Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Hearing that, Matthew squinted his eyes as a trembling coldness surged in them. âCarry on!â He grew even mor e curious about the identity of the person who dared lay a finger on his woman.
Meanwhile, in Konig Company, Veronica punched her card and headed straight to the presidentâs office . She pushed open the door, only to be welcomed by Xavierâs rear figure as he was sitting on his desk,
admiring the frame of graphic text that was newly hung on his wall.
âWatch as I revitalize, sit as I imperialize. Hot damn, those are some words.â Veronica mumbled her pra ise as she subconsciously gave a thumbsâup.
Hearing that, Xavier turned around. At the sight of Veronica, the memory of the day he sent her and wat ched as she entered Twilight Condominium flashed in his mind. Hints of sadness surged in his eyes. H owever, he covered up his despair and simply chuckled. âIndeed, you watched as I revitalized, so sit by me as I imperialize the world!â The quote was composed for Veronica.
Xavier was once a known business prodigy in Bloomstead, but due to numerous triggering forces, he w as pushed over the edge and found no way to get back up, living the purposeless life of a vermin. From a prodigy to a goodâforâ
nothing, he had grown too incompetent to be likeable, and ended up being disdained by everyone he k new. Nevertheless, that only persisted until his encounter with Veronica, who inspired him to regain con trol of his life, but she wouldnât know about that.
âGood luck, Bro! Iâm rooting for you.â Veronica placed her purse aside before throwing herself onto the
couch in his officeâs lounge area. Slothfully leaning against the couch, she turned her head toward Xavi er, stating, âIâve got something to tell you.â
âWhat is it?â Xavier walked to the water dispenser and made a cup of tea for her before walking over an d serving the cup of tea to her.
âI plan to return to my hometown.â
âFor how long?â Xavier didnât give it much thought. He simply assumed that she was applying for leave.
With her elbow on the couchâs armrest and her hand supporting her chin, Veronica helplessly grinned a s she shook her head. âIâm not coming back.â
Ai once, Xavierâs brows tightened; he was shocked. âWhat, why? What happened?â
âNothing really. Having lived so long in the busy city, I thought the countryside felt better. Perhaps itâs m ore suitable for me.â
âIs it because heâs getting married to Tiffany?â As the open person he was, he laid everything out from
his heart. Prior to that day, Melissa, who had just returned from Spinfluence Group, informed him that Tiffa ny was pregnant, and it would only be a short time before they wedded each other.
Recalling that, Xavier lamented, âNow that Tiffany is pregnant, the Kings Family is going to speed up th e wedding even if itâs for the sake of pride. When the Kingses and the Larsons team up, youâ¦â Pausin g, his eyes fell upon the disaffected woman opposite him, and he stopped talking. Instead, he went on
a tangent. âAnyway, I support your decision to return. By then, Iâll have this company expanded to your
doorsteps, and you can continue to work for me.â
âHaha! Not a problem, of course! If youâre really setting up a branch there, Iâll spend the rest of my life working for you as a sp ecialized employee.â Veronica assumed the man was merely jesting. â=â=
âThatâll be the best! Our company has accepted a new project. Itâs been a while since you received you r secretary training, so youâve probably learned all the basics. Thus, your next step is managing the new business!â
Xavier said that she had been receiving training for âa while,â though she had only started one week ag o. She was guided by the executive secretary to understand every task and procedure of the company, and someti mes, she was taught about the specialized abilities of a secretary. Veronica knew that Xavier was actua lly training her.
âArenât you a sly businessman? Secretary skills, new project, then youâre gonna have me follow you for
meetings, which eventually makes me your personal assistant. Tsk, tsk⦠How calculative!â Veronica was as perceptive
as usual.
Although Xavierâs plans were exactly as Veronica stated, his true intention was to face hardship and gr ow together with her. âSince my Roni is so smart, letting her remain an ordinary employee would be such a waste of talent. Iâll double your pay as my personal assistant!â
âPraise Brother Xavier!â Veronica gave the man a big thumbsâ
up. Soon, as the smile on her face diminished, she sternly clarified, âBut I canât be by your side for long.
As I said, Iâm going back to my hometown.â
âDonât worry about that. Until you finally leave, just do whatever you can for the time being.â
âThank you. That means a lot to me.â Carrying her purse, Veronica stood up. âThen, I shall tend to my
work.â
âPlease.â Xavier nodded. After watching her leave the room, he went to sit at his desk and dialed a com pany hotline. âCome over for a bit.â
Not long after he hung up, the executive secretary walked in and stood before him. âHow may I help, Pr esident Crawford?â
âOrder some men to visit Veronicaâs hometown and see if thereâs any suitable place to set up a branch.
â As Xavier was speaking, he wrote down the womanâs hometown address and handed the note to the
executive secretary.
âRoger that, President.â
âAlso, do not let her know about this. Oh, one more thing. Prepare a private office for her.â
âOn it, President.â The executive secretary nodded in response and turned around to exit the room.
Time speedily passed. Veronica was studying the infographics of the new project at the secretariat, and And so, the duo went to a steakhouse nearby.
In the meantime, in Spinfluence Group, Tiffany, who woke up midday, received a call from Thomas. âMiss Larson, Young Master Matthew has ordered me to inform A second ago, her conscience was still hazy, but after hearing Thomasâs message, she sprung up from âItâs Young Master Matthewâs wish. You can take your confusion to him.â Thomas then went on and relay âGot it. Thanks.â Tiffany hung up. Tilted, she almost smashed her phone onto the ground, but she managed to retain her rationality and suppress her anger. âI canât be pissed now. For th âMom, Dad, Thomas⦠just called me.â Feigning disappointment, Tiffany walked over to her parents as s all, now that she was bearing a child inside of her, there was no way Matthew would refuse to marry her.
