Chapter 132


    Hearing


    that, Matthew squinted his eyes as a trembling coldness surged in them. “Carry on!” He grew even more


    curious about the identity of the person who daredy a finger on his woman.


    Meanwhile, in Konig Company, Veronica punched her card and headed straight to the president‘s office.


    She pushed open the door, only to be weed by Xavier‘s rear figure as he was sitting on his desk, ad


    miring the frame of graphic text that was newly hung on his wall.


    “Watch as I revitalize, sit as I imperialize. Hot damn, those are some words.” Veronica mumbled her prais


    e as she subconsciously gave a thumbs–up.


    Hearing that, Xavier turned around. At the sight of Veronica, the memory of the day he sent her and watc


    hed as she entered Twilight Condominium shed in his mind. Hints of sadness surged in his eyes. How


    ever, he covered up his despair and simply chuckled. “Indeed, you watched as I revitalized, so sit by me


    as I imperialize the world!” The quote wasposed for Veronica.


    Xavier was once a known business prodigy in Bloomstead, but due to numerous triggering forces, he wa


    s pushed over the edge and found no way to get back up, living the purposeless life of a vermin. From a


    prodigy to a good–for–


    nothing, he had grown too ipetent to be likeable, and ended up being disdained by everyone he kne


    w. Nevertheless, that only persisted until his encounter with Veronica, who inspired him to regain control


    of his life, but she wouldn‘t know about that.


    “Good luck, Bro! I‘m rooting for you.” Veronica ced her purse aside before throwing herself onto the co


    uch in his office‘s lounge area. Slothfully leaning against the couch, she turned her head toward Xavier, s


    tating, “I‘ve got something to tell you.”


    “What is it?” Xavier walked to the water dispenser and made a cup of tea for her before walking over and


    serving the cup of tea to her.


    “I n to return to my hometown.”


    “For how long?” Xavier didn‘t give it much thought. He simply assumed that she was applying for leave.


    With her elbow on the couch‘s armrest and her hand supporting her chin, Veronica helplessly grinned as


    she shook her head. “I‘m noting back.”


    Ai once, Xavier‘s brows tightened; he was shocked. “What, why? What happened?”

    “Nothing really. Having lived so long in the busy city, I thought the countryside felt better. Perhaps it‘s mor


    e suitable for me.”


    “Is it because he‘s getting married to Tiffany?” As the open person he was, heid everything out from hi


    s


    heart. Prior to that day, Melissa, who had just returned from Spinfluence Group, informed him that Tiffany


    was pregnant, and it would only be a short time before they wedded each other.


    Recalling that, Xaviermented, “Now that Tiffany is pregnant, the Kings Family is going to speed up the


    wedding even if it‘s for the sake of pride. When the Kingses and the Larsons team up, you…” Pausing, hi


    s eyes fell upon the disaffected woman opposite him, and he stopped talking. Instead, he went on a tang


    ent. “Anyway, I support your decision to return. By then, I‘ll have thispany expanded to your doorste


    ps, and you can continue to work for me.”


    “Haha! Not a problem,


    of course! If you‘re really setting up a branch there, I‘ll spend the rest of my life working for you as a spec


    ialized employee.” Veronica assumed the man was merely jesting. –=–=


    “That‘ll be the best! Ourpany has epted a new project. It‘s been a while since you received your


    secretary training, so you‘ve probably learned


    all the basics. Thus, your next step is managing the new business!”


    Xavier said that she had been receiving training for “a while,” though she had only started one week ago.


    She was


    guided by the executive secretary to understand every task and procedure of thepany, and sometim


    es, she was taught about the specialized abilities of a secretary. Veronica knew that Xavier was actually t


    raining her.


    “Aren‘t you a sly businessman? Secretary skills, new project, then you‘re gonna have me follow you for


    meetings, which


    eventually makes me your personal assistant. Tsk, tsk… How calctive!” Veronica was as perceptive as


    usual.


    Although Xavier‘s ns were exactly as Veronica stated, his true intention was to face hardship and gro


    w together with her. “Since my Roni is so smart, letting her remain an ordinary employee would be such


    a waste of talent. I‘ll double your pay as my personal assistant!”


    “Praise Brother Xavier!” Veronica gave the man a big thumbs–


    up. Soon, as the smile on her face diminished, she sternly rified, “But I can‘t be by your side for long.


    As I said, I‘m going back to my hometown.”


    “Don‘t worry about that. Until you finally leave, just do whatever you can for the time


    being.”


    “Thank you. That means a lot to me.” Carrying her purse, Veronica stood up. “Then, I shall tend to my wo


    rk.”


    “Please.” Xavier nodded. After watching her leave the room, he went to sit at his desk and dialed ap


    any hotline. “Come over for a bit.”


    Not long after he hung up, the executive secretary walked in and stood before him. “How may I help, Pre


    sident Crawford?”


    “Order some men to visit Veronica‘s hometown and see if there‘s any suitable ce to set up a branch.”


    As Xavier was speaking, he wrote down the woman‘s hometown address and handed the note to the exe


    cutive secretary.


    “Roger that, President.”


    “Also, do not let her know about this. Oh, one more thing. Prepare a private office for her.”


    “On it, President.” The executive secretary nodded in response and turned around to exit the room.


    Time speedily passed. Veronica was studying the infographics of the new project at the secretariat, and b


    And so, the duo went to a steakhouse nearby.


    In the meantime, in Spinfluence Group, Tiffany, who woke


    up midday, received a call from Thomas. “Miss Larson, Young Master Matthew has ordered me to inform y


    A second ago, her conscience was still hazy, but after hearing Thomas‘s message, she sprung up from he


    “It‘s Young Master Matthew‘s wish. You can take your confusion to him.” Thomas then went on and rye


    “Got it. Thanks.” Tiffany hung up. Tilted, she almost smashed her phone onto the


    ground, but she managed to retain her rationality and suppress her anger. “I can‘t be pissed now. For the
