Chapter 322 - Shell shocked... (1/2)

Reuben gave him a small smile before throwing the bomb on him, ”I'm going to meet my Ica tomorrow. So we've to prepone all of our plans from the next week to tomorrow..”

”What??” Tom almost shouted in shock when he heard Reuben telling him to finish such an important task just in a day.

Next day was Saturday and they had planned to execute their all ideas to set the surprise on next week Friday which meant that they were going to prepone their whole task six days prior and it was quite impossible for them..

Tom swiped off his shocked expression and asked, ”But boss.. How can we finish it so soon?”

Reuben looked towards Tom and said, ”I know it's really difficult but not impossible. Do one thing, till now you were handling both office and the surprises... right??

So now don't think anything about all the office works. And focus on just the surprise. And don't worry, I'll help you in everything. You just decorate the place as I have described before. Rest I'll handle myself.”

Tom nodded and went to do his work while Reuben made a few call to confirm about some things so that his plan would go without any flaws and he could smoothly proceed with his surprise for Veronica...

Lopez Mansion…

The day passed by and finally the moment of their meeting had come...

Veronica was roaming around her room restlessly. She was making a continuous round of her walk in closet and bedroom.

Her bed was covered with different kinds of dresses as she didn't know what to wear. She was confused for the first time in her life to choose a drees for herself.

She had never wasted her time in this kind of silly things before, like other girls but now she was getting more picky than them because of Reuben. She wanted to look all pretty and dolled up so that Reuben would notice her more than a friend.

Her eyes finally landed on a dark blue colour short dress which was very much simple yet elegant.

It had turtle neck and made with pure lenin. The dress end few inches before her knees. It was a frock kind of dress with a belt at the back of her waist portion...

The area between her back and her waist was exposed by a four inches cut which was showing her luscious milky white skin..

She kept her long hair opened and curled the bottom parts of her hairs and wore beautiful blue heels whose ribbon was tied around her ankle part.

Veronica wanted to keep her look normal so she  wore a pair of matching blue studs which had a bow kind of design on the upper portion and a dark blue cube shaped stone was attached to the down part of it.

She chose to have a light shade of pink eyeshadow with black eyeliner, mascara. She didn't use any blush on her cheeks but used a little bit of golden highlighter on her cheekbones after applying a very small amount of foundation and compact.

Then she coloured her lips with a nude pink lipstick. She also wore a simple watch which had a bracelet along with it. So she was now completely ready.

Taking her handbag, she put his gift and waited for Reuben to arrive...

Soon she heard a car honk and she rushed downwards as fast as she could. She bid goodbye to her mother and went outside to see Reuben standing there looking all handsome…
