Even just appearing in front of Nick Cage was already an act of suicide.
Veronica Parker was led into the room.
Inside the room of Tom Parker’s family were several unfamiliar men and women.
The man who was sitting in the most corner leaned lazily, his coat was open, his shirt was buttoned to the top, and his tie was neat. The wine glass in his hand was still full and untouched. He looked like an inconspicuous existence but he looked handsome, especially the look in his eyes with a sense of harshness.
Veronica Parker stared for a few seconds and then looked away.
“Veronica, come on!” Tom Parker greeted her warmly and introduced her to the audience, “This is my daughter, Veronica Parker. Now that she is working as an anchor at SK TV under the KING Group, and have a very close relationship with Mr. Cage, the person in charge of the KING Group, I can come to the city because of my daughter. ”
Unfamiliar men and women immediately flatter Veronica Parker. “What a beautiful woman! You can do it!” the flattery came everywhere. Veronica Parker thought that it was awesome and that she cannot change her face.
It did not matter if Tom Parker acted as a bridge.
Anyway, she knew it before she got here.
“Come and sit next to Dad.” Tom Parker said as he went to pull Veronica Parker’s arm.
Veronica Parker turned him down quietly. “I’d better sit here,” she said as she sat down next to Clare Parker.
Tom Parker was embarrassed but still smiled, “Okay, sisters should sit together!”
The others immediately agreed, “Yes, it means a good relationship!”
Witt came over and asked, “What can I get you to drink?”
“Anything but wine,” Veronica Parker answered.
Tom Parker said, “Veronica, have a drink! Find something with low alcohol content. ”
“My gums are a little inflamed and I drank cephalosporin.” Veronica Parker made up excuses.
Others understood and did not force her to do so.
Witt went to bring her a fresh drink.
Veronica Parker took a sip and it really did not smell like alcohol at all.
Sarah North looked at Veronica Parker contemptuously. She really wanted to add wine to the drink and let her drink to death.
“Miss Parker, can I propose a toast to you? If I drink, can you help yourself?” A man came to make a toast, obviously trying to curry favor.
“Forget it! You are all my father’s friends. It does not matter whether you drink or not. I don’t have that much to do anyway.” Veronica Parker refused.
“That’s fine then.” The rejected man was not unhappy and sat down.
Another man flattered, “Mr. Parker’s children are all dragons and phoenixes among people!”
“No matter what,” Tom Parker clinked glasses with them and said, “Let’s have a drink!”
It was not long before, Elton Parker went out.
The man sitting in the corner stood up and left the room.
Veronica Parker drank a little too much so she got up and said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
When she got outside, she thought, she might as well just leave.
Anyway, Tom Parker’s goal was already achieved.
Veronica Parker went out next to the bathroom and saw that there was a back alley over there. She wanted to go there for a breeze.
As soon as she got to the door, she heard someone arguing outside.
“Saxon Raglan, you’re just a dog in my family and you dared to bark in front of me?”
Obviously, she had not come out of the blacklist yet!’
“How can this work? You are the protagonist. How boring can it be if you will not go?”
The director pulled Veronica Parker aside and asked, “Is there any place you can’t go to?”
Veronica Parker touched her nose. There was something in it.
“Can I make a phone call?” Veronica Parker asked.
“All right, go ahead!” The director walked aside.
Veronica Parker really did not want to spoil their fun and go to a designated bar, it was so expensive but it was at the director’s own expense!
But would Nick Cage take her call? She could only try.
She got on the phone and called Nick Cage.
Unexpectedly, it was connected several times, but the other party did not speak.
Surprised at the slow beat, Veronica Parker hurriedly said, “The TV station is going to the bar to celebrate and I was stopped outside. Can I go with them? I do not want to spoil their fun. Besides, I rarely go out anyway, do I?”
“Are you going?”
“No. I am not.” When Veronica Parker finished, the other party lost his voice. “Hello? Hello!”
Veronica Parker held her phone in front of her eyes and looked at it. Nick Cage hung up the phone! She was so angry that she bit her lip.
So, her words had offended him again!
An unpredictable man indeed! Did she have to say first that she was living in Winter Villa to be able to talk about it?
“What about you, Veronica Parker?”
