Veronica's lips rose up like a bow in happiness as she finally arrived at her another home. But uncertain to her, this one smile would turn into different kind of expressions today when she would come face to face with one of her past...
Soon, they reached in front of Lopez Industries and one after another, the four friends got out of the car..
They entered the building and saw the employees were extremely excited and happy to see them..
"They were not this much happy yesterday when we came here?" Louis muttered lowly so that only the three girls could heard him.
The girls chuckled as Lucinda said, "Its because their all time princess had visited them finally after long time. So they couldn't help but getting excited."
Veronica then smiled evilly and mocked Louis, "Are you now getting jealous Louis about the fact that I'm the one who always get the attention from the people and you are not?"
The girls laughed out loud and Louis made a scowling face.
Everyone greeted them happily but the special treatment were given to Veronica a little bit more and she reciprocated it by giving them all a huge smile.
This went on till they reached Mr. Lopez's office where they noticed him to be in a happy mood. As soon as they entered his cabin, he greeted then all with a smile whereas Veronica just hugged him tightly.
Mr. Lopez hugged his daughter back and said, "Finally my daughter got some free time to come to her father's office. I should say thanks to Lucy for this."
Lucinda chuckled and said, "Its okay uncle. You are already helping me with the dress."
"Oh!! By the way, congratulations on yesterday's revelation. And one more thing, I forgot to tell you that the engagement dress of yours will be a gift from me and your aunty as I know that your best friend Vero already have something special in her mind." Mr. Lopez said.
Veronica pouted and said, "Dad, don't spoil my plan.."
Beaming brightly, Lucinda went towards Mr. Lopez and hugged him tight before saying, "Thanks a lot Uncle. You really gave me the best gift.."
"Yaa.. Don't already predict dad's gift as the best one. We all are here too. You should first see all of our gifts on your engagement day then claim the gift to be the best one." Veronica said as Willa and Louis nodded.

Brown Corporation...
Alonzo was sitting in his office room with Cole in front of him.
"So have you decided anything?" Alonzo asked.
"Yeah.. I have thought about it for the past few days and searched about the best companies which could help us in settling my business here." Cole informed Alonzo.
Alonzo nodded and said, "That's good. Then what is your final resolve?"
Leaving a sigh, Cole said, "I already talked with one of the companies and they agreed to be partner with us. But what I am right now focused on, is the new showroom that is going to open soon."
"New showroom? Who is launching it?" Alonzo asked it as he was not aware of any new shop to get opened recently.
Cole narrated everything to Alonzo, "Actually Lopez Industries is planning to open their own designer brand soon and their first showroom is all ready to inaugurate in the next two months...
As you know that the company is already on the top at launching the biggest shopping malls with awesome facilities, so the upcoming showroom is also going to be a big hit...
And I'm exactly planning to have an appointment with Mr. Lopez for a merger between both of our companies. We could distribute them various types of well stitched clothes for their designer dresses and then it will be win-win situation for both."
"Well, that's a great idea, I must say. So when are you going to meet him?" Alonzo asked.
"I already told my assistant to send a request for an urgent appointment to Mr. Lopez's secretary team. Let's see when will he approve it?" come said.
"Hmm.. By the way, I forgot to tell you , I already selected few convenient apartments for you. So now you just have to select one among them." Alonzo informed.
Cole smiled and said, "Thanks for the help buddy. However, Veronica is really pretty.."
Hearing the name of Veronica, Alonzo raised his eyebrows and said, "Veronica as if the Veronica I have talked to you about?"
"Yeah... The same Veronica Lopez. I met her the day I went to fetch Myra and Regina from the shopping mall. She is really beautiful.."
Alonzo smiled and said, "I know that very well.."

Lopez Industries…
The four persons were busy in their chatting with Mr. Lopez when he said, "Sorry kids. I have to leave now as I have a very important meeting to attend. You guys meet with Diana after you finish with your snacks. And don't forget to meet me before leaving."
All of them nodded and Mr. Lopez left with his assistant for the meeting when Mr. Brooks came with few of other employees.
"Ms. Veronica?" Mrs. Brooks called for her.
"Oh, Mrs. Brooks… How are you and how are your little kids?" Veronica asked with a smile on her face.
"They are all good. We just came here to give you these." Mrs. Brooks said as the employees handed her a basket.
"What is in it?" Veronica asked taking the basket from her hand but when she opened it, her face bloomed into a beautiful smile.
The employees smiled at her and one of them said, "We know that you love chocolates. So we've prepared this as a gift for you."
Veronica beamed at them and said, "Thank you so much. Today's dinner is from me."
After few more talking the employees left and the four also decided to visit Diana.
As they stood in front of Diana's cabin, Louis knocked the door and Veronica felt nervousness all over her body as if she was going for a huge battle but when the door finally opened, Veronica's eyes turned wide in utter shock…
