Chapter 62 - Like a Tigress… (1/2)

As she spoke with Willa, Veronica's beautiful brows furrowed and later her lips curved into a devilish smile.

Talking for quite a while, when she turned around to leave the place, she suddenly knocked into someone..

Veronica's head got bumped onto a hard chest of a sturdy figure. The man was wearing a brown suit, while a masculine scent of him approached Veronica's nose..

The man hold the upper arm of Veronica to stop her from falling on the carpeted floor. Then his heavy voice came into her ears, ”You should look behind before you turn around to walk..”

Frowning at the sudden lecture from an unknown person, Veronica steadied herself to look at the stranger. She was about to scold the unknown man but when her eyes finally landed on the person, she took some steps behind to make a distance between both of them.

”I am sorry to not notice you.” Veronica apologized.

Alonzo's lips made a curve as he continued to stare at her. He then casually said, ”You really didn't change your habit of bumping into anyone without noticing.”

Veronica raised her eyebrows at him, ”Excuse me? Are you saying this to me? Do I know you from before?”

Alonzo smirked, ”You tell..”

Getting irritated by the man's idiotic behavior, Veronica rolled her eyes and replied, ”Well, according to my memory, we haven't.. That's why you don't know anything about me. So don't ever try to made blatant assumption about me. I don't like this kind of people.”

Simpering coldly, Alonzo said, ”But you did like me once..”

Veronica who already passed by him to return back in the hall, paused in her step.

Turning towards Alonzo, she asked angrily, ”What do you mean?”

Alonzo slowly walked towards her and stopped right in front of her. Tucking his hand into his pants' pockets, he studied her small face and grumbled, ”I must say your acting skills got better. Now you are pretending to not know me!!”

This time, Veronica's resisting power got ruined and she shouted furiously, ”Listen Mr. Brown.. Don't cross your limit. If you again try to say any bad words about me then…”

Before she could complete her sentence, Alonzo burst out laughing as he said, ”Oh my God.. Miss Lopez.. You are misunderstanding me. You forget, some days ago, you got collided with a man in front of Fusion... and that person was none other than me. I just wanted to remind you that. But you.. Hahaha.. you literally yelled at me like a tigress.. hahaha..”

Veronica looked at him confusedly and then she remembered the incident and sighed, ”Oh.. That person was you..”

”Yes. And sorry if I said something rude. Actually I like to joke very much.” Alonzo expressed still chuckling.

Veronica looked at him suspiciously but didn't say anything.

Alonzo then spoke, ”I saw you were calling someone. Is it done?”

Nodding at him, Veronica said, ” Yes. And now I've to leave. My family is waiting for me in the hall.”
