Chapter 678 Here Comes Veronica (41)
After making the decision, Veronica didn't want to go to the Cordova Tower behind her to ask Raymond for clarification. Instead, she took the bus to the station which had regular buses leading to North
Mountain.
The bus to North Mountain was one in an hour.
When Veronica arrived, the bus to North Mountain had just set off. Veronica waited at the station for nearly an hour before the next bus arrived. She rushed to North Mountain on the bus.
The bus that went to North Mountain had to go through the mountain road, so it took more than an hour for the bus to arrive even though it was just 30 kilometers.
By the time Veronica arrived at the foot of North Mountain, it was already one in the afternoon.
After getting off the bus at the foot of North Mountain, Veronica found a snack shop and bought some food to fill her stomach before heading up the mountain.
For the protection of the environment of North Mountain, all the way from the foot of North Mountain to the top were steps, and there was no ropeway.
Climbers had to rely on their feet to the top.
Before Veronica was rushing up the mountain, the sun would occasionally appear in the sky. But after that, the clouds were getting thicker, and the wind was much stronger than when she left. Veronica was thinking about the reason why the wind suddenly became a bit stronger. Was it because it was about to rain, or because it was at the foot of the mountain?
She did not have time to think so much, and she just wanted to hurry to Summer Hut and get her book.
She would leave as soon as possible after she got her book.
After eating, Veronica began to climb the mountain.
Because the mountain road was steep, Veronica climbed for more than two hours. And it was only around half past three o'clock before she finally arrived near Summer Hut. From afar, she saw the hut and happily walked toward it.
Before she went to the hut, she saw a sign standing on the side. "No passage is allowed in the front."
Her book was in the hut, so Veronica didn't care so much and directly walked forward.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Very soon, Veronica arrived at Summer Hut.
She walked into the hut and saw her book, which was placed in the corner of the hut by Dora.
Veronica happily held the book in her arms.
The book was finally found.
Veronica began to think about how she should leave as she glanced around the hut.
This hut was not as terrifying as the rumors said. When she came to the mountain top, she immediately found this hut.
At that moment, there were already more clouds in the sky.
If she rushed down the mountain now, she should be able to rush back to the Cordova family's villa before six o'clock.
If she couldn't rush back to the villa before six o'clock, Raymond would probably be angry again.
And she still had something she hadn't asked Raymond about. After she returned, she wanted to find Raymond and ask if Raymond was intentionally obstructing her from finding a part-time job. After Veronica got the book, she began to walk along the old path.
The exit seemed to be right in front of her. But when Veronica walked to it, her expression suddenly changed.
Because, when she thought she had reached the exit, she suddenly realized that the place she had walked out of was not the exit, but the place she had just walked.
How could this be?
She remembered she walked in from here. But after she came out, why was this not the exit?
Veronica clenched the book in her hand and planned to continue walking toward the place she thought was the exit.
An hour later, Veronica stood somewhere while sweating profusely.
But she had yet to find the exit.
A hint of anxiety rose in her heart.
The sky had darkened. The sky, which was supposed to be dark at around five o'clock, suddenly turned dark. It made Veronica unable to distinguish the scenery around her. Veronica's anxiety grew stronger.
She didn't know what to do.
She took out her cell phone and wanted to make a call. But when she took out her cell phone, Veronica was desperate.
There was no signal on her cell phone.
How could she call if there was no signal?
Regardless of whether there was a signal or not, she kept trying to call for help.
As time passed, the hope in Veronica's heart gradually extinguished.
It was seven in the evening.
Raymond returned to his villa from the Cordova Group.
Because it was raining at night when Raymond came in from the villa, his shoes brought in many dirty footprints.
After entering the villa, Raymond shouted, "Veronica. Veronica? Come here and wipe the footprints on the ground."
But after Raymond shouted a few times, Veronica, who usually came out immediately after hearing his shout, did not respond.
"Veronica, where are you? Are you deaf? If you don't show up, I will dock your pay."
But no one responded. Raymond continued, "I'm counting on three. Three, two, one."
Not long after, Marie came out instead of Veronica.
When Marie saw Raymond, she said, "Mr. Cordova, stop shouting. Veronica is not in the villa."
After hearing Marie say this, Raymond frowned.
"She isn't in the villa?"
Marie answered, "Yes, she hasn't returned yet."
Raymond thought that Veronica didn't come to the villa because she had found a part-time job. And Raymond thought that Veronica had forgotten that she was still a servant of the Cordova family. When he thought of this, Raymond became furious.
Raymond's face darkened as he said, "Marie, call Veronica immediately and ask her to return to the villa as soon as possible. If I can't see her within an hour, I will deduct her salary."
Marie was a little worried. "I also wanted to call her because she didn't bring an umbrella. I have been worried about her. But her cell phone could not get through, and she didn't call back." Raymond looked at Marie doubtfully. "What did you say? Her cell phone can't get through?"
Marie answered, "Yes."
Raymond thought for a moment and picked up his cell phone to call Veronica.
As Marie had said, Veronica's call had always been unable to be connected.
Raymond turned to look at Marie. "Marie, did she tell you which translation office she works in?"
Marie looked at Raymond warily. "Mr. Cordova. What do you want to do? It isn't easy for her to find this part-time job. Are you thinking of..."
Raymond glanced at Marie indifferently. "Even if you don't say it, I can find it tomorrow. I will still make a move if I want to. What company will make the employees working on the first-day work overtime so late? Tell me immediately what company it is."
After hearing Raymond's words, Marie told Raymond the translation firm's name.
Raymond immediately got someone to find out the number of the person in charge of the translation firm and then called the person in charge.
When Raymond finished the call, Marie asked, "How is it?"
Raymond narrowed his eyes. "They said that Veronica left in the morning without signing the contract because the person in charge found out Veronica's identity."
