Chapter 91


    Xavier was now waiting for her at thepany‘s entrance. Seeing hering over in a light gray sports


    wear, he immediately went up to her and said, “Roni, I‘m sorry I couldn‘t help.”


    Feeling a bit guilty, he felt that what he did wasn‘t appropriate.


    Although he really wanted to apany Veronica to Almeida, he had something to


    wasn‘t a bad idea to send her there alone so that he could get to know her all over again.


    Xavier believed that after two weeks of mingling with her, Hendric would definitely ept her.


    After all, he had previously ridiculed Veronica about her ugly looks, but now that her true identity was rev


    ealed and she had the same gorgeous face as Tiffany, it would definitely work to her favor. =


    “It‘s fine. I‘m now one of your staff members, so it‘s my duty to serve thepany.” Veronica raised her b


    row and smiled, looking rxed.


    Standing in front of her, Xavier gave her a huge embrace.


    While holding her tightly in his arms, he whispered, “I‘ll wait for you to return. When youe back, I‘ll gi


    ve you a big surprise.”


    “What


    is the surprise?” She pushed him away while her eyes brightened. “Are you going to give me my bonus?”


    The


    moment she heard the word ‘surprise, all she had in mind was money, which was why she looked so exci


    ted.


    Looking at her expression, Xavier didn‘t know whether tough or cry. “Yes, you‘re so smart.”


    If I‘m going to propose to her, I must prepare a huge gift that she will definitely like.


    “You should have told me earlier. I would have been gone by now. Haha…” Veronica said cheerfully.

    “The mountain roads there are bumpy. Be careful.” He reminded her while pointing al a minivan next to th


    em, “Everything that we have prepared for the children in Almeida is all loaded in that van. They will drive


    the vehicle to the ce. As for you, I‘ve prepared a ne ticket for you to fly over there. After you have a


    lighted from the ne, there will be someone to pick you up.”


    Since Almeida was located far away from Bloomstead, they could only take the ne to the nearest desti


    nation before traveling to Almeida by car.


    “Alright. I understand.” Veronica nodded.


    “When you arrive at Almeida, there won‘t be any roads for the car to


    drive through, so you will have to walk up the mountain by foot. It‘ll be arduous, so you must take care of


    yourself.”


    Xavier didn‘t forget to repeatedly remind her.


    “Alright. I understand. I‘ll be fine. Trust me.” She raised her brow again and smiled.


    Then, Xavier and Veronica took a picture together with the other colleagues who were also assigned to A


    lmeida.


    After the picture, the van drove the other colleagues off while Xavier drove her to the airport.


    “Safe travels.” He gave Veronica a hug. “If anything happens, you must remember to contact me immedi


    ately.”


    He looked at her with an obvious hint of reluctance in his eyes.


    Veronicabed her hair with her fingers and smiled. “I‘m only leaving for two weeks. Why do you


    have to make such a big deal out of it? Alright, I‘m leaving. Goodbye.”


    While dragging her luggage, she turned around to leave before waving her hand at him without looking b


    ack.


    After having


    her ticket checked in the boarding area, she boarded the ne and found her seat to take a seat.


    Since her seat was next to a window, she was able to see the beautiful scenery outside.


    A few hourster, the ne arrived at Lothen.


    is soon as Veronica got off the ne, she met the person who was assigned to pick her up. She entered


    the waiting car and it drove all the way to the bottom of Almeida‘s mountain before she alighted from it.


    The driver said to her, “We can‘t drive any further from here. We still need to walk for about 4 to 5 hours t


    o reach Almeida. We should be able to arrive there before dark.”


    “Alright. Let‘s hurry up and get going. It‘s gettingte.”


    Veronica carried her luggage and followed the driver up the mountain.


    The driver‘s name was Quincy Neelson, who was an extremely enthusiastic dark–‘. skinned and slightly


    chubby boy.


    The two of them were talking andughing as they made their way up the mountain.


    However, after walking for an hour, rain began to pour from the sky. It came so quickly and


    suddenly that it caught both Veronica and Quincy off guard.


    “What kind of weather is this?”


    She took out an umbre from her luggage while he had an umbre of his own. While carrying their stuff


    , the two of them stepped on the muddy mountain road and stumbled forward.


    The rain was extremely heavy and when the bean–


    size raindrops fell on their umbres, it made a crackling sound. At the same time, ayer of mist had ris


    en from the mountainside, making the ce look cloudy and exquisitely charming.


    “Ahhh!”


    When Veronica lifted her head to look at the beautiful scenery on the mountain, she slipped and almost f


    ell to the ground. Luckily, someone had suddenly reached out to grab her cor to prevent any tragedies.


    “Thank you, Quincy. What a scare. Sigh..”


    She used the luggage to stand on her feet, but then, Quincy responded, “It wasn‘t me. It‘s him.”


    He pointed at the man behind Veronica.


    Therefore, she instinctively looked back. When she had a clear view of the man


    standing behind her, her eyes lit up as she eximed, “Matthew! Why are you here?”


    She was surprised and excited to meet him in such a deserted ce.


    The man was wearing a ck sportswear with sports shoes of the same color while holding a gray–


    striped umbre. His face was nd while standing in front of her.


    Seeing the bright smile on her face, he couldn‘t help but give a slight smile with his lips.


    “Are you surprised?” Matthew asked tly.


    “You should have told me earlier that you areing so that I don‘t have to carry my luggage. Here you g


    Whenever she was in need, she would always call him ‘bro‘ instead of his name.


    Veronica then handed her luggage over to Matthew. “Bro, please help me carry it. It‘s really heavy.”


    The road up the


    mountain was muddy especially in this kind of rainy weather and the slippery ground made it difficult for a

    “Whew, it‘s sofortable not having to carry the luggage.”


    Veronica shook her hand as her mood had suddenly improved.


    Then, she tugged on Matthew‘s arm and said to Quincy, “Quincy, let me introduce him to you. He is Matth


    A nervous Quincy smiled. “Hello, bro.”


    “Hey, why are you calling him bro? You can just call him Matthew.” She waved her hand with a look of tota


    He scratched his head and answered, “Since he is your brother, I feel that I should call him ‘bro‘ too.”


    “We don‘t even share the samest name and are not rted to each other at all. Come on, let‘s go.”


    Peronica ungratefully paited Quincy‘s shoulder before walking forward.


    tighuly after being ignored. Damn this woman. She is so ungrateful.


    Although it was early autumn, the weather was still hot, so the rain came and went quickly.


    Not long after, the rain stopped.


    Veronica went up the mountain and stood on the mountainside. Looking down, she could not help but fee

    She was talking to Matthew, but when she turned to look, she realized that her luggage was missing from
