The conversation Veena had with Lois at the day of the accident bothered her mind. She agreed to a 'friends with benefits' thing in their marriage.
"There is nothing wrong with sleeping together. If ever one of us needs to release the tension in the body, then we have each other. It's easy as that, Veena."
Those were the words he told her. Knowing how busy she would be for the new company. She didn't hesitate to agree. Just intimate moments in bed with no feelings attached.
She is alone at home as Abby went to celebrate her sister's birthday. And Lois has tons of work to do along with his assistant, Felix. He was fussing around to increase the security in the house for her own safety.
She tapped on the pad of paper with her pen. The plans for her new company, Luxuria, is nearly done. Her mind blanked out forgetting what to write.
The sound of the door bell rang and she glanced at the clock. It's
Corinne gave Veena a house tour and introduced every family member of the Rossenovs. Olivia Rossenov was their mother and passed away because of heart attack. Their father married Kiera Austen, the step mother, and their half-brother, Fabian, was from a third mistress. Claude Gregory is their loyal butler and has always took care of the siblings throughout his life. "So, is Kiera the head of the family? She looks too young to be your step mom." Veena asked. "No. My grandfather accepted her into the family but it doesn't mean that she's the next head of the Rossenov family." "I apologize for prying but may I know why?" Corinne sighed and stopped by the picture frame of her grandfather. "Kiera Austen is my father's mistress." Claude cleared his throat. "Miss Corinne, Miss Veena, dinner is served." he announced. "Come, the whole family will be happy to meet you." Corinne grabbed her hand and pulled her to the dining hall.
When Veena went downstairs a scrumptious meal is already prepared on the table. Abby bowed slightly and helped her settled down on her seat."Boss has already left because of an emergency meeting. He wishes you to enjoy this delicious meal he prepared." Abby said."Please send him a message of thanks for me, Abby." Veena smiled.This is a new discovery from her husband. She tasted the food and sighed at the delicious burst of flavors. She never knew he could cook. His skills is far superior than the expensive restaurants she went to."A gift from the boss. He requests that you'll open it tonight and wear it for the party. He will meet you there. I will also join you as a guard me, boss and Felix will be keeping an eye on you." says Abby."You don't have to go through lengths just to protect me. I can handle myself well." Veena frowned. What's with the sudden protectiveness?"I'm sorry but this is boss' orders." Abby apologized.
Veena seated herself beside Lois and he placed his arm around her shoulders. He filled her glass with wine and they clinked their glasses together."I'm sure you didn't steal me away from the party just to have a drink with you." she began."Can't I see my wife privately?"She flushed. Why is he being so sweet these days? The breakfast this morning, this dress and now he wanted her alone in a private room."The contract for Luxuria is ready and the only thing I'll be needing is your signature. There is no need for the construction of the building everything is already done. The location is closer to my company so I can keep an eye on you if ever your family tries to do something against you."She took the contract and signed it without reading the details. She trusts Lois that's why she didn't bother to read it. "You don't have to be worried about me I can take care of myself. I have Abby to protect me.""No."

Veena was roughly pulled away from Lois' arms and Stephen pushed her behind him. What is he doing!? Is he even aware that this scandalous scene will taint the Sullivan family's image? "How dare you put your hands on her!" Stephen growled at Lois. Lois did not react and was calm throughout Stephen's screaming anger. This reaction provoked Stephen and made him furious, because of anger his hand on Veena tightened. Veena winced and tried to remove his hand on her arm. It hurts. Before Stephen could do anything Lois stepped forward and pushed him, falling to the floor. The pain from Veena's face made him act recklessly. He growled upon seeing the bruise on his wife's arm. He held her in a protective manner. "For a man with a noble family name. You do like to manhandle women and for losing your cool easily. I wonder how will the rest of the Sullivan family react. You are the future of the Sullivan's business and tainting yo
Veena waited patiently in the VIP room with Abby. The curtains are now opened and she can see the events going on below. Tonight's segment is Lois' speech. As the wealthiest man in Geneva everyone are curious about him since there is not that much information about his private life. The host even requested for Lois to make a speech because it is a rare occassion that he attends party gatherings.Someone gently knocked on the door and a handsome man came in."Greetings! My name is Spencer Finley and I'm here to accompany you to a different VIP room. My friend, Lois, wishes to give you a better view once he gives out tonight's speech." he introduced himself.Veena squinted her eyes. Still not believing this gentleman's words. "Why should I trust you?"Spencer laughed nervously. Veena's cold eyes turned him into a scared puppy. This is his first time meeting Veena Harrison and did not expect the fierceness she has shown.
Veena was satsified of the results Lois had shown of for Luxuria's new building. They've known each other for a few weeks and he already knows her tastes, likes and dislikes. He will do anything to make her happy, which she appreciated the most. "Thank you for this, Lois. All of this won't be possible without you." she hugged him. Lois smiled softly and returned her embrace, patting her head. "Anything for my wife." "I need to go and arrange everything. The team has already made a lot of designs these past few days and only few preparations left then we are ready for our first fashion show." Veena said excitedly. "Can't wait. I'll be expecting a lot." Luxuria only has few employees at the moment and most of them were those Ashley unfairly fired from their jobs. They were happy that their boss is back and will be helping her in taking down Fontana. "Good morning, boss! All preparations are set." Mishy, the team manager said. "Morning, Mishy. Tell everyone to take a break. I boug
They immediately took down Sherley's photos from the public and will do PR work soon. Veena was calm all throughout the day. Sherley has chosen the wrong enemy. Lois supported her as he too will be doing damage control. Luxuria is a subsidiary company under Rossenov after all. "Are you sure to remove Sherley's photos? If we do then those clothes won't be featured in the first show." Madam Trancy asked. Veena knew that Madam Trancy is right. If only there is a solution to it. Chelsy Moor, the assistant designer, felt the tension in the room. She has a suggestion but she's not sure if the boss would agree. "M-Miss Veena, I have a solution to the problem," Chelsy spoke up. Veena gestured the girl to continue. "You are a beautiful woman. Miss Veena. Honestly, Sherley's beauty is nothing compared to you. My designs was worn by Sherley and that dress was inspired from you. It is a dream to see you wear my designs. T-This is just my suggestion it's okay if you don't like it." Chelsy
