Chapter 106 - Mute Person... (2/2)

Neil looked at her in an intimidated way like he was trying to say something but his face betrayed the expression of his eyes.

Willa felt some heated gaze on her from Neil but when she gazed at him, he immediately lowered his eyes. So shaking her head, Willa left the café before taking some Irish coffee for Veronica.

Creation..

Veronica was sitting in Louis's office at lunch break with her hand resting on the table as she played with her hair with other hand. She was waiting for Louis to say something as he sat in his chair with a nervous look on his face.

Louis had called Veronica earlier to have lunch with him in his office, hinting her that he had something very important to tell her. But even after ten minutes had passed, he hadn't opened his mouth which made Veronica frustrated as hell.

”Are you even gonna say something? You are making me really angry by behaving like a mute person.” Veronica gritted her teeth in annoyance.

Louis gulped his saliva and cleared his throat before stuttering, ”I.. actually.. as you know that Brown Corporation had made a request to work with us earlier. So now I thought of scheduling the appointment tomorrow.”

”Okay. So what now?” Veronica asked before taking a bite of her sandwich.

”Uh.. the thing is that I want you to handle the project.” Louis said almost in one breath.

Veronica instantly stared at him in disbelief in her eyes. Taking the whole thing in her mind, Veronica finally contemplated what Louis exactly meant.

And then the heater in her brain immediately turned on and she spat in rage, ”What the hell do you mean by I have to handle the project. You know that I work in VFX department. Then why would I work for the animation?”

Louis again gulped in fear as he muttered in a very low voice, ”Relax Vero. Come on, drink this water to cool yourself. And try to understand.”

Veronica took the glass that Louis handed to her and drank half of the water in it before nodding her head to tell him to continue.

Taking a deep breath, Louis started his speech which he literally memorised line by line a little while ago, ”You are the CEO of Creation. So you have the biggest upper hand in everything. But you also know it that the animation department is currently busy with our upcoming animated movie so they would not be able to make this. So I don't have any other person without you right at that moment because you are the best in everything. And we can't even deny the project because we already confirmed an appointment with them so refusal is not an option now. Please Vero. .think about it. You can take your own time and tell me.”

Veronica nodded her head before looking at Louis before saying in seriousness, ”Sometimes it feels like you are the Boss here where I'm just your employee.” Veronica muttered in a mocking way.

After quite a while, they both burst into laughter when Veronica interrupted, ”Okay I'll think about this project and when I can finally fix my mind, I'll tell you.”

”Okay.” Louis found a sigh of relief at the mention that Veronica would at least think about it and laid back on his chair after Veronica left.
