Chapter 145
The phone in Veronica‘s pocket rang all of a sudden as she walked out of the basement car park dejectedly.
When she took out her phone, she couldn‘t help but think of Matthew. For one second, she even had the anticipation that the call could possibly be from him, but she then recalled that she had already blocked his contact.
So, when Veronica looked at the phone screen to see Xavier‘s number, she heaved a sigh of relief inwardly and answered the call. “Hey, Xavier.”
“What‘s up? Do you want to come out for supper?” Xavier asked on the other end of the line.
He knew Veronica was going to leave Bloomstead soon, so he wished to ask her out and spend more time with her.
“Sure, since I haven‘t had dinner yet, but the meal is on you today—I‘m broke.” Veronica couldn‘t help feeling distressed at the thought of the sum that she had spent last night.
“That‘s not a problem at all, but can you please don‘t ditch me at that kind of cheap motel again if I become drunk next time? I‘ll pay you back anyway.”
Only Xavier knew how miserable it was to wake up in a cheap motel.
“Haha… I‘m broke, you see. It‘s hard to earn a living. Haha…”
Laughing heartily, Veronica felt a sense of ease that was only possible when she was with Xavier.
With that, the two decided to meet at John‘s, where Veronica bought Xavier a meal for the first time.
After meeting up, they found a table near the entrance. Then, Veronica ordered some dishes and a dozen beers as she sat down and started chatting away with Xavier.
“You told me you had something to attend to so you couldn‘t make it to the office this morning. What is it that kept you busy the whole day?”
Sitting across Veronica, Xavier stared at her fixedly with his eyes glistened.
At the mention of today‘s incident, the smile on Veronica‘s face obviously became still, but she quickly lifted her brows and grinned. “Nothing. It‘s just… I had a long day yesterday and was a bit tired.”
