Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 46

　　"Madame Sy invited me to a ball tomorrow evening", Lisa started.

　　Julie Tan on the other hand tried her best to suppress her sudden jolt of anger and slap the cousin in her face. She heard it clearly, Madame Sy! Vanessa Sy! Rawlf Sy's mother!! Her future mother in law! That's right! Her future mother in law invited her cousin Lisa to a ball tomorrow?!

　　But why? And how?! This cousin was newly hired so how come she got the aloof madame Sy's attention and even invited her to a ball.

　　Julie Tan maintained her kind face as she fished out for more information from Lisa.

　　"A ball tomorrow? You mean the fundraising event? I was invited too! Good thing that aunt Vanessa invited you", Julie smiled happily while shamelessly calling Vanessa Sy as her aunt when the madame had just only met her once from another fundraising event. There was an introduction between the madame and her as she was the current City I mayor's daughter. Although brief and the madame was aloof yet Julie was very ecstatic to be acquainted with her future husband's mother, her future mother in law!

　　"Yeah, but I don't know if I can make it as...I don't have anything to wear and I'm a bit

　　embarrassed as I'm not really used to attending those kinds of events. I mean events for the

　　elites of the high society", Lisa act shy and helpless so as not to show the slightest hint of desperation from her of really wanting to attend the event so as not to offend her cousin.

　　"Oh what stupid reason!" Julie acts gracious, "Don't worry, after this, we'll hunt down all the luxurious boutiques in the city so that we can find a good gown for you! It's my treat for you landing the job!"

　　"No no, cousin, you've done a lot of things for me If not even for your father and you, I don't

　　think Sy International could have accepted me", Lisa acts hesitant yet expectant deep inside. Another luxurious treat from her wealthy cousin! Who wouldn't want it?!

　　"Oh come on, you landed on the job because of your good qualifications! No more buts, we'll go after relaxing with our tea. So anyway, how come that aunt Vanessa invited you?"

　　Here goes the part of the deal. Lisa thought. Although she hates this now, seeing as she still needs her cousin's trust and support, Lisa could only do and fulfill her side of the bargain.

　　"Well, she came to the office earlier today. She looked angry when she arrived actually but when she came out, it's the contrary of her earlier mood. Even if she looked serious, I can still see the happiness in her eyes so I braved my way of assisting her to the President's private elevator."

　　Julie didn't cut off Lisa's and even listened intently, hating to miss any detail. Seeing the lack of response or further query from her cousin, Lisa continued.

　　The conversation only lasted for a few minutes because after all, the encounter was brief.

　　Julie on the other hand was thinking about the weirdness of the Sy madame. Why would she invite her cousin who was just a newbie to the company and not even knowing her background yet to a ball? If you have a personal assistant, it is still weird because Lisa was part of the company and it's not part of her job, professionalism wise.

　　She just couldn't understand the reason behind it all. And sensing as her cousin was telling the truth all the more made Julie curious.

　　If that's the case, then having Lisa attend the ball tomorrow evening would clear her confusion now. Her cousin is not yet a threat but Julie still made a mental note as she seemed to have established a connection with the Sy madam.

　　Veronica actually was already in her suite when Rawlf messaged her to be back early as he had something important to tell her. The word important actually made Veronica nervous and

　　scared.

　　Important? What does that mean?

　　Did he get tired of me now? Is he planning to tell me that our week's affair is over? And that he's breaking our ties off completely and properly??

　　But she hasn't noticed anything amiss from him. He was still warm and affectionate earlier this morning?

　　Veronica can't help but overthink and seeing as it will take Rawlf an hour before arriving, Veronica decided to call and check on her twins to relieve herself from overthinking. And maybe, prepare herself for the worst outcome of Rawlf's 'important talk'.

　　Veronica's video call was answered right at the first call tone. She smiled at the thought of her twins waiting and excited for her call and then, felt guilty as it seemed that she was being neglectful of them. Seeing both her twins' fluffy faces, Veronica had the urge to fly her way back to Country R just so she could kiss and hug both of them!
