Chapter 147 - A secret only for today...’ (1/2)

”Are you sure you don't want me to come?” Reuben asked in the phone.

”I'm very much sure about it. Moreover, if you come with me, that plan will be a big flop which I really don't want. I can't risk Willa's heart to be broken for that bastard.” Veronica described her point of view to Reuben.

Reuben sighed and said, ”As you wish. But if you face any problem then I'm just one call away. Remember that..”

Veronica felt contented at Reuben's caring words as she replied, ”Okay.. my cutie pie. Now gotta go. Bye...”

”I'll pick you up from Fusion.. Bye...” Reuben said.

Fusion…

Both Willa and Veronica reached there half an hour later and waited for Lucinda to join them too...

”Hey guys..” Lucinda yelled from far in a jolly voice, snatching people's attention to her.

She then ran to her friends and hugged them tightly, asking, ”Why hadn't you gone inside?”

”Just waiting for you.” Willa replied.

”So now that I've come, let's go inside.” Lucinda said cheerfully.

Willa scratched her neck and said blushingly, ”You guys go inside first. I'll be waiting for Sam here.”

Lucinda and Veronica both looked at each other and then left Willa there..

Heading inside, they seated themselves in a private room when Lucinda asked, ”I can't wait to punch that bastard on his face and kick him on his butt.”

Veronica laughed hearing her, ”The feeling is mutual Lucy. So you know nah, what you have to do today??”

”Of course Niccy. You know that I'm good at acting.. Right??” She winked at Veronica making her laugh.

Meanwhile, Willa entered the private room holding Sam's hand. They saw them and welcome them to sit in front of of them...

Settling themselves on their seat, Sam said, ”Hello girls nice to meet you. If you don't mind then today will be my treat..”

”Hey Sam. We heard so much about you. And it's okay if you want to pay after all we should take full advantage of having such a sweet future brother-in-law.” Veronica said sarcastically which was only got noticed by Lucinda as she tried to hide her smile.

Sam didn't mind it much and called the waiter to order dinner for everyone. They talked freely with each other asking casual questions..

In middle of  their conversation, Sam checked the girls out and an evil smile glinted on his face thinking what he would do after getting to know about the project plan by the head of the VFX department of Creation, the famous heiress of wealthy society Veronica Lopez...

Unknown to Sam, his every movement and expression was being noticed by Veronica and an equally wicked smile was playing on her pink lips..

As they completed half of their dinner, Veronica nudged Lucinda by her elbow, signaling her to start the first stage of their plan which would start with Lucinda's great acting skills..

Acting like sipping the wine, Lucinda deliberately slipped some wine on her dress and acted like that the grip on the glass was loose as she yelped, ”Oh Shit! This was my favourite dressband I ruin it..”

Everyone looked at the dark patch on her dress and Willa gave her a tissue to remove the stain but once it got soaked to the fabric, it would be difficult to remove it without using water which was also in one of the plans of the girls.

Lucinda faked her tears and said, ”I loved this dress so much. If I don't wash it, it would forever left a stain on it.” Then she tilted her head towards Willa and asked in a pitiful voice, ”Willa, can you please come with me to the washroom and help me out of it?”

Without any hesitation, Willa got up from her seat and walked with Lucinda to the washroom leaving Veronica and Sam stay there alone..

After they left, Veronica eyed towards a particular corner of the private room and checked if the camera was placed in the right place by which they could easily film their conversation with both of their face clearly shown on the screen..

The installation of camera was not at all a big deal for Veronica as it was both Reuben and Veronica's restaurant..

Just a call from Veronica in the morning, got all the work done without any problem. And that was the exact reason, Veronica chose Fusion to be their meeting place..

They could easily search for any other restaurant and do their work done but it would be a little hectic for Veronica as she had already a lot in her plate. So with Reuben's advice she told the manager to plant a camera in the room and hide it in a way that no one could find it if they were not aware about it from before...

Checking everything was all set to perfect, Veronica also started with her acting. Well, she was also a damn good actor after all she was acting for the past five years to the whole world of hating the one and only love of her life, Mr. Reuben Smith from the bottom of her heart..
