The next day after Veronica woke up, the hotel attendant served her breakfast, and someone knocked on her door while she was eating.
"Who's that?" she asked.
The person outside immediately answered, "Miss Murphy, it's me, Thomas."
Thomas? She couldn't help but be amazed at his speed. So, she got up and opened the door to her suite.
"It's been a while, Miss Murphy." Thomas stood before her, smiled politely, and bowed deeply. "I apologize to you for my prudent behavior from before. I’m sorry for being so shallow!"
That time at Encounters Bridal Store, Matthew had asked Thomas to bring a drafted contract to Veronica to sign. As the 'share' column was empty, Veronica needed to fill it up. In the end, Thomas, who was seated across from her at that time, merely took a look and thought that she had assigned ninety-five percent of the shares for herself.
Because of that, Thomas had said many mean things to her and even complained a lot about her to
Matthew after he returned to Spinfluence Group.
As it turned out, Veronica was actually giving ninety-five percent of the shares to his boss.
It was like a slap on his face, and not only that, he was even assigned to Cory Island for training for quite some time.
Veronica scrutinized him carefully and felt that he seemed to have lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for quite a while. He definitely got tanner as he sported a buzz cut on his head which gave off the feeling that he was a hardworking man.
"Apology? It's fine.”
Of course, Veronica was a little upset about what happened that day, but after she learned that Matthew had sent him off to train at Cory Island, she knew he had received his fair share of punishment.
In addition, Thomas now had lost the fair skin he had when she first met him and so much weight. From that, she could tell he had been through many hardships.
Therefore, she opened the door as she welcomed him. "Come on in."
He nodded and stepped in. After he returned from Cory Island, Troy contacted him and filled him up on the recent events.
Hence, he knew that his boss cared a lot about Veronica, so he was also polite and respectful to her, not daring to offend her.
The hardships on Cory Island were something he didn't want to experience again.
"Miss Murphy, this key is for you," he said, handing a key to her.
Puzzled, she asked, "What's this?" "Boss bought the apartment next to yours after you moved in. He said that since your master is here now, you can just live next to him."
Thomas didn't even know about this, but from the small details, he could tell that Matthew really liked Veronica very much.
Thousands and thousands of beautiful girls resided in Bloomstead, and until now, Thomas couldn't understand what was so special about Veronica that could have his boss so in love with her.
After Veronica heard his words, she lowered her gaze to that key, feeling very touched as a warm affection bubbled in her heart.
It seems that Matthew has done so much for me in secret, she thought.
The whole time, she thought that he didn't know where she was living after she moved to a new neighborhood, but unexpectedly, not only did he know, he even bought the apartment next to hers.
She took the key from Thomas. "Please tell him thank you."
"Boss said that he doesn't want to hear you say thank you." From the beginning, Matthew could already guess what she would reply, so he had directly instructed Thomas and told him to pass the message. "Boss also said that you'll have to take care of yourself. If there's anything, you can just tell me to do it, and I'll put in my best efforts."
