    Standing before her workers, Veronica attempted to maintain herposure as their enthusing words


    reached her ears. She couldn’t help but exim, Good looks aren’t always a good thing.


    “Silence. Allow me to introduce Matthew Kings, the president of Spinfluence Group, who will be our


    majority shareholder from today onward. Henceforth, he will be your—I mean he will be our boss,” she


    introduced Matthew’s new identity sinctly, and the employees soon surged into a ruckus.


    “What? That’s so sudden!”


    “So, President Kings will be our boss from now on.”


    “What a surprise. The Spinfluence Group has been one of the Top 500panies worldwide. Since


    Young Master Matthew is our boss, does that mean we’re in the Top 500 as well?”


    “I’m all fired up to work for my handsome boss right now!”


    …


    Veronica pped her hands once again to silence the noise. “We’ve rented the abutting ten-storey


    building for a decade to expand the business, and the renovation willmence tomorrow. Therefore, I


    would like to make it a point to everyone that ourpany prioritizes talent and dedication. Promotions


    will be offered based on your achievements and performances. Last but not least, we should believe we


    will be able to strive forward and hit big in the future under President Kings’ guidance.”


    It was certainly good news to hear that, as the employees were all giddy with excitement and vehement


    joy upon hearing the announcement. Their merriment rubbed off on Veronica, and she was equally


    happy as they were.


    She then turned toward the man standing beside her. “President Kings, would you like to give them a


    word or two?”


    With a gentle smile, he nodded and looked at the team. “Do your best. I’ll be looking forward to your


    aplishments.”


    Veronica frowned when she heard his short statement, albeit heartening. “Nothing else?”


    He hummed in response before the thrilled employees began gushing about him.


    “That is so cool.”


    “Cold and domineering. He’s the coolest guy I’ve ever met.”


    “Gosh, I’m in love!”


    “President Kings, may I have a picture with you?”


    “President Kings, me too!”


    00:00/00:00


    “Can I have a signature of yours, please?”


    …


    Veronica was rendered speechless by the sight of the meeting turning into a fanmeeting.


    This guy and his deadly charms! It’s not even his first day officiallying to work, yet he has everyone


    falling for him already!


    “Sure.” Unlike his usual aloof disposition, he was rather approachable and amiable today. In hindsight,


    how did the workers react? They surrounded him and took pictures together with him, of course! It was a


    chance that would onlye along once in a lifetime!


    At that moment, Shirley scampered toward Veronica with light steps as she swayed her phone.


    “Veronica, look! Did the picturee out fine?”


    Gazing at the girl grinning ear to ear with a peace sign next to the man in the picture, Veronica thought


    she looked cute.


    “Pretty. You look nice.” Veronica was never stingy withpliments.


    Shirley nodded rigorously as she smiled sheepishly. “I think it came out nice too.”


    While talking to Shirley, Veronica noticed a figure ascending the stairs. Realizing that it was Monica


    heading upstairs, she followed suit.


    Monica was spacing out by the window when Veronica walked up to her. “Are you worried that Matthew


    wouldn’t agree with your part-time job here?” Veronica saw through her concerns easily.


    Surprised by the sudden question, Monica hastily rose to her feet with her bulging belly.


    “Sit. The due date is nearing. You should be extra careful.” Veronica seated herself opposite her.


    Monica sighed. “I’m more concerned about what will happen after giving birth to my child. President


    Kings is capable of handling thepany well with strict rules and management. When the timees,


    I’m certain that he will…”


    “As long as I’m here, you have nothing to worry about. Don’t you know that you’ve been one of the


    important pirs of thepany? If you can get everything in order and handle the wedding nning


    well, you’re allowed to stay. You have my words.” Veronica buoyed Monica up as she waspletely


    aware of how much passion Monica had for the industry. As a woman herself, she understood how


    exhausting it would be to juggle childcare and work at the same time.


    “For real? Thank you, President Murphy. Thank you so much!” Monica was genuinely grateful. “Don’t you


    worry. I’ll hire a nanny to look after my kid so that I can focus on my work.”


    “d to hear that.” Veronica got up and patted her shoulder to encourage her. “Take care and don’t stay


    toote. I’ll head off first.”

    Veronica went downstairs, where Matthew was waiting for her while smoking after the hectic photo


    session. Hearing the oing footsteps, the man tossed the simmered cigarette into the trash bin.


    “What would you like for dinner?”


    “Anything is fine for me.”


    “Let’s go, then.” He walked abreast of her before suggesting, “I’ll take the wheel.”


    She followed and hopped onto his car. Along their way to the restaurant, she sat mute, and he didn’t


    bring up the contract either.


    The bridal store had been the pressure that was weighing her down, and he no longer wanted to mention


    anything remotely rted to thepany. The 5% share was enough to imply a lot of things.


    The duo ordered some simple dishes, including porridge, in the private room.


    While they were waiting for the food, Veronica piped up, “Since the store will be expanded, I’ll leave the


    employment to you. Plus, you should select some candidates as the supervisor.”


    “Let’s not talk about work on the dining table,” Matthew advised gently as he poured her a ss of water.


    His gantry hit her soft spot, and she felt her heart of iron melt because of the warmth enveloping her.


    She focused her eyes on the man with mixed feelings.


    The good-looking man, who only exerted arrogance and an aloof air around him, was always nice and


    gentle to her in particr.


    Recalling back the misunderstanding, she deeply repented her ridiculous reaction. He was trying to help,


    yet she made him mad. However, she knew that rtionships could not be forced.


    “Okay. I’ll be visiting Grandma at Kings Residence tomorrow. Wannae along?” Veronica invited.


    “Sure,” responded Matthew. “There’s a charity in the city the day after tomorrow. Would you like to


    come?”


    “Sure, I’ll go.”


    The atmosphere in the room was wholesome as the light conversation continued before they left the


    restaurant separately. When the afternoon came the next day, they went to Kings Residence together.
