Lucy Underwood asked, “Did Veronica didn’t sleep well last night?”
Veronica Parker thought of the fact that she left the TV station with Nick yesterday. It was really open.
Oddly enough, she didn’t find anything wrong when she came to the TV station.
Even the colleagues in the department are the same as usual.
Veronica raised her right hand, palms outward, covering her mouth, and asked, “Have there been any fluctuations in the channel since I left yesterday?”
“Fluctuation? You mean Mr. Cage came to you? Fortunately, it doesn’t fluctuate much.”
Veronica said she looked at her miraculously.
Lucy said, “Is this an open secret?”
“Didn’t anyone said anything?”
“There is. There are a few people who talked awkwardly, Veronica, don’t pay any attention to them! That’s just their greed! Besides, the person in charge of the KING Group, the king of capital, who dares to gossip behind his back! Unless you don’t want to stay in the capital!”
Lucy can guess what nasty things Veronica has said without saying it.
Nothing more than sour words being kept from Nick, very brave behind his back, but a pair of scared pussy on the surface!
Veronica certainly doesn’t care.
“Ms. Parker are you in love with Mr. Cage?” Lucy asked. Although she never asks about Veronica’s private affairs, she can see it with her eyes. She sees it every day!
Fall in love with Nick? Is it new?
Veronica glared at her. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
However, the corners of her mouth could not help raising.
“I was busy all morning, but I didn’t have time to rest until noon.”
She turned on the computer and looked at the storm that had been suppressed on the Internet, thinking that Tom Parker was really fast!
Apart from him holding down, who else would be nervous about such a thing!
What does Veronica think of? Turning on the monitoring software in her phone and start watching it last night.
After all, she posted that comment on the Internet last night.
In the video, it looks like past one o’clock in the morning. First, Tom enters the study and walks around. His anger can be felt across the screen.
After a while, someone came in. It was Sarah North.
As soon as she gets in, Tom comes forward and slaps her in the face! Sarah, who was caught off guard, fell to the ground.
Then, Tom grabbed Sarah’s hair and smashed it on the desk, and kicked Sarah in the stomach! Every hit is so ruthless!
Veronica shook his hand and threw his cell phone on the table like a hot potato, pale and with shortness of breath.
Veronica busily covered her chest and closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down!
She doesn’t want to have an asthma attack here!
Reassuring herself over and over again that it’s all right. Tom’s not hitting me, he’s not hitting me.
Veronica simply stood up and walked around the office, physical activities will always distract some of her emotions.
Of course, she knew that Tom was not hitting her, but the picture was so familiar that it was the shadow of her childhood!
Once again, fear is inevitable.
Veronica put her hand on the back of the chair and scratched her fingertips, staring at the closed phone on the table.
She should have gotten over that a long time ago, didn’t she?
The shadow that has haunted her for so many years should no longer affect her!
Isn’t it true that she went to deal with Tom herself to avenge Isabella on the one hand and heal herself on the other?
Veronica, don’t be afraid, there’s nothing to be afraid of! You are an adult now, not an irresistible minor!
And this is just a video, what are you afraid of?
Veronica relaxed by holding her fingers on the back of the chair, and her trembling hand approached the phone
And the door was pushed open
Veronica Parker drew back in horror.
As if the mobile phone was something terrible like it was going to attack her.
Nick Cage looked at Veronica’s pale face, black eyes, and her body could not help but tighten. He walked into the office, slammed the door, and headed straight to Veronica.
Veronica looked blankly at the approaching man and stood still in front of her, her voice trembling, “You, What are you doing here?”
Nick glanced at the phone on the table and reached for it.
In the video, Tom is still hitting people and hasn’t stopped.
Veronica doesn’t know how her brain works at the moment. Explain the video. Or when nothing is happening, grab the phone and hide it.
“Do you want to see it?” A low voice sounded.
Veronica’s mind came back, “What?” She was surprised that Nick would ask that.
Does she want to keep watching?
Yes, she wanted to see it before Nick came in, but now.
Veronica bit her lip uneasily and looked at it in front of Nick.
With Nick around, wouldn’t she be so scared?
If she doesn’t look at it now, will she dare to see it later? She’s afraid she doesn’t have any courage at all.
“No, I’ll delete it for you.”
“No, I want to see it,” Veronica spoke uneasily.
She was about to reach for the phone in Nick’s hand, but her wrist tightened.
Nick’s long legs hooked off the seat, sat down, pulled Veronica over, and fell on him, his strong, broad chest bumped against Veronica’s slender back, and her thin lips rubbing his sensitive ears. “I’ll watch with you.”
Veronica was shocked. She didn’t think Nick would accompany her to watch such a video. She thought she will watch it alone.
“It’s open.” After Nick’s low voice falls, he reopened the video and looked at it from the beginning.
Veronica’s body was tensed.
Her subtle reaction, in front of Nick, felt for the first time.
Veronica stares at the phone video, Nick stares at her.
In the video, Tom throws Sarah to the ground with a kick. Even if you can’t hear the sound, you can imagine the scream of Sarah.
Then Tom almost got kicked, grabbed Sarah’s hair again, and slapped her in the face.
In the camera, there is blood coming out from the corners of Sarah’s mouth.
Everyone was bewildered, but Tom still didn’t stop and beat Sarah on the sofa again.
Veronica is short of breath and wants to close her eyes, but how can she overcome her fear?
Her whole body was shaking.
Nick’s palms wrapped around her hands, and his low, hoarse voice sounded, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
The compactness and warmth of his palms spread, dispelling the chill in Veronica’s hands. Because of Nick’s opening, Veronica’s attention was focused, but she also found the tension of his chest muscles behind her.
Did he got touched too? Is it because of his mother? I don’t think so, right? She didn’t hear that Kevin Cage beat his wife.
Veronica’s whole body was trapped in Nick’s chest wrapped around it.
He was there, she would not be afraid of anything.
Raised her eyes again to watch the video, Veronica’s inner fear is not so serious.
The violence in the video lasted nearly 20 minutes before it stopped, while Sarah lay motionless on the ground from begging for mercy at first.
The video was turned off and deleted by Nick, and the phone is placed on the table.
Let go of Veronica and face her.
Veronica was dodged by his gaze, her face just dropped, her chin tightened, forced to lift, and crashed again into Nick’s fathomless black eyes.
“No one can hurt you in the future, that’s what I said.”
