Chapter 147 - A secret only for today...’ (2/2)
”So Sam how is work going?” Veronica asked.
”Everything is alright. Tell me about your work.” Sam didn't miss the chance to get some information out from Veronica's mouth.
Veronica faked a defeated sigh and said lowly, ”Don't talk about it. You know that our company is merging with Smith Enterprise and Brown Corporation and I'm the one to lead the project. But..”
”But?” Sam asked raising one of his eyebrow.
Making a sad face, Veronica replied, ”But I'm having some problem with understanding the blueprint of the hotel. So I couldn't even start to work on this and plan a model out of it.”
”Oh.. Then why didn't you ask Smith Enterprise or Brown Corporation to clear your doubt over it?? Moreover, how much I know the CEO of Smith Enterprise is your friend so you can directly ask for his help.” Sam said.
”What? Are you mad? I, Veronica Lopez, will ask help from that Reuben Smith? And the biggest truth to tell you is... we are not at all any type of friends but some moral enemies. So I can't ask for his help even if I'm on the verge of dying...
And about asking others or more like Brown Corporation, then let me tell you... I don't want anyone to think that I'm an incompetent person who could not even deal with a single blueprint. This will lower my value. So right now, I'm searching for an architect to let me make understand the blueprint.” Veronica huffed like it was a big task to deal with.
Suddenly Sam's eyes lit up in excitement as a fabulous idea came into his mind. For him the idea would be a drastic change in many people's life which could destroy Creation in one single push and he could get as much money as he want to live a life without any care and getting caught by others...
”Uhm. About that, I can help you in this... Actually one of my friend is an architect. If you want, I could ask him to help you in understanding the blueprint.” Sam asked trying to hide the evilness in his eyes.
Being the keen observer as always with a fox like brain, how could Veronica miss the greedy glint in Sam's eyes..
She would never...
She acted to be surprised and thankful to him as she said, ”Really Sam? You really have a friend who can help me? Then please appoint him for me and tell him that I'm ready to offer any mean of money as per his wish. And one more thing. Please don't tell this to Willa. You know what, I don't want her to think low of me. You understand nah, what I mean??”
”Don't worry. It'll be a secret only between us.” Sam promised but interally thought, 'A secret only for today...'
In the meantime, Lucinda came back with Willa and Veronica gestured her with her eyes that the plan was very much successful which made Lucinda smile in joy...
”So now your dress is okay?” Veronica asked.
”Yup... It is.. Willa really is a magician to clean the stain out of my dress completely in just few minutes.” Lucinda told, taking her seat again beside Veronica while Willa sat beside Sam.
After that, the four of them finished their dinner and Sam paid the bill thinking, 'To get a big deal, sometimes we need to spend a little bit of penny...'
Willa got up from her seat and said, ”So guys let's leave now..”
”No Willa you and Sam leave. We'll be out in a minute.” Lucinda said.
But when Willa furrowed her brows, Veronica hugged her and whispered, ”Reuben and Henry will be here to pick us up.” So that only Willa could hear that.
Willa smiled at them and left with Sam.
As soon as they were out of Fusion, three men entered the private room.
”So the fish already got caught in the net.!!” Reuben's voice bloomed up in the girls' ears, making them turn their faces behind to look at them...
Both Reuben and Henry went to their own partners and sat beside them hugging their petite figure in their embrace whereas the only single man Neil rolled his eyes at their open PDA...
”Yes. The fish is finally in the net.” Veronica replied happily pecking Reuben on the lips.
”So you gave him the fake blueprint?” Henry asked Veronica, making her smirk at him.
”Well, she definitely did. After all I've to ask my architects to make a fake blueprint for her in so little time by offering them double price...” This time Reuben was the one who spoke on her behalf.
Lucinda wowed at this and exclaimed, ”Woahh.!! My bestie is really a genius.”
”Any doubt about that?” Veronica said winking and praising herself as she high fived with Lucinda.
Reuben shook his head at her narcissistic comment and kissed the top of her head. He always loved how Veronica always stayed carefree within her friends and showed her bubbly personality to them...
Every action of Veronica always gave a tingle in Reuben's heart and he fell more and more deeply in love with her...
But the next question from Veronica shifted everyone's attention from her to the single man Neil, ”Bro, what are you doing here? You are supposed to be at some club, enjoying some party.. Isn't it? Then why are you wasting your time in solving Willa's problems who is not even considered a friend of yours?”
