A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Eric was a very warm person. After greeting Veronica, he politely turned to Raymond and bowed. "Hello, I'm Eric. Nice to see you!" Raymond made no answer.

Veronica stood aside and coughed lightly. She smoothed her hair with her fingers uneasily and looked awkwardly in Raymond's direction. She really didn't dare to look straight into Raymond's eyes at this moment.

Although she didn't see Raymond's expression, a cold chill ran down her spine, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Seeing that Raymond ignored what he said, Eric didn't give up and continued to speak in a gentle and tactful voice, "I once met your niece, Veronica, at University A. I thought she was a high school student before. I didn't expect that she was actually a senior student at University A."

'What? He had seen me at University A before? Why did I not have any impression of him at all?'

Veronica turned her face to the side and met Raymond's cold gaze unexpectedly. She pretended not to hear what Eric said and looked away.

Meanwhile, Eric continued to speak smilingly without knowing what was happening, "Ever since I saw you last time, I then realized why your daughter looked so young. It turns out that she is genetically predisposed to look much younger."

Eric thought he was flattering Raymond, but to Raymond, it was totally a different thing.

'Is he an idiot?'

Veronica quietly turned around and walked to Raymond. Under his intimidating gaze, Veronica lowered her head and touched her nose guiltily. "Well... Mr. Cordova, maybe... We can leave first!" She lowered her head all the time as she spoke, so she didn't know what Raymond looked like at that time. Anyway, she just felt that Raymond's eyes that were staring at her face were very cold. Raymond didn't answer her but asked Eric in a low voice.

"May I know where you are currently working?" Raymond said with rare patience.

Veronica, who was standing next to Raymond, suddenly had an alarm in her head.

Hearing what Raymond said, Veronica immediately realized what would happen to Eric next.

Although Eric was a little dull and stupid, he was still a good person who worked hard. If he was targeted by Raymond... Veronica was a little apprehensive about the effects of what Eric had said. Veronica felt sorry for Eric in her heart. She smiled and turned her head. And again, her beautiful smile amazed Eric.

"Well, we still need to buy some things! Let's go over there!" Veronica said and pushed Raymond to leave in front of Eric.

She gave a push on Raymond, but Raymond still stood there steadily.

Eric and Raymond both ignored Veronica. Eric looked at Raymond in surprise and said truthfully, "I'm currently working in the Planning Department of the Cordova Group. I have a steady job, and the leaders also feel satisfied with me."

'The Cordova Group?'

Veronica frowned slightly.

"What a coincidence!'

She rubbed her forehead and sighed softly. Eric was too enthusiastic, and she really had no idea what to do now.

"The Cordova Group?" Raymond narrowed his eyes.

"Yes!" Eric nodded repeatedly. "I'm still in my internship period, but I'll work very hard to become a full member!"

Veronica really wanted to get out of this awkward situation at this time. She quickly left to buy vegetables and fruits.

It only took her a few minutes to get the things she wanted to buy because most of the things she picked were already packaged.

When she returned to the side of the shopping cart, she found that Raymond was not there, but Eric was still standing in the same place waiting for her.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing Veronica return, Eric helped her put things in the shopping cart.

Eric noticed that Veronica was looking for Raymond. He smiled and said, "Your father just went to make a call. He'll be back soon."

'Make a call?'

Veronica immediately gave Eric a sympathetic look, and she felt a little bit guilty in her heart. After all... It was all because of her. Raymond had already walked over from not far away. He was very tall and straight, looking pretty outstanding in the crowd.

He held the phone in his hand and looked not as sullen as before.

Veronica once again looked at Eric with sympathy. She said with guilt, "Mr. Keith, I'm sorry!"

"Why did you suddenly say that? By the way, may I know your name?" Eric took the initiative to try for a chance to make friends with Veronica. Veronica glanced at Raymond and turned to explain, "I think there is no need for you to know my name, because... I already have a boyfriend." A disappointed look came to Eric's eyes.

"You... You already have..." Eric gazed at Veronica in disbelief and stammered with difficulty, "You have a boyfriend?"

"Yes, sorry. I gotta go now!" Veronica nodded politely and left quickly.

Before leaving, Veronica heard Eric's phone ring. Eric answered the phone.

Then, Eric shouted in surprise, "What? I was fired?"

Veronica pushed the shopping cart to Raymond's side, and Eric behind her didn't come over.

After knowing that the girl he liked already had a boyfriend, Eric lost his job. Veronica knew that he wouldn't appear in front of her again in the future.

Veronica glared at Raymond, who looked very calm.

"I just heard Eric answer the phone. He was fired by the Cordova Group. I know you did it!" Veronica said very certainly.

As expected, just as she finished speaking, Raymond snorted lightly and spoke in a calm tone, "I was just telling the personnel manager how to choose excellent employees!" This was indirectly admitting that it was he who did it.

Veronica had to admit that Raymond was indeed a jealous man, and what she had said about him before was absolutely right.

Raymond and Veronica then went together to the checkout. Veronica wanted to pay the bill, but Raymond snatched her wallet away and paid the bill with his money.

Veronica didn't bother to compete with him.

All she wanted now was to go home as soon as possible.

They pushed the shopping cart and got off the elevator on the first floor of the basement. They were heading to the car and planning to put the things in the trunk first, but... When they arrived next to the car, there were more than a dozen people standing there.

Those people were all dressed in an odd assortment of clothes. Moreover, on the back of their left hands, they all had tattoos of a black snake.

Veronica remembered that those who kidnapped her last night also had similar tattoos on the back of their hands.

Seeing those tattoos, Veronica couldn't help but recall the memories of the last night. Her eyes burned with anger.

She had seen gangsters fighting before, and from the shape of their slightly bulging chests, Veronica was sure that the weapons under their clothes were definitely not knives.

Although she was angry, Veronica still didn't dare to act rashly. After all, she didn't want to be a target.
