Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 172. Remain A Good Friend
Lucas POVAfter an hour, Oliver called me. “What?” I snapped because I was in the middle of reading a crucial report, but I didn’t seem to kick my friend when he was feeling lousy. He was frustrated earlier and needed a friend. “You wouldn’t believe what happened.” I detected excitement in Oliver’s voice - a far cry from his temperament earlier.I dropped the folder to my desk and leaned back casually on my chair. “Let me guess. Mia got the hint. She left you alone.” Oliver chuckled. “It’s better than that. Though you were right. Mia backed off. I don’t think she would pester me anymore.” He reported. I grinned. “Good for you. Goodbye, girl problems.” I teased. “Now, you only have to keep pursuing Veronica,” I advised. The line sizzled with Oliver’s excitement that it brought a frown to my face. It did not add up to the frustrated and unhappy man who had left my office earlier. “Yes. And guess what? We are going out on a date tonight.” I could feel his happiness even t
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 171. Irreparable Shift
Oliver POV“Veronica!” I called out her name, but she did not stop to acknowledge my call. In my panic, I ran out of my office so I could chase her. For a small woman, Veronica was very quick on her feet. She was already on the verge of stepping inside an open elevator when I caught up to her. “Hey! Hey! Hey! Not so fast!” I cried and grabbed her hand when she was about to step inside the open elevator without looking at me. Veronica shrugged her arms in disdain. She wanted me to release her. It was obvious she did not want me to hold her up, but I was not willing to let go of her arm. In the end, we both stepped inside the elevator. We did not talk until the door closed before us. “You have a visitor. You should attend to her.” There was so much bitterness to her voice. I smiled because, for the first time since she had gone missing, Veronica was showing signs of jealousy. I guess this is the perfect time for us to talk. I pushed the button from the control panel that would
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 170. Walked Away
Oliver POVAfter I left Lucas’ office, I decided to call my favorite florist to check whether the bouquet I ordered for Veronica had arrived. She stopped accepting the bouquets I sent to her apartment, so I decided to have them sent to the office instead. While talking to the florist, I decided to wait for the elevator to arrive on Lucas’ floor. When it opened, I was surprised to see Mia. I ended the call and stepped back involuntarily when I saw her.You could imagine my shock upon seeing her inside the elevator. Who would have thought that she would catch up to me here?I cursed my luck. If only the floor would open and swallow me, I would have been a willing victim. Too bad Mia already saw me. She appeared surprised to see me, too. Her eyes widened, but there was a smile to her eyes which she tried to cover up though it was still discernible with the way her lips twitched.I know that she was trying to tone down her reaction to maintain her image. Unfortunately, I had known
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 169. Clear Things Up
Oliver POVI wanted to shout at her to get some sense into her head, but I can’t seem to penetrate Veronica now. She looked so far away. I don’t know what happened overnight that she was able to build her guards up - the same guards that I labored to tear down one by one in the past days. “Can grief really make a person stone-hearted?” I asked Lucas when I came to his office the next day. Veronica and I did not settle anything because right after telling me about that man, she requested me to leave. I didn’t want to, but I felt that her reaction was part of her grieving process, so I maintained my distance. I left her house and met the man she got home with, who I later learned was Alfred Mitchell. We shook hands, but right after that, I went back to my apartment, banging the door shut in my frustration. I figured I needed to give Veronica time, so I made myself busy until I found myself slumped on my sofa. I did not realize I had slept, but the kink on my neck was a clear ind
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 168. Tenacious Pride
Veronica POVI winced as the excitement slowly faded from Oliver’s eyes when he saw me with Red.He looked at us in his usual deep, penetrating gaze. Longing filled me.Until he pierced it with a cutting tone, full of distaste. “Where have you been?”The sharpness of his tone and the accusatory way he greeted me made my temper boil. Oliver’s eyes never veered away from Red’s figure standing beside me. Then, he shifted his eyes, and our gazes locked. I could see jealousy written all over his face. Still, I shoved it aside thinking it was just a figment of my hyperactive imagination. Jealousy is for someone who feels something for you. And based on what I had seen last night, Oliver does not feel anything for me. Maybe he did for a while. Perhaps he thought that since the love of his life, I could be her substitute, but last night ended all that. She was back. The thought magnified the pain I was feeling when I shot back. “That is none of your business,” I told him in an equa
Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect? Chapter 167. Jealousy
Oliver POV“Sir? Mr. Manns?” In my slumber, I heard someone calling and nudging me awake. Blearily, I forced my eyes open and looked at that someone, feeling disoriented. When recognition set in, I realized he was the house security. Disappointment washed over that very instant when everything came into focus and realized where I was. “What?” I asked tiredly. I did not know how long I stayed slumped on the floor with my back against Veronica’s door. I don't care either. “You will get a kink in your neck, sir. Are you drunk?” The security looked quizzically at me, forcing me to stand up to look around me. Except for the two of us, the hallway is deserted. Then, I checked my wristwatch and grimaced when I noticed the time. “Has Ms. Miller arrived?” I asked, my voice sounded hoarse to my ears. The security shook his head. I sighed and sat down again, occupying the same position I had from earlier. It felt as if my strength had left me. Veronica is still out somewhere and
