Chapter 321 - Cracking voice... (1/2)

”Yes.. Boss.. You're right. That's why I'm telling you to call Ms. Veronica and have a talk with her, so that you could stop her from coming here…” Tom suggested.

Reuben agreed with him as he knew, no one was able to prohibit Veronica if she had already fixed her mind on something..

So he decided to call her immediately to escape out from the lion's den as he said, ”Tom… Thanks for informing me. Now I'm going to call her. You can go and check the preparations of the surprise thoroughly..

Tom nodded his head and left the cabin to give his boss some privacy.

Reuben picked up his phone and took a large deep breath to survive the upcoming storm. He finally dialed the number after numerous times of prayers to Jesus Christ and few rings later he heard the angry voice of Veronica..

”You bastard! Now you have gotten some time to talk to me after I threatened you with your life. What the hell were you doing in these pass two days? I called you so many times but you rejected my calls everytime..

You know what, I just want to kill you so much that I'm hardly controlling my anger now. What was so important for you to cut my call each and every single time? Were you trying to hide something from me?” Veronica growled from the other side of the phone as she kept him asking questions after questions.

Reuben pinched the end of his nose, getting tensed when he heard her pointing out the fact of him hiding something from her.

Trying not to show his nervousness in front of her, Reuben said in an extremely soft tone, ”Vero… You are misunderstanding everything. I'm not hiding anything from you. And why should I when I know that you'll kill me the moment you find out about my secrets..

And I was not receiving your calls because I was truly busy in few important business meetings and other stuffs. Otherwise I'd definitely pick up your calls like I always do. I'm really sorry…Okay??”

Hearing him apologizing to her, Veronica's anger subsided a little bit but she was still upset with him so she asked in an almost disappointed voice, ”Is your work more important to you more than talking to me or meeting me after I came back to city S around six months later?”

Reuben analysed the pain in her voice and his heart clenched feeling her hurt as he said softly, ”But Vero.. I went to visit you in the middle right? And I was really busy you know..

Moreover, don't you hate me with all of your heart? Then why are you so much upset not being able to meet me?”

This triggered the bottom line of Veronica as she glared up like a fire alarm, ”Yeah… Now you'd tell me that I hate you so why should I think of meeting you??

Actually, I really hate you so much to remind you that you went to visit me in city S a couple of months ago..”

A tear escaped from her eyes as she whispered in a very low voice which was hardly audible to anyone, ”I just wanted to meet you. Is it my fault than I can't except even a single call from you??

I even bought a gift for you thinking that you'd like it. But seems like, I expected too much from someone. You don't even have a single freaking minute for me…”
