Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85

Never did Veronica think that Matthew would arrange for her to work at the Spinfluence Group

“There‘s no need to be so surprised. It‘s what Grandňa wants,” Matthew told Veronica, looking at her with disdain as if afraid she would overthink his decision.

“Can I choose not to go?” Truly, she didn‘t wish to enter the Spinfluence Group.

After all, it meant she would have to see him at work during the day and at home in the evenings. She couldn‘í possibly imagine how awful it would be to have to face this dour man every day.

Moreover, she truly hated him..

Spending too much time with him would likely affect her mood.

Ding!

Right at this moment, the elevator doors opened and Matthew strode out on long legs, answering once he was far away from her, “No.”

It was in an absolute tone of voice, leaving Veronica with no space to argue.

Staring after him, she rubbed her head. “What the f*ck?”

As she exited the elevator, she saw him getting into his car. Thomas was in the driver‘s seat, but the backseat door was left open.

Thinking Matthew was so used to having Thomas wait on him that he couldn‘t even remember to shut his own door, Veronica walked over and kindly reminded him, “Your door‘s still open.” And then, she slammed it shut before waving goodbye to them. “See you!”

Keep the peace at all costs, Veronica told herself.

Now that she was living under Matthew‘s roof, she had to at least appear cordial so that she wouldn‘t anger him and be forced to rent her own place.

Food, water, electricity, and property costs were all quite expensive.

However she could save, she would.

That way, she could mail the money she saved up to her foster parents to improve their quality of life. It was her best course of action.

Inside the car, however, Matthew was glowering at the shut door.

Seeing how embarrassed his boss looked through the rearview mirror and coming to an understanding, Thomas rolled down the car window to say to Veronica, “Where do you wish to go, Miss Murphy? Do get in the car; I can send you there.”

“Ha! Thank you, Mr. Ritter, but I can walk.”

Veronica would be screwed if Matthew found out she was working at Xavier‘s company

“Uh... ...” Not knowing how to reply, Thomas glanced beseechingly through the rearview mirror at Matthew.

Unexpectedly, Matthew only told him coldly, “Let‘s go.”

“Of course, Young Master Matthew.” With that, Thomas rolled up the window, started the car, and drove off.

Meanwhile, Veronica walked out of the garage.

Although the dedicated elevator for the penthouse did reach the Twilight Club lobby, the club was still locked up at this moment as it had not yet opened for the day. With no way of exiting through the front doors, Veronica could only leave the building through the basement floors.

Since Matthew had his own parking space and a driver to wait for him, he only ever exited from the second–floor basement.

On the other hand, Veronica was in a much more dire straits.

After leaving the underground parking garage, she scanned a barcode on her phone and rented a bicycle to take to work.

In the president‘s office at Xavier‘s company, she met up with Xavier.

“Whatever for?” he asked carelessly before leaning back in his seat and closing his eyes, pretending to rest.

Pursing her lips, she played with the hem of her skirt restlessly. “My… period is half a month late. I wish to do a checkup.”

*I have something to do in the afternoon. Let Thomas send you.”

Tiffany‘s eyes flashed when she heard that and with a curl of her lip, she answered; “Okay.”

Just then, the red light at the intersection changed, and the sedan passed through the intersection with the rest of the traffic. Thus, the entire incident went unnoticed by Veronica.

At this moment, she was still happily chatting with Xavier.

After lunch, she returned to work with him.

That afternoon, as Xavier was spacing out in his office chair, Veronica happened to walk in and see him looking lost in thought. “What‘s the matter?” she asked.

“Well, the organizations in Bloomstead are holding public welfare activities and my dad would like us to send someone to Almeida. I‘m trying to think of whom to send.” With that, he rested his gaze thoughtfully on her.

“To Almeida? That‘s pretty far.” Veronica thought about it for a moment before saying, “If there‘s no one else, I can go.”

“Are you sure?” Xavier lit up and looked hopefully at her.

“I‘m the newbie of the company. There‘s a lot I don‘t know how to do and can‘t help with yet. On the other hand, I can contribute at Almeida. It seems like a pretty good solution.”

From the very beginning, Veronica was a kind-hearted person who often went to nursing or welfare homes to help out when she was free.

“You must know Almeida is very far, though. I have no way of accompanying you.”

“So what? Aren‘t you aware of my capabilities? Don‘t worry about me.” Confidently, she thumped her chest, as if to reassure him that she could handle anything he threw at her.
