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

”How long are you gonna keep up with this pretending?” Alonzo asked back stopping himself in front of her.

”What do you mean?” Veronica's eyebrows furrowed when he heard the sudden question.

Alonzo let out a mocking laugh and said, ”You really don't know what I mean? I didn't know that you would be such a good actor.”

Being already angry on the previous circumstances, Veronica's anger grew high up on her head and she said in a very cold voice, ”Mr. Brown if this is some kind of joke like last time then I would prefer you to drop it. Otherwise it'll be not good for you if you keep on insulting me like this.”

Alonzo gritted his teeth when he saw that she still was not admitting the truth, ”To your dismay, this time I'm not joking. But seems like you took me like a joke. You played with my feelings five years ago and now pretending not to know me.”

Getting confused at what Alonzo was saying, Veronica tried to calm herself from bursting out at him, ”First of all, I met you for the first time at your company's inauguration party. So I don't know what are you talking about that happened five years ago? And second of all, you don't have any right to talk to me like this.” She pointed a finger at him.

Alonzo grabbed her finger in his right palm which instantly made Veronica narrowed her eyes and Alonzo smirked at her reaction.

”Oh. You met me for the first time in my party? Really? Can you please stop lying to me anymore?” Alonzo sarcastically said.

”Enough is enough Mr. Brown. You can't insult me like this that even standing in my office.” Veronica warned him, her eyes was burning ,hot in anger.

Alonzo left her finger and instead hold her shoulder with both of his hands and scowled, ”If you met me recently then what about the time we spent together in city B?”

The name of the city instantly brought up many memories of her new friend that she met there and later became extremely close but she couldn't remember any Alonzo Brown that she met there...

”City B?” she asked in a deep thought.

Gripping her shoulder more tightly, nearly making Veronica flinched in pain, Alonzo was about to say something when they heard footsteps near them.

Alonzo let her go while Veronica stood there confusedly, still trying to remember anything about him but her mind was completely blank about the name Alonzo.

Willa and Bill reached them and Alonzo left Creation with his assistant.

Before leaving, Alonzo stopped in his track and told Veronica with a fake smile on his face, ”I hope Miss Lopez will think about what I've said her earlier.”

Veronica stared at his back until his silhouette was no more there to see and this got Willa's attention.

”Anything happened Vero?” Willa asked her calling her name as she knew that there was no one present there in the hallway.

Veronica turned her face towards her and replied unattentively, ”No… nothing.”
