She gave them their gifts which she had bought from city B for them. She also visited Smith, Wilson, Johnson and Morgan elders to hand them their presents along with all of her friends except one person…
That person was Mr. Reuben Smith who had already placed a secured position in her heart from their childhood. But now that position has accelerated to another level which defined her melting heart…
It had been two days since Veronica had returned from city B but she still hadn't gone to visit Reuben for once because she was waiting for a perfect moment.
She wanted to give everyone their gifts first before meeting him as Reuben's gift was very much special and completely different from others.
But what was shocking for her was that Reuben hadn't ever tried to meet her after she came back which was completely unexpected from him. He even didn't have called her for once..
Even whenever Veronica tried to call him, he would always reject the call or wouldn't pick it up. This was making Veronica really frustrated.
Didn't he say he would miss her before she left for city B??
Not only that, Reuben even went to city B just for a simple project just to meet Veronica…
Then why he is ignoring her now?
Were all of his 'miss you' messages that he had sent to her fake??
Didn't he mean it at all or was he just trying to play with her feelings??
No...!!!!!!
That couldn't ever happen as Reuben was not like other guys who would play with a girl's feeling…specially when the person was Veronica herself, for whom Reuben had always been so overprotective that he had never given any other boys even a single chance to become close to her more than a friend...
He would always threaten those guys along with her brothers who would initiate a proposal kind of thing to her…
Then why he was avoiding her calls after making her fall deep in love with him?
Yes…!!!
It's true that Veronica had started falling in love with Reuben and she was absolutely ready to accept her love for him.
Actually that was also a wrong statement…
Because Veronica had started loving Reuben from past few years but she never understood this...
But as people said, distance made people understand the real worth of a person...
So like this, Veronica also realised her true feelings about Reuben which was no more prohibited inside the boundary of friendship but it had crossed all those insecurities and bounds, turning it into a pure force of love..
While Veronica was staying in city B, he really had made a lots of new friends but she never forgot to miss Reuben.
She was thinking about him so much in all those six months as if her mind was revolved only around him.
Now the distance between them even when they were in same city, was making Veronica's mood so much pissed off that she wanted nothing but to bang Reuben's head with the wall..
So without waiting anymore, she decided to call Tom as she knew that Tom would not dare to reject her call in fear of her foul mood later...
Tom was giving orders to few of the workers when his phone rang. He saw that it was Veronica's call and his inner veins suddenly shuddered in fear.
He knew exactly why Veronica was calling him and the reason was his boss who was not answering her call intentionally as he was busy in planning a big surprise for someone special..
Calming his nerves down, Tom wiped the sweat in his palms on his pants and picked up the call, "Hello ma'am?"
"Hello Tom.. Where is your Boss? And why is he not accepting my calls?" Veronica asked.
Tom gulped his saliva and stuttered while saying, "Uhmm…Ma'am Boss is in an important meeting. Maybe that's why he isn't receiving your call."
"Oh really? Your boss is having a meeting and you're not accompanying him? Instead you're talking with me here without getting scared of losing your job...
Do you think me as a fool?" Veronica raised her voice high in the last sentence as she very expertly caught Tom's big white lie..
Tom was now sweating vigorously and his forehead had completely covered with perspiration. He was at loss of his words and was praying to God to save his life from her.
"Are you going to keep mum or tell me the truth? Okay fine…you don't need to tell me anything. Just do one thing for me…
Go to your boss and tell him that I'm waiting for his call. And if he doesn't call me back in next five minutes, then I'm coming to his office to thrash him out of his cabin and kick him in his guts.." Veronica lashed out angrily.
Hearing the scary order from Veronica, Tom nodded his head like an obedient child and ran to Reuben's room as Veronica had already cut the call without waiting for his answer.
Tom knocked Reuben's door hurriedly. After getting a positive response from him, Tom just rushed into his cabin and stood in front of him and started taking deep breaths..
Reuben looked up at him with his raised eyebrows as he asked, "What happened to you? Why are you inhaling and exhaling so deeply?"
Tom stared at his face and said quickly, "Boss… Ms. Veronica has called me just now and threatened me telling that...if you don't give her a call in five minutes then she'd come here to beat you up.."
As soon as the words left from Tom's mouth, Reuben's eyes widened in shock as he muttered exasperatedly, "No.. She can't come here all of a sudden. If she visit me in the office then all of our secrets will be revealed to her and our plan will get failed."
"Yes.. Boss.. You're right. That's why I'm telling you to call Ms. Veronica and have a talk with her, so that you could stop her from coming here…" Tom suggested.
