Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 396 Goodbye, Demoness

Veronica could be herself around Larry. Even though it had been years since they last met, she still felt as close to him as ever.

“Why did you put on that makeup though? I wouldn’t have recognized you if it weren’t for your voice and that slip.” He knew she was a great makeup artist when they first met. It had been years since they saw each other though, so he never thought that the beautiful blonde would be her.

She lowered her head and stirred her coffee. Her eyes glinted, and she lied, “I might have gotten rusty. It’s been a while since I did any makeup, and I was bored, so…”

“Mia told me you’re her assistant. Is that true?” She was a smart woman back in their school days, and she had a lot of business ideas. He thought she would be a businesswoman when she grew up, but he never thought she would be the assistant of a no-name model. He thought it was a shame, but he could never tell her that, so he suggested, “Wanna work for me? My assistant is shit. We can’t get along. I wanna hire someone else.”

“As if!” She knew what he was getting at, so she said, “I mean, money doesn’t grow on trees, so I started working for a modeling agency. The boss wanted me to take care of Mia and see the world, so here I am.”

“I knew it. You already resold phones back in junior high. I knew you’d never settle for a model’s assistant’s job.”

The mention of her past made him shake his head, but he was smiling. He knew about her past thanks to Hendrey. She started wholesaling cheap phones in the no-name phone market and resold them to her classmates in her junior year. They could not pay her the full amount at one go, so she provided instalments and charged interest on it. She was ahead of her time back then.

“Oh, stop teasing me. Look at me. I have to work as a model’s assistant. Life is bad enough for me,” she mocked herself.

Just then, a waiter came in and handed them menus. They made their orders and kept chatting. In between, Mia would not stop calling her, so Veronica blocked her. It would be a disturbance otherwise.

“You’re successful both back home and overseas. Are you going to expand your career in Destor or work your way up Horrywoodo?” Veronica asked as she dug in her meal.
