Chapter 485 I Won’t Fall For You

“Ho-ho! Here, fill out the job application first. Even though Miss Lambert introduced you here, you’ll still have to pass the assessment period.” Patrick chortled again with a crafty gleam in his eyes. “Our store sells high-end cars, and every sales consultant has shocking sales skills. In sales, everyone relies on true abilities to make a living. Just having a pretty face isn’t enough.”

That last phrase was a deliberate jab at Veronica, but she didn’t mind and nodded her head obediently. “I understand what you mean, Mr. Simon. Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you.” Patrick raised his brows and looked at her with a bit of contempt and greed. “First, let me tell you about the salary and benefits…”

After he briefly explained the salary and benefits to her, she nodded, saying that she would show up for work, as usual, tomorrow, and left the store. When she noticed that it was still relatively early, she called Yvonne and went to visit her at her place.

When she reached Yvonne’s apartment, she was practicing yoga, and Veronica chatted casually with her while seated on the couch. Then, she couldn’t help but point out, “Tell me honestly, what exactly happened to you that made you so happy? You seem to be in high spirits today.”

As Yvonne had rekindled her relationship with Conrad, and he didn’t allow her to tell Veronica the truth so that it wouldn’t start an unnecessary misunderstanding, Yvonne didn’t dare to say a word to Veronica.

Furthermore, Matthew and Veronica’s relationship recently had turned sour, and he even cut off all her employment opportunities, completely ignoring their relationship as siblings. From this, it showed that Matthew was a ruthless person.

Yvonne knew that Conrad was unwell. Thus, she was worried that Matthew would use some underhand means to deal with Conrad. That was the main driving force that motivated her to hide the truth, especially since Matthew had suddenly kindly offered to take care of her child.

As she looked back at things now, she thought that his sudden enthusiasm that appeared out of thin air must be hiding some sort of evil intentions; Matthew must have taken her baby away to blackmail Conrad!

“Nothing. It’s just…” She faced Veronica with her back as she stretched her calves. “I feel more at ease now that the baby is not with me, and I’m not in danger anymore.”

“That’s true,” Veronica muttered, taking her words at face value.

Both of them chatted for a bit more until Veronica received a call. She stared at the unknown number and hesitated for a few seconds before pushing the green button. “Hello, who’s this?”
