Chapter 481


    Chapter 481 Completely Out of Job


    After Veronica and Ruka stayed in Castron for a week, they were still unable to find out anything about


    Hendrey’s whereabouts. Finally, disappointed and discouraged, they could only return to Bloomstead


    empty-handed.


    “I’m sorry I’ve wasted a week of your time.” When they arrived at Bloomstead, Ruka said to Veronica


    apologetically, “Are you sure you don’t want to work with me?”


    Everything was going smoothly when Veronica worked at Starshine Media Agency, but they terminated


    her contract, and Matthew was exerting pressure on her now. What should she do afterward? Ruka


    wondered, worried for her.


    Veronica shook her head. “It’s fine. I can take care of it,” she said, confident in herself.


    “Okay.” In the face of Veronica’s confidence, Ruka didn’t want to force the issue anymore and waved her


    hand. “Oh, all right. Bye-bye!”


    “See you!”


    After she said her goodbyes to Ruka, she drove home and slept for a day due to jetg.


    The next day after she woke up, she trained with Crayson.


    As he never interfered much with her private life, and she had already asked for leave before going to


    Castron, he didn’t say much about her sudden absence.


    When she was finished with morning training and breakfast, only then did she open the job-searching


    app and send out her resume.


    Matthew had heartlessly turned against her for Sasha’s sake, and she would like to find out if he was


    really that ruthless.


    Thus, she was upied the entire day as she sent out more than a dozen applications and made many


    calls just for a job. In the end, as she expected, she was turned down by all of them.


    “I’m sorry, you’re not the right fit for the position.”


    “Sorry, ourpany is fully-hired.”


    “Ha, Miss Murphy. This is an order from Young Master Matthew, and we can’t make an enemy out of him


    because of you.”


    “Veronica Murphy, you say? Hmph, don’te and mess with ourpany.”


    In the calls, the people were either rejecting her indirectly or directly, and there were even some who


    avoided her like the gue.


    Unable to find a job, she stood on the balcony and stared into the distance as she pondered deeply


    about her current situation. Finally, she focused her thoughts on one person.


    Finally, she dressed up simply and drove to her destination.


    Half an hourter, she arrived at Luminesce Enterprise, Miguel’spany.


    In Bloomstead, the Kings were the leading family amongst the four greatest families, while the Lynch


    Family held thest ce amongst the four.


    Veronica entered Luminesce Enterprise, then politely introduced herself to the receptionist, “Hello, I’m


    Veronica Murphy, and I have an appointment with Mr. Lynch.”


    Of course, she didn’t have an appointment with him, but this wasn’t the point.


    “My brother sent me here to pass something to him,” she added.


    The receptionist thought that her name sounded familiar. “Uhm… Who’s your brother?”


    “Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My brother is Matthew Kings, and I’m the god-granddaughter of Old


    Mrs. Kings.”


    Back then, this issue caused quite amotion in Bloomstead, and Veronica purposely brought this up


    so that the receptionist wouldn’t turn her away and would take her upstairs.


    Sure enough, after hearing Veronica’s introduction, the receptionist became very friendly to her. “I see,


    so you’re Miss Murphy! I know who you are. Are you here to deliver something for Mr. Lynch? Here,


    follow me upstairs.”


    A mere receptionist couldn’t offend someone from the Kings Family, especially since it wasmon


    knowledge that Matthew was very close with Miguel. Therefore, they didn’t have the guts to snub


    Veronica.


    Veronica followed the receptionist, stepped into the elevator, and went straight to the president’s office.


    Knock, knock, knock.


    Outside the president’s office, the receptionist rapped on the door. Just when she was about to tell


    Miguel that Veronica was here, Veronica put a finger to her lips to shush her, whispering, “Don’t say


    anything. I want to give Miggy a surprise. You can go back to work first.”


    “Okay, sure.” The receptionist nodded agreeably, then quickly turned around and left.


    After Veronica ensured that the receptionist had left in the elevator, she pushed the door open and strode


    in.


    However, Miguel wasn’t seated at his desk in the office, and she thought, Could it be that he’s not in?


    Then, she took a few steps inside and saw that Miguel wasid back on a couch in the lounge area,


    resting his feet on the coffee table as hezily read a document in his hand.


    She couldn’t help but stand there dumbfounded, and the man on the couch sensed that someone had


    come in. So, he tilted his head toward the sound of footsteps and was startled to see that it was actually


    Veronica.

    “W-What are you doing here?”


    In a panic, he closed his document and ced it on the table. When he wanted to stand up from the


    couch, he slipped because he was too nervous and slid off the couch,nding on his bum on the


    carpeted floor and looking very embarrassed.


    “Bah-ha-ha!” Amused by his reaction, she asked while chuckling, “Am I a demon, Miggy? Why are you


    so nervous when you see me?”


    This guy, she thought. He acts like he has seen a ghost whenever he sees me—what a funny guy.


    Miguel scrambled to his feet and patted down the nonexistent dust from his clothes. “W-Why are you


    here?”


    Once he was standing upright, he straightened his suit and had the demeanor of a polite gentleman.


    “Why can’t Ie over? I’m here to visit you because I’m free.”


    She didn’t hesitate to take a seat on the couch and didn’t ask him what he meant with his question at all.


    Instead, she lifted her head to look at him, and she could clearly see the awkwardness and helplessness


    on his face, which inexplicably amused her.


    “Why are you visiting me? I’m doing fine.” After he adjusted his sses in a nervous gesture, he


    scratched his head. “Just tell me why you’re here.”


    While he started a small talk with Veronica, he paced to his desk as he yed with his phone in his


    hands.


    Veronica didn’t say anything when he had his cell phone in his hands, and the second he set it aside,


    she asked, “Did you send out the news?”


    “What?” he blurted, confused.


    “The text you just sent to Matthew. Why are you asking me?”


    She thought this was highly mocking because she knew Miguel would contact Matthew, but that sat just


    fine with her because she wanted to meet Matthew today.


    “That… I-I was just asking Matthew what he’s doing.” His eyes wavered, and he appeared more guilty


    with every passing second.


    “I’ll tell you honestly, Miggy. It’s true that I’m here today because I’m in trouble.” Veronica didn’t like to


    beat about the bush as she went straight to the point.


    “What happened?”


    “I’m jobless now, and I can’t find a job. As you know, Matthew is deliberately making my life difficult, and


    I’mpletely broke and destitute. I’m desperate now, so I came looking to you for help. Will you


    consider epting me?”


    Just the thought of the things between Matthew and Sasha, she was filled with anger and


    disappointment, and she came looking for Miguel today because she was sure he would contact


    Matthew. So, she nned to meet Matthew and talk things out face-to-face.


    “A-ept you?”


    Veronica literally meant that she hoped that he could hire her and let her work in Luminesce Enterprise to


    support herself, but it took on a different meaning when it reached Miguel’s ears.
