Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Veronica and Xavier-both of whom were in the public’s eye-were currently enjoying skewers at an open-air food stall.

“Well, since your parents have gone back home, when are you planning to come work at my company? By the way, what do you do at your company?” Xavier asked as he chewed his mouthful of skewered lamb.

Even thoughi Xavier, a young master from the Crawford Family, which was one of The Four Big Families of Bloomstead, had graced this humble stall with his presence, other patrons of the place could still easily tell that he was on a different level from them. He had a rare kind of elegant temperament that made it hard for others to approach him.

At his question, Veronica turned to look at him. Besides the pair of sunglasses that was gently tucked on the bridge of Xavier’s nose, he also had on a floral shirt and a pair of similar-looking pants. Even though he looked frivolous with one arm propped up against the window while the other held onto the steering wheel, his eccentric appearance still failed terribly at diminishing his good looks. It was an undeniable fact that Xavier was a handsome man. With his devilishly attractive features, he was a bad boy to the bone.

After a few moments of silence from her, he said again, “Hey, I’m asking you a question here.”

“I manage the marketing department,” she quickly answered after she was brought out of her reverie.

“Oh, just join the project department in my company, then,” he said. “Might as well learn something there.”

Her interest was obviously piqued at his nonchalant reply. “Can I really?” she asked just to make sure.

“I’m the boss. My word is the law.” His eyebrows were slightly raised as he replied with a pleased smile on his face.

Unbeknownst to him, Veronica wasn’t asking if Xavier would really take her in. She was, in fact, asking if she would be able to learn something worthwhile if she were to work in his company.

A smile then began to grow on her lips too Making do with tea instead of wine, she

raised her cup and lightly knocked it against Xavier’s. “Here’s to cheers for being my future boss then. I look forward to working under your guidance!”

And with that, their conversation for the rest of the night was filled with joyful laughter. It seemed as though being with Xavier was the only time she could let go of all inhibitions. After having their full of skewers, they both eventually parted ways to go back to their individual homes.

It was an instant knockout for Veronica–who had been giving her all at work for the past few days. After stepping into her room, she made sure to lock her bedroom door before going to wash up and finally hitting the sack.
