A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 654 Here Comes Veronica (17)



In the evening, someone from the translation firm suddenly said that they wanted to have a party and asked Veronica to attend.

Veronica hesitated. She called home and knew from Marie that Raymond also went to a party and wouldn't come home for dinner. Thus, Veronica agreed to join her collogues for dinner.

Because the profit of the translation firm soared this month, the boss of the firm, Augustine Fleming, was raptured and invited the important staff member to have a dinner party at a five-star hotel.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

After entering the hotel, Veronica's colleagues were all mesmerized by the splendid interior decoration of the hotel and never stopped praising it.

Veronica's father used to run a company. Before Veronica's parents divorced, her mother often brought Veronica to a five-star hotel to eat. Veronica was familiar with the interior design of a five-star hotel, so she was as wonderstruck as her colleagues.

Augustine went to the front desk and booked a room. Then he went to the hall to greet the staff members.

When Augustine walked to Veronica, he gently placed his palm on Veronica's back.

"Veronica, I booked a room. Shall we go?"

After his voice trailed off, he withdrew his hand.

Veronica could feel the warmth of his palm, but it didn't last long. Therefore, she believed that Augustine only touched her waist by accident and was not offended by it. "Yes, Mr. Fleming!" Veronica nodded.

In Augustine's opinion, Veronica's reaction seemed to be more than just a refusal. It was like she was giving him consent. So, Augustine started ogling Veronica.

Just as Veronica followed Augustine and others to the elevator, a few people came in from outside.

There was Raymond, his assistant, his secretary, and a director of the Cordova Group's PR Department.

Raymond's left arm was injured. In order to hide the plaster on his arm, Raymond specially wore a loose shirt and draped the suit on his shoulder, covering his entire left arm under the suit. When Raymond and others appeared, Veronica's colleagues exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah, look, that is Raymond. Raymond Cordova!"

"It really is him. I didn't expect to see him here."

Veronica heard her colleagues discussing Raymond and frowned.

What was going on? Why did Raymond happen to come to this hotel?

Veronica subconsciously looked over and saw a man surrounded by several Cordova Group employees and bodyguards.

Raymond's suit pants were well-ironed. The suit jacket was draped over his shoulders, so no one could tell that his left arm was covered in a cast. His face was chiseled. His body was tall and straight. His posture was extremely elegant as if he was a prince in the movies.

Veronica looked at Raymond and knitted her brows.

Raymond looked completely different from when he was at home. The person in front of her was noble and gentle, but the person at home was cold and unapproachable.

Veronica was surprised when she heard the people around her discussing Raymond.

"Is this Raymond very famous? Why do you all know him?"

A female colleague immediately rolled her eyes at Veronica and said, "Don't tell me you don't know who Raymond is?"

Veronica was confused.

Was it strange that someone didn't know about Raymond?

The colleague noticed Veronica's expression and immediately explained, "You should at least know about the Cordova Group, right?"

Veronica nodded in agreement.

She naturally knew about the Group. Pretty much everyone in the entire Peace City knew about it.

The female colleague added, "This Raymond is the current CEO of the Cordova Group."

Veronica's eyes widened when she heard what the colleague said.

"What did you say? He's the CEO? But, isn't the CEO of the Cordova Group called Bryson Cordova?"

The female colleague rolled her eyes again. "That's old news. Three years ago, the CEO was replaced by Raymond. The former CEO, Bryson, became the chairman and almost lived a retired life. Now, Raymond controls the entire Cordova Group. He is the most desired bachelor in our city."

The woman held her face and watched Raymond walking towards the elevator. Her eyes were instantly sparkling.

"He is handsome and rich. Moreover, he didn't have any scandals with any women. He's not a player. I suspect that Raymond might still be a virgin. Goodness, he is my dream guy. If I can be with him even for one night, my life will be fulfilled!"

Veronica was tongue-tied.

Veronica felt that this was the most shocking news she heard today.

Unexpectedly, Raymond was the CEO of the Cordova Group.

Originally, Veronica admired the former CEO, Bryson a lot.

Although Bryson was almost sixty years old, Veronica still thought he was handsome and young as if he never aged.

Especially Bryson and his wife, they loved each other very much, which made Veronica very envious.

Veronica once decided that if she could not become a diplomat, she would work hard to get into the Cordova Group's Department of Foreign Affairs.

Nevertheless, when Veronica realized that Raymond was the current CEO, she completely lost interest in the Cordova Group.

Veronica muttered in a low voice as Raymond passed by.

"Dream guy? He is just a scum!"

Veronica thought that Raymond couldn't hear her complaint.

But, Raymond had exceptionally good hearing. He heard every single word that Veronica said.

When Veronica finished speaking, she felt a pair of cold eyes staring at the back of her head, which immediately sent shivers down her spine.

She just spoke ill of Raymond. Did he hear what she just said?

Knowing that Raymond was right behind her, Veronica did not dare to turn back.

However, the woman standing in front of Veronica held Veronica's hand and yelled excitedly, "Veronica, Veronica, Raymond is looking over. He must be looking at me. Oh, my..." Veronica watched her colleague go crazy and felt even more guilty.

The woman screamed again, "Ah, Raymond is coming over. He is coming. He must have taken a fancy to me."

Veronica didn't know what to say.
