Veronica clicked her tongue and said, "Only in your dreams.!! By the way, let me directly come to the point. Let me tell you for what I'm here right now.. I have something important to inform you.."
"Yeah.. What is it?" Louis didn't even glance at Veronica when she clearly announced that she had something important to discuss.
Getting angry by his frustrating behavior, Veronica took the crystal ball from Louis's table and threw it towards him, making it hit him right on his head really hard..
"Ah!! Woman.. Why did you hit me now? It really hurts.." Louis complained like a child.
Veronica stuck out her tongue like a child and said, "You were not listening to me so I thought it as the best idea to gain your attention. Now come to the main point...
*sigh*
So what I was talking about that Dad called me few hours ago.."
Louis rubbed his head where the ball had hit him hard and paused the game to focus on Veronica so that she couldn't get another chance to hit him with some other objects. After all, Louis was really afraid of Veronica specially when she became angry..
He looked at her and whined, "So what can I do if Uncle called you? I don't want to hear any father-daughter talks. My game is more important and precious than it."
"If you don't shut your f.u.c.k.i.n.g mouth then I'm going to beat the shit out of you. And I'm right now talking about something really serious so don't even think about joking again.." Veronica scolded Louis in a stern voice.
Getting afraid of the furious Veronica, Louis gulped and said, "Okay. I'll not joke anymore. Tell me what do you have to say?"
Veronica sighed and said, "Okay.. So dad called me to inform that they finally found the head designer for their new fashion showroom which is going to open in two months.
So he wanted me to send one of my best employees there for the planning of the advertising ideas of the new showroom, so that their promotional event could gain more popularity which would definitely help them to create a good marketing strategy..
And who can be better in this department other than you? That's why I've suggested dad that you would handle the project as I'm already supervising Reuben's project. I hope that you don't have any problems as you waste most of your time playing games. "
Louis nodded before replying, "Hey don't need to mock me. It's okay I'll take this project under my powerful magical wings and will make fly high in the sky..."
"The new designer will join tomorrow so you can discuss everything with her without any delay...
Now tell me when will you visit there? Is tomorrow okay for you? However, I know one thing for sure..."
"What do you know?" Louis asked in a questioning gaze.
"I know the fact that, if any other company would have a vice President like you, it would surely go bankrupt till now.." Veronica mocked.
"Will you stop mocking me now? Otherwise I'll complain to uncle tomorrow about your rude behaviour. And inform Uncle that I'll go there after lunchtime is over." Louis said.
Veronica chuckled and said, "Okay. Then it's fixed then that you'll be the one to supervise the project and if you need anything just tell me, I'll help you."
Louis smiled at her and said, "Deal then.."
Veronica smiled back and left his cabin..

Alonzo's Apartment..
In the afternoon, Alonzo was searching for the letter that Alex had left for him before his death. He kept it inside the Locker of his study room very protectively...
Finally finding it, Alonzo read it over and over again when suddenly he remembered the words of Bryce as he murmured to himself, "Bryce said that Alex had written the last few lines of the letter after the nurse had gone out of his room which means it was his last wish from me which includes the fact that he wanted me and Veronica to stay together happily for the remaining of our life.."
A bright smile appeared on his lips after reading it as he rushed out of the room in a hurry and called for his sister desperately, "Myra.. Myra.."
"Yes brother.. I'm coming.." Myra shouted back from her bedroom.
Myra entered the living room and asked, "What happened bro? Why are you shouting?"
Alonzo hugged his sister immediately and said, "Do you remember the letter of Alex, Bryce had talked about?"
When Myra nodded, he continued before handing her the letter, "Look at the last few lines where he wished me to have a happy life with Vero.."
Myra read the letter and asked confusedly, "So what brother?"
"So I'll fulfil his last wish by being with Veronica.." Alonzo said with a beaming face.
"But brother.. She is already committed to Reuben...
I know that I had told you in the past that you should fight for Vero but after seeing the pure love and affection in Vero and Reuben's eyes for each other, I'm taking back my words. They are perfectly made for each other.."
Alonzo frowned and said, "Myra, how can you back off from your words now? You wanted her to be your sister-in-law, right?
Most importantly, I love her and I have to fight for her which I'll definitely do. I had already lost so many things in my life, now I can't afford to lost Vero too.. You have to trust me sis.."
Myra sighed seeing a contrasting possessive side of her brother and said, "Brother. I trust you completely and I'll support you in everything you'll do.
But I just want you to think over everything again clear mindedly before taking any abrupt decision so that you won't regret in the near future."
Alonzo smiled and kissed his sister's forehead before comforting her, "I'll not regret it sis. Believe me.."
"I hope so..." Myra whispered lowly though she unmistakably knew in her heart that it'd be only her brother Alonzo whose heart would get broken as she herself observed the unending love in the famous REUNIC couple's eyes..
