A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

She closed her eyes in pain but could not get that scene out of her head.

That night, Veronica suffered from insomnia. In the morning, she finally fell asleep at some point. However, she only slept for a few minutes. Because in her dream, she was back at the hospital, Veronica was suddenly awakened.

When she woke up, Raymond was still nowhere to be seen. She frantically searched for her phone. There were no missed calls. She tried to call Raymond.

But his phone was turned off.

It made Veronica more anxious.

The sun had risen outside the window. She looked at her phone. It was already six o'clock, and she couldn't sleep. She got up and quickly packed her things to go to the company.

Willie was a good friend of Raymond. Veronica had just found out about that a while ago. Willie was close to Raymond, so maybe Willie could get some information, right?

...

When Veronica arrived at the company, it was just seven o'clock. When the guard saw her, he was slightly surprised. Veronica took out her badge and swiped it to get into the elevator. She went straight to the company.

However, she arrived too early, and no one was in the company.

It was only seven o'clock now, so no one was at work, thus the empty building.

Veronica waited for the door to open. When the door was opened and she started to work, it was eight o'clock, but Willie did not show up, which made Veronica extremely anxious. She could not get to work straight away and made many mistakes. Kyla came to find her many times. When Veronica saw her coming over, she asked Kyla if Willie was there, but all Veronica got was a negative answer.

Veronica didn't see Willie for the whole morning. She was wondering if he would come in the afternoon, but he didn't show up even after she waited the whole afternoon.

When it was time to get off work, Veronica left the company, spiritless.

Then, as if suddenly thinking of something, Veronica took a taxi to the Cordova Group.

At this time, the employees of the Cordova Group just got off work. Veronica went straight to the underground parking lot. She planned to go upstairs from there because she knew if she went to the lobby on the first floor, the guard would definitely not let her in. Although she also needed a security badge to get into the parking lot, many people went there to get their cars after work, so Veronica exploited an advantage and got in.

When she was about to take the elevator, she saw a familiar figure. It was Devin Cook.

Devin was Raymond's assistant, and he should know something.

When Devin saw someone suddenly rushing towards him, he turned around and ran. Veronica quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Devin, you know where Mr. Cordova is now, don't you?"

Devin looked at Veronica with an awkward expression before smiling. His smile was as kind as usual, tainted with ridicule.

"Ms. Luke, it's you. I was scared and ran away when I felt someone was chasing me."

"Devin..."

Veronica frowned and wanted to continue asking. Devin quickly said, "Well, I have something to do. I'll leave first. Bye!"

However, he was not as fast as Veronica, and when he wanted to escape, Veronica blocked his way, leaving him no way to run.

"Ms. Luke, I really have something to do. I'm in a hurry..." Devin pointed at the watch on his wrist with an anxious expression. "I am running out of time."

"You haven't answered my question yet. After you answer it, I will let you go!" Veronica asked.

Devin was helpless.

It seemed that if he did not say anything, Veronica would not let him off.

After thinking for a moment, Devin sighed and said, "Alright, what do you want to ask?"

"You are Raymond's assistant. You should know what happened to him better than anyone. I want to know how he is now. Where is he? I want to see him!" Veronica asked. After listening to Veronica, Devin sighed again.

"In fact, I'm not too sure where the

president is now. I still don't know what happened to him. It's just that ... General Hemming's sub

called me and asked me to deal with the company matters for the time being. He didn't let me ask about anything else. As for what happened to Mr. Cordova, he didn't tell me,"

Devin answered truthfully.

Veronica weakly lowered her arms.

It seemed that Lindley stopped the news from spreading, so the others did not know Raymond's real situation.

If even Devin didn't know anything, who else would know?

Devin noticed Veronica's strange expression and asked, "Ms. Luke, did something happen to Mr. Cordova? Do you know something?"

Veronica pursed her lips with difficulty and said in a flat tone, "It's nothing. You have something urgent, right? You can leave now. It's time for me to leave too!"

"But..."

Devin wanted to say something, but Veronica turned around and left. Her shoulders were limp, and she was like a soulless walking corpse.

Looking at Veronica's back, Devin felt sorry for her, but thinking of Lindley's instructions, he could only harden his heart.

Watching Veronica walking away,

Devin took out his phone, walked

back to the car, and dialed a

number. "Hello, I'm already in the underground garage. Whereas the address? I'll be there now."

In the dining room, Veronica and Stella sat together. Stella talked about the interesting things that had happened in the past two days. Veronica lowered her head but did not eat or speak.

Stella noticed there was something wrong with Veronica.

"Veronica, it wasn't easy for us to get together. What happened to you? Aren't these your favorite dishes? Why aren't you eating?"

Veronica put down the fork in her hand.

"I have no appetite."

Stella looked at Veronica with concern and asked, "Veronica, what happened? Did Raymond bully you again? Tell me. I will settle the score with him now." Veronica lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "But I don't know where he is now."

"What? Is he missing?"

Veronica nodded and briefly explained what had happened yesterday. "Even now, I don't know where he went.

"He was injured because of me!" Veronica said in a low voice, "If it hadn't been for me, he might... be fine."

"So..." Stella said with difficulty, "It was Raymond who saved you seventeen years ago?"

Veronica nodded.

"So, he didn't deliberately go missing, but... because he was injured..." Stella said the last few words with even more difficulty, "And might even be dead."

Those words shattered the hard shell of Veronica's heart, giving her a sharp pang.

Veronica clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.
