Chapter 399 It’s a Prank
Veronica froze up. What the hell is he doing? He’s giving me a present now? She blinked and looked at
Matthew. There was a dark look on his face, and if looks could kill, she would have been dead three
times by now. Gotta cheer him up.
She smiled sheepishly. “Um, can you get up for a moment? I need to get the… present.” It was a
coincidence that she ran into Larry on her birthday. She would have forgotten all about it if Matthew had
not come and told her about it. Matthew was upset, but he still got up and let her get the door anyway.
A foreign waiter stood outside, and he handed a mysterious gift to her. It was a beautiful white box, and
a black-gold ribbon was tied around it. “Hello, miss. Here’s your present.”
She closed the door and muttered, “What on earth is this? So mysterious.” I hate mysteries. They can
be a real shocker if done wrongly.
Matthew leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. He was looking at the present with interest and
waiting for her to open it.
Veronica licked her lips. It’s gonna get real messy if I don’t open this. “Calm down. I’ll open it right
away.” She went over to the table and put the present on it, then unraveled the ribbon and slowly
unboxed it. She was curious about what the content was, but the moment she saw the thing inside, she
blanched. Veronica slammed the cover shut as fast as she could, and her arms looked like a blur for a
moment.
“Hey, why are you keeping it a secret? Is it something good?” Matthew took a seat on the couch and
leaned forward. He stared at the box and cocked his eyebrow.
“I-It’s nothing.” She mustered the best smile she could and puffed her cheeks, trying to act like a kid.
“Oh, you can’t see this. My friend gave me this. I have to keep it a secret.” She smiled. F*ck you, Larry!
*uck you! What the hell did I ever do to you? Why did you do this to me, you *sshole?
“A secret, eh?” He cocked his eyebrow and nodded seriously. “I see. You’d better keep that secret well,
Roni. Don’t let it slip.” He sighed. “It’s getting late. I have to go back to the country for work.” He stood
up and left.
“Huh? D-Don’t leave, Matthew…” That was what she said, but what she had in mind was, Please
leave. Please, please, please, please, please. You can’t find out about the truth, or you’ll kill me.
However, he stopped right before he left the room, and the man turned around. Unlike his usually aloof
self, this perfectly sexy man had a gentle smile on his face. “Well, if you want me to stay, then I guess I
can stay.”
“What? Um…” Veronica froze up and tried her best to come up with an idea to make him leave. In the
end, she got an idea. “Matt, um, it’s really sad that I came to Castron and didn’t get a chance to go to
the biggest amusement park in the world. It’s my birthday today. Can you take me there?” She wanted
to leave the hotel as soon as possible. If she got on Matthew’s bad side, she would probably die.
He slowly came up to her and wrapped his arm around her waist. The man leaned down and pressed
his forehead against hers, looking at her with love in his eyes. “Roni…” he called her nickname
affectionately.
She fell for his gentle hold, and she calmed down. “What is it? Are you taking me to the amusement
park now?”
He shook his head imperceptibly. There were only millimeters between them.
She could feel his nose touching hers when he shook his head, and his lips brushed against hers from
time to time, which riled her up. She was waiting in anticipation for his next action, but he turned around
and lay on top of her, pinning her down on the couch. Everything spun around her, and she felt dizzy,
and before she could regain her bearings, he had already opened the present and taken the content
out.
“Don’t do it, Matthew!” she gasped, but it was too late.
Matthew held the gift up in his right hand, and he frowned. He held it between his thumb and index
finger in disgust. His face fell, and silence descended upon them. It was just like the calm before the
storm, and the air froze up.
Veronica was trying to find a way out, so she curled up and held the hem of her shirt. She cursed,
“Damn you, Larry! I’ll kill you the next time we meet!” I knew that f*cker was up to something. I f*cking
knew it!
“What is this, Ve. Ro. Ni. Ca?” Matthew glared at her, enunciating his words slowly. The look in his eyes
was threatening to burn her up.
She gulped, her face red with embarrassment, but still she forced a smile. “Um, M-Matthew, Matt, I-I
have no idea. What do you expect me to say?”
“No explanation? So you admit to cheating?”
“What? No! Of course not.” She smiled awkwardly and pointed at the transparent and sexy black lace
lingerie. One look was enough to cause stirrings in a man’s groin. If someone were to wear it, she
would probably be burned by the flames of desire.
Goddammit, Larry! You scoundrel. You couldn’t have gone with something innocent like a diffuser? You
just had to go with lingerie? She kept cursing him, but at the same time, she was coming up with an
explanation. She had a feeling he would kill her if she failed to explain herself today.
“I didn’t know you were so close to the superstar. Everyone says he never gets involved in any
scandals, but I guess they’re wrong.” He took the lingerie over and fiddled it with both hands. He was
gesticulating at Veronica with it. “Well, he did give you a present. We shouldn’t waste it, don’t you think,
Roni?”
The man might be calm and smiling, but she felt a chill run down her spine for some reason, and her
hair stood on end. Her heart was also pumping furiously. “Matt… I mean, honey… Honey…” She had
to find a way to cheer him up, so she shamelessly called him ‘honey’. “We have plenty of time to do
that in the future. Why don’t we just go to the amusement park or something?”
