Chapter 115 - Played with my feelings... (1/2)

Reuben internally laughed at her reaction and asked, ”Oh. Miss Lopez. Why are you behaving so unprofessionally? Calm down your anger. I'm not a lion who will eat you.” He gave her a naughty wink at the end of the sentence which didn't go unnoticed by Louis and Willa as they controlled themselves from letting out a huge laugh.

They exactly knew what Reuben mean by the two words... 'eat you'... which was totally on a savage part so their mind couldn't help but getting wilder with the thought.

Veronica threw him daggers at him through her eyes but didn't continue on this topic because she knew if she did then someone might get killed today by her hands.

They started the meeting and signed the contracts. Veronica took the blueprints from Bill and discussed with Alonzo and Louis about the whole planning.

Reuben hadn't said anything but just kept his eyes focused on Veronica as he cared less about the meeting. When Veronica felt a gaze on her, she moved her eyes on him sometimes and gave him a cold glare.

After the meeting finished, everyone went out the office. Veronica was left behind to shut off her laptop and Reuben deliberately slowed down his footsteps.

She was about to step out of the door when Reuben took the chance to pinch her waist, earning a glare from her.

He whispered in her ears, ”Love the surprise, baby?” before stealing a kiss near her ear.

Veronica didn't answer him instead she stepped on his foot hard, making him groan in pain.

The close proximity of them caught the eyes of Alonzo. Though he didn't see Reuben kissing her, he thought that they were fighting among themselves but still the closeness of them bothered him a little.

Not a little actually.. but very much…

He suppressed the jealousy he was feeling and reminded himself that it was about few more days when Veronica would be in his arms and no man would dare to look at her... let alone touch her...

While they were leaving the hallway, Tom got a call of emergency in his office so Reuben had to rush back but he didn't forget to blow a kiss to Veronica secretly which made Veronica cool down a little as a smile crept on her face.

Truthfully saying, actually she was also very much excited to work with Reuben beside her so that she could spend more time with him. But the perspective that made her angry was that she was unknown to all of those plans that Reuben and Louis had brewed together.

”Willa, do one thing. You give Mr. Bill the layout of our previous projects so that they could get an idea an idea of our works.” Veronica said.

Willa nodded her head and led Bill to her office so that he could give him the hard copies.

Louis also excused himself as he had an important meeting with a client. So now it was only Alonzo and Veronica who were present there.

Alonzo kept looking at her which made Veronica a little bit uncomfortable.

Couldn't stand holding herself anymore, she asked, ”Do you have something to say to me Mr. Brown?”
