A few days later, Matthew made the necessary arrangements for Tony and his wife to relocate with the two kids while he and Veronica returned to work.
Veronica drove to Vincere Games. Since the reporters were unaware of her affiliation with the company, none of them camped at the entrance. Taking the elevator from the underground parking lot, Veronica went upstairs.
When she appeared in the lobby of the esports company, the receptionist immediately ran over after seeing her. “You’re finally back, President Murphy! I’ve missed you so much!” The receptionist gave her a big hug. Veronica smiled and replied, “Long time no see.
You’ve gotten prettier!” “Aw shucks, President Murphy! You’re such a sweet talker.” The receptionist smiled happily.
“Here, I bought some things for you guys. Distribute them among yourselves.” Veronica handed the large stack of boxes she was carrying to the receptionist, saying, “Thank you for your hard work.”
“Thank you, President Murphy.” The receptionist took the boxes and made a beeline for the office. With that, Veronica proceeded toward the president’s office, knocked on the door, and. entered the room.
In the office, Shawn and a woman were entwined in an intimate embrace, exchanging. tender words in hushed tones. At the moment the door opened, the woman in Shawn’s arms glared at Veronica and hissed, “Who are you?!”
Veronica’s expression darkened slightly as she stared at Shawn with cold eyes. In a panic, Shawn pushed the woman away when he met Veronica’s icy gaze. “V-Veronica… You’re back?”
Veronica, clad in a black suit, strolled toward Shawn and gave the glamorous woman beside him a side-eye. “Don’t you know where you’re at? Go home if you want to flirt. You’re in a workplace, for goodness sake!”
“Pfft, who do you think you are? How dare your speak to Shawnie like that?!” The woman wearing heavy makeup folded her arms and snorted coldly.
Veronica’s gaze flickered, but she didn’t utter at word. Shawn, on the other hand, pointed at the woman and growled, “Get out! Get out of here right now!”
Although Veronica partnered with Shawn and Jayden in Vincere Games, Veronica was the largest shareholder. However, after Matthew ‘died, Shawn and Jayden started behaving dismissively to her..
Who would have thought that Matthew, who was ‘dead, would suddenly come back to life? Because of that, Shawn and Jayden developed an increased sense of reverence toward Veronica, especially since Veronica was truly skilled.
“How could you…” The woman’s face turned beet red with anger. She glared at Shawn and snapped, “How could you take that woman’s side, you nasty jerk?!”
She dashed out with tears streaming down her face. When the door opened, Jayden, who had just come out of the bathroom, happened to bump into her. Seeing the tears on her face, he couldn’t resist teasing her, “Why are you crying, beautiful? Did Shawnie hurt you? Why don’t you come with-”
Jayden hadn’t finished speaking when he saw a familiar figure standing in the office. He tilted his head and met Shawn’s gaze. Instantly, he understood the entire situation.
“You’re back, President Murphy.” Jayden smiled. Veronica approached the desk and shot a piercing gaze at Shawn, causing him to promptly yield his position. She then took a seat on the office chair and instructed in at commanding tone, “Notify the finance department to bring me the recent financial statements immediately.”
“Yes, of course.” Shawn immediately took the order and scurried to the finance department. Soon, a woman entered the room with a financial report in her hands and placed it in front of Veronica. “Good day, President Murphy. I’m Rosa Escarrà, Skyler’s assistant. I was assigned to replace Shirley and have taken charge of recent projects and operations. Here are the company’s financial statements.”
Veronica looked at Rosa, who was dressed in professional attire and appeared capable and trustworthy. Then, she picked up the financial report, read the content thoroughly, and couldn’t help but let out a pleasant hum, “Impressive. Under your leadership, the company’s revenue has multiplied in just one quarter. No wonder you have Skyler’s full trust.”
