Chapter 140 - Exasperated.

"Hi there "

Rawlf: "...."

Secretary Ryan: "..."

Dmitri: "...…"

Zero: "...…"

Veronica stood up like nothing happened and smiled sweetly towards Rawlf. She approached them and asked, "What are you doing here?", she's looking at Rawlf.

"Just checking on you." The man said quietly and pulled the woman to his embrace. "Fix this you three." He said without looking back and started walking out the house, Veronica in his embrace.

The three men looked at each other and as soon as the couple left, they simultaneously look at the fainted woman on the floor. "Wow." Dmitri murmured.

Rawlf opened his car's passenger's seat door and let Veronica entered first before walking on the other side to get in the driver seat.

After he entered and seated himself, he looked at the woman who was already looking at him. "I told you I could handle it."

He heard say. "Hmm. Just checking out," Rawlf replied and as his eyes landed on her other shoulder, his eyes turned dark. "You're injured." The man's voice held a gloomy tone..

"Just a little grazed." Veronica replied yet Rawlf carefully look at her left cheek. 'Surely the slap's mark is still reddish.

"Who dared slapped you?"

"I can deal with it later." Veronica smiled at him, attempting to take his hands to pacify her.

"Who?"

Veronica sigh. 'Ugh this man.' "The dark-skinned one and the lady from the Tan."

"Hmm." Rawlf nodded his head and dialed a number in his phone. "I need a medic. Your lady boss was wounded." Rawlf said shortly and disconnected.

While waiting for the medic, Rawlf pried open on Veronica's maroon blouse to check her wound. Veronica just let him with it since she knew she couldn't stop him from doing so. She heard him inhaled and exhaled slowly, as if containing his fury.

Truthfully, it's true. After seeing the grazed on Veronica's shoulder, Rawlf already has the urged to torture those three men, including the lady from the Tan for actually being courageous enough to hurt his woman.

The kind of torture they would rather wished to die than continue living, however, feeling Veronica's hand held his fisted hands in her own, Rawlf calmed down.

"I know you're angry but I need to find something from them first."

Rawlf looked at her and seeing her serious, he nodded. "Hmm."

Sometime later, a female medic approached their car with another female who, Veronica noticed kept looking her way.

Veronica ignored the woman and rather let the medic treat the small wound from on her shoulder. Rawlf on the other hand was holding a magic cold compress on her left cheek. After bandaging her, the medic left some medicines for Veronica to take to heal the wound faster and avoid infection.

The other woman who was with the medic glanced at Veronica one more time before bowing on her and Rawlf and leave with the medic.

Veronica frowned. She could sense a little hostility coming from the said woman so she asked Rawlf. "Who was the woman with the medic."

"My subordinate." Rawlf replied, no reaction or any expression in his face. Veronica smiled.

Seeing her finally treated, Rawlf with his free left arm, carefully pulled Veronica in his embrace, gentle enough not to strain or touch her wound. His other hands still holding the cold compress on her cheek.

"I'll take the people. I still need to interrogate the lady from the Tan." Veronica started.

"You could do that in my headquarter." Rawlf replied resolutely. The plan to torture the people apparent in his voice.

"Rawlf."

"No."

"Rawlf."

Rawlf loosened his arms around the woman yet said in a gentle voice.

"Please, at least listen to me this time. Look, you were even injured. A bullet grazed and a slap, how could you let yourself get hurt?" Rawlf is obviously exasperated.

Seeing him like this, Veronica caressed his face and giggled. Honestly, she could avoid being hurt because she knew could easily disarmed and beat the men earlier, however, Veronica was careful not to do any action yet as she still wanted to study her situation and learned the matter of this action from the Tan young lady.

Who would have thought that the gentle and graceful young lady is actually a mentally unstable one. She heaved a sigh. "Okay, then. Since you're not imposing and is asking nicely, I'll give you that. Also, you could take that away from my face now." Veronica pointed at the cold compress.

Rawlf smirked and put the cold compress in her hand. He then move to raised her chin towards him and dived his lips on hers.

The couple shared a blissful kiss for quite a time inside the car before they separated to get on their way to Rawlf's headquarter.
