Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 108

  Veronica walked to Rawlf who was already smiling softly while watching her approach him as he skillfully played the lovely tune on the piano.

  Beside the big piano, there was a table with two seats. Atop the table was a wine bucket filled with ice and a bottle of wine.

  There were two wine glasses arranged near it and a flower vase of red roses at the center part. The setting was neat and it's to Veronica's liking.

  Veronica chose to approached Rawlf while he was still playing. She leaned on the side of the piano watching her man. Rawlf smirked at her then focus on the piano keys.

  The atmosphere is filled with the soft and pretty tune, a woman staring at her man, love filled her eyes. While the man, from time to time would glance at his woman, as he put his heart into playing the piece for her.

  "Do you like it?"

  Rawlf asked her after he finished the piece. He pulled her gently to his lap.

  Veronica let him pull her to him, "Yes. It's charming. What piece is it?"

  "To a Wild Rose. Published by Edward McDowell in 1896. Do you know that the idea of this piece was almost tossed in the trash bin?"

  Veronica looked at him, urging him to continue the interesting story of the piece.

  "But then, his wife Marian, picked up the paper, uncrumpled it, and played the song, assuring her husband, Edward, the one who made the piece that it was a charming little melody."

  "Indeed, it is. Can you play it again?" "Later. Let's have some wine first."

  Veronica stood from Rawlf's embrace and the couple walked to the table near them. Rawlf, like a gentleman, pulled a seat and let Veronica sit first before moving to the other side.

  He pulled a chair of his own and bent to pick something on the chair. Veronica "awwed" when Rawlf offered him a bouquet of red roses.

  The bouquet looks so beautiful that any woman would surely have twinkling eyes, especially if it came from the man she loves.

  "You are so…. prepared", she giggled happily.

  "Come on, spill it in the open, what is it all about?"

  "Well," Rawlf paused as if waiting for something, then suddenly, the atmosphere was filled by the lovely romantic tune.

  Veronica turned her head towards the entrance of the rooftop.

  There, approaching their table, was a slightly middle aged man playing another lovely piece, this time, on a violin.

  Rawlf suddenly stood up and he walked back on Veronica's side, and to the woman's surprise, the man knelt in front of her as he presented an already opened small red box to her.

  "I know that mom already introduced you as my fiancé so I was forced to do this." The couple looked into each other's eyes then both of them laughed.
