Chapter 144 - Determination to protect your relation... (1/2)

Next day morning, Veronica got up from the bed very late. It was the first day she woke up from her sleep so late after coming to city B as it was already 11 am...

Actually, she slept very late yesterday night after crying her soul out, mourning over those insulting words that were thrown to her by her best friend and just slept around 2 a.m...

Getting up from the bed she stretched out her body to get rid of all the sleepiness and yawned loudly.

Rubbing her eyes with her fingers, she checked her phone and saw many missed calls from her childhood best friend, Lucinda.

Immediately calling her back, she talked for some minutes with Lucinda about their daily gossips.

”So I met Reuben yesterday in a party and he told me that you are going to stay another two weeks there.” Lucinda said finishing their gossip session.

”Yup. I was thinking about doing so. But now I am in middle of changing my decision to come back home earlier.” Veronica said twirling her hair around her index finger.

Lucinda jumped in happiness and said excitedly, ”Oh.. Niccy.. Don't think too much about it. Just come back soon. I'm missing you like crazy. Willa and Louis already told me that they are returning on the weekend.”

Veronica laughed hearing the cheering voice of her friend and said, ”Okay.. I'll try to. Now bye. I'm very much hungry. So let me eat my brunch first. Talk to you later.”

”Yeah. Bye. And please come back before this week ends..” Lucinda said before cutting the call.

Walking towards the kitchen, Veronica made garlic bread and some chicken soup before filling up her already empty stomach. Finishing up, she washed the dishes and then headed towards her bedroom again...

Taking a chair from her living room, she sat beside the window and stared at the scenery before her. She played some music on her laptop and listened to it, contemplating about the matter of her return.

As she had already eaten so late, she hadn't anymore appetite so she kept sitting there till 4 pm without caring about the world...

Finally determining what should she do, she picked up her phone and dialed her father's number.

”Hi princess.” Mr. Lopez, Veronica's father greeted his daughter after receiving the call.

”Hey Dad.. I have called you for an important matter today.” Veronica said.

Mr. Lopez who was currently in a meeting right now, waved his wand towards his vice-president and other directors, motioning them to wait for a few minutes so that he could talk to his daughter.

”Yes Princess. Tell me what you want. I'm all ears.” Mr. Lopez said with a frown on his face, pondering about what happened in B City that Veronica had to call so urgently.

Veronica understood clearly by her father's voice that he was being overly tensed about her whereabouts, so she tried to calm down his nerve, ”Dad... Don't stress out too much. Even the news I'm going to give you, will make you jump in joy.”

Now, Mr. Lopez was out of his stress but extremely excited what his daughter was going to say...

He was thinking internally, 'Did my princess get any boyfriend there? No... How could that be possible. She said that hearing the news I'll be happy.??

But if she would get a boyfriend, in spite of being happy, my mood would definitely turn sour. After all my daughter is still so little to have a boyfriend. I can't let any other man be close to her, she is still mine to pamper...

Nowadays boys are really big devils. They just love to play with innocent hearts of the girls. And I don't want my little princess to get hurt by those evil men. I'll protect her from them. Yes, I definitely will.'

”Dad, are you listening to what I'm saying? Veronica asked in little loud voice to break his father's trance and letting him come back to the earth again.

”Huh? What did you say princess?” Mr. Lopez came out of his dreamland and asked in embarrassment when he got caught by his daughter open handedly...

Veronica shook her head at her father's inattentiveness and said, ”Dad. I want to go back home as soon as possible. Please book a flight ticket for two days later.”

”Really? You are coming back home?” Mr. Lopez shouted in joy, making his subordinates jumped in fear for his over raised voice..

But when they noticed the big smile lingering on his face, they relaxed that it was not any bad omen otherwise they would surely fall in trouble today.

Laughing at her father, she said, ”Yes Dad. I'll be back home in two days. Please tell assistant uncle to book the flight and when it gets confirmed, inform me..”

”Fight booking isn't important princess. If you want I can arrange my private jet for you right now. But I know you won't allow me to do so... So I'll book your ticket right at this moment.” Mr. Lopez told his daughter, knowing about her very well.
