Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 102

　　When Veronica returned to their table, Katarina wasn't there. She turned to the Sy Madam and told her that Rawlf will be arriving.

　　"Alright, I also wanted to rest so I'll leave together with you."

　　"How about staying at the villa for tonight mom. After all, it's already late", Veronica urged the Sy Madame.

　　"Maybe next time. I left my gifts for the kids back at Ninety nine mansion. I'll be visiting them tomorrow anyway", The Sy Madame named her mansion as Ninety nine mansion to attract good luck.

　　Veronica no longer argued and just let the Sy Madam from indulging in her happiness to spoil the children with presents.

　　After some time, she received a call from Rawlf telling her that he's already waiting at the south wing parking lot of the building. Unfortunately, Sy madam's car was parked in the center of the parking lot, therefore she insisted on walking Sy Madame in the car. She gave Rawlf a call to wait for her a little bit.

　　Walking back, Veronica saw a familiar back figure of a man. Her whole body trembled and she stopped walking to control her emotions. The man already left her view and there was a sharp glint that appeared in her eyes.

　　Having to reach Rawlf's car, she already saw the man outside waiting for her. Her troubled emotions steadied after seeing the man looking her way. She continued walking at the same time, Rawlf walked to approach her.

　　Reaching her, Rawlf then cupped her face and kissed her on the mouth.

　　Due to the emotions she had earlier, Veronica was extra aggressive as she responded to the man's kisses.

　　It lasted for a while until Rawlf separated their lips from each other and hugged the woman. He could sense something was wrong so he asked,

　　"What happened?"

　　Veronica tightened her embrace on the man's body, taking in his scent that made her feel warm

　　, comfortable and above all else, safe. Veronica shook her head.

　　"Nothing. I was afraid that Secretary Ryan had successfully taken you away from me. I'm just trying to stake my claim." Veronica giggled.

　　Rawlf knew that there's something more to it and it's not simple yet seeing her avoid the question, Rawlf respected this. But that doesn't mean he won't be aware of it. He wanted to show her he respects her every decision but if it's something he could smell something wrong from, then that's the bottom line.

　　And this time, Rawlf could smell trouble.

　　He walked back to their car while Veronica was in his embrace.

　　Veronica looked up over the man when she realized that Secretary Ryan must have seen what happened between her and Rawlf earlier.

　　Although they're a couple and there's nothing wrong about it, still, the public display of affection earlier made Veronica feel awkward.

　　Sensing her gaze and understanding her line of thoughts, Rawlf smirked, "Secretary Ryan already left earlier. I'll drive us home."

　　Veronica rolled her eyes then smiled. After getting inside the car, Rawlf fixed her seatbelt then kissed her on the forehead before finally starting the car.

　　It's already eleven minutes past eleven in the evening when they arrive at De Oro mansion.

　　Veronica checked the kids in each of their respective rooms, fixed their blankets and pillow, and adjusted the air conditioner before finally leaving for the master bedroom. Rawlf wasn't inside their room when she entered, 'he's probably in the study' she thought.

　　She took her night gown in the drawer and went inside the bathroom to freshen up.

　　When she went outside, she saw the man who had just placed a glass of milk on the nightstand beside her side of the bed. The man looked at her.

　　"Drink the milk first before sleeping. The temperature is slightly warm, be careful." "I can't finish it."

　　"It's okay. I'll finish it if you can't. Just leave it there."

　　The man then moved towards the wardrobe to take his boxer short and entered the bathroom to freshen up as well.

　　Veronica smiled softly as she looked at the glass of milk. She drank the half and left the half for Rawlf to finish.

　　Afterwards, he laid her body on the soft bed and sighs in relief.

　　It's not that she already forgot what she saw earlier but remembering that Rawlf is beside her, she quickly recovered. After all, she's nothing like that emotionally and physically weak woman from four years ago.

　　Another sharp glint appeared on her eyes. It seems like she needs to visit Baelforce Headquarter tomorrow again.

　　Zero has another hard task to do. But at least this time, there's a lead.

　　Unlike others, Veronica always makes sure that she checks all information first before anything else. It's not that she's paranoid by just seeing that familiar back figure.

　　She is with her kids now.

　　And above anything else, their safety is her priority. But that doesn't mean she already forgot about that incident that could have cost the twins lives if she's not lucky enough and if not because of her uncle Bien years ago.

　　Speaking of her uncle Bien, Veronica also thought of calling her good uncle tomorrow.

　　Veronica's breath was already steady signaling her already entering dreamland when Rawlf went out of the bathroom. His face softened looking at his sleeping woman on their bed.

　　However, his eyes darkened when he remembered how he sensed the troubled emotion from her.

　　That's why while she's checking each of the twins' rooms, he made a call in the study to confirm something. And indeed, there was something that caused her troubled emotion.

　　He tasked his men to carefully guard Veronica and then call Secretary Ryan at once to task something.

　　The poor Secretary who was about to sleep was awakened by his fierce boss and needed to stay the night facing his computer.
