Chapter 712 Here Comes Veronica (75)
What did Rodger come to their school for? And he seemed to be holding a bunch of flowers in his hand.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Because Veronica recognized him, she subconsciously looked at him. She saw that Rodger had walked to the school gate.
From afar, Veronica saw Shirley walking out of the school gate.
Veronica frowned when she saw Shirley.
Just as Veronica was about to turn around and leave, she saw Rodger grab Shirley's arm. When Shirley saw him, her expression instantly changed. Shirley directly threw the flowers that Rodger gave her to the ground and scolded him as a lunatic. Shirley forcefully broke free from his hand and walked to the side of the road.
Fortunately, a taxi drove over from afar. Seeing the taxi, Shirley immediately stopped it. Then, before Rodger caught up, she quickly got into the taxi and left.
Rodger, who was going to give the flowers to Shirley, watched her leave and stamped his foot angrily. In the end, he picked up the flowers on the ground with a solemn face and threw them into the trash can beside him. Then he left.
When Rodger left the school gate, he passed by Veronica. He saw her standing at the door of the restaurant looking at him. Rodger paused.
As for Veronica, when Rodger walked towards her, she pretended not to look at him. She turned around and looked away.
When Rodger stopped beside her, Veronica froze.
Veronica knew that Rodger had stopped by her side, so she did not dare to look at him. Veronica knew that Rodger realized that she was watching him just now, so she tried to hide.
"You were looking at me just now, weren't you?" Rodger's voice came from the side.
Veronica pretended not to hear him. Instead, she lowered her head and searched the ground. "Where is my key?"
Seeing that Veronica pretended not to see him or hear him, Rodger snorted and laughed out loud.
"You are indeed a beauty. Perhaps, we will meet again soon."
Rodger smiled evilly and left Veronica.
Veronica did not dare to stand up until Rodger was more than twenty meters away.
Thinking of the scene just now, Veronica began to tremble.
Veronica thought, 'It was too dangerous. What kind of person is Rodger? How could he have such a scary appearance?' Veronica shivered and walked to the bus stop at the gate of her school.
...
Later on, Raymond called Veronica again. She did not answer. Instead, Veronica sent him a message.
Veronica: "When are you going back to Peace City? Let's have a talk."
After receiving Veronica's message, Raymond called her again. But Veronica still did not answer.
That afternoon, Veronica and Stella ate together in the corner of the school canteen.
They heard two students from the other departments sitting beside them chatting. They mentioned the Cordova Group, so Veronica subconsciously slowed down to listen to their conversation.
It turned out that the Cordova Group was discussing a collaboration with the Fortune Group from the capital of Fauxport. The Fortune Group was a powerful company too. Veronica could tell that the company they were talking about was where Rodger worked.
However, the Fortune Group in Fauxport was also discussing business with the Cordova Group's rival in Peace City at the same time. Rodger would choose his partner between the two companies. Veronica had heard of the Fortune Group. It was as influential as the Cordova Group. If the Cordova Group could cooperate with the Fortune Group, it would improve its domestic performance and also make the Cordova Group advance in the international market.
This cooperation was very important to the Cordova Group.
Rodger had come to Peace City on behalf of the Fortune Group. However, he refused to see everyone from the Cordova Group.
If the Cordova Group missed the chance to cooperate with the Fortune Group, it was unknown how long it had to wait for the next opportunity.
When Veronica heard this, she furrowed.
For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. Veronica felt that the cooperation between the Cordova Group and the Fortune Group would not go smoothly. Rodger did not seem to be a good person to get along with. He must have refused to meet the people of the Cordova Group for some unknown reasons.
One of the students said mysteriously, "I heard that the representative of the Fortune Group and the Cordova Group's president went to the same university before. But he refused to see any members of the Cordova Group. It seems that he is determined not to cooperate with the Cordova Group."
The other student replied, "What? The representative of the Fortune Group and the president of the Cordova Group were classmates? Did the representative refuse them deliberately? Is your news fake?" The former answered, "Trust me, my dad works in the Cordova Group. It can't be false. I heard that the higher-ups of the Cordova Group are already in a mess. It just so happens that Mr. Cordova of the Cordova Group has been out on a business trip. When he returns, he will deal with this matter. It must be the big drama of the year."
The students continued chatting. Veronica's face was already pale.
Although the student whose father worked in the Cordova Group had always said that what he said was true, his friend did not believe it. However, Veronica felt that it was partially real.
Rodger came to Peace City, but he refused to see the people of Cordova Group, which would be beneficial to his company. Why?
Suddenly, Veronica put on a self-mocking smile.
Even if the Cordova Group couldn't cooperate with the Fortune Group, it would only earn less money. This was something that Raymond should be worried about. Why would she be worried about this? Besides, they would soon become strangers, and Raymond was the one who lied to her. Therefore, Veronica should not be worried about his company.
In the afternoon, Veronica received Raymond's call.
This time, Veronica did not ignore it. She directly picked up the phone.
"When will your class end?" Raymond asked.
"5:30 p.m."
"I'll pick you up at the entrance of your school at 5:30 p.m."
Veronica did not refuse. "Alright!"
At 5:30 p.m., after the class was over, Veronica quickly packed up her things and left the classroom. She headed straight to the gate.
When Veronica got out of the school gate, she only saw a few students there. From afar, Veronica saw Raymond's car. She walked directly to the car, opened the door, and got into it.
