On the other hand, Rawlf was still at a loss as to what to do.
He already tasked his secretary to find a good, okay, that's an understatement, best, best and expensive gown for Veronica.
The fundraising ball was already set tomorrow evening and finding the best gown for his woman was not really the problem.
The problem is, how will he explain and ask Veronica to come with him on the said event?
He doesn't mind disappointing his mother by not attending the ball but Rawlf couldn't understand himself when the first thing that he did after reading the content of the invitation letter was to call Secretary Ryan to find the best gown for Veronica.
Maybe, indeed, deep inside, he wanted to show off Veronica among the elites of high society and to proclaim that the woman is his.
That way, no one would dare flirt with her or even think about coveting her.
Rawlf must admit it to himself that despite the immense power and influence he possesses, the thought of losing Veronica made him scared.
Just the mere thought of it made him want to just put her in a cage, or build the highest tower or even better, an underground mansion where he could have Veronica all for himself, not letting any possibility of her leaving him.
But those urges, Rawlf realized, would most likely be the reason for the woman to leave him.
That's why he had always been patient and kind to her for God knows how hard it is for him to control his possessive urges of locking Veronica with him in the hotel suite for a week..or even better, for eternity but then again, Rawlf thought, that was never the right way to treat his now most treasured woman.
Those are mere urges but his emotional attachment for her runs deep in his bones that the thought of Veronica crying or being mad at him to the point of hating him made Rawlf shivered involuntarily.
Veronica became his ultimate weakness and it's too late for him to turn his back on her now. Rawlf straightened his back as he smiled when another thought passed on him.
It's about time to house his woman. He had been meaning to do that a few days back but whenever he's with Veronica, he would often forget anything else and just savor the moment of being beside her.
To smell her fragrant hair, her soft skin, to embrace her petite and soft body against him and kiss her sweet lips.
It's beyond blissful especially whenever Veronica would act spoit just to appease his mood. Rawlf grinned. "My Veronica".
After realizing himself acting like a sick, creepy, stalkery fool, Rawlf had the urge to facepalm himself. What is this feeling?!
Another moment passed and Rawlf couldn't focus so he decided to leave early so he would have time to talk to Veronica.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to message her to be back early at the suite as he had something important to say.
The Sy International employees on the other hand had been on cloud nine the past weeks!
Their President, the ruthless, cold blooded President Rawlf Sy now oftentimes left very early which meant, they themselves could leave right on time.
It has been a habit that they leave work past the office hours as they wanted to impress rather,
were embarrassed that their President did not even leave the building so how could they feel not guilty and leave earlier than him?!
Well, they would eventually have to leave for home but at least, leaving work two or three hours after the work hour was their way of showing how much devoted they are to their work.
