Raymond saw through the resentment in Veronica''s eyes.


    He smiled slightly. "What? You look reluctant. Are you angry that I stopped you?"


    Veronica tried her best to squeeze out a smile. "How could that be? You helped me when I was in my most dire state. I was so grateful to you that I couldn''t be angry with you. Look at the smile on my face now."


    Yes, the expression on her face showed that she wasn''t angry, but that smile couldn''t be more fake.


    "I don''t care if you are angry or not, but I am your employer now. You have to take the employer first in everything. You should have professional ethics, right?"


    Veronica thought, ''Can you stop talking so much? Why don''t you get to the point?''


    Veronica took a deep breath and reminded Raymond with a smile, "Mr. Bryson, didn''t you call me just now? You must have something to tell me, right? I wonder... what it is."


    Raymond pointed to the floor of his study room. "The floor is too dirty. You should clean it now."


    Veronica was speechless.


    The smile on her face froze as she looked at Raymond.


    What did he mean by this? Want her to clean his study now? Was he joking? He clearly knew that she still had sses in the afternoon.


    Veronica coughed and exined to Raymond, "Mr. Bryson, I have to go to ss in the afternoon. I have to go to take the bus now. If I work now, I am afraid I will bete for ss. I will clean your study, but ... can you wait for me toe back and clean it after ss?"


    Raymond''s eyes met Veronica''s eyes.


    Veronica''s eyes shone with sincerity.


    Of course, Raymond could see the urgency behind that sincere gaze.


    In a hurry to go to ss? Did she think of this result when she tried to ckmail him?


    Raymond''s face was cold as he narrowed his eyes and said word by word, "No way!"


    Veronica didn''t know what to say.


    Her smile suddenly froze.


    She wanted to pour the tea she had just made directly over his head.


    Veronica forced out a smile and continued, "Mr. Raymond, my afternoon ss is very important. This professor has a bad temper and hates students beingte. Otherwise, if he knows that I amte, I will fail my ss and affect my credits. So..."


    "No. If you leave now, you will break the contract. If you break the contract, you will have to pay ten times thepensation of the contract!" Raymond''s reply was also resolute and decisive. "If I were you, I would clean up as quickly as possible before going to ss, instead of wasting time arguing here!"


    Veronica was speechless.


    Alright, he won!


    Veronica cursed Raymond a hundred times in her heart, then quickly put her book aside, and went to the bathroom to get a mop and a rag. While Veronica was busy cleaning the study room, Raymond sat behind the desk and looked at his documents in a good mood.


    Many times, Veronica wanted to throw the rag in her hand on Raymond''s head, but when she thought of the penalty fee, Veronica resisted. ording to Raymond''s request, she wiped all the floor in the study room at the fastest speed and also wiped the table and the bookcase. After doing all this, Veronica panted and said to Raymond, "Mr. Bryson, I''ve finished it. Please take a look."


    Raymond nced at the bright and new study room and said in disgust, "Not bad."


    Without waiting for Raymond to raise any objections, Veronica quickly left the study with the books, mop, and rag. Before leaving, she said, "Then I will go to school." With that, Veronica disappeared.


    Raymond looked in the direction where Veronica had left and couldn''t help but smile.


    Then, he walked to the window and looked downstairs.


    She saw Veronica running out of the vi with a book in her hand. When she was running, she identally ran off a shoe. She quickly ran back, put on her shoes, and continued running forward. Seeing this scene, Raymond finally couldn''t help butugh out loud.


    She also had her day!


    ...


    Fortunately, Veronica stepped into the ssroom almost at the same time as the professor. She quickly found a seat in the ssroom before the professor walked to the tform. When she sat down, she finally had a chance to catch her breath.


    When the professor spoke, she opened her book and muttered, "Bastard Raymond, knowing that I am going to bete for ss, he deliberately asked me to clean up!"


    If Raymond hadn''t asked her to work, she wouldn''t be in such a sorry state right now.


    Fortunately, she was noter than the time the professor entered the ssroom.


    She felt that Raymond waspletely intentional. Otherwise, normal people would not do such a wicked thing.


    Moreover, she suspected that this kind of thing might happen from time to time in the future.


    The professor started the lecture, and Veronica had no time to think about other things.


    After ss, Veronica''s good friend, Ste Bruno, walked over.


    "Veronica, you were almostte. Do you know that this professor hates students beingte the most?" Ste reminded Veronica. Veronica smiled at Ste. "I am notte, am I?"


    Ste looked at the other students who were talking about Veronica and then looked at Veronica with concern.


    "They said that your father''spany went bankrupt. Moreover, your family was also detained by the court to the creditor. Is this true?"Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    Veronica nodded calmly. "It''s true. It happened yesterday."


    Having been treated coldly by her uncle and aunt, currently, Veronica was very calm in the face of her ssmates.


    After all, she had experienced the worst.


    ...


    "What?" Ste looked at Veronica worriedly. "Why didn''t you call me yesterday? Where do you live now?"


    "Oh, I found a job, so I did not call you."


    At that time, she had thought of calling Ste, but Ste lived outside the school with her boyfriend. She did not want to disturb them, so she did not call her.


    Ste heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Veronica''s words. "That''s good."


    "Oh, by the way, I have good news for you. That diplomat, Ms. Hopper, whom you admire the most, wille to Peace City in a month. Moreover ... she will be a visiting professor in our university."
