Xavier was now waiting for her at the company‘s entrance. Seeing her coming over in a light gray

sportswear, he immediately went up to her and said, “Roni, I‘m sorry I couldn‘t help.”

Feeling a bit guilty, he felt that what he did wasn‘t appropriate.

Although he really wanted to accompany Veronica to Almeida, he had something to

wasn‘t a bad idea to send her there alone so that he could get to know her all over again.

Xavier believed that after two weeks of mingling with her, Hendric would definitely accept her.

After all, he had previously ridiculed Veronica about her ugly looks, but now that her true identity was

revealed and she had the same gorgeous face as Tiffany, it would definitely work to her favor. =

“It‘s fine. I‘m now one of your staff members, so it‘s my duty to serve the company.” Veronica raised her

brow and smiled, looking relaxed.

Standing in front of her, Xavier gave her a huge embrace.

While holding her tightly in his arms, he whispered, “I‘ll wait for you to return. When you come back, I‘ll

give you a big surprise.”

“What is the surprise?” She pushed him away while her eyes brightened. “Are you going to give me my

bonus?”

The moment she heard the word ‘surprise, all she had in mind was money, which was why she looked so

excited.

Looking at her expression, Xavier didn‘t know whether to laugh or cry. “Yes, you‘re so smart.”

If I‘m going to propose to her, I must prepare a huge gift that she will definitely like.

“You should have told me earlier. I would have been gone by now. Haha…” Veronica said cheerfully.

“The mountain roads there are bumpy. Be careful.” He reminded her while pointing al a minivan next to

them, “Everything that we have prepared for the children in Almeida is all loaded in that van. They will

drive the vehicle to the place. As for you, I‘ve prepared a plane ticket for you to fly over there. After you

have alighted from the plane, there will be someone to pick you up.”

Since Almeida was located far away from Bloomstead, they could only take the plane to the nearest

destination before traveling to Almeida by car.

“Alright. I understand.” Veronica nodded.

“When you arrive at Almeida, there won‘t be any roads for the car to drive through, so you will have to

walk up the mountain by foot. It‘ll be arduous, so you must take care of yourself.”

Xavier didn‘t forget to repeatedly remind her.

“Alright. I understand. I‘ll be fine. Trust me.” She raised her brow again and smiled.

Then, Xavier and Veronica took a picture together with the other colleagues who were also assigned to

Almeida.

After the picture, the van drove the other colleagues off while Xavier drove her to the airport.

“Safe travels.” He gave Veronica a hug. “If anything happens, you must remember to contact me

immediately.”

He looked at her with an obvious hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Veronica combed her hair with her fingers and smiled. “I‘m only leaving for two weeks. Why do you have

to make such a big deal out of it? Alright, I‘m leaving. Goodbye.”

While dragging her luggage, she turned around to leave before waving her hand at him without looking

back.

After having her ticket checked in the boarding area, she boarded the plane and found her seat to take a

seat.

Since her seat was next to a window, she was able to see the beautiful scenery outside.

A few hours later, the plane arrived at Lothen.

is soon as Veronica got off the plane, she met the person who was assigned to pick her up. She entered

the waiting car and it drove all the way to the bottom of Almeida‘s mountain before she alighted from it.

The driver said to her, “We can‘t drive any further from here. We still need to walk for about 4 to 5 hours

to reach Almeida. We should be able to arrive there before dark.”

“Alright. Let‘s hurry up and get going. It‘s getting late.”

Veronica carried her luggage and followed the driver up the mountain.

The driver‘s name was Quincy Neelson, who was an extremely enthusiastic dark–‘. skinned and slightly

chubby boy.

The two of them were talking and laughing as they made their way up the mountain.

However, after walking for an hour, rain began to pour from the sky. It came so quickly and suddenly that

it caught both Veronica and Quincy off guard.

“What kind of weather is this?”

She took out an umbrella from her luggage while he had an umbrella of his own. While carrying their

stuff, the two of them stepped on the muddy mountain road and stumbled forward.

The rain was extremely heavy and when the bean–size raindrops fell on their umbrellas, it made a

crackling sound. At the same time, a layer of mist had risen from the mountainside, making the place

look cloudy and exquisitely charming.

“Ahhh!”

When Veronica lifted her head to look at the beautiful scenery on the mountain, she slipped and almost

fell to the ground. Luckily, someone had suddenly reached out to grab her collar to prevent any

tragedies.

“Thank you, Quincy. What a scare. Sigh..”

She used the luggage to stand on her feet, but then, Quincy responded, “It wasn‘t me. It‘s him.”

He pointed at the man behind Veronica.

Therefore, she instinctively looked back. When she had a clear view of the man

standing behind her, her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, “Matthew! Why are you here?”

She was surprised and excited to meet him in such a deserted place.

The man was wearing a black sportswear with sports shoes of the same color while holding a gray–

striped umbrella. His face was bland while standing in front of her.

Seeing the bright smile on her face, he couldn‘t help but give a slight smile with his lips.

“Are you surprised?” Matthew asked flatly.

“You should have told me earlier that you are coming so that I don‘t have to carry my luggage. Here you

go, bro. Help me to carry my luggage. It‘s too heavy.”

Whenever she was in need, she would always call him ‘bro‘ instead of his name.

Veronica then handed her luggage over to Matthew. “Bro, please help me carry it. It‘s really heavy.”

The road up the mountain was muddy especially in this kind of rainy weather and the slippery ground

made it difficult for anyone to carry anything.

Therefore, Matthew gestured to the two men accompanying him with his eyes before one of them

immediately went up to help her carry her luggage.

“Whew, it‘s so comfortable not having to carry the luggage.”

Veronica shook her hand as her mood had suddenly improved.

Then, she tugged on Matthew‘s arm and said to Quincy, “Quincy, let me introduce him to you. He is

Matthew Kings.”

A nervous Quincy smiled. “Hello, bro.”

“Hey, why are you calling him bro? You can just call him Matthew.” She waved her hand with a look of

total disgust.

He scratched his head and answered, “Since he is your brother, I feel that I should call him ‘bro‘ too.”

“We don‘t even share the same last name and are not related to each other at all. Come on, let‘s go.”

Peronica ungratefully paited Quincy‘s shoulder before walking forward.

tighuly after being ignored. Damn this woman. She is so ungrateful.

Although it was early autumn, the weather was still hot, so the rain came and went quickly.

Not long after, the rain stopped.

Veronica went up the mountain and stood on the mountainside. Looking down, she could not help but

feel emotional “This view is so beautiful. Matthew, what do you

–”

She was talking to Matthew, but when she turned to look, she realized that her luggage was missing from

the hands of the two men following them.
