    Chapter 1223 Our Secret


    "Oh dear. I used to think that Mr. Crayson was a good person. Never had it crossed my mind that he


    would turn out to be nasty." Shirley pouted, feeling somewhat sorry for Veronica.


    "Oh dear. I used to think that Mr. Crayson was a good person. Never had it crossed my mind that he


    would turn out to be nasty." Shirley pouted, feeling somewhat sorry for Veronica.


    "Never mind. Let''s not talk about this." Veronica changed the topic. "Matt, where will you arrange for


    them to stay?"


    "Just stay at the One Piece Restaurant. There are three empty rooms, so you two can choose a room


    for yourselves and stay here."


    Matthew had long made the arrangements.


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    Outside, someone came to knock on the door again. "Boss, someone is looking for you," the person


    informed.


    Matthew stood up. "You go ahead and chat. I''ll go out for a while." After that, he walked out of the


    lounge and closed the door.


    Only three of them were left in the room. Just when Veronica wanted to send Skyler away so that she


    could ask Shirley about Vincere Games, his voice sounded. "Since I have brought Shirley here with


    me, naturally, I have assigned someone reliable to manage Vincere Games for you. They will


    undoubtedly help yourpany thrive."


    Skyler arched his eyebrows at Veronica and gave her a mischievous smile at the end of his speech.


    "Don''t worry, Roni. I won''t tell Matt about this."


    At first, he couldn''t believe that Veronica was secretly running a business. But then again, once he


    realized that Veronica was an independent and self-reliant woman who would not rely on Matthew for a


    long time, he figured it was normal for her to start her own business.


    "Thank you." Veronica expressed her gratitude. Then, she nced at Shirley, her eyes filled with a


    questioning look.


    Knowing she had made a mistake, Shirley hung her head low. "Ron, I''m sorry. I-I…"


    "It''s not her fault. I saw her working at Vincere Games and had someone investigate. That''s how I


    found out about this."


    Fearing Veronica would me Shirley, Skyler immediately stepped forward to exin, being protective


    of his friend.


    "Why are you so anxious? I''m not going to beat her."


    Veronica couldn''t help teasing him after she noticed the panic on Skyler''s face.


    Sure enough, Shirley understood the hidden meaning in her words very well.

    At once, her face turned red, showing the shyness of an innocent girl. "Ron, stop making things up."


    "Making things up? What did I make up?"


    Veronica turned sideways to face Shirley with a confused expression.


    "I-I…"


    Shirley was bereft of speech before realizing btedly that she had overreacted.


    Meanwhile, Skyler sat quietly on the side and looked at them, smiling but not saying a word.


    Before long, Matthew returned.


    They spent the whole afternoon chatting freely, and everyone was in an excellent mood.


    In the evening, Matthew had the kitchen prepare dinner. Once the dishes were served, everyone sat


    together, eating and chatting.


    Because they were having such a good time, Matthew didn''t remind Veronica and Shirley of the time


    when he saw the two chatting happily despite realizing howte it was.


    It wasn''t until 10 p.m. when Crayson called that Veronica realized it was time to go back.


    Before heading back, Matthew took Shirley and Skyler to choose their rooms.


    Skyler stayed in Executive Suite No. 1, whereas Shirley stayed in Executive Suite No. 2, with only a


    wall separating them.


    After that, Matthew gave them each a set of miniature tranting headsets so that they could wear


    them when they went out, easing their livelihood in the hidden n. In addition, he also gave them


    each a mobile phone.


    "Rest well, you two. Roni and I have to go back. ording to the weather forecast, it''s going to rain


    later," he said to the two while putting his arm around Veronica''s shoulder.


    "Okay, President Kings."


    "Sure, Matt and Roni. You go ahead and do your thing."


    Both Shirley and Skyler nodded in response.


    After Skyler finished speaking, Matthew shot him a chilling gaze through his pitch-dark eyes as he


    warned, "Hey, hey. Watch your tone when you address her as Roni!"
