Chapter 246 - Pick me up... (1/2)

Still he wanted to confirm it from Cole so he asked, ”Are you coming alone or bringing Regina with you?”

Cole knew that Alonzo didn't like Regina at all but still their parents were forcing them to get engaged which Cole himself didn't want because he thought that his sister Regina was not good enough for Alonzo...

Though Regina was his own sister but Alonzo was his brother too. And he could never deny the truth that Regina was nothing but an egoistic spoiled brat who didn't know how to respect other people.

According to him, his friend Alonzo deserved someone better who would cherish his love and take care of him whole heartedly which Regina certainly could not do..

Sighing deeply, Cole replied, ”Yeah.. She will also be coming with me. But you don't need to give her any attention...

She will definitely nag to me about you but rest assured, I'll handle her. I don't want her to create trouble for you.”

”Thanks Cole. It means a lot.” Alonzo said.

”Come on Buddy. We're friends. You don't have to say thanks for these small things.” Cole said.

Alonzo smiled and asked, ”By the way, when are you coming and where you will stay?”

”My flight will land around 9 am and about staying, I'll be checking in a hotel.” Cole said.

”That's not needed. Just come to my apartment.” Alonzo suggested.

Cole smiled at his friend and said, ”I know you want my wellbeing. But I can't stay with you bro...

You know that my sister will also be there. And her presence means brewing trouble over your head intentionally which I don't want.”

Alonzo understand what he was saying and that's why, he didn't force on Cole's decision anymore, as he also would be uncomfortable around that Regina whom he despised with all of his heart...

So he agreed and said, ”Okay. I'll then send either my driver or Bill to pick you up.”

”Yeah... That will be great.” Cole replied.

Next morning...

Love-Paradise…

Veronica was still sleeping when her phone rang. She ignored it at first as she wanted to sleep more because Reuben didn't allow her to sleep till dawn and continued their love making which left her all exhausted..

But the stupid phone was not listening to her prayers at all and kept ringing over and over...

Getting irritated, Veronica finally picked up her phone and without checking who was the caller, she just answered the call, ”Hello..”

Veronica's voice was still groggy because her sleep wasn't enough for her yet and she wanted to sleep more which made the other person misunderstood her tone of voice as if it was filled with a little bit annoyance..
