A few days later, Matthew made the necessary arrangements for Tony and his wife to relocate with the two kids while he and Veronica returned to work.
Veronica drove to Vincere Games. Since the reporters were unaware of her affiliation with the company, none of them camped at the entrance.
Taking the elevator from the underground parking lot, Veronica went upstairs.
When she appeared in the lobby of the esports company, the receptionist immediately ran over after seeing her. "You're finally back, President Murphy! I've missed you so much!"
The receptionist gave her a big hug.
Veronica smiled and replied, "Long time no see. You've gotten prettier!"
"Aw shucks, President Murphy! You're such a sweet talker." The receptionist smiled happily.
"Here, I bought some things for you guys. Distribute them among yourselves."
Veronica handed the large stack of boxes she was carrying to the receptionist, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you, President Murphy." The receptionist took the boxes and made a beeline for the office.
With that, Veronica proceeded toward the president's office, knocked on the door, and entered the room.
In the office, Shawn and a woman were entwined in an intimate embrace, exchanging tender words in hushed tones.
At the moment the door opened, the woman in Shawn's arms glared at Veronica and hissed, "Who are you?!"
Veronica's expression darkened slightly as she stared at Shawn with cold eyes.
In a panic, Shawn pushed the woman away when he met Veronica's icy gaze. "V-Veronica… You're back?"
