Chapter 5 - 5. The Mysterious Man… (2/2)
Lucinda tensed up because of the outburst of her friend, then she tried to cool down Veronica, ”Niccy please don't be angry. You know why I'm doing all these. After all tomorrow will be the time when I'll meet my prince charming after one month. You already know that he went out of the country for a business trip and came back just one week ago. But I couldn't meet him because of his so called busy schedule. So I want to impress him tomorrow by looking gorgeous. Now I want to see, how long he will try to avoid me. Hmph!!!”
Listening to Lucinda's cute nagging Veronica gave a chuckle and said, ” Yup, now I understand for whom the great Miss Wilson is trying so hard to dress up. So now tell me how do you want me to help you.”
”Nothing much baby, just help me to select a beautiful dress for tomorrow. I'm sending you the pictures of those three dresses.”
After receiving the pictures Veronica scrutinized each and every dress carefully. First one was a knee length black gown which has a turtle neck with long sleeves. Second one was a yellow V-neck long dress with a belt on the waist part and a beautiful lace flower was embroidered on the left chest. And the last one was a sea green A-line off shoulder dress which has a perfect slit on the left leg and a ribbon was present there to tie it around the neck. Without wasting any more time Veronica told Lucinda to wear the last one which she easily accepted as it was her favorite too.
”Thank you sweetie. You are the best. I was also thinking to wear this one. So let's see each other tomorrow. Bye now.”
Finishing the call, Veronica went downstairs for dinner. After a heartful dinner she went back to her room and locked the door. Taking some night clothes with her, she entered the bathroom. After a relaxing bath she came out and started to do her daily skincare routine. When she was rubbing some moisturizer on her legs; her phone buzzed again indicating the arrival of a new message. She sat on her bed resting her head on the headboard and covered herself with a blanket. But when she opened the message she flushed with anger.
The massage was, ” Have you already forgotten about me?”
”Who forgot about whom? Isn't it the question I should ask you instead Mr. ??” Veronica questioned back.
”How can I forget about the person who keeps my mind flooded with her memories.” The Man replied.
”Yeah, whatever!! If you didn't forget about me, then you would at least call me after coming back from your so called business trip.” Veronica gritted her teeth out of anger.
”Your face is flushing red with anger now. It's looking really red as a tomato. Cool down baby otherwise it'll be not good for your health.” The man messaged.
Reading the message, Veronica's lips curled up in a beautiful smile thinking how could he understand her so much even when he was not with her; he could easily describe her facial expressions.
” if you don't want my health to get worsen up then let me sleep. Good night.” Then she switched off her phone and slept off.
On the other side, the man gave out a gentle chuckle and murmured lowly, ” Good night love. We'll meet tomorrow. I can't wait to see you after so many days.” Then he also kept his phone aside and drifted off to sleep.
