Chapter 746 Here Comes Veronica (109)
"Mr. Crane." Jackson glanced at Veronica calmly. "In the Foreign Language Department, is she the only one with the surname of Luke?"
Gerardo looked at Jackson with suspicion. "Don't you know Veronica? We have another two students with the surname of Luke in the Foreign Language Department, but they are both male students." Jackson was looking for a woman, so it could only be Veronica.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Comte. We met again." Veronica was a little embarrassed, but she politely nodded to Jackson.
"Yes, we met again." Jackson didn't even want to look at Veronica. He said with a cold face, "Since she's the only female student with the surname of Luke, then I'll appoint her."
Gerardo and Wesley both had slightly surprised reactions.
However, Gerardo was experienced. No matter what happened, he was still a principal. "Veronica, since you know Mr. Comte, I won't introduce the Comte Group to you. The press conference of the Comte Group will be held tomorrow. You have to perform well tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" It was so urgent.
"Are you afraid that you can't be prepared in time?"
"But I haven't gotten the documents yet."
Jackson said indifferently, "Later, I will ask my assistant to send the documents that will be needed tomorrow to your email. You can read them first."
"OK." Veronica nodded.
After Jackson finished what he wanted to say, Gerardo and Wesley kept Veronica in the office. The two of them told Veronica something that might happen, asked Veronica to prepare in advance, and told her not to disgrace the school.
Veronica nodded and promised to do her best.
By the time the meeting ended, it was already 1:10, and there were still 20 minutes left before Veronica went to work.
As soon as Veronica came out of the principal's office, she called Raymond, telling him to wait at the gate and saying that she would be there immediately.
When Veronica walked out of the school gate, she happened to see Devin park the car outside the school. She was delighted, quickly getting in and saying, "Devin, we have to drive quickly. I have to rush to work at 1:30."
"What's the hurry?" Raymond said indifferently at the side.
"You are the boss. No one will say anything whether you are late, so of course, you are not in a hurry," Veronica snapped.
Just as she finished speaking, Veronica smelled a strong fragrance in the car. It immediately aroused her appetite, and she sniffed.
"It is spaghetti with seafood." Veronica immediately rummaged through the car and finally found it in Raymond's hands.
In addition to spaghetti with seafood, there was beef stew.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Moreover...
The spaghetti was put in a delicate glass bowl, and the fork was made of silver.
He was so fastidious.
For Veronica, as long as the food was edible, it was fine.
Veronica devoured the spaghetti, which made Raymond frown.
"Mr. Cordova, have you eaten? Do you want some?" Veronica handed Raymond the spaghetti.
Raymond frowned and retreated in disgust. "I have already eaten it. Moreover, I don't like to eat junk food."
Veronica was speechless. He said it was junk food. Veronica's expression changed slightly as she ate and mocked, "Well, of course, the high and mighty Mr. Cordova wouldn't eat such junk food." Veronica seemed to be angry.
Raymond looked at Veronica's bulging cheeks and wondered if he should coax her.
In the end, he made a decision.
"By the way, ten minutes ago, I saw Mr. Comte leave your school." Raymond changed the topic.
Hearing Raymond mention this matter, Veronica had doubts in her heart.
Somehow, Veronica felt that Jackson did not have a good impression of her and was even hostile to her, but she did not know how she had offended him.
In addition, Zoey was not likely to know Veronica's relationship with Justin now. Even if Jackson did not like Veronica because of his daughter, he would not have looked at Veronica with hatred. Veronica thought that perhaps she was mistaken.
Veronica said, "This time, the one who cooperated with the school and invited me to be the translator is Mr. Comte."
They saw Jackson at the restaurant yesterday, and Raymond knew very well how Jackson treated Veronica.
Raymond couldn't help but ask, "He invited you?"
"I don't know what happened either." Veronica scratched the back of her head. "However, after I met Mr. Comte, I felt... I had seen him before."
After seeing Jackson today, the feeling that they had met before in Veronica's heart became even stronger. However, she was very sure that she had never seen Jackson before, which made her confused. Seeing Veronica's confusion, Raymond said, "Could it be that you've seen him on television or in the newspapers? Or perhaps you met him in the mall by chance."
Hearing Raymond's words, Veronica felt that it was possible. "Perhaps."
Raymond smelled the spaghetti and frowned. "Don't think too much about it. Quickly finish your food and throw the bowl away."
Veronica thought, 'Throw it away?'
Looking at the delicate glass bowl in her hand, Veronica felt that it was a pity to throw it away. It was good to take it as a lunchbox later. Therefore, she did not throw the bowl away as Raymond asked. Instead, she kept it and did not allow Raymond to throw it away. Raymond finally compromised, but he asked her to put the box in the trunk. Otherwise, she would have to throw it away. Veronica agreed.
After work that night, Veronica came to the door early to wait for Raymond. When Raymond's car arrived, he saw Veronica waiting by the roadside. He was very surprised, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
When Veronica got into the car, she said, "Devin, we can go now. Remember to stop at the food market I mentioned."
"OK!" Devin answered.
Unfortunately, Raymond was just happy for two minutes. Veronica looked at her phone and was too lazy to say a word to Raymond.
"What are you looking at?" Raymond looked at the documents in her hands.
Seeing him tilt his head, Veronica quickly moved her phone away. She stared at him with a wary expression. "You can't look at them. This is a secret of the Comte Group. I have already signed a confidentiality agreement. I can't leak the information to anyone else."
Raymond's face darkened. "Am I someone else?"
"You are the president of the Cordova Group. This is the secret of the Comte Group. The two of you can be considered rivals. It is immoral to peep like this."
Raymond snorted, "Even if you show them to me, I won't look at them."
Veronica glanced at him and continued to look at the documents.
They were almost at the food market. Devin reminded Veronica in advance. Veronica responded, put away her phone, and prepared to get out.
However, it was at this time that Raymond's phone rang.
It was a call from Shirley's hospital. It turned out that Shirley wanted to drink water, but the caregiver went to eat. Shirley got out of bed herself, fell to the floor, and got injured.
