"Trending topic?"
Never did Veronica imagine that news of her marriage to Matthew would become a trending topic despite them keeping such a low profile.
Buzz, buzz.
Suddenly, another incoming call appeared on her phone screen while she was in the midst of another call.
The caller's name was clearly displayed on the screen—Ruka.
Veronica's chest tightened, and she couldn't help but gulp in trepidation. "Uh, I-I'm very busy. I'm working on something now. I'll definitely call you back later."
After she hung up on Monica, she anxiously picked up the call from Young Mistress Ruka Dame.
It's true when they say you attract your fears, she thought.
Back then, she had seen for herself Ruka's feelings for Matthew, and her biggest fear was Ruka learning about her and Matthew.
However, the marriage certificate in her hands was still piping hot in her hands, and Ruka already knew about it.
She laughed sheepishly as she said, "Ruka, why did you call me to—"
"Veronica Murphy, you're married to Matthew?!"
While Veronica was laughing awkwardly and had yet to finish her sentence, Ruka had already cut her off with her yell. Sharp and ear-piercing, her voice was enough proof of how mad she was.
She leaned against the bed's headboard and shot Matthew a death stare as though saying it was all his fault.
The man merely smirked and shrugged helplessly.
She rolled her eyes at him in response and said humbly, "W-Well, this is a misunderstanding. Listen to me, Ruka…"
Listen? What was she going to say? Even she didn't know what she should say.
While she hesitated and tried to wrack her brains for something, anything, she slipped into an uncomfortable silence.
"Okay, I'll give you all the time you need. If this isn't enough, I'll look for you, and you can speak to me face-to-face."
