Chapter 683 I Am Just Busy
It was even more ridiculous this time. She hasn't admitted yet that she had already fallen in love with him! It was stillborn!
The phone rang again, and it was still Nick. If she wouldn't answer, she would probably appear on TV. At least she had to know that Nick's possessiveness would not change! The same with giving her gifts, and the same treatment that she would be special to him. But that was the way it was. Like. Not love.
Veronica thought that once people got over it, that was all. The end.
She picked up the phone and cleared her throat. She was trying not to cry nor sound hoarse before answering. Nick's low and domineering voice was heard as he asked, "What took you so long to answer the phone?"
"I left my cell phone in the office. I'm very busy." Veronica sounded casual.
"How long will it take?"
Veronica recognized what he meant and said, "I'm staying at my dad's place tonight."
Nick was already on his way to the TV station. He was sitting in the back seat while his cell phone was right next to his ear and his eyebrow was slightly twisted like a thick ink. He asked, "What's the matter? Are you alright?"
"Well, a little bit."
"Are you staying there all night or are you coming home?"
Before Veronica could answer, she thought that the "work" was done.
"I used to live there. What's so strange about that? And I've been staying recently in Winter Villa for too long that I rarely lived at my dad's place. Is there anything wrong with that? I'm just busy, that's all."
She hangs up the phone without waiting for Nick to answer her.
After hanging up, Veronica thought whether her reaction was normal? She knew that she was on the run! On second thought, was it all right? After all, she had hung up on Nick like this before.
Nick took his cell phone and his black eyes went deep. Leo sat in the driver's seat in the station's underground parking lot in a white Rolls-Royce. Then he saw the black car driving into the parking lot in the rearview mirror! He hurriedly pushed the door open and got out of the car.
The back door also opened. Nick was lazily sitting while his long legs overlapped. The aura of his whole body was daunting!
"What happened today?" Nick Cage asked.
Leo was stupefied by the question and answered, "At noon, Miss Parker went to the hospital and met Mr. Parker's son, Elton Parker. Elton was driving his car into Miss Parker and Mr. Parker, but he was scared and didn't really hit him. Mr. Parker fell on his own and suffered a slight injury to his arm. Miss Parker, on the other hand, is totally fine."
"Why didn't you say it?" Nick's face turned cold in an instant. Leo bowed his head and dared not to retort. His mind at that time was focused on the idea that Miss Parker was fine, so there should be no need to say anything else.
"Be smart next time!" Nick was intimidating.
"Yes, sir!" Leo's legs were weak with fear.
Veronica in the office was talking to Lucy about the cute kids she would be interviewing tomorrow.
"Miss Parker, this is a dragon and Phoenix fetus. I don't know if it is as bearable as in the picture." Lucy said. "But I still think the sextuplets who came here before are tolerable! They all look like a little penguin, I want to squeeze their faces."
Just as she was kneading her face to fantasize, the afterglow in the corner of her eye reflected into the dark shadow and made her turn her face. When she saw who was coming in, she immediately stood upright like a tree trunk.
She stooped down in a hurry and bowed her head. She held her breath and left then closed the door by the way!
Veronica wasn't surprised to see Nick coming in, but she noticed that his fingers holding the document tightened.
After she hung up the phone, she guessed that there were two possibilities: nothing more than coming or not. Looking at the sudden appearance of Nick and the words she heard a few hours ago, she only felt that the person in front of her was ruthless.
