She called home and knew from Marie that Raymond also went to a party and wouldn&#8217;t come home for dinner. Thus, Veronica agreed to join her collogues for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Because the profit of the translation firm soared this month, the boss of the firm, Augustine Fleming, was raptured and invited the important staff member to have a dinner party at a five-star hotel.<\/p>\n<p>After entering the hotel, Veronica&#8217;s colleagues were all mesmerized by the splendid interior decoration of the hotel and never stopped praising it.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica&#8217;s father used to run a company. Before Veronica&#8217;s parents divorced, her mother often brought Veronica to a five-star hotel to eat. Veronica was familiar with the interior design of a five-star hotel, so she was as wonderstruck as her colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>Augustine went to the front desk and booked a room. Then he went to the hall to greet the staff members.<\/p>\n<p>When Augustine walked to Veronica, he gently placed his palm on Veronica&#8217;s back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Veronica, I booked a room. Shall we go?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After his voice trailed off, he withdrew his hand.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica could feel the warmth of his palm, but it didn&#8217;t last long. Therefore, she believed that Augustine only touched her waist by accident and was not offended by it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, Mr. Fleming!&#8221; Veronica nodded.<\/p>\n<p>In Augustine&#8217;s opinion, Veronica&#8217;s reaction seemed to be more than just a refusal. It was like she was giving him consent. So, Augustine started ogling Veronica.<\/p>\n<p>Just as Veronica followed Augustine and others to the elevator, a few people came in from outside.<\/p>\n<p>There was Raymond, his assistant, his secretary, and a director of the Cordova Group&#8217;s PR Department.<\/p>\n<p>Raymond&#8217;s left arm was injured. In order to hide the plaster on his arm, Raymond specially wore a loose shirt and draped the suit on his shoulder, covering his entire left arm under the suit.<\/p>\n<p>When Raymond and others appeared, Veronica&#8217;s colleagues exclaimed in surprise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ah, look, that is Raymond. Raymond Cordova!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It really is him. I didn&#8217;t expect to see him here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Veronica heard her colleagues discussing Raymond and frowned.<\/p>\n<p>What was going on? Why did Raymond happen to come to this hotel?<\/p>\n<p>Veronica subconsciously looked over and saw a man surrounded by several Cordova Group employees and bodyguards.<\/p>\n<p>Raymond&#8217;s suit pants were well-ironed. The suit jacket was draped over his shoulders, so no one could tell that his left arm was covered in a cast. His face was chiseled. His body was tall and straight. His posture was extremely elegant as if he was a prince in the movies.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica looked at Raymond and knitted her brows.<\/p>\n<p>Raymond looked completely different from when he was at home. The person in front of her was noble and gentle, but the person at home was cold and unapproachable.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica was surprised when she heard the people around her discussing Raymond.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is this Raymond very famous? Why do you all know him?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A female colleague immediately rolled her eyes at Veronica and said, &#8220;Don&#8217;t tell me you don&#8217;t know who Raymond is?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Veronica was confused.<\/p>\n<p>Especially Bryson and his wife, they loved each other very much, which made Veronica very envious.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica once decided that if she could not become a diplomat, she would work hard to get into the Cordova Group&#8217;s Department of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, when Veronica realized that Raymond was the current CEO, she completely lost interest in the Cordova Group.<\/p>\n<p>Veronica muttered in a low voice as Raymond passed by.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dream guy? He is just a scum!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Veronica thought that Raymond couldn&#8217;t hear her complaint.<\/p>\n<p>But, Raymond had exceptionally good hearing. He heard every single word that Veronica said.<\/p>\n<p>When Veronica finished speaking, she felt a pair of cold eyes staring at the back of her head, which immediately sent shivers down her spine.<\/p>\n<p>She just spoke ill of Raymond. Did he hear what she just said?<\/p>\n<p>Knowing that Raymond was right behind her, Veronica did not dare to turn back.<\/p>\n<p>However, the woman standing in front of Veronica held Veronica&#8217;s hand and yelled excitedly, &#8220;Veronica, Veronica, Raymond is looking over. He must be looking at me. Oh, my&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Veronica watched her colleague go crazy and felt even more guilty.<\/p>\n<p>The woman screamed again, &#8220;Ah, Raymond is coming over. He is coming. He must have taken a fancy to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Veronica didn&#8217;t know what to say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3985","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
