Veronica Parker seemed to feel uneasy in her sleep. Her body moved and her shoulders shrank into the quilt, showing only half her face, and then finally went back to sleep.
Veronica didn’t know how long she slept where she didn’t need to work, didn’t have to care about the kids, and just slept without stress.
The second time she woke up, she felt much better.
The main thing she realized was that there was not a bundled cuddle!
Veronica turned over and there was no Nick Cage around.
She slept soundly. She didn’t know when Nick got up. Had he left already?
She didn’t hear anything outside.
Veronica got up. Her waist seemed to be broken. It was not so unbearable to sleep until now.
Feeling naked, she turned out her clothes and put them on in the cupboard at the end of the bed.
After she put it on, she opened the door of the room.
As soon as she opened a seam, she saw the dark figure of Nick sitting on the sofa.
He didn’t leave? Why wasn’t he leaving?
While Veronica was thinking, Nick’s black eyes looked sharply over.
Veronica regained her senses and walked out of the room.
“Hey, when did you wake up? I didn’t even notice.” Veronica muttered and found Nick looking at her without saying a word.
This silent atmosphere brought her invisible pressure.
There was a dangerous abyss in his gaze.
Veronica was scared. What was wrong with this guy?
Rest was normal so he did not have to kick her in his anger.
Just as she was speculating, she heard Nick whisper, “Can your body take it?”
Veronica looked at him and didn’t know what he meant by asking. Thinking that the person in front of her was suspicious, she looked away and said, “I’m fine.”
“Let’s go out for dinner.” Nick put his long legs down and stood up, feeling energized.
“Oh,” Veronica responded with a slow half-beat.
She thought to herself, ‘According to the overbearing style of Nick, shouldn’t it just be delivered directly to the door? Or are we going out on purpose?’
But she did not think too much anymore as Nick Cage was too unfathomable so she could not think through.
But was there something to eat at this time? Anyway, she used to be shut down when she didn’t eat at the restaurant.
It was crazy to think that she was tossed around by Nick until three or four o’clock to eat!
Veronica followed Nick on the Rolls-Royce, and as soon as they left, Kay Tours took people into Veronica’s apartment-equipped with surveillance!
And Veronica had no idea.
She went to a big dinner with Nick, and the people inside waited early, as if they were facing an archenemy.
Delicious food was prepared in advance.
Sure enough, to be a powerful person was like owning a private plane. There was no reason for him to wait for a plane!
Veronica had enough to eat and drink, then she left with Nick.
In the car, Nick asked, “Where are you going?”
There was no point in going to the TV station at this time. She had to get off work in two hours.
“I’ll go back to the apartment.” Veronica said, “How about I take the subway back by myself? It’ll be fast.”
Nick stared at her with black eyes and examined her sharply.
Veronica looked out the window. She thought to herself, ‘If you want to send me, just do it! I can’t fight you anyway.’
The car drove into the neighborhood then stopped. Veronica looked at Nick. “I’m going down.”
She said goodbye, got out of the car and turned to the elevator.
The window fell slowly, revealing Nick’s sharp face. His sharp, deep black eyes stared at the slim figure farther and farther away until she was out of sight.
Nick still didn’t leave. He took out his phone and opened the monitoring software.
On it was surveillance equipment in Veronica’s apartment. There was only one in the living room, but he could see the whole living room.
No matter who came in, even if it was only a fly, he could see it clearly.
After waiting for about two or three minutes, the door was pushed open and Veronica appeared in the video.
She changed her shoes, walked to the sofa, threw her backpack, and sat down on the foam board.
She sat there while thinking.
Even her expression couldn’t escape the surveillance.
Veronica Parker was thinking that she should go to Tom Parker later. Didn’t he say that he would send wine to Nick Cage?
That was funny. Would Nick be short of alcohol?
But she couldn’t break Tom’s heart, could she?
She didn’t look at the monitor in the study last night.
Veronica took out her phone and looked through the automatically saved records.
In the video, Tom went to the study but didn’t do anything unusual.
He talked to Clare Parker for about half an hour. She couldn’t hear them, but she knew it was about the company.
The company had just opened and was already very busy.
Tom never showed up in the middle of the night.
She hadn’t seen that memory all the time.
It meant that Tom didn’t put the memory in the study.
Was it not for the time being, or had he been scared by Sarah North to change places?
Where would that be?
The cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting Veronica’s thoughts.
When she saw that it was Tom again, she just ignored it, threw her phone aside, and went to her room.
Halfway through, she didn’t know why, but Veronica felt cold when she stared at her back.
She looked around. What was wrong with it?
Veronica wondered why she had such an inexplicable reaction.
She didn’t think too much about it. She went back to her room to have a rest.
Nick turned off the video and told the driver, “Let’s go.”
Rolls-Royce just left the neighborhood.
Veronica didn’t go to Tom’s place until it was six o’clock.
Hearing her coming back, Tom was busy laying out the good wine like a treasure, and asked, “How’s it going? Isn’t this good wine? You may not know much about wine, but you can tell at a glance that this wine was for Nick! It took me a lot of work to get it. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it!”
“Really? Don’t you keep such good wine for yourself?”
“If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t be willing to share it. But it’s different with Nick.”
“If that’s the case, Nick will give you the southwest as soon as he sees the wine.”
“Veronica, it’s up to you this time!”
“No problem.” Veronica stared at the delicate box of wine and said, “I’m sure it can be done this time.”
Tom listened with anticipation, “If it happens, Dad will be very grateful to you!”
“How good is it?”
“Huh?” Tom was stupefied by her question. “Anyway, the car, the house, and the money are all fine. The shares will go up again to let you participate in the decision-making of the company!”
Veronica smiled happily on the surface, but her heart was cold.
Cars, houses, money? Are shares going up? She was sorry, but she wanted everything!
Veronica got up the next morning and saw no one else but Clare sitting on the sofa, kind of prepared.
“Veronica Parker.”
Veronica walked over without dodging, “What can I do for you?”
Clare raised her delicate face.
Veronica looked at it and thought, how early does it take for this face to be so beautiful? How lucky.
“All the people under Veronica Parker are busy with other things. I just had my nails done yesterday. I’m afraid I’ll get hurt. Can you get me a glass of water?”
“Sure!” Veronica immediately agreed, “Give me a minute.”
Clare looked at Veronica’s unburdened back and flashed a calculation in her eyes.
Veronica was only fit to do the work of servants at home.
The last time she asked Sarah to pour juice, Clare found out later.
It wasn’t long before Veronica came with a cup in her left hand and a pot in her right hand.
“Did you make the tea?” Clare asked. “All I need is clear water.”
Veronica sat down on the sofa and said, “I’ve added salt to the water. It’s good for the health to drink salted water on an empty stomach in the morning. Also, you are fit for a warm drink.”
