Chapter 265 Finally Starting Her Own Business
Something was definitely wrong with Veronica’s taste in men.
“Hello, Hendrey.”
Hendrey smiled elegantly and took the initiative to shake hands with Yvonne.
“Alright, have fun chatting. I have to head back to the office to settle some stuff.” Yvonne withdrew her
hand and left the ward.
“Sure,” answered Hendrey as he walked into the ward with a bouquet in his arms. He saw Veronica
lying on the hospital bed and halted in his steps.
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Veronica propped herself up with her hands on the bed and sat up against the head of the bed,
covering herself with the blanket.
At that moment, the quiet ward made them feel somewhat restrained and awkward.
“Yesterday, you…”
“You…”
The two of them spoke at the same time but stopped when they only uttered a few words. When their
gazes met, they laughed.
“Ladies first. You should go first.”
Hendrey placed the flowers on the table and sat on the chair beside the bed.
Seeing him being so polite, Veronica felt a little awkward.
Perhaps, in front of her first love, she found it difficult to calm down.
“When did you come back?” she inquired.
“I just arrived in Bloomstead yesterday, and my friend invited me to watch the jewelry exhibition. I didn’t
expect to see you there.” After saying that, Hendrey hesitated for a moment before continuing, “On the
runway yesterday, you…”
“What a coincidence!”
Veronica interrupted him while smiling, “We must be fated. I happened to be a model for the catwalk
yesterday, and in order to create a selling point, I discussed with Ivana of Julius Atelier Jewelry to make
up a story for the First Love jewelry series. I never expected you to show up at all! Sorry for the
misunderstanding.”
She knew what Hendrey was going to ask, so she quickly explained the situation to him.
“Does that mean you pretended to faint on the spot?” Hendrey, like the sophisticated man he was,
smiled elegantly.
“Of course! Wouldn’t it be way too embarrassing if I hadn’t pretended to faint in that situation?”
Veronica raised her eyebrows and smiled smugly, gloating, “I responded pretty quickly, didn’t I?”
She pretended to be nonchalant as if she did not take what happened yesterday to heart.
Her response instantly calmed Hendrey down.
He shook his head and sighed, “You’re still the same as before, you naughty little brat.”
“You don’t say.”
The two chatted until they were comfortable with each other’s presence and were not as tense as
before.
“Why did you suddenly return after living abroad for so many years?”
“Nowhere else beats our own country, so I’m planning to stay back and settle down here.”
“That sounds good. There is also a lot of room for domestic development. Intellectuals like you are
talented and have a bright future.”
“You’re getting better at flattery,” Hendrey could not help but remark as he chuckled. Suddenly, he
thought of something and asked, “I heard that you were being recommended to study at Collins
University. How are you doing now? You’ve studied marketing management, so you should be able to
find a good job.”
Veronica did study marketing management at Collins University, but after going to university, she
preferred a major in computer science, so she took up a double degree.
Initially, Veronica did land a good job, but later when her adoptive father was injured and needed
money for medical treatment, she could only quit her job in Collins and come to Bloomstead to work as
a security guard. In that way, she could take care of her parents while earning money.
After that, she met Matthew, and her journey had been bumpy until today.
“Maybe I’m too picky, so I haven’t figured out what to do yet.” She did not tell Hendrey that she owned
a bridal store.
After all, the bridal store relied on the Kings Family to survive, so it was not considered a glorious
achievement or anything.
“There’s no rush in looking for a job. It’s more important that you take care of yourself,” Hendrey
comforted her before raising his wrist to check the time on his watch.
“It’s getting late, and I still have something to deal with. I’ll come and visit you later. What’s your phone
number?”
“Sure.” Veronica grabbed her phone and gave Hendrey her number, adding, “Let’s chat on WhatsApp.”
Hendrey tapped on his WhatsApp icon and sent a text message to Veronica while saying, “You don’t
even know how much effort it took for me to find you. I asked the organizer of the jewelry exhibition and
went around to find out that you are here.”
The two then exchanged a few more words before Hendrey left.
Veronica rested in the ward all morning, put on her IV drips, changed the bandage on her knees, and
went through the discharge procedures while limping.
Once she had left the hospital and was on the way home in a taxi, Shirley called again to inform her
that all the customers who had booked their weddings had canceled.
“Got it. Just do what you have to,” uttered Veronica nonchalantly.
“But… the renovations next door have all halted. Everyone is worried that Young Master Matthew isn’t
willing to cooperate with us anymore.”
“Those aren’t things you should worry about. You still have me, so don’t worry,” Veronica reassured in a
low voice and comforted Shirley, “You’ve been working overtime recently, haven’t you? Take this
opportunity to take a rest along with the others.”
“Okay. Sure.”
Shirley seemed to understand something but did not say much.
The reason why Veronica left the hospital so quickly was that the task ahead was arduous, and there
were still so many things she needed to do that could not be delayed.
In the afternoon, Yvonne called Veronica. “Roni, I found out who tampered with your shoes yesterday. It
was Ruka.”
Veronica was not surprised to learn that it was Ruka as if everything was reasonable.
“Okay. I got it.”
“That’s all?”
“What do you expect? Ruka is the eldest daughter of Dame Group. Do you expect me to beat her up?”
Veronica snorted lightly and chatted with her for a little before hanging up.
After that, Veronica went to the bridal store by car, held a meeting with all her colleagues, talked about
future plans, calmed everyone down, and informed them that she was going on a business trip for a
month.
Following that, Veronica bought a plane ticket to visit several places in other states for a so-called
vacation.
In Spinfluence Group’s president’s office, Thomas reported Veronica’s itinerary for the first few days to
Matthew.
“Miss Murphy went to Fort Schroas for a vacation, and she also bought flight tickets to Nanos and
Downtown Ferris, which are all tourist attractions. I’m assuming that she’s trying to leave town and wind
down a little.”
Matthew, who was processing the documents, frowned slightly as he was puzzled by Veronica’s
behavior.
This was not her usual style.
“What about Hendrey?” he asked.
“Hendrey joined Dame Group and applied for the president position of Joyous Department Store’s
headquarters. He is currently serving his probation period, so he is pretty busy.”
Thomas reported the results of his investigation in detail.
Matthew looked at some reports on the table and squinted his eyes, saying, “Okay. You may go now.”
“Erm… Do you still need me to continue monitoring Miss Murphy’s whereabouts?”
“No.”
“Got it.” With that, Thomas turned and left.
Matthew stared at the reports on the table, lost in thought.
That night, in the hospital, Veronica’s words hurt Matthew severely.
He thought that cutting off the business sources of Encounters Bridal Store would make Veronica
surrender, but now it seemed that it was not the case.
She even went on a vacation!
It seemed that she was having a good time.
Not only Matthew, but everyone thought that Veronica was just traveling and even signed up for local
tour groups.
Nobody knew that the tour group Veronica signed up for had nine other members who called
themselves Black Dragons.
