Chapter 142

Not only did the trip back and forth waste Veronica‘s time, but she also ended up spending way more money than she should.

I swear to God, she silently complained, this is the worst day ever.

Upon reaching her destination, she angrily stomped into the club and headed to the elevator. Then, she swiped her special entry access card and was brought straight to the top floor of the condominium.

Her condominium unit was pitch black when she entered the space. Feeling irked, she couldn‘t be bothered to turn on the lights before taking off her shoe and familiarly coursing her way to her sofa to lie down.

However, the moment she laid her head against the throw pillow, she noticed how different the pillow under her head felt than it usually did.

Reaching out to adjust the pillow, Veronica felt an odd warmth which made her jump up at once. “Are you crazy, Matthew? Why didn‘t you turn on the lights if you were back? Are you trying to scare me to death?” she gasped..

As soon as she recalled how Matthew had treated her today, her anger immediately flared, and she abruptly stood up to walk away from him.

At that moment, all the lights in the unit were turned on.

Matthew turned to look at her only to catch the sight of her enraged face as she tramped into her room. His lips slightly quivered, but before he could even utter a word, Veronica slammed the door close with all her might.

Looking at how furious she was, Matthew‘s eyebrows furrowed as he started to worry if he had taken it too far earlier.

He then stood up and headed to the room Veronica had shut herself in. Before Veronica‘s bedroom, Matthew stood by the door and raised his hand to knock on it.

Knock, knockKnock, knock, knock

His knuckles continued to rap on the door when he didn‘t get a response from her.

“Are you still mad?” he finally asked as he couldn‘t stand the silent treatment anymore.

Squeak! Suddenly, the door swung open and out came Veronica with a luggage bag by her side. She stood in front of him with a fierce glare as she snapped, “Please don‘t block the door. Screw off.”
