He used to hate her

We three worked until we got time for lunch. The last time I ate in a cantine is when I'm in school.

" Are you coming?" I asked Henry whose eyes are fixed on the computer. Since It's the first day, I don't have much work and neither do Sofia. I guess. I have to see how she's coping up with her first day next to Veronica.

I went to see Sofia but her place is empty. And Veronica's seat is empty too. Where did she go? She won't be careless at her first-day work. Finally, Henry and I went to eat in the canteen without Sofia.

" So, now it's lunchtime. Tell me about the days when Xander and Veronica are together," I asked Henry as we seated somewhere alone.

" Do you really want to know that? "

" I just want to know about Xander's life before the accident. Is it wrong?"

" Nope. His life wasn't that great. I already told you that Veronica makes problems with everyone and if she doesn't like anyone. She simply used Xander's power to get rid of that person,"

" Do you mean getting fired?"

" Exactly. She manipulates Xander into doing anything she wants. I don't want to judge anyone. But sometimes I doubt whether she loves him or loves his power. Maybe the answer could be both." Henry told the answer by himself.

" But there's one more thing. Xander has never been used to pick up Veronica to the office. They come here at a different time and goes together. They try not to talk to each other in the company. He doesn't like to show everyone that Veronica's her girlfriend in public."

" Oh, but Xander's not doing that to me. I came here with him and...he's a different person after the accident..."

" He's better than before," Henry said and someone tapped my shoulder.

far better if Veronica threw a cup of coffee on my suit in revenge. Instead, she refuses to help me in clarifying any doubt and stopping the other workers who are about to help me with this new job. She kept on talking something and made me think so low of myself. I feel like she drained all the confidence in me. I don't know how she's capable of doing it.
