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 174. Could Not Wait to Leave

    Noreen POV“Greg!” I tried to shush him.It was obvious that Greg wanted to engage in an argument with Lucas Sanders. But in his current state, I do not think that is a good idea. If Lucas Sanders becomes aggressive, Greg's drunken state is no match for him. Lucas Sanders' eyes flashed with fire. He was trying to contain his anger, waiting for one wrong move from Greg. I pulled Greg to my side, but he shoved my hand away, refusing to listen to my advice. I saw the anger in his eyes but thought that his rage could not sustain him. He can not win a match with Lucas Sanders if ever they turned to physical. Can't he see? Lucas Sanders had previously beaten him. He can not even hold himself erect. How can he even stand his ground when Lucas' fists meet his face?Greg was in no condition for a fistfight. He would only end up the underdog and I can't let the other man kick him to the curb. My eyes darted on Katherine Fielding, realizing that she was the cause of this ruckus. My h

    Katherine POV“Mommy, I used up all my coloring books,” Erin reported while we were at the dining table sharing breakfast.I looked up from cutting her pancake into bite-size pieces and promised that when I had time, I would drop by the bookstore to buy her stuff.Erin clapped her hands to show her excitement at the promise of new books.What can I say?My daughter loves to color. She also loves reading just like me.“What else do you need?” I asked when I pushed her plate toward her so she could begin eating.

  • 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 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
