Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 484

She had to adapt to survive when coexisting with jackals. "Thank you, Mr. Lynch," Veronica said politely with a nod.

From the drawer, Miguel took out a name card. "Go for an interview at the 4S store at Pines Street. Contact this person, and he will make sure that you get the job successfully.”

When she received the black name card from him, she saw the words 'Sales Manager, Patrick Simon' and his phone number embossed in gold.

"I'm going over right now."

After she sincerely expressed her gratitude to Miguel, she left Luminesce Enterprise with the name card. Still, unexpectedly, she bumped into Matthew standing in the car park when she walked out of the building.

The man casually stood next to his car; a cursory glance from her made her notice that he already had a bunch of cigarette butts around his feet. From that, she could infer that he was purposely waiting for her.

However, she merely glanced at him once and went straight to her own car, but he strode to her and stopped in front of her, blocking her path. After he forcefully blocked her way, he didn't say anything and simply fixed his eyes on her with a deep look.

"May I help you?" she asked.

"Actually, you're not desperate. As long as you apologize to Sasha, I'll let you return to work at Starshine."

Although Matthew knew that Veronica had a stubborn personality, he didn't expect her to be this obstinate. In order to make a living in this society, it was essential to be flexible, and being stubborn was not a good trait to have in the workforce.

Veronica ran her fingers through her fringe, raised her perfectly arched eyebrows, and mocked, "Apologize? Hmph, you can forget about it."

If this happened when she first got to know Matthew, she wouldn't hesitate to bow down and apologize. After all, dignity and all were worth nothing to her, but the situation was different now.

First of all, she assumed that Sasha was the one who acted out first, and she wasn’t at fault at all. Secondly, she was capable enough to support herself, so why should she succumb to his threats?

There was no way that would ever happen. No way, no how.

Veronica Murphy, you're really... too stubborn." Matthew stuffed his hands into his pockets as a malicious smile spread across his face. "Do you think that I'll let you get the job so easily just because Miguel gave you the job?"

"Whatever. You can do anything you like if you think that it doesn't affect your life and work by wasting your time on an ant like me." Finally, she inhaled deeply and lifted her chin proudly before continuing, "But if you want me to apologize..." She pursed her lips and mustered her courage, saying, "That's impossible."

"If that's what you want, then we shall see just how long you can hold out." Every word falling from his lips was akin to repeatedly stabbing himself in the heart, but he had no other choice.

Since he had decided on this path, he had to carry on no matter how difficult it was. Thus, after he delivered his threat, he spun around and left.

Yet, before he left the basement, he also reminded her. "Remember, apologize to Sasha when you can't take it anymore, and I promise I'll let you live your life peacefully."

By the time he finished speaking, he had already entered his car and closed the car door, leaving Veronica rooted to the spot as she listened to him start the engine and depart.

Her hands hanging by her sides tightened slightly, and she breathed in deeply. "I said that I won't apologize. Never!"

She was speaking to herself, but she raised her head to look at the skies with a tenacity and resoluteness she never had before.

Afterward, she hopped into her own car and went to the 4S car gallery at Pines Street.

At the store entrance, she gave a call to the man whose name was printed on the name card. "Hello, are you Mr. Simon? I'm Veronica Murphy, and I would like to apply for the position of car sales consultant in your store."
