Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 475

"Yeah.” Veronica nodded.

"Yeah? That's it? What is going on with you guys? I heard from Sean that you offended Matthew, and he's now trying to force you to admit to your mistakes. This is why Sean asked me to persuade you to give in just this once, for the sake of your career."

It wasn't easy for the company to find a good candidate, especially one as good as Veronica.

Sean felt like he hit it off well with Veronica, and there was no doubt in her capabilities regarding her work.

It wasn't a good idea to terminate a contract just because Veronica offended Matthew.

"It's nothing. I offended the person that Matthew likes, and so he forced me to apologize. Unfortunately, I couldn't do it, so this happened,” she said in a light-hearted manner.

She lost a job, and it would be difficult for her to find employment in Bloomstead. Yet, how she casually explained her current dire situation made it seem like she was merely talking about the weather.

"The person he liked? Who is it?"

As Ruka once loved him, Veronica's words aroused her gossipy nature.

"Sasha. Don't you know?"

"Sasha? Who is she?"

"Sasha Claude."

"I know her name is Sasha, but I've never heard of this person before."

The conversation between them didn't make sense.

"Uh... Do you know Manuel Franklin?" Veronica didn’t try to hide anything from Ruka. After all, Matthew gave Veronica a hard time today, so it was only natural for her to hold a grudge against him.

"Oh, yeah I know."

"You know Manuel Franklin, but you don't know Sasha Claude?"

"What do they have to do with each other?"

"Are you dumb? Do you still not understand? Manuel went through a sex reassignment surgery and became Sasha. D*mn it! She came to my place to insult me today, so I slapped her. Matthew saw all of it, yet he demanded I apologize, or else he would make me lose my job in

Bloomstead!"

She started getting more agitated the more she talked about the incident, and finally, she couldn’t hold herself back as she let it all out.

She was truly highly irate about the matter.

It wouldn't have mattered if whatever happened in the cave at Quran Mountain hadn't happened a few days ago. Because of that passionate day, she thought she still had a place in his heart, but she ended up receiving his brutal treatment, which was a harsh wake-up call as his actions disappointed her utterly.

"Hold up. Let me try to process this. This is way too much information."

Ruka analyzed the words that Veronica had just said, and then it dawned on her. "Right. I think I heard someone say that Manuel had a sex change operation before, but I didn't know she was called Sasha now.

Damn, Matthew's tastes can be really-interesting, to say the least."

She thought of the previous encounter in the mall when Matthew kissed Veronica, who was dressed as a man. Nonetheless, Ruka still found herself wholly repulsed when she recalled the incident.

At that time, she couldn't believe it.

Now, when she heard Veronica venting her frustrations, everything suddenly seemed to make sense.

Veronica was silent for a while as her head drooped in discouragement.

"Hey, so what's your plan? Do you want to work for me?" Ruka felt a little sorry for her.

A few months ago, Veronica and Matthew were so loving, and it was as though they couldn't get enough of each other. Suffice to say, it made Ruka insanely jealous.

Nevertheless, when she saw that Veronica was abandoned by Matthew as well, she couldn't help but sympathize with her.

"There's no need. Matthew let it be known that anyone who dares to hire me will be working against the Kings Corporation." Veronica didn't want to make things difficult for anyone.

"It's okay. I don't believe he can go against me."

"You can protect me for now, but can you protect me forever?" Veronica inquired sharply.

Ruka was rendered speechless momentarily because that was a good question. It was one that she, herself, didn't know how to answer.