“Sorry Director, I can’t.”
Veronica Parker leaned out a little and saw Elton Parker swore. It was the unknown man, who was sitting in the corner of the room a while ago, who got scolded.
Saxon Raglan had patience. Even if he got scolded by others, he had always been patient. After all, the situation was not determined by people.
“I’ve always overseen the Z city project, Elton. Could you let me transfer it after I finish it?” Saxon Raglan talked to him.
“Saxon Raglan, what are you doing? If you want to do it, then do it, or get out of here!” With that, Elton Parker turned and walked through the door.
Veronica Parker stood in front of the bathroom and washed her hands then went back to the room.
As soon as he entered the room, Tom Parker hurried over, “Here comes Veronica, Mr. Cage!” I have got the location of the room. Let us go and say hello.”
Veronica Parker was shocked. On the other hand, Nick Cage would normally come here to hide his emotions. It was not needed to say that it was Nick Cage’s territory. He had overseen this place long before. She did not know if he had the power that made the ghosts go away, or whether this bar had already become his.
Anyway, Veronica Parker did not want Nick Cage to meet Tom Parker.
Obviously, Tom Parker would not waste the opportunity to find such a good sense of existence!
“What are you doing in a daze? Go!” Tom Parker greeted the rest of the room and pulled Veronica Parker out of the room.
Outside, Veronica Parker regained consciousness and realized that Tom Parker was holding her arm. She immediately withdrew her hand as if she had been scalded. She could not be painted and her breath suddenly became short.
The memory of being beaten by the same body still seemed to be there and it was an uncontrollable fear!
“What’s wrong with you?” Tom Parker saw that her face did not look right and asked.
“Are you really going to go there like this?” Veronica Parker asked him.
“What do you mean?”
“How do you know if Nick Cage wants to see you?”
“It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t want to see me. I just want to see him.” Tom Parker was not worried at all.
“Just because you want to see him doesn’t mean he wants to see you. What would you do if you appear in front of him so rashly and affect his mood? He is still thinking about that piece of land in the southwest, so do not waste all your previous efforts!” Veronica Parker stated matter-of-factly.
“What do you mean?” Tom Parker asked.
Veronica Parker thought carefully for a few seconds and said, “You go and get a bottle of wine. I will go into the room and give it to him then I will mention that it is from you. As soon as he is in a good mood, he may let you go to the room.”
Tom Parker thought she had a point. “Veronica, you’re still smart!”
“Dad, go get the wine now!” Veronica Parker reminded, “Don’t be too harsh.”
“Don’t worry, I still know this. After all, Nick Cage is not an ordinary person. He won’t touch ordinary wine.” Tom Parker went to get the wine with all his strength.
Veronica Parker stood there waiting.
How could she let Tom Parker go with her to see Nick Cage?
Nick Cage was still angry. If Tom Parker sensed anything, he would not believe her in the future!
How could that be? She had to stop Tom Parker! Instead of putting the initiative on Tom Parker’s family!
It was not long before Tom Parker came with the wine in his arms, holding it with both hands, indicating how valuable it was.
“This wine is the most expensive in the bar!” Tom Parker said.
“There are plenty of such wines in Nick Cage’s wine cellar.” Veronica Parker said unabashedly.
“You mean Winter Villa has a wine cellar?”
“I remember there are several bottles of treasured editions which are worth tens of millions of dollars.” Veronica Parker recalled.
“Really?”
“It’s a pity that I dropped it and wasn’t able to get a sip.”
Tom Parker was speechless, and he sniffed at the corner of his mouth.
Veronica Parker took the wine from Tom Parker’s hand, looked at it, and said, “You don’t have to go over there. I can do it by myself.”
“I’ll take you there. You don’t know where it is.”
“How could I not know where it is? I used to come there with him a lot.” Veronica Parker said so on purpose. She turned around and then left.
Of course, it was not true.
But it was easy to find.
Veronica Parker found the location of Nick Cage’s room without much effort.
The black bodyguard standing upright at the door of the room was well trained and strangers were not allowed to enter.
Veronica Parker sensed that Tom Parker, who was behind him, was relieved to watch her enter the room.
Now Veronica Parker could not guarantee it.
What if the bodyguard would not let her in?
