Noticing that Veronica had got up, that guy jerked himself up and ran away while saying, "Shit!"
Veronica then returned the bag to the pregnant woman, who kept thanking Veronica gratefully.
When Veronica was back again to Ian, Ian looked at Veronica in surprise.
Veronica smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry. I hope I didn't scare you just now."
"No, you didn't."
At that moment, the taxi arrived. Ian got in the car after thanking Veronica a bit.
Sitting in the taxi, Ian looked at Veronica from the rearview mirror and took out his phone before dialing a number. "I have found a person who suits our needs just fine. She's Ms. Luke, a senior in the Foreign Language Department of University A in Peace City. She knows how to fight."
...
Ten minutes later, Raymond, who was in the President's Office of the Cordova Group, received a call.
"Mr. Cordova, we found out that the ambassador from Wooddale was named Ian Hersey. He deplaned at Peace International Airport forty minutes ago. But we have lost track of him ever since."
"Alright!"
Raymond hung up the phone and called Veronica.
Meanwhile, Veronica had just arrived at the classroom and was about to enter it.
Noticing that her phone was ringing, Veronica took it out.
But Raymond's name, which was displayed on the screen, startled Veronica a bit, whose hand trembled and then touched the answer button accidentally.
Raymond's low voice sounded from the receiver right away.
Noticing that there was a classmate behind her, Veronica hung up the phone and powered off her phone immediately.
Raymond was surprised that Veronica should hang up the phone after he got through and even said "hello" to her.
Staring at his phone, Raymond looked gloomy with a dark face.
He thought, 'How dare she hang up my phone!'
Then he called again, only to hear a mechanical voice coming from the phone, "Sorry, the phone you dialed is temporarily unavailable!"
Raymond thought, 'What the heck! Unavailable?' Then he threw his phone on the table with a gloomy face, making a particularly ear-piercing noise.
Meanwhile, Raymond's secretary, Kaylee Hodges, was holding some documents in her hands while knocking at the door, which was actually not closed. But Kaylee didn't dare to enter the office since Raymond looked exceptionally cold now.
Raymond wrenched his mind back due to the knock. Then he glanced at Kaylee, who was outside the door, and regained his composure as he sat down on his chair, saying in a low voice, "Why are you still standing there?"
Kaylee ran in hurriedly and placed the documents on Raymond's table. "Mr. Cordova, these are all the documents that require to be dealt with this morning."
"Leave them here!"
"All right."
Kaylee nodded and turned around right away before putting down the documents. And after she left the office, Kaylee closed the door behind her.
That was because Raymond's office was very soundproof.
And now that the door was closed, Kaylee knew that she could say whatever she wanted without being heard by Raymond. Therefore, the moment she was out, Kaylee shouted at the area where all the secretaries were working, "A word of advice. Mr. Cordova isn't in a good mood today."
Hearing that, all the secretaries began to complain.
Among them, one, who Raymond reprimanded the most, pulled a long face while grumbling, "What's with Mr. Cordova, suffering from violent mood swings like this?"
A colleague next to the secretary patted her shoulder sympathetically. "Well, stop complaining. As far as I can remember, you have a report to give Mr. Cordova in an hour!"
"Do the report for me, please."
"I know that the two of us share everything. But being scolded by Mr. Cordova? Well, I think I'll pass."
The office was reduced to a heated discussion.
