Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485 I Won’t Fall For You

“Ho-ho! Here, fill out the job application first. Even though Miss Lambert introduced you here, you’ll still have to pass the assessment period.” Patrick chortled again with a crafty gleam in his eyes. “Our store sells high-end cars, and every sales consultant has shocking sales skills. In sales, everyone relies on true abilities to make a living. Just having a pretty face isn’t enough.”

That last phrase was a deliberate jab at Veronica, but she didn’t mind and nodded her head obediently. “I understand what you mean, Mr. Simon. Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you.” Patrick raised his brows and looked at her with a bit of contempt and greed. “First, let me tell you about the salary and benefits…”

After he briefly explained the salary and benefits to her, she nodded, saying that she would show up for work, as usual, tomorrow, and left the store. When she noticed that it was still relatively early, she called Yvonne and went to visit her at her place.

When she reached Yvonne’s apartment, she was practicing yoga, and Veronica chatted casually with her while seated on the couch. Then, she couldn’t help but point out, “Tell me honestly, what exactly happened to you that made you so happy? You seem to be in high spirits today.”

As Yvonne had rekindled her relationship with Conrad, and he didn’t allow her to tell Veronica the truth so that it wouldn’t start an unnecessary misunderstanding, Yvonne didn’t dare to say a word to Veronica.

Furthermore, Matthew and Veronica’s relationship recently had turned sour, and he even cut off all her employment opportunities, completely ignoring their relationship as siblings. From this, it showed that Matthew was a ruthless person.

Yvonne knew that Conrad was unwell. Thus, she was worried that Matthew would use some underhand means to deal with Conrad. That was the main driving force that motivated her to hide the truth, especially since Matthew had suddenly kindly offered to take care of her child.

As she looked back at things now, she thought that his sudden enthusiasm that appeared out of thin air must be hiding some sort of evil intentions; Matthew must have taken her baby away to blackmail Conrad!

“Nothing. It’s just…” She faced Veronica with her back as she stretched her calves. “I feel more at ease now that the baby is not with me, and I’m not in danger anymore.”

“That’s true,” Veronica muttered, taking her words at face value.

Both of them chatted for a bit more until Veronica received a call. She stared at the unknown number and hesitated for a few seconds before pushing the green button. “Hello, who’s this?”

“Miss Murphy, I’m Adrian Colland. You probably… still remember me, don’t you?”

Although the man on the line pronounced each word perfectly, it still sounded a little awkward.

“Yeah, why are you calling me?”

It wasn’t surprising to her that he found her number, but what she found odd was the motive he initiated contact with her today.

“Aren’t you curious about what’s happening to Matthew Kings?”

“Sorry, I’m not interested.”

“Oh, really? Heh, do you know that he doesn’t love Sasha at all and that both of them are just putting up an act?” Right away, over the phone, Adrian blurted a particular topic, immediately getting Veronica’s undivided attention.

Sure enough, upon hearing that, she frowned as she contemplated the truthfulness of his words.

“Where are you?”

Ever since she broke up with Matthew, every single cruel act he did toward her seemed to make sense. Despite that, there was a niggling thought in her mind that screamed that things somehow didn’t add up. So, when Adrian suddenly told her that Matthew didn’t love Sasha, it naturally aroused her curiosity.

“Second floor of Autumn Cafe. I’ll give you thirty minutes to get here,” he said, hanging up after he had given her the location.

Veronica palmed her phone as she slipped into her thoughts while she stared at the call record page on the screen.
