push caused her to back out a few but she was able to stop herself from falling.
Rachel Hamilton didn’t expect that Veronica Parker would easily recover. Veronica Parker took the chance to push Rachel Hamilton.
“Ah!” Rachel Hamilton fell on the steps with a thug and rolled down the steps.
She rolled to the bottom of the steps before she came to a stop, Rachel Hamilton was moaning in pain, “Veronica Parker! How dare push me like this? You’re wicked.”
Veronica Parker found what Rachel Hamilton said to be very funny, ‘Isn’t she the one who does it first? She’s crazy. She had the audacity!’
Veronica Parker looked at her coldly, Rachel Hamilton was in a very bad mood.
As she walked on, she stepped on the back of Rachel Hamilton’s hand that caused Rachel Hamilton to scream, “How dare —”
“For God’s sake! Why can’t you all just leave me alone? You label yourselves as very important people but why can’t you just ignore me and move on with your lives? Nick Cage threatened me to be with him and I cannot go against him. Even I go against him I don’t know if I can take the repercussions.” Veronica Parker was so angry that she could not move her foot on the back of Rachel Hamilton’s hand.
“Veronica Parker, get off me! I won’t let you get away with this!” Rachel Hamilton tried to withdraw her hand but Veronica Parker stepped harder on her hand until she looked miserable and embarrassed.
“Why would a superstar like you have to deal with me? You can just go to Nick Cage directly. Maybe if you can make him dislike me then I will even be grateful to you,” Veronica Parker said before she let go of her hand.
