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.
