Chapter 247 - Billion dollars question...

Creation…

Willa entered Veronica's cabin with a cup of coffee and handed it to her before greeting, "Good morning.."

Veronica smiled at her and said, "Morning."

Willa took a seat in front of her as both of the friends drank their coffee silently while Veronica kept staring at Willa with a teasing smile on her face.

Noticing the weird gaze on her which was directly coming from Veronica, Willa asked with her raised eyebrows, "What?"

Veronica grinned sheepishly and said, "You are glowing Willa. Seems like the magic of love is heaving on you slowly slowly. And I'm really happy for you."

Willa's face turned red because of blushing hard as she argued, "What are you saying Vero? Nothing like this. Maybe it's the work of the new facial mask I've been using.."

"Ah.. So it's the new facial mask..!! So Willa now that we're best friends, you should also tell me the name of the facial mask that you are using...

I also want to glow so that I can seduce my Bennie more.." Veronica teased.

Turning more red, Willa tried to hide the smile on her face and said, "I forgot the name of the mask.."

"Oh.. Really? But I know the name of the mask." Veronica said making Willa looked at her in pure confusion.

Veronica grinned evilly and winked at Willa before saying, "The name of the face mask is, 'The Power of Neil Mask', Isn't it?"

Willa threw the file that was near her on Veronica which made both of them laugh really loudly as they continued their teasing each other when someone knocked on their door.

"Who is it?" Veronica asked after suppressing her laughter and Willa also did the same.

Louis peeked through the door opening it a little which was enough to show his face and asked smilingly, "Am I disturbing you girls?"

Both Willa and Veronica shook their head at him in denial as Veronica said, "No. We're just joking about random stuffs. Don't stand there and come in...

Also stop behaving like you have never barged in my cabin without knocking ever.."

Louis rolled his eyes at Veronica's sarcastic comment and said, "Very funny.."

"No.. You are funny." Veronica retorted while Willa laughed.

Ignoring the girls, Louis entered and took a seat beside Willa before snatching the coffee mug from her hand and took a sip from it which let him earn a tight slap on his shoulder from Willa.

"Don't drink from my mug. If you need coffee, then make one for yourself." Willa shouted at him.

Veronica shook her head at Louis and asked sarcastically, "So what is the reason of your VIP like presence here, Mr. Vice President?"

Louis cleared his throat and sat with a straight posture on the chair and kept the fingers of both his hands intertwined on the table before saying, "Actually, I have something to discuss with you about your father's company's new project."

Hearing the mention of Lopez Industries, Veronica's eyes perked up and three of them became serious when Veronica asked, "What happened? Is anything serious there?"

Seeing the Veronica's face was becoming tensed, Louis said, "Don't worry. Nothing is wrong there. Actually, it's not about the project but the head designer who is designing everything."

Both Willa and Veronica shared a look with each other as Willa asked, "The head designer? What about her?"

Sighing deeply, Louis looked at both of the girls and said, "You remember Veronica, you asked me few days ago if I was alright or not."

When Veronica nodded her head, Louis continued, "Actually, the night we met at Fusion, everyone left the restaurant while I was busy with a phone call when I got collided with a girl.."

As soon as Louis mentioned the word 'girl', the excitement in the girls' hearts raised at the top and both of them gaped at him with rounded eyes to signal him to continue more...

Watching the exited gaze of the girls, Louis chuckled and continued, "She was really really beautiful. Seeing her for the first time, made me feel like I had seen the most beautiful woman of the world...

I feel like there was an unknown spark between us. And when she said her name before leaving, her voice was so melodic that I kept on thinking about her...

But after that, I never found her again. I even asked the manager of Fusion if he knew about her but he didn't have any idea about who she is. So I became sad about the fact that maybe I would not be able to see the angelic face of her again.."

"Then? Did you find her?" Willa asked.

Veronica also nodded with her and waited for Louis' answer.

Whereas Louis sighed before giving a big smile to them as he said, "Yup.. I saw her again. And I couldn't believe that luck would be with me so much that I'd find her at the most unexpected place.."

"Now please don't tell me that she is the head designer of my father's company.." Veronica chided in.

Louis made a face of annoyance and said grumpily, "Can't you be a little less intelligent, Vero? You ruined my surprise."

"Well, it's not my fault that I'm very much clever." Veronica shrugged her shoulders in pride whereas Willa giggled.

"So what are you gonna do now?" Willa asked.

"I'm going to approach her as a friend first...then I'll try to progress our friendship in the next level. I have to also know right, if she feels the same for me." Louis narrated.

"So what do you feel for her?" Veronica asked the billion dollars question this time.

Louis became dumbfounded when Veronica suddenly asked the question but pondering over some while to think about his exact feelings for Diana, he said, "I'm sure about the fact that I don't love her yet but there is something in her which attracts me towards her. So I want to befriend her first to know about her more.."

"That's a good idea indeed. Just don't take any step in hurry which will make you regret later.." Veronica suggested.

Louis nodded before replying, "I know.."

Lopez Industries...

"Ma'am you had call for me?"

Diana was busy in her work in her cabin when her supposed to be assistant came in..

"Yes, please take a seat." Diana said.

The assistant sat in front of Diana and bowed her head down.

Diana observed her carefully and asked after a minute, "Why are you hiding yourself from me, Rachel?"
