Chapter 107 - Very Confusing... (1/2)

Love-Paradise…

It was already over 9 pm when the two love birds were busy sitting in the living room, watching some movies on TV.

Veronica's head was resting on Reuben's shoulder and his chin was on her head. He was holding her by her waist while Veronica kept her hand on his thigh supporting her balance.

There was a comedy scene playing which made Reuben laugh which resulted his chest to vibrate because of the laughter. But on the other side, Veronica was awfully silent which made Reuben paused in his laugh as he looked at the girl in his embrace with furrowed brows.

Normally, if there was a funny scene like this, Veronica could not stop her from laughing like crazy but she was now all silent. It was confusing to him.. very confusing..

”Babe.. what happened?” Reuben asked as he rubbed her shoulder lightly.

Veronica tilted her head up to gaze at his eyes and then again rested her head on his shoulder. As Reuben was going to say something Veronica stopped him.

”Honey, today Louis asked me to handle the project of our new client, Brown Corporation.” Veronica mumbled as she played with his fingers.

Reuben's body stiffened at this but he immediately made himself relaxed. He feigned an act like he didn't know anything about these things as he said, ”But baby, I can't see any problem in this.”

Veronica sighed and looked up at him again, ”Bennie, the thing is that it's an animation project and there will be some works of graphics too. And I'm the head of the VFX department.”

”So what baby? You are a pro at everything. I don't see anything impossible for you.” Reuben tried to make her agree.

Sighing again, Veronica replied, ”Babe. I know that. But you know I already have many VFX projects in my plate right now. So I can't take any new ones right now.”

Reuben stroked her forehead to ease her furrowed brows and muttered calmly, ”Ica. Look baby. You can give those projects to your subordinates and handle this new one yourself. After all, how much I know Brown Corporation is a good business company and they can be a good client to you.”

Veronica narrowed her eyes at him in suspision and asked, ”Bennie, are you hiding something from me? Why do I feel like that you are forcing me to work into this project? You never forced me into anything, even you always nag me to work less so that I can't stress more. But this time.. this time you are acting surreal. Exactly what's going on your mind!” she gave him a death glare.

Reuben gulped in nervousness as he knew that if he didn't make any proper excuse right now, then Veronica would catch his plan in a minute and then it would be his doomsday.
