Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 284

Veronica was busy with the operations of her bridal company the next morning when her assistant, Shirley, knocked on the door and entered. "Veronica, there's someone looking for you."

As she was in the midst of her errands, Veronica raised her head. "Who?"

"Young Master Xavier," Shirley replied.

"Let him in."

Veronica couldn't understand Xavier at times. She had previously hurt him and his sister at the warehouse, which had maimed Melissa. As a result, Hendric had immense hatred for her, so why would he allow Xavier to look for her this time?

When she thought about the time at the hospital's stairwell and

Hendric's eventual assault on Xavier, she could not help but feel somewhat complicated.

"President Murphy, what are you busy with?"

While she was pondering on the reason behind Xavier's visit, Xavier had entered the office.

"What President Murphy? Are you trying to tease me?" Veronica laughed as she gestured at the couch. "Come, let me grab you a glass of water."

She rose to her feet and walked to the water dispenser where she made him a glass of tea. Then, she went over and sat across from him. "What brings you to Encounters today?"

Ever since Encounters Bridal Store was opened, Xavier had never paid her a visit here.

"I have a friend who is about to be married, so I have recommended her to visit your store. That being said, since we have such a close friendship, you need to give a discount," he slowly answered as he took the glass and sampled the tea.

Although he was asking her to give a discount, he was actually recommending clients to her store in reality.

As such, she was grateful. "That won't be a problem. It's not a big deal."

Veronica had a slight smile as she slowly lowered her head, after which her expression adopted a solemn mood. Then, she asked, "Um... About your sister... Is she much better now?" She had been forced to do what she did that day, but never once did she feel that she had owed Melissa anything. Melissa was a young girl who located someone to humiliate Tiffany at Tiffany's own wedding by broadcasting that gauche video—all because she liked Matthew.

As a result, Veronica couldn't help but feel that such a woman was cruel and vicious.

Xavier's hand that held the glass of tea paused for a second while there was a slight flicker of light in his eyes. "She’s gradually recovering, but the doctor mentioned that she won't be able to dance anymore in the future."

"It's such a pity," Veronica sighed with emotion.

At that, she realized that he was silent and knew that he did not want to elaborate further on this matter.

Then, she changed the topic. "Since you're already here, don't leave just yet. Why don't we have lunch together? At the same time, you can guide me with some pointers on managing a bridal store. How about that?"

"Since you have said it, I can't reject your request, can I?"

After that, Xavier walked to the desk and perused Veronica's operation plan while holding a discussion with her.

When the clock struck 12.00PM, the two of them left the office and headed straight for a Turkish restaurant. However, when they were about to make a move, Matthew arrived at the Encounters Bridal Store.

As he walked into the lobby, he noticed all of the employees were off on their lunch break except for the receptionist, who was still on duty.

When she saw him approaching her, she quickly walked toward him. "President Kings, what brings you here?"

Matthew was wearing a plaid trench coat that was complemented with a gray scarf around his neck, making him look slightly younger and even more handsome. His overall profile gave him an additional touch of attraction.

"Where's Roni?" he asked as he looked around.

"You mean, President Murphy? S-She just left with Young Master Xavier to most likely catch a bite," Shirley replied with full honesty and told Matthew the truth.
