Chapter 46 Better Not To Shout Loudly
That afternoon, Nick was in the conference room as the man in charge of the KING Group. For Veronica, it was unfathomable that he was not angry at her.
Kay was an exquisite special assistant. She did not just pay careful attention to him, but she did not forget to observe his words and expressions at the same time.
"The meeting is over," Nick suddenly said as he got up and left.
The executives who were there couldn't say anything and they all panicked.
It was as if they were asking among themselves, 'Did we say something wrong?'
Veronica was also shocked. Today's meeting time seemed to be particularly short as it only took less than an hour. They used to hold meetings for at least a few hours.
The executives left the conference room in a panic. Kay took the papers, went to Veronica, and said, "Next time, just take a seat. You don't have to stand."
"Okay."
After Kay left, Veronica breathed a sigh of relief. The general meeting time used to be really long. She used to be able to move at the front desk, but now she can't. Unless she did something.
Tours special assistant still had a conscience.
She didn't have to stand anymore.
So when Kay, the secretary, asked her to make a cup of coffee and bring it to Nick's office, she didn't complain so much.
When she reached Nick's office to deliver the coffee, she saw Nick was talking to the executives about the company. She respectfully put the coffee to the table and came out.
When she turned around the corner, she was shocked to see Toby leaning against the wall. He was waiting with his arms around his chest.
Veronica panicked and asked, "Why are you here?"
"So, you really are working for KING Group?" Toby scanned her left chest and saw her badge. He then said, "Secretary Department."
Veronica replied, "What is it to you?" She then turned to leave.
Suddenly, Toby grabbed her by the wrist and pressed her against the wall.
"Ah! You. What are you doing? "
Toby hissed at her, "It's best not to shout too loudly, or others will know."
Veronica really didn't want anyone to know about her past relationship with Toby. So, she lowered her voice and told him, "Toby, what the hell are you doing? I have nothing to do with you anymore. So will you please leave me alone?"
"Why did you come to the KING Group? Is it because of me?"
Veronica couldn't believe it and annoyingly said, "Are you out of your mind? What do you mean for you? Who do you think you are?"
Toby just looked at her. She could see the handsome face of Toby that was so close to her face. He sighed, "Veronica."
Upon hearing this, Veronica was suddenly brought back to those memories of her being with Toby.
That was what Toby used to call her, 'Veronica.'
Gentle and affectionate. As if in his eyes, she was the only woman in the world.
Veronica thought so simply about it back then, until she found out that Toby was kissing another woman.
Upon remembering this, Veronica pushed him away with all her might.
Toby was slightly stunned. He looked at her, his eyes were flashed with sharp luster, and then he sneered. 'Did she just refuse me?'
He then hurriedly turned and left.
Meanwhile, Veronica suppressed the fluctuating emotions that welled up inside her. She didn't understand why Toby was here.
'What on earth was he here for?'
'We broke up already. Why would he go and see me again and again? Did he come to humiliate me?'
'I won't give him the chance.'
If only she wasn't worried about Nick finding out about her children, she would have put the little kids in front of him; one, two, three, four, five, six, and let him know how good she was.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang and she pulled it out immediately. The caller ID showed an unknown number.
She thought, 'Who could it be?'
She answered, "Hello?"
