Chapter 734 Here Comes Veronica (97)
When Veronica heard that Raymond wanted to go to the supermarket with her, she was shocked. Then she quickly waved her hand.
"Mr. Cordova, thank you, but I can go by myself. It's very fast to take a bus from here. You don't have to waste your time. Besides, you're still in loungewear." Veronica made a signal. Raymond lowered his head and saw the loungewear on him.
"I still have a little time for groceries." Raymond said in a commanding tone, "Wait here. I will go upstairs and change my clothes."
Veronica was speechless.
Veronica had already told Raymond not to go with her, but why did he insist on going? Veronica felt a bit pressured to go to the supermarket with Raymond.
However, Raymond had said so. If Veronica left directly, she was afraid that Raymond would probably be unhappy again.
After a while, Raymond quickly changed his clothes and showed up upstairs.
Raymond's clothes were all cool. Moreover, he had a perfect figure. As Raymond descended from the upper floor, Veronica seemed to see a fashion model emerging from the magazine.
Veronica couldn't shift her gaze away from Raymond. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, 'He is super handsome!'
To prevent Raymond from laughing at her, Veronica pretended to look at him calmly and urged, "You are so slow to change your clothes. Can we go now?"
When they came to the underground parking lot, Veronica's mind went blank. Devin was not there, so the Bentley was naturally not there either. However, Raymond had more cars than that Bentley. So... Raymond took Veronica to a silver Ferrari.
Veronica wondered, 'It's so eye-catching to drive a Ferrari to the supermarket, isn't it?'
Raymond opened the car door of the passenger seat and asked Veronica to sit in. However, Veronica's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and they were too heavy to move.
"What's wrong?" Raymond glanced at Veronica.
Veronica pointed to the car in front of them. "Are we going to drive it?"
His dark eyes swept over Veronica's face. "You don't like this color? I'll get someone to send over a car in other colors."
Veronica was stunned, and then she said, "It is not a matter of the car's color." She thought to herself, 'Are the rich people so willful?
In Raymond's eyes, it doesn't matter whatever car he drives. Anyway, they are just transportation tools for him.' Veronica sighed and got in the car. "Never mind. Let's go." Raymond had a baffled look on his face. He closed the car door for Veronica before returning to his driver's seat.
...
In the underground parking lot of a supermarket, Raymond had just parked his car. Suddenly, two tall, slim, beautiful women in heavy makeup walked toward their car. Seeing Raymond get out of the car, they were immediately attracted by Raymond's handsome face. Then they hurriedly came forward to stop Raymond.
Veronica, who was sitting in the car and silently watching Raymond being pestered by the two women, had an expression of 'I just knew it". Veronica had foreseen that Raymond would be attractive to women when he drove such a fancy Ferrari out. See, it exactly happened now.
"Hey, you're so handsome. Do you live nearby?" One beautiful woman made eyes at Raymond while smiling.
"My apartment is right upstairs. How about coming with me home and having fun?" said the other beautiful woman, who pushed her companion away and boldly wrapped her hands around Raymond's arm. Veronica couldn't watch it anymore. She got out of the car and walked directly to the elevator, without looking at Raymond.
Raymond glanced in Veronica's direction and said indifferently, "I am the driver and bodyguard of that lady. Excuse me, I am working."
When the two beauties heard that the handsome man was only a driver, they instantly lost interest in Raymond. The woman holding Raymond's arm immediately let go of his arm in disgust.
She sighed in her heart, 'What a pity! Such a handsome man, who drives such a fancy sports car, is actually a driver.'
Veronica had already taken the elevator and left. She entered the supermarket and pushed the cart to pick up things. When Veronica thought of Raymond being pestered by those two women, she suddenly fel depressed.
After wandering around, she put nothing in the cart.
Suddenly, a voice came behind her, reminding her, "Aren't you going to buy some vegetables?"
Hearing this, Veronica realized that she had walked past the vegetable section and that the voice sounded like Raymond's.
She turned back and saw Raymond standing behind her.
Veronica pushed the cart back to the vegetable section, glanced at the shelves, looked for the vegetables she needed, and sneered, "Didn't you have fun with two beauties in the parking lot? Why are you coming over?"
Raymond, who was standing behind Veronica, did not answer her. Veronica lowered her head and carefully picked the vegetables. Shortly after, she picked a lot of fresh vegetables, which was enough to cook several dishes. When Veronica looked up, she noticed that Raymond was looking at her.
Veronica thought there was something on her face, so she touched her face.
"Is there anything on my face?"
Raymond raised his eyebrows slightly. "Good. You're making progress!"
Veronica was confused about what progress Raymond was referring to.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
Raymond ignored her and walked in front, letting Veronica push the cart to follow behind. "What else do you want to buy?"
"Fruit," Veronica replied in depression.
Then Veronica and Raymond walked together to the fruit section.
When they just got there, a somewhat acquaintance came over from the front. Veronica frowned when she saw that face.
She seemed to have seen the man in front of her before.
Veronica suddenly remembered that she had seen this man once when she came to this supermarket last time. It happened that the man in front of her had dropped his wallet. She picked it up and returned it to him. Back then, she opened the wallet to check it out and found his driving license inside. She had an impression of his name. It seemed to be Eric Keith.
Veronica thought, 'How coincident it is! This is the second time I have come to this supermarket, and I meet him a second time!'
Eric also saw Veronica and quickly came up to her. "Miss, what a coincidence! I meet you again."
Veronica smiled faintly. "Yeah, what a coincidence!"
Raymond, who was standing next to Veronica, narrowed his eyes and looked at Eric in front of him with a dangerous gaze.
Raymond's outfit today looked grown-up. In contrast, Veronica wore a fresh T-shirt and jeans. With her face, she looked only 18 or 19. So when Veronica and Raymond stood together, it was as if there was a big age difference between them.
Eric subconsciously glanced at Raymond and then said with a smile, "Previously, I heard you say that you have an uncle. This is your uncle, right?"
Veronica was speechless.
She wondered, 'Uncle?
Does he have a sense of telling age? Raymond is...'
Veronica turned her head to glance at Raymond. She had to admit that Raymond's calm and mature temperament, coupled with his black business suit, made him look a little mature.
Raymond's face became extremely gloomy.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Veronica was a little panicky.
"Well, he..."
Veronica wondered if Eric had problems with his eyes.
She thought, 'Raymond probably looks more serious and steadier than other men of his age, but no matter how you look at him, his face looks only about 20. How can he be taken as a man who has a niece of my age?'
