Chapter 692 Here Comes Veronica (55)
Veronica thought the bowl was going to fall to the ground, so she subconsciously closed her eyes and let out a cry. However, the expected breaking sound was not heard.
As soon as Veronica opened her eyes, she saw Raymond holding the bowl steadily.
Raymond handed the bowl to Veronica and said with a frown, "What were you thinking? You almost broke the bowl."
Veronica took the bowl from Raymond and said with a lingering fear, "Your sudden appearance shocked me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thrown the bowl away."
She didn't know why he suddenly stood behind her.
Veronica was scared out of her wits.
Raymond was amused by the shocked expression on Veronica's face.
"If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of anything. Did you do something wrong?"
"I didn't!" Veronica felt guilty and did not dare to meet Raymond's eyes.
In fact, when she turned around just now, she did think of something.
The scenes of Raymond and Shirley being so close to each other lingered in Veronica's mind.
She had been thinking about the relationship between Raymond and Shirley. Just as she was lost in thought, Raymond suddenly appeared. Therefore, Veronica was startled.
As soon as Raymond saw Veronica turn around guiltily, he seemed to have guessed something and deliberately said, "You are guilty. What were you thinking just now?" Raymond's handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes. Veronica was shocked and reflexively pushed Raymond's face away.
As she pushed him away, Veronica loosened her grip, and the bowl in her hand slipped out of her hand again.
Raymond did not reach out to take it this time. And with a bang, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground and turned into pieces.
Veronica and Raymond looked at the ground at the same time.
Veronica felt even more guilty. She quickly lowered her head and picked up the fragments.
She was so anxious cleaning up the mess that her fingers were cut by the fragments.
"Ouch!" Veronica cried out in alarm and immediately released the fragments. On Veronica's slender fingers, there was a bloody mark.
Raymond immediately grabbed Veronica's wrist and pulled out two pieces of tissue. He pressed them on Veronica's finger and dragged her into the dining room. He let Veronica sit down and asked her to hold
on to the wound on her finger. He then went to take out a medicine kit from the storage cabinet in the living room. After opening the medicine kit, Raymond sat opposite Veronica.
Raymond took out the disinfectant and band-aid from the medicine kit. He simply dipped the cotton in the disinfectant, wiped off the blood on Veronica's finger, and pasted a band-aid on her wound.
While Raymond was disinfecting her wound, Veronica looked at Raymond, who was seriously cleaning her wound, and her heart suddenly pounded.
While Raymond was applying the band-aid for Veronica, he muttered to her with dissatisfaction, "You're so clumsy. How can you touch the fragments with your hands?"
Veronica felt a little guilty and said awkwardly, "Well, I forgot about that."
Raymond glared at her. "Aren't you quite smart? Why did you become so stupid?"
While speaking, Raymond knocked on her forehead.
Veronica touched the place where Raymond hit and said, "It hurts. I am now injured!"
Raymond looked at her with a half-smile.
"It's just a small cut on the finger. It's not a big deal."
Veronica was speechless.
Raymond seemed to be right.
In the end, Raymond smiled lovingly at Veronica and touched her head. "Alright, you can't touch water now. Wait here. I'll go get breakfast."
Veronica's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Raymond's smile. "Let me do it."
Raymond pressed down on Veronica's shoulder.
"Don't, don't complain to Marie behind my back again. I didn't bully you when you were injured. Just take a seat. I'll go get breakfast."
Veronica was lost for words.
After a while, Raymond brought two bowls of porridge to Veronica, which made her feel a little flattered. Later, Raymond took a few pieces of bread that Veronica had roasted in advance from the toaster. Then they began to eat.
"What are you going to do this morning?" Halfway through, Raymond suddenly asked Veronica.
Veronica said, "The company arranged for me to go to Oculus Square to be an interpreter." Raymond was surprised.
"An interpreter?"
"Yes!"
Raymond frowned. "Weren't you just admitted to the company? Why would they arrange for you to be an interpreter?"
"Maybe they trust me."
"Can you do that?"
Veronica looked at him with a smile. "There shouldn't be any problems."
Hearing Veronica's words, Raymond heaved a sigh of relief.
Since Veronica was confident, things would be fine.
Raymond suddenly raised his bowl of porridge and touched Veronica's.
"I hope things go well!"
Veronica was speechless.
Others would clink glasses, but Raymond was clinking bowls with her.
However, Veronica felt warm in her heart. She looked at Raymond with a bright smile and said, "Thank you!"
Veronica's bright smile was as beautiful as the red roses. And Raymond was attractive to her.
He smiled meaningfully and said, "It's fine."
...
Coming out of the Cordova's villa, Veronica took a taxi to Oculus Square.
When she arrived at Oculus Square, the head of the company who worked with Veronica's company greeted her.
Veronica smiled at him and politely extended her hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Parker. I'm Veronica Luke from Supreme Company. You can call me Veronica."
Finlay Parker frowned as he sized Veronica up.
"You are Veronica from Supreme Company? Did you graduate from university?" Finlay asked suspiciously.
Veronica answered honestly, "I'll graduate in July next year."
Hearing that Veronica would only graduate in July of next year, Finlay suddenly looked sullen.
"What? You will graduate in July of next year. So you are still a college student." Finlay was angry. "What is Mr. Wager doing? Our cooperation with foreign companies is very important. How can he send a college student to be an interpreter?"Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Finlay was just about to make a call when a staff member came over.
"Mr. Parker, the client has arrived. Please bring the interpreter over!"
