Chapter 120 - Little less perceiving... (1/2)
Reuben picked up Veronica from her office and both of them left for their home. He noticed that the stress she was feeling earlier today was all gone...
Sitting in the car, Veronica looked at his side-face as she placed her hand over his arm, resting her head on his shoulder.
”Thanks Bennie..” She whispered closing her eyes.
Reuben was perplexed at her sudden gratitude thing as he asked, ”Why thanks?”
”For everything.” Veronica replied in just two words, still keeping her eyes closed.
”You are not answering me properly Ica.” Reuben said as he kissed her hair before focusing again on the road.
Veronica tilted her head up, kissing his jaw, she said, ”Thanks for calling my dad to visit me today.”
When she saw the shocked expression on Reuben's face, she giggled before resting her head on his shoulder again as she continued, ”I know very well that you told Dad to visit me in my office. Because no one except you knew that I was a little stressed out and moreover you can't see me sad at all. So who could be other than you to call him?”
”And my Dad understand it very well that I want to stay humble as much as I can so he wouldn't suddenly interfere in my professional life by coming at my office if it is not so important.”
Reuben looked at her amusedly and chuckled before stating, ”Can't you be a little less perceiving?”
Grinning widely, Veronica denied, ”No. I can't after all I love you so much.”
Smiling to himself, Reuben sped his car to their home..
Sweet home…

The next day at Smith Enterprise…
Reuben entered his office and unbuttoned his suit jacket before sitting on his swivel chair. He looked at his watch and it was only 9 am as he had his first meeting today at 10.
He called for Tom as soon as he saw that he had enough time to interrogate him about his research which he gave him yesterday.
”You called for me, Boss?” Tom entered with a file in his hands.
”Yeah. Have you found anything yet?” Reuben asked directly without beating around the bushes..
Tom looked at the file in his hand and gave it to Reuben, ”Yes Boss.”
