Chapter 750 Here Comes Veronica (113)
"Mr. Hersey, you may rest assured. Since I have promised you, I will help you to the end. We are friends, aren't we?"
lan nodded. "Yes, we are friends, but I don't know your phone number yet."
Veronica took over lan's phone. She input her phone number and her name on it. Then, she called her number with lan's phone. After the phone was connected, Veronica waved the phone in her hand and said with a smile, "Is it okay?"
lan looked at Veronica's name carefully. "Your name is beautiful."
"Thank you."
lan looked embarrassed. "It's too long to remember."
Veronica felt sorry and wanted to take lan's phone again. "How about I change it to my family name only? It will be easier."
lan insisted, "No need. I can do it, Vera."
Veronica touched her forehead and explained to lan, "I am Veronica."
"Varon?"
Veronica was defeated by lan. However, when she saw lan trying his best to remember her name, she was amused. "Alright, just call me Ms. Luke."
She didn't want to be called Varon.
lan was discouraged. "Alright, Ms. Luke."
Veronica smiled and patted lan's shoulder. "Don't feel frustrated. After all, you are a foreigner."
lan looked at Veronica's beautiful face and couldn't help but fix his eyes on her.
He hadn't noticed Veronica was beautiful. Her eyes were bright and charming.
Veronica realized lan was staring at her. She touched her face and said, "Mr. Hersey, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"You are beautiful," Ian said frankly.
Veronica blushed with embarrassment.
"Mr. Hersey, you are handsome," Veronica said.
"Aren't you afraid your boyfriend will be jealous?" lan looked at Veronica's beautiful face with a smile.
Veronica blinked solemnly. "What did I say just now?"
lan was amused. Then, lan said something else, and Veronica fell about laughing.
The scene was seen by Raymond, who had just arrived at the hall.
Raymond walked up to Veronica.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Veronica, who was laughing and talking, felt the coldness behind her. It was so cold that she trembled all over. She stopped talking and turned around. Then, she saw Raymond. Raymond was gloomy and seemed to be angry.
"You have scared me. Why are you here and do not speak?" Veronica was shocked.
lan looked Raymond up and down, and Raymond also looked at him. The two men were about the same height and equally distinguished. They looked calm. However, they were competing secretly. lan smiled at Veronica. "Ms. Luke, is he your boyfriend?"
lan arrived in Peace City two days before. He should not know Raymond, so Veronica introduced Raymond to him. "Yes."
Raymond looked at Iran calmly and meaningfully. Then, he said in a deep voice, "You must be Mr. Hersey."
"Mr. Cordova, you are intelligent. I am lan," Ian replied with a smile.
Judging from lan's tone, Veronica knew that he knew Raymond. Otherwise, he wouldn't call Raymond "Mr. Cordova".
"Mr. Hersey, you are also intelligent. You recognized me at once." Raymond narrowed his eyes.
lan explained with a smile, "I am also
a businessman. Before I came to Peace City, I had information about the leading enterprises in Peace City, including the Cordova Group I saw your photo, so I recognized you."
Raymond lowered his head and chuckled.
"Mr. Hersey, me too. Before you came to Peace City, I had heard of you."
"Well? What a coincidence!" lan said generously, "Mr. Cordova, we have met for the first time, and Ms. Luke has helped me. Why don't we have dinner together?"
Raymond replied with a smile, "Of course, it's my treat."
"Alright."
Veronica was puzzled and wondered what was going on.
Raymond, Veronica, and lan decided to have dinner in a private room in the hotel. Raymond spoke Italian well. He talked with lan about how to manage a project. Veronica was an outsider and knew nothing about what they were talking about.
Therefore, when Raymond and lan talked happily, she kept eating.
Veronica found the food in the hotel delicious.
Raymond and Han kept talking about things Veronica could not
understand for a long time. They drank as they talked, and Veronica was full after having half of the
dishes. However, Raymond and lan
had no intention of stopping.
Veronica looked at them and felt bored.
Raymond and lan ignored her and continued to talk about the topics they were interested in. Finally, Veronica was sleepy.
She was tired after working for a
day. Because of the press
conference, she got up early in the morning to prepare and did not sleep well the night before.
Therefore, she was exhausted.
When she listened to the boring talk,
she rested her chin on her hands
and closed her eyes.
After Veronica fell asleep, the talk did not stop, but she could not hear it at all.
Raymond and lan had been chatting happily. Not long after Veronica fell asleep, they stopped talking and fixed their eyes on Veronica's face. However, Veronica didn't know that.
lan looked at Veronica and said, "Ms. Luke is beautiful and kind. She is a good girl."
"Do you want to take advantage of her kindness?" Raymond sneered.
lan smiled elegantly and said, "Mr. Cordova, you seem to have misunderstood me. Ms. Luke and I met by chance. I helped her, and she helped me in return."
Raymond snorted, "Mr. Hersey, if things are so simple, why did you arrive at Peace City five days earlier than the agreed date of the visit?"
