Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267 4500-Dollar Part-Time Job“Ivana just called and said that she’s coming too. I think she has something to discuss with you,” said Yvonne when she suddenly thought of something.Just as Yvonne said that, someone said ‘hi’ and walked over. “Sorry to keep you guys waiting. I got off work late.”“Take a seat. I just arrived too,” Veronica greeted her with a smile.Ivana placed her bag on the seat and sat next to Veronica casually. “It’s only been two months since I met you. How did you lose so much weight? Your jawline is so sharp that you probably can cut fruits with it!” Her little joke elicited laughter among themselves.After exchanging a few customary greetings, the trio chatted while waiting for the rest of the food to be served.“Yvonne said you have something to tell me?” Veronica inquired straightforwardly.Ivana, who was holding a piece of sushi and dipping it in the sauce, paused and put down her chopsticks. She then scooched near to Veronica and asked in a low voice, “I have a job in hand. Would you like to consider it?”“What is it about?”Veronica’s eyes lit up when she heard that it was a money-making opportunity.“What is it? Don’t be so mysterious. Hurry up and tell us.” Yvonne glared at Ivana while chewing on her tempura. She was getting impatient when Ivana intentionally built up suspense.“Remember how Veronica helped me out at the jewelry show before? I met a business partner today who is going to organize an auto show and needs a famous model. I recommended Veronica to him, and he happily agreed.”After she finished speaking, she looked at Veronica again. “They’re offering 4500 dollars for two hours. I wasn’t sure if you would agree to it, so I came over to ask your opinion.”“So little? It’s freezing cold in winter! How could they only offer 4500 dollars of appearance fee?! That’s not enough.” Yvonne shook her head, grabbed a piece of salmon, and mumbled, “She’s the boss of Encounters. How could she only be earning 4500?!”Veronica mixed the sauce on her plate, thinking about it thoroughly.Although 4500 was not a big sum, it was not a bad deal for two hours.“When did you guys know what happened to me?” She suddenly raised her head, looked at Yvonne, and then looked at Ivana. Her sharp eyes were cold.“I…”Ivana was stunned for a moment before she threw Yvonne a look of help.Chewing the food in her mouth, Yvonne pursed her lips and replied, “Bloomstead isn’t a big place. Rumors spread easily through the walls. I don’t know who started it, but in this circle, rumor has it that you and Matthew aren’t getting along, and he’s deliberately making things difficult for you.”Initially, Yvonne did not plan to tell Veronica about this, but she did not expect her friend to be so smart to catch on so quickly.“Yeah. People in our company are also talking about it,” Ivana echoed.Veronica acted like it did not bother her as she continued eating her food.For the past two months, she had been busy with Vincere Games and Encounters. Naturally, she had no time to pay attention to rumors and gossips.If it was not for Ivana who mentioned to her about the auto show company offering 4500 to work as a car girl, she probably would not have thought about this matter.After all, she was the god-granddaughter of Elizabeth. If she was only offered 4500 dollars for a one-time appearance, most people would worry that Veronica would be offended due to the cheap fee, and thus, indirectly offend the Kings Family.Since the other party invited her to be a model and offered such a low price, Ivana must have said nice things about her in front of them.If she analyzed it in detail, she was able to figure everything out.“Erm… What Yvie said makes sense. You are the boss of Encounters, so it doesn’t seem appropriate for you to take up the offer…”“Why not? I’m taking it!”Veronica took a sip from the cup before exclaiming, “4500 is enough for me to pay my house rent for more than a year. I can make a lot of money for rent just by working for two hours!”These words came from Veronica’s heart.She did not feel pitiful that she had ended up in such a situation. Instead, she thought it was the normal state of life.However, when Ivana and Yvonne heard it, they could not help but feel bad for her.“Are you insane? The auto show might be an open-air one, and we’re currently in the middle of winter! Do you know how cold it will be?!” Yvonne admired Veronica’s resilience and determination as she regarded her as a good friend.Seeing that Veronica was willing to take up a modeling show for 4500 dollars made her heart ache.She was so infuriated that she slammed the table angrily, scolding, “Don’t take up the job! Isn’t it just 4500 dollars? You don’t need that money.”“I do need that money,” Veronica chuckled softly and continued chewing on her food nonchalantly. She then took another piece of sushi, dipped it in the sauce, and raised her eyebrows, questioning, “I can eat at Shiro’s Sushi for a lot more times with 4500 dollars. Doesn’t it sound like a good deal?”Yvonne looked at the plates of sushi and salmon while nodding with approval, “Yup. Sounds like a good deal, but… wasn’t your first love called Hendrey? Isn’t he in Bloomstead? Are you not afraid that it’ll be awkward for him to see you?”“He was dispatched by the company to take up a course in Castron, so he will likely be back in a month or two.”Though Veronica did not meet Hendrey often recently, she kept in touch with him.Otherwise, she would not have known about Hendrey’s current situation.…The three women ate and chatted until 8 pm before parting ways.After returning home, Ivana gave Veronica the contact number of the auto show organizer.Veronica immediately texted the auto show organizer via WhatsApp and chatted with the other party about the event. Eventually, the other party transferred her a deposit of 1500 dollars and agreed to meet her at the open-air auto show at Bloomstead Convention and Exhibition Center in the afternoon the day after tomorrow.Open-air auto show?Veronica was lying in bed while listening to the violent gust of cold wind blowing outside. She could not help but shudder due to the cold just by thinking about it.Making money was not an easy task.She politely replied with a message:No problem, Mr. Wagner. I will see you then.After that, she opened the live broadcast app, searched for ‘Black Dragons’, and clicked in to watch a game of Black Dragons against a regional team online.The opponent’s team was well-known, and Black Dragons had also been spending loads of money to gain popularity recently. In addition to the popularity accumulated before, they too had attracted many fans.However, the number of netizens watching the live broadcast online was less than 50,000.Veronica sent a gift without hesitation and commented:Let’s get it, Black Dragons!After that, she sent a few more gifts generously before putting her phone aside and going to the bathroom to take a shower.While she was in the bathroom, her phone started ringing.Wrapped in a bathrobe, she walked out, picked up her phone, and saw the name ‘Xavier’ popping up on the screen.“Why is he calling at such late hours?” Veronica muttered in confusion but answered the phone anyway.“Hello?”“Did I wake you up from your sleep?” he asked.“No, I’m used to going to bed late.” Veronica smiled and asked straightforwardly, “It’s kinda late for a phone call. Is something wrong?”
