Chapter 689 Here Comes Veronica (52)
Kyla smiled and said to Gretchen.
"The company has sent someone else to be responsible for the interpretation, so you don't have to go."
The company arranged for someone else to go.
Before this, Gretchen hadn't heard about anyone else taking over the job.
Moreover, no one else in the company dared to take over her job, except...
Gretchen suddenly thought of Veronica, who had been called to the office by Willie, and her body trembled violently.
It was Veronica again.
Veronica, who was in her seat, felt Gretchen's gaze from behind and could not help but feel helpless.
She originally thought the real-time interpretation was passed to her because no one else would do it. Unexpectedly, it was originally Gretchen's work and was transferred to her at the last minute. After this, Gretchen must hate her to the bones.
Veronica had only been in the company for a day, but she had already offended a worker in the company. She felt that her future days spent in the company wouldn't be smooth.
But Veronica had no way to deal with it, so she got back to work.
After work, Veronica came out of the translation office. After she left the building, she saw a familiar car parked on the side of the road.
However, before she reached the side of the car, she saw a figure standing by the side of the car.
It was Gretchen.
Gretchen lowered her head to say something to Raymond who was in the car.
Veronica had good eyesight. Standing in the distance, she could clearly see Raymond's smile.
She wondered if the two were acquaintances.
Veronica frowned and turned to the subway station which was not far away from the building.
Veronica had yet to reach the subway station when she heard a loud honk of a car. Veronica was shocked and almost jumped up. She turned around and saw Raymond whose car was parked close to her. Raymond ordered, "Get in the car!"
Veronica kept quiet for a second.
Then she turned around and looked in the direction behind her. Gretchen had disappeared. She should have left the road.
Veronica pointed to the subway station and said, "I think I should take the subway. I don't need you to offer me a lift."
"I said get in the car!" Raymond's face darkened. "I can take you back on the way so that you can get back to work as fast as possible!"
Veronica was speechless.
She secretly cursed Raymond for being so mean!NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Veronica pouted and had no choice but to open the front passenger door and get in.
"Fasten your seatbelt!" Raymond reminded.
Hearing that, Veronica tied up the safety belt, and Raymond drove off.
Unfortunately, Raymond had just driven Veronica onto a bridge when they encountered a traffic accident.
It was originally the rush hour. So after the traffic accident happened, it became more crowded on the bridge.
After waiting for half an hour, the police finally rushed over to deal with the traffic accident. The vehicles slowly moved forward. Originally, it would only take half an hour to drive. But actually, Raymond drove for more than an hour to reach the Cordova's villa.
When they got off the car, Veronica muttered, "If I had taken the subway, I would have arrived long ago!"
Raymond didn't respond.
Raymond thought to himself, 'It's such a mistake to specially drive there to pick her up. She can get back by subway in the future. I won't go again.'
With that in mind, he slightly nodded to himself.
After they returned to the villa, Marie, who was preparing dinner, suddenly fainted on the ground. Veronica was so scared that she quickly called Raymond over and asked Raymond to drive Marie to the hospital, leaving Louis to keep an eye on the villa.
In the hospital.
Marie was lying on the bed, and her face was as pale as paper.
Fortunately, Marie's fainting wasn't caused by anything serious this time. It was caused by hypoglycemia.
Marie looked at Raymond and Veronica with guilt.
"Mr. Cordova, Veronica, I'm sorry for making you two worry about me."
Veronica held Marie's hand and comforted her. "Marie, the most important thing is your safety. You must be careful next time. Don't forget that you have diabetes. So you must get something to eat at around 5 in the afternoon no matter if you feel hungry or not. Otherwise, it is very easy to cause hypoglycemia."
Marie smiled at Veronica. "Okay, I know. I will listen to you."
Compared to Marie's family, Veronica cared more about Marie, which made Marie like Veronica even more.
Veronica heaved a sigh of relief when she heard what Marie said.
"The doctor has said that you need to have a good rest here tonight. Although it's not a big problem, you have to stay in the hospital for the night before you can leave the hospital tomorrow." Marie would only be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
At the thought of this, Marie frowned and looked a little anxious. "How can that be? I have to make breakfast tomorrow morning. Besides, I only have hypoglycemia. I don't need to stay in the hospital!" "No, Marie, you must listen to the doctor's instructions!" Veronica held on to Marie's arm. "You can stay here at ease. Leave the breakfast of tomorrow to me."
Raymond echoed, "She's right, Marie. You should stay in the hospital."
Seeing Veronica and Raymond say this, Marie could only sigh.
"Alright then."
But Marie was still concerned about them.
Considering Veronica and Raymond had sent Marie to the hospital without having dinner, after Marie got settled in the hospital, Marie claimed that there were nurses in the hospital and that she had almost recovered so nothing would happen to her. Then she drove Veronica and Raymond out of the hospital.
Veronica and Raymond saw that Marie insisted and had no choice but to leave. They also learned from the nurse that Marie would be fine in the hospital alone. After that, they left without worries. After leaving the hospital, Veronica and Raymond found that they were already very hungry.
"Treat me to a meal!" Raymond spoke.
Veronica was speechless.
"Didn't you say that you would provide accommodations? You're the one who is supposed to pay for the meal, right?" Veronica refuted Raymond unhappily.
Raymond rolled his eyes at Veronica. "You're so stingy."
"You should be the stingy one. The Cordova Group is so rich, but you always let me, a penniless girl, pay the bill. And the two thousand I earned by working is still in your hands." Raymond didn't know how to reply.
In the end, it was still Raymond who paid.
Raymond was a fastidious person.
After deciding to have dinner outside, he directly drove Veronica to a private restaurant.
After arriving at the restaurant, just looking at the high-end decoration, Veronica knew that the dishes there must be expensive.
When they sat down, the waiter brought the menu over.
Because it was Raymond's treat, Veronica was very generous and ordered two relatively expensive dishes on the menu.
After ordering, Veronica went to the washroom. When Veronica returned to the private room from the washroom, she saw a beautiful woman walking into the private room where Raymond was. When she saw the woman, Veronica's eyes lit up with surprise.
It was Shirley. Veronica didn't expect to meet Shirley here.
She quickly walked closer to the private room and heard Shirley's voice.
"Raymond, it's been a while!"
