A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 661 Here Comes Veronica (24)



Hearing that Veronica cleared her relationship with him so eagerly, Raymond was infuriated again.

He thought, 'Does she want to be with those men outside more than with me?'

Because of the anger in his heart, Raymond looked extremely cold. The temperature in the lounge seemed to have decreased a lot because of the coldness on Raymond.

The room was originally filled with cold air. Veronica shivered. She rubbed her arms and rubbed off a layer of goosebumps.

Feeling a cold gaze at her from above, Veronica was so nervous that she didn't dare to look up at Raymond's face.

She wondered, 'What's wrong with him today? Why is he so hard on me?

Is he angry because ... I did not clean up in the villa tonight but came here to do part-time work?

That must be the reason.'

Shermie, at the same time, saw all the reactions of her brother.

Raymond was the chairman of the Cordova Group. First, he had excellent abilities. Besides, Raymond was extremely self-controlled. His emotions had always been reserved, and he could fool people easily and calmly.

However, in front of Veronica, Raymond was like an inexperienced young boy. He lost his self-control, and his emotions weren't reserved anymore.

Shermie even suspected that someone had taken her brother to undergo an operation and changed his brain.

And the person who caused Raymond to become like this was the girl in front of Shermie.

Shermie examined Veronica carefully. "Miss, have we met before?"

Veronica looked at Shermie, feeling inferior.

Veronica certainly knew Shermie.

"I'm a student in the Foreign Language Department at University A, and I'm in the Student Union. We once had a meeting in an office."

Hearing that, Shermie was suddenly reminded of who Veronica was.

"I remember you. You are Veronica Luke, the foreign language competition champion in the fourth year." Shermie looked at Veronica with her eyes shining.

Veronica didn't expect Shermie to know her. It surprised her.

Veronica looked at Shermie shyly. "Yeah. Nice to meet you, Ms. Cordova."

Shermie shook her head and was excited.

"I've seen the debate between you and the exchange student from Italy in Italian. I've always wanted to get to know you. I didn't expect that we would actually get to know each other here. What a coincidence.' Veronica was even shyer.

"I didn't expect you to have seen my debate. In fact, I was a little out of control during that debate. I didn't perform very well."

Because the Italian student at that time insulted University A, Veronica fiercely reprimanded the student in Italian. Stella said she thought Veronica would go out of control and hit the Italian student.

Of course, the Italian student who was prejudiced against University A apologized to Veronica and University A later. Moreover, because of that, Veronica became good friends with the student.

Shermie said, "No, you performed very well. I really admired you. At that time, you severely criticized that student for our school. You were amazing. By the way, I know you are my age. I was born in October. What about you?"

"I was born in June."

"So, you are a little older. Veronica, nice to meet you." Shermie warmly extended her hand toward Veronica.

"Well, you too." Veronica shook hands with Shermie.

"By the way, how did you know my brother?" Shermie asked Veronica curiously.

Raymond, who was left out by Veronica and Shermie, interjected coldly, "She tried to blackmail me on the street. I broke my arm and got a cast because of her. She owes me the medical fees, so now she is working as a maid in my villa to pay off the money."

Veronica smiled awkwardly at Shermie.

"It's like what Mr. Cordova said."

Shermie didn't know what to say.

Veronica struggled to stand up. "Mr. Cordova, Ms. Cordova, thank you for just now."

As she spoke, Veronica walked toward the door of the lounge.

Raymond grabbed Veronica's wrist and frowned, shouting in a low voice, "Where do you want to go?"

Raymond thought, 'Did this woman not hear what the doctor just said? She needs to have a good rest, but she stood up again.'

"I'm here to be a waitress today. My work is not over yet. If the team leader finds out that I'm not here, my salary will be deducted."

Raymond thought, 'It's because of money again. This woman really can do anything for money.'

"You have sprained your ankle. If you don't want to become a cripple in the future, stay here and don't go anywhere!"

Raymond's commanding tone made Veronica extremely uncomfortable.

She angrily glared at Raymond. "I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth like you. I need to worry about my life. If I break the contract, I can't afford the cost. I have to go out and continue my work." Veronica flung Raymond's hand away from her wrist.

Before Raymond got angry again, Shermie held back his shoulder in time and then blocked Veronica.

Shermie said gently, "Veronica, your foot doesn't allow you to go out again. The owner of this manor is not an unreasonable person. It is indeed inappropriate for you to work when you are injured. I will go to the person in charge and tell him about your situation. Then, you will get the salary for the work you have done just now. What do you think?"

Shermie's words soothed all the discomfort in Veronica.

Veronica immediately waved her hand. "As long as they don't hold me accountable for breaking the contract, I don't need the salary."

Shermie said with a smile, "I'll go find the person in charge here. Raymond, you stay here with Veronica."

"Thank you, Ms. Cordova." Veronica looked at Shermie gratefully.

She felt that Shermie was as kind as an angel.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After Shermie left, Veronica glanced at the man in the lounge, who looked gloomy.

She wondered, 'They are brother and sister. But why are their temperaments so different?'

Later, the person in charge came to Veronica. Not only did he give her all her salary, but he also gave her a thousand as compensation for her injury. Veronica was even more grateful to Shermie. Raymond brought Veronica back to the villa before the party ended.

After getting out of the car, Veronica raised one foot and hopped into the villa with her other foot. Seeing that, Raymond was in a huff.

He thought, 'Why is she so disobedient?' Seeing Veronica bouncing, Raymond directly walked over, picked her up directly, and carried her on his shoulder as he walked into the villa.
