Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew) novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489 Helping Him

“Zac and Conrad are paranoid. They’re keeping a close eye on you. You’ll have to stay away from Matthew if you want to help him.” Crayson only said that so they would not get back together, or otherwise, it would have a great impact on Veronica. And yet he had a point too.

Veronica mused about it for a moment and nodded. “Yeah. I should be on the lookout for them.” No wonder Matthew insulted Sasha when she came to me and destroyed her career after that. It looks like he’s ruining her work, but he’s actually putting on a show for Conrad and keeping Sasha safe.

“B-But we can stay in touch as long as nobody knows, can’t we?” She missed him. This was the first time she had missed someone so dearly in her life.

“Don’t even think about it.” Crayson poked her forehead. “If those b*stards find out that you’re talking with Matthew, everything you did would be all for nothing. They might kidnap you or your parents. They might also do me in. Either way, we’d just be a piece of deadweight for Matthew.”

“But—”

She wanted to say something else, but Crayson glanced at her. “No buts. You’ll have to go for a year and a half without him if you really want to be with him. It’s a test. I won’t stop you if the two of you can get through it.”

“A year and a half? It’s been three months since we broke up.”

“Fine. A year and three months.”

“Okay.”

“Don’t ‘okay’ me. Get up and train. You can’t even help him out with how weak you are right now!”

It was hurtful, but it was needed. Crayson pointed out her weakness, and it motivated her. From that day onwards, she went through training hell. She wanted to stand by Matthew’s side as an equal, not deadweight.

She had breakfast and got changed after her morning training. When she was about to leave for work, she remembered she wasn’t working with Starshine anymore. Veronica went back to her bedroom and changed into a black work attire and pulled her hair back into a ponytail. She paired that up with a pair of black heels. Since she would be working at a car dealership, she opted to get a cab instead of going in her own car. As she was on her way to work, she looked outside the window, and a smile curled her lips. He didn’t betray me. I’m so lucky to run into someone who cares about me.

She arrived at the dealership twenty minutes later, and she went to see Patrick.

Patrick was in his office. Veronica was in black suit and pants. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she only had light makeup on, but that was enough for her to stand out among her peers. She nailed that mature woman look, and nobody was prettier than she was. Patrick’s eyes shone when he saw her. He felt something stir in his heart, telling him to approach this woman no matter what.

“Mr. Simon? Mr. Simon?” Veronica stood outside his office, greeting him, but Patrick was leering at her. He didn’t even hear Veronica.

She sighed silently and knocked on the door, snapping Patrick out of it.

“Oh, hi, Veronica. Here. Fill this form out.” Patrick knew the situation she was in. He didn’t have to butter her up, but the fact that she was a damsel in distress was enough of an opening for him. He was coming up with a plan to get in her pants. Patrick pulled out an employment form from his file and handed it to her.

“Of course, Mr. Simon.”
