Chapter 135 - First day in city B... (1/2)

”Babe.. You told me that you and Alonzo were friends in the past but you didn't tell me the details. I need to know everything about him to solve the riddle about him. So I need you to tell me every single incident that occurred there in city B after you landed your first step there five and half years ago…” Reuben said playing with her fingers.

Leaving a sigh, Veronica looked at his eyes and nodded her head at him…

Closing her eyes for a moment, she waved her mind back to the past reminiscing about the day she first stepped out of the airport of city B….

*FLASHBACK*…

Five and half years ago…

A twenty year old girl in a simple jeans and yellow t-shirt with a high ponytail got out of the airport of B city. She was wearing a rounded sunglass to protect her gorgeous dark brown eyes from the scorching heat of the sun..

A big luggage bag was with her and she was talking on her phone, ”Yes Dad, I just arrived here. Don't worry, I already saw the car you sent for me. But dad, don't forget that I want to stay as low-key as possible.”

”You know princess, I even not wanted to let you go there all alone. But your insistence made me change my decision. Now you're not even allowing me to leave bodyguards behind you and you are also not taking any special privileges from me.

Now tell me, what should I do to make sure that you are safe and sound?? You are my little princess Vero... so of course I would be overprotective and tensed about you.” Mr. Lopez tried to reason with his daughter.

Veronica sighed and said, ”Dad I know how much you love me. But you need to understand that I'm a big girl now. I can take care of myself and if some problems occur, I'll call you immediately.”

”You promise to do that.. right?””

”I promise Dad.” Veronica said entering the car..

One hour later, she reached the small apartment she had requested her father to rent. Mr. Lopez wanted her to live in a big penthouse there but he couldn't win in argument with his daughter… So he let her do what she wanted..

It was a small apartment, consisted with one bedroom, a single bathroom, a kitchen with a small living room. It was not at all suitable for any wealthy person to live here without any luxuries.

But who was this… it was Veronica Lopez who loves to lead a simple life and wanted to enjoy the six months of her staying here alone, like a normal middle class girl. She didn't want to boost her family's power in city B because she only wished to study here without any disturbance…

Getting in the apartment, she made some omelette and toast as her mother already made sure that her fridge and kitchen cabinets would be full with food and utensils for her necessities..

Eating her food, she unpacked her suitcase and went in her bedroom to surf through the internet about city B. She already had enough of information about the city so she decided to visit a café in the evening.

As it was already noon she decided to sleep a little bit first, before going for some coffee outside..
