Veronica Parker wondered, "How did you know?"
Josephine answered, "I heard it from Martin Hutt."
"Aren't you afraid of being fired for gossiping like this?" Veronica Parker didn't forget what happened to Martin Hutt because of that.
"With you, I'm not afraid."
Veronica Parker asked, "Why?"
"No one dares to gossip about you because they know that you are different from others, otherwise they will be the one to leave, like what happened to Martin Hutt. It's absolutely safe to gossip with you! "
Veronica Parker was speechless.
Since she was dismissed and reinstated, this was the first example from the KING Group.
Not to mention the stuff she used to talk about in the company.
Veronica Parker's cellphone rang. She smiled apologetically and went somewhere else to answer the phone.
"Hello, Isabella?"
"I already have children. I'll go back first."
"Look after the children for me."
"Yes."
Veronica Parker breathed a sigh of relief, Nick Cage did not notice that something was wrong with the child.
Peter was like him but it was not that obvious especially if he wouldn't look carefully.
She thought that the child she saw was Nick Cage's son, she didn't expect the child to be his younger brother. There was such a big difference. The mother was really a mistress. The Cage family was so complicated.
"Veronica Parker." Suddenly, she heard Kay Tours' voice from behind her.
Veronica Parker put away her phone and looked at Kay Tour behind her. "What can I do for you?"
"Go and clean up the office of Mr. Cage."
"Me?" Veronica Parker pointed at herself "I thought it was Josephine who was assigned to do this?"
"Go and do it."
Veronica Parker didn't understand. Why did he ask her to go?
She did not know that in Kay Tours' mind, he was thinking that the mood of Mr. Cage throughout the day would be better if she would be the one to clean the office.
Kay Tours had to be with Mr. Cage all the time so he needed Mr. Cage, calm him. It was a kind of purgatory.
Kay Tours took her to the office and opened the door. When she went in, Kay Tours closed the door and went outside to do his work.
Earlier, Veronica Parker wanted to say a few words but when she saw the mess inside the office, she was rendered speechless. Her mouth was opened wide in shock. She was stunned at the amount of garbage inside.
Lots of wastes were on the ground, there were a lot of waste papers also. The pillows on the sofa were thrown everywhere and the cotton wool inside was pulled out. The documents on the coffee table were painted like her steel wire ball, the sofa was black and the pen was black but you would still be able to see the lines reflected.
Veronica Parker's mind seemed to have been ransacked by the wind. Nick Cage's office was too much! No wonder they were thrown out!
Nick Cage looked at her gloomily in the black seat behind his desk.
Veronica Parker hurriedly picked up the pillows on the floor and threw the scattered papers at the trash can.
She was able to return some of the things to their proper place but on the others, she would not be able to do anything for it.
That would include the lines drawn on the sofa and the steel ball drawn on the file.
Veronica Parker nervously took a document to his desk. "I've finished sorting out the rest of the documents, Mr. Cage. I'll type a new one. As for the strokes on the sofa, I'll wipe them with a leather cleaner. It was the work of children who didn't know what was right from wrong, please don't be too angry."
Since the mess was made by her own children, she had no choice but to humble herself in front of Mr. Cage.
"You don't think I should be angry?" Nick Cage asked, with a low, magnetic voice that would make people's nerves tense for a moment.
"Oh, no, have I done anything yet? If there is, you bring it up and I am sure that I will make you satisfied." Veronica Parker said.
Nick Cage stared at her with deep, dark eyes. "Give me your mouth."
"What?" It took Veronica Parker half a beat to realize what he meant and she froze.
She can't believe what he was asking. Maybe she heard his words wrong.
"Come on."
Veronica Parker's fingers holding the document trembled slightly with force and her pink fingertips turned white.
She angrily threw the file directly at Nick Cage, "Don't mention the past!"
The document fell on Nick Cage, then floated down and fell on the ground afterward.
Veronica Parker was very angry. She was experiencing shortness of breath because of her hatred towards him. This man really liked to deceive others.
However, in the stillness of the air, she saw Nick Cage's fierce black eyes and Veronica Parker took a subconscious step back in horror.
She actually threw something at the head of KING Group. Did she want to lose her job? For her, it's okay. She really wanted to get out of here.
"Fire me, what else can I do? Are you going to fire me again?" Veronica Parker asked boldly.
"That's not going to happen. At best, you can't live in Illinois." Nick Cage's voice was light but with an irresistible ruthlessness. It made Veronica Parker's face change.
Can't live in Illinois? She's all right but she had children to support! No, absolutely not!
Veronica Parker immediately smiled but her smile was a little stiff, "This is just a misunderstanding. I have a slippery hand. Mr. Cage, please don't be mad at me! I'll pick it up now!"
Veronica Parker walked over and saw the papers that were scattered near Nick Cage's feet.
If she wanted to pick it up, she must crawl at his feet in a humiliating gesture!
She would do it for the sake of her children.
Veronica Parker took a deep breath, squatted down, and picked up the paper on the ground.
She picked up the next one and held her breath to pick up the paper that was very near his feet. His long legs were very close to her face and his black Oxford shoes looked nobly scrupulous.
Just as Veronica Parker was able to finally pick up the last piece of paper, Mr. Cage held her neck.
"Ah!" The paper in Veronica Parker's hand slipped to the ground again. The back of her neck was held by Mr. Cage and his hand was pressing her face against Nick Cage's thigh. She felt his strong muscles, it was hard and uncomfortable. "Mr. Cage, let me go! "
Veronica Parker resisted with all her might. However, as she was sitting on the ground, she was easily subdued and she was not able to move at all!
His strength was frightening!
There was a risk that if he would squeeze harder, her neck would be broken.
This guy didn't really want her here. How about that?
"Mr. Cage, you can't do this to me. I'm your employee. They all say you won't do anything to your own employee. Is that right?" Veronica Parker's little face was flushed, as she nervously begged for mercy.
"Not necessarily."
"Three years ago, you slept casually with a man but now you are trying to pretend that you are pure? Huh?" Nick Cage squeezed her neck, the skin of her neck was as delicate as fine satin.
"It's not casual because I was heartbroken! I drank too much, and then--- " Veronica Parker was very depressed when she thought of what happened at that time that she was not able to continue her words.
She thought the absurdity of that night would be over. Who knew that she would meet Nick Cage again? Not to mention that he was her immediate boss!
