Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 44

　　City I, Sy International

　　Rawlf was busy reading a project proposal when his secretary burst in unceremoniously. He raised an eyebrow and was about to get back reading when he heard a voice behind Secretary Ryan's back.

　　"Pardon this old woman for suddenly barging in as it's the only thing she thought she could do in order to talk to her powerful and influential unico hijo."

　　Rawlf's mouth twitched seeing his ever graceful, sophisticated, yet spoiled mother, walked her way and imposingly sat on his white, waves sectional sofa.

　　"Mother", Rawlf gently started.

　　"Oh, you still remember you have a mother?!" Vanessa Sy over dramatically yet graciously gasped while both her candle like, well manicured fingers tapped on her chest.

　　Rawlf sighs in exasperation yet can't really blame his mother as he had been too busy to even call her.

　　"Mother, is something wrong?"

　　Vanessa looked at her son accusingly and with a hurt tone replied, "Are you implying that I could only come to you when something is wrong?? That, that is my only purpose now that I'm old and gray and useless for my own powerful son? That I was degraded from a mother to a mere messenger of bad news?! That-"

　　"Mother", Rawlf stood up and approached his ranting mother and seated himself beside her. His mother had always been loving and nurturing towards him. That's what he could only be thankful about.

　　If not only for his father's infidelities, their small family could have been a happy one. Only that despite the love surrounding him as he grew up, Rawlf with his genius tendency often rationalized things rather than to rely on his emotional quotient.

　　That's what set the mother and son's relationship slowly apart as Rawlf grew up to start to mature.

　　" I was very busy, I didn't have time to call you But I've always sent you your favourite

　　flowers."

　　"The flowers are not as important as my son",Vanessa replied solemnly.

　　"What is it?" Rawlf changed the topic as he was never the kind of person who would deal with emotional bickering with his mother or with anyone else.

　　Except that little enchantress of him.

　　Rawlf unknowingly smiled with just the thought of Veronica.

　　"When are you going to introduce that woman to me?" Vanessa said seriously, trying to hide her sparkling eyes with the thought of a future daughter in law.

　　After all, she's not getting any younger and she would love it if she was still strong and energetic to play with her future grandchildren!

　　Rawlf sighed.

　　Of course, it's no longer surprising that aside from his own father, who else would dare to have him followed around to be updated of his whereabouts and whatabouts?

　　No one else, but his daring mother. "Soon."
