Chapter 708 Here Comes Veronica (71)
Hearing Veronica's reply, Raymond was finally relieved.
"You finally admitted it. Since you have admitted it, then from tonight on, you are my girlfriend. In order to celebrate that, let's kiss."
Raymond lowered his head and was about to kiss Veronica on the lips.
Veronica quickly turned her face away to dodge Raymond's kiss. She hurriedly yelled, "Wait, I have a condition!"
Raymond frowned.
"Condition? What condition?"
Veronica said through gritted teeth, "I'll be your girlfriend, but we must keep this thing a secret for the time being. That is, for the time being, we have to keep this relationship a secret."
Raymond was expecting something big.
Hearing this, Raymond smiled, "No problem."
Veronica went back to her room in a daze. After she returned to her room, Veronica still felt fuzzy. The moment she closed the door, she finally realized something.
She and Raymond were in a relationship now. She had actually become Raymond's girlfriend.
Veronica put her palm on her chest, and her heart was beating rapidly inside. She slowly slid down the door to the ground.
The fact that she had become Raymond's girlfriend still felt unreal to Veronica. After all, she and Raymond were from two different worlds.
If she was still the old Veronica, perhaps she would not feel so inferior. But now, she didn't even know who she was. Veronica only knew she was an orphan that got adopted and abandoned by her foster mother.
She was undeserving of Raymond.
But because Raymond wouldn't leave her alone, she agreed to be his girlfriend.
Veronica wanted to keep this relationship a secret because then they could just break up when Raymond regretted it someday.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
It was said that rich people were fickle in love. Even if this relationship with Raymond wouldn't last long, Veronica wanted it. And in fact, this condition could also make things easier for her too.
Early the next morning, Veronica woke up with dark circles.
Veronica didn't sleep well the whole night. But because of the biological clock, she woke up early and began to clean the house.
After Veronica finished cleaning, she was about to leave the second floor and go to the first floor.
Veronica had to walk past Raymond's room to get to the first floor.
When she walked past his room, Veronica couldn't help but glance at the door.
Veronica didn't know if it was a coincidence, but the door suddenly opened from the inside at the same time.
When the door was opened, Raymond's tall figure appeared.
When she saw Raymond, Veronica was stunned.
When Raymond saw Veronica, who happened to be outside the door, he was stunned too.
But Raymond soon came back to his senses. Before Veronica regained her senses, Raymond grabbed her arm and pressed her against the wall. And he put his arms on either side of Veronica. Veronica exclaimed. In the next second, Raymond kissed her.
Veronica pushed Raymond away in embarrassment.
"You... What are you doing?"
Raymond smiled at the shy Veronica. "What's wrong with me kissing my girlfriend?"
Veronica was lost for words.
Veronica looked at Raymond's handsome smiling face and was dazzled.
Girlfriend!
Last night, Veronica spent the whole night wondering if Raymond was joking with her. However, just now right after they met, Raymond used this way to tell her it was not a joke and that they were really boyfriend and girlfriend now.
Seeing that Veronica was dumbstruck by his words, Raymond knew what she was thinking. He took Veronica in his arms and kissed her on the lips again. However, this time, it was only a peck. Their lips only met for a fraction of a second, but Veronica felt she could still feel the heat of Raymond's breath.
"Veronica, you don't have to doubt it. We are indeed boyfriend and girlfriend now."
Veronica blushed even more.
"You..."
"Why? Do you want to go back on your word?"
"Of course not." Veronica bit her lip and lowered her head.
Raymond rubbed her head and said, "Alright, hurry up and get changed. Let's have breakfast together. Then I'll send you to school."
Veronica nodded. "Okay!"
With that, Veronica quickly left and ran downstairs.
Raymond, standing behind Veronica, warned Veronica loudly, "Veronica, don't run so fast. No one is chasing you. You might fall. If you fall, my heart will ache." Veronica was speechless.
Raymond was so loud. Marie and the others must have all heard him.
Just as she was thinking this, Veronica bumped into Marie. And Marie looked at her with a knowing smile.
Marie's smile made Veronica blush further.
Marie must have heard Raymond's words.
Veronica stammered, trying to explain, "Marie... I... I..."
Marie smiled and hurried her, "It's alright. You don't have to explain. I have been there. Get changed and have your breakfast. If you are late, he will be anxious." Marie was teasing her.
Veronica blushed and mumbled, "Marie."
"Go on. And run slower. If you fall, it will break his heart!"
Veronica was lost for words.
Was this still the same Marie who always stood on her side? Now Marie was completely on Raymond's side. Hey, this was not fair. They all made fun of her!
Veronica didn't know how she finished her breakfast.
In the car on the way to school, Veronica looked at Raymond sulkily.
Raymond, who was driving, stopped at a red light and looked at Veronica with a smile. "What's wrong? You find your boyfriend too handsome that you can't take your eyes off me?"
Veronica was lost for words.
Was such a shameless man really the CEO of Cordova Group?
Veronica decided to turn her face away and tune him out.
Talking to Raymond would only make her feel uneasy. However, Raymond was indeed very handsome. Every time she looked at Raymond, her heart would beat faster and fall deeper for him.
They arrived at the school gate. Veronica got out of the car and left before Raymond could ask for a kiss from her. In the end, Raymond could only look at Veronica's back with disappointment and then drove away.
Somewhere in the school.
Stella exclaimed in shock after hearing Veronica's words. Stella asked in disbelief, "What did you say? You and Raymond are a couple now?"
