A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 15
In the car, Veronica dialed Ethan's line many times but his phone was unreachable."This is pointless." She asked her driver to take her to Ethan's company.The receptionist recognized her easily. She greeted her warmly and informed her that the CEO was not in the company. He was attending the construction bid in the City Hall.The City Construction Bureau was holding a construction bid for an important project. Reynolds Builders was one of the many companies participating in the bid.Veronica did not own a construction company, thus she was not involved in the bid."When will he be back?" She had a lot of questions for him and she could not wait."I really don't know, ma'am. The bidding will take a long time so I cannot say," the young female answered in a polite tone.She was just a trivial receptionist and did not know Ethan's schedule. There was nothing she could do for Veronica.He sent the Serpentine Dragon's Eye early in the morning and suddenly, his phone was switched off. Eth

Evie was unfortunate and had to suffer the consequences all alone as she was the executive assistant.Some work from the office was not completed on time. Veronica was stressed and had to take it home with her. Her assistant followed her.They needed a serene environment to finish the important work, most of which included reviewing the proposals from the Research and Development department. "No one must interrupt while we are working," she instructed the workers at the mansion sternly. They nodded and dispersed.So much needed to be done. They were immersed in work when a loud voice disrupted the silence."Urgh, what's that?" Veronica stood up. It was very loud and sounded like someone yelling. Besides, it was a continuous noise that irritated her."I think it's coming from outside,"

The time was nine thirty am. Never in her whole life had she had to wait so long for anyone."Urgh! Does he think he's some king who gets to arrive whenever he pleases?" Veronica's tantrums were eating her up. Her day was already ruined because of that Ethan Reynolds.Her schedule was very tight. She had two meetings after this one and a contract signing ceremony with an entertainment company by twelve o'clock pm. There was no time to waste on her side."I bet he was out partying last night. That jerk is a playboy, men like him never do anything right with their evenings!" That conviction was held firmly in her head. Ethan Reynolds was a shameless man, his association with women couldn't be less.The two assistants who followed her could only bow their heads and remain silent. No one dared to speak while she was throwing a tantrum."I am very busy today. I have many meetings to attend yet he uses time like it's some abundant resource. Hah! Ten more minutes and we're leaving-""Leaving
A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 18
Girlfriend? What the hell was he talking about? Veronica snapped her head up instantly but Ethan's narrowed eyes were focused on Greg.She was not the only one baffled.

It was closing time. After making sure everything they needed for tomorrow's meeting with the mayor was set, Evie came into the office to get Veronica."Ma'am?" To her surprise, her boss was by the window eating chocolate bars.Veronica hardly ate candy and Evie was certain she brought none to the office unless…'They came from that box!' The second box was on the desk. It was open and she saw the dark chocolates inside.'She gave away the wine but kept the candy…' Perplexed, she stared at the box, then the woman at the window.The boss did not think twice about giving away an expensive wine gifted to her but she settled for candy when she was not a fan of sweets?'Is she finally developing a crush on someone?' The assistant's thoughts trailed on when Veronica suddenly interrupted her train of thoughts.Before, she had a solemn demeanor but it was suddenly replaced by her usual bossy temperament."Evie, stop blanking out like that. You're not my assistant to stare into the air and day
A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 20
Other than the consistent ringing of the phone, the atmosphere in the car was very silent.The caller was quite patient. He had been calling for the past ten minutes. It did not seem he would stop now. Evie was concerned and felt pity for him. "Ma'am, shouldn't you pick that up? It could be important."Flipping a page of the magazine in her hand, Veronica looked indifferent. "It's not important." When he got tired, he'd stop calling.Concentrating on the glitzy photos of models was impossible. The memory of Rhian Stanton holding him and planting kisses all over his face constantly played in her head.Irritation built up in her chest for some inexplicable reason. Even if she didn't care what he did with other women, she could not help the distressing feeling in her chest.'Get out of my fucking headspace!' At the moment, the only thing she wanted to do was rip her hair off her head and scream out.The last ring died out. Ethan did not call again. She cast a side glance at the phone and

The car swerved a few times before balancing back on the right lane. A few drivers cursed out at the reckless driver.Veronica's hands shook on the driving wheel. Hearing the loud banging sounds of her fast palpitating heart in her ears while keeping her focus on the road was almost impossible.Driving above speed limits on a busy highway at night after having a few drinks was never a good idea. Add to that, the blazing anger burning inside her.Even though she was already driving at a speed that would be considered an offense against traffic laws, her foot stepped harder on the accelerator.Suddenly, headlights flickered in front of her. Immediately, she swerved to the side and stomped the brakes, bringing the car to an abrupt halt. The truck narrowly missed her.The headlines tomorrow would have reported her death in a ghastly accident because the large vehicle would have crushed her Cadillac Escalade under its gigantic tyres.Narrowly escaping death brought her senses back to her.

Reynolds Enterprises.Colton barged into the conference room. He was very anxious, moving at a fast pace. The people in the room looked up at once. They were displeased by his sudden entrance."Mr. Gallagher," Ethan frowned. This was a private meeting and he issued a stern warning about interruptions. He did not expect his assistant to break the rules first.Realizing his mistake, the assistant bowed respectfully and apologized. However, he had important information for the boss. It was urgent and needed immediate attention. "Sir, I'm sorry but you need to see this."Colton was an efficient assistant, he knew how important this project meeting was to their company. Ethan figured the matter had to be pressing."Forgive me, gentlemen but I have to attend to this," he rose up and bowed respectfully.The business associates did not mind and excused him.Straight after heading out of the door, he demanded, "What is it?"Colton did not speak but rather handed the phone over to him.
