Novel Update
Homewrecker
Veronica’s eyes widened in a mix of horror and amusement. Why was he there? His office wasn’t even located in B. Y TV building… She blinked rapidly.
While pondering this, she observed him turning away from the partition and strolling down the corridor.
Upon catching sight of her, Nathan’s steps slowed, yet a few seconds later, he averted his gaze and walked past her.
Veronica released the breath she hadn’t realized she had been holding.
She turned and watched his retreating form… So handsome… Her lips curled up in a cute smile. Actually, the only reason she had come to B. Y TV was to be close to Nathan Anderson-
Come to think of it, why was he on her office floor?
Her brows furrowed, she walked over to where he had been standing earlier and peered through the glass.
“There’s nothing here,” she muttered.
However, as she turned away, her eyes swiftly darted to the cubicle directly across from where she stood, on the other side of the partition.
Mia Thompson. She was definitely the one he’d been watching…
Veronica’s eyes wavered, and a surge of anger bubbled within her. That schemer! Would she ever stop?!
Visibly seething, she turned and promptly marched into the office.
_________
Throughout the day, Veronica kept shooting daggers at Mia with her eyes. However, the girl paid no heed, as Veronica wasn’t the only one giving her hostile glances. The entire office was.
Ignoring the collective disapproval, Mia focused solely on her work; that was her only recourse.
Martha, who consistently shielded her from prying eyes at work, had departed earlier with Mrs. Brown to source news and wouldn’t be returning to the office that day. So, Mia was on her own.
As closing hours approached, everyone began dispersing one by one.
Once the coast was clear and it was only her and Mia remaining in the office, Veronica rushed to Mia’s side.
“Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Must you throw yourself at every man? Show some decency!” She lashed out.
Mia was taken aback by the sudden outburst, her brows knitting in confusion. After a long day at work, tiredness weighed on her, and all she wanted was to go home and find solace in her man’s arms. Not this…
Ignoring Veronica, she calmly stood up and began packing her belongings.
Veronica’s anger flared even more. “Are you insane?!” She yelled furiously. “How dare you ignore me?! Who do you think you are?”
Heaving a weary sigh, Mia paused in her actions and turned to face Veronica. “Who do you think you are too? Who are you to judge me like that? Why do you think you have the right?”
Mia thought the girl was still not over the issue with Max and Martha.
As it was the first time Mia had spoken back, Veronica was left completely taken aback and speechless.
Stuttering, she managed, “Y-you-did you just talk back to me?” then scoffed, “unbelievable. Look at this audacious-”
Mia scoffed silently and prepared to respond to Veronica, but just as she was about to, her phone began to ring.
Rummaging through her bag, she retrieved it, and her face lit up upon seeing the caller ID.
Initially considering walking away from Veronica before answering, however, she had a second thought.
“Hello, Honey,” she answered the phone right in front of the girl.
She had her own man. Veronica should know that!
Veronica was left in astonishment.
“Oh, you’re outside my office… I’ll be right there.”
Ending the call, Mia swiftly packed her remaining items before turning to leave. However, she paused, briefly glancing at Veronica before departing.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Veronica was utterly dumbfounded. Where did the girl find such confidence? Amusing.
“Did she say ‘Honey’?” Her brows furrowed. “Must be one of her victims. She’ll never stop until she’s taught a lesson!”
Collecting her belongings, Veronica hurriedly exited the office.
Perhaps publicly embarrassing Mia would put an end to her behavior, bringing an end to the shame she brought upon the entire female gender.
As Mia stepped outside her office building, it wasn’t difficult to spot her husband’s vehicle parked a short distance away, away from the lights.
Smiling cutely, she bounced giddily to the car.
As she reached for the car door handle, she suddenly felt a force pulling her from behind.
“Can’t you stay away from people’s men?! Are you cursed?!” Veronica yelled, her chest heaving. “Who is it this time? A boyfriend of one of our former classmates? Or someone’s from the office?” She cast a cold gaze at Mia.
Mia was taken aback. Was Veronica not tired? When would she stop bullying her? She blinked speechlessly, trying to get words out of her mouth.
However…
“No. It’s not any of those.” The person in the backseat had rolled down the car window, responding to Veronica’s questions.
“Huh?” Veronica’s eyes shifted, but it was dark inside the car, making it impossible to see the speaker’s face.
His voice was cool, enchanting, and somehow deep-
Her eyes widened and she shot a disgusted look at Mia. “So you actually do have sugar daddies.”
How embarrassing.
Regardless, “Look here. If you know what’s good for you, stay away from this girl. I know her very well, and she’s never been up to any good. So, do yourself a favor and keep your distance.” Veronica warned the man in the vehicle.
Eyeing Mia, “I’m sure you have a wife… this girl will only ruin your household-get rid of her. For your own good.” she added.
The area fell silent after she finished speaking.
Mia was speechless. Her? A homewrecker???
However, a short while later, the man in the vehicle spoke again in his husky voice, “Such a shame. That’s quite impossible.”
“What?!” Veronica blinked rapidly.
Pressing his lips together, Shawn shrugged. “You told me to get rid of her; that’s impossible to do…”
Veronica scoffed at his words, finding them shameless. Did the man not have any respect for his family? She opened her mouth to speak but Shawn’s next words shocked her to the core.
“… because she’s my wife.”
“What?!” Her jaw dropped open at once, nearly touching the ground.
“W-who is your wife?” She swallowed uneasily.
“Mia. Mia Thompson is my wife.”
