CHAPTER 116

“Can I have your number, please?” Aman approached Veronica and asked for her phone number, but she turned away from him. “Excuse me, miss.” he asked again.

“You are excused,” she replied.

“Geez,” he shook his head and walked away.

“Hmph, every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants my number these days,” she murmured to herself and then walked up to a waiter. His handsome features struck her ego at once.

“It’s a wig, ma’am.”

“You mean…” she observed his expression. “Stalking?”

“Something like that,” he said, maintaining the poker face.
