Chapter 293 Tiffany’s Headlines
Veronica had seen similar news of Tiffany many times within the month and she had to admit that it had worked wonders.
The perception that people had of Tiffany took a full one-eighty as many netizens were showering Tiffany with compliments and praises. It seemed as though the officials had bought ghostwriters to take the lead of the flooding positive comments.
As she watched Tiffany’s act of rectitude in the interview, Veronica smiled lightly before skipping the video. It was none of her business anyway, so why should she bother wasting her time watching it?
Feeling bored, Veronica left the office and took the elevator to head to the Vincere Games. She felt her efforts had paid off as she observed her busy employees.
Fortunately, he was introduced as the boss’ friend to the employees, not as an investor. Therefore, everyone in the building did not assume otherwise.
After being in the office for a while, the manager brought her the financial statements. Given that the profit earned this month was finally stabilized with double the profit compared to the previous month, it was a good start for them.
Then, she returned to the bridal store, in which Ivana gave her a call while she was on the way back.
Veronica answered the call instantly. “Ivana, what’s wrong?”
“Veronica, my boss is asking whether you would like to be the endorser for our company,” inquired Ivana carefully as making Veronica angry was the last thing she hoped for.
“Why me?” Veronica was curious as to why Ivana’s boss wanted her to be the endorser again.
At that moment, Tiffany, who had been appearing on the entertainment news lately, came into Veronica’s mind. Veronica could sense that it had something to do with the recent hot topic on the Internet. Although both of them did not look exactly the same, they were like two peas in a pod. One could not easily distinguish them at first glance.
“It’s… Uhm…” Ivana stuttered in hesitation and let out a wry smile. “The previous endorser is embroiled in a scandal and it has greatly affected our company’s reputation. So, our boss thought of you.”
Despite the long excuse, Ivana did not come clean with the exact reason why they wanted her back.
“How much is the endorsement fee?” Since Ivana had no intention of spilling the beans, Veronica forsook the thought of prying further.
The end of the year was nearing and a massive amount of money was needed for the two company’s expenses. Besides, she had to keep her promise by giving them a bonus.
“75,000.” The amount was not that high, but it was still considerable.
“Deal.” Veronica gladly accepted the offer and proceeded to discuss the details with Ivana before terminating the call.
Back in her office, a tired Veronica sat on the chair and kneaded her forehead. However, she received a call from Xavier not long after she set down her phone.
“Xavier?”
“Busy?” questioned Xavier nonchalantly.
“I’m in the office and the boredom is killing me.” She twirled the strands of her hair. “Anything I can help you with?”
“It’s nothing serious. Remember the client—my friend—whom I introduced you to? It’s his wedding tomorrow. So, I just wanna check if everything is well-prepared.”
He was referring to his friend who had contacted the bridal store a month ago. In order to provide a satisfactory service, Veronica and her team had concocted three proposals for the client, by which he was very pleased with. At the mention of it, she finally recalled that the wedding would be held tomorrow.
Veronica responded, “Of course, we are fully prepared. Wait, are you going to be the best man?”
“Bullseye! You’re as sharp as always.”
Usually, she would slur over such a subject as she would be the one to blame for having Xavier remain a bachelor amongst his taken friends.
The clever woman changed the topic immediately. “Let’s have Shiro’s sushi together after the wedding is over. It’s been awhile since I last had it.”
“Sure.”
“It’s settled, then. I’ll end the call if there’s nothing else.” She ended the call right after saying that.
The client Xavier introduced was Jackson Leonard, who had a reputable image amongst the high society in Bloomstead. Indulging in assortments of industries, the Leonard Family had formed many partnerships with prominent companies, including Spinfluence Group, Dame Group and Floch Group.
Therefore, it was easy to assume that the guests attending the wedding tomorrow would definitely be either rich or famous. The traumatic experience at Matthew’s wedding had cast a pall of trepidation upon Veronica and she was concerned.
She was worried that something bad might occur—ruining the wedding and bringing loss to the company. Therefore, she rounded up the team urgently and commenced an emergency meeting pertaining to the wedding.
When Veronica was still working overtime in the office at night, Yvonne rang her. Veronica frowned at the sight of the caller’s ID displaying on the screen.
After her friendly warning to be aware of Conrad, Yvonne had rarely contacted Veronica anymore. It was either Yvonne was busy with dates or simply angry with her.
While answering the call, Veronica sounded pissed. “Greetings, little princess. To what do I owe this pleasure?”
Yvonne was speechless by Veronica’s sarcastic tone. “Veronica Murphy, you—”
“What’s wrong? I thought you love it whenever people address you like that.”
“No, I do not! I only want to hear that from Conrad.”
“Tsk tsk tsk… Another damsel blinded by love.” Veronica asked, “So, what brings you to call me? Is Conrad in a meeting or on a business trip? There’s no way you would suddenly think of me.”
Veronica hit bullseye once again and Yvonne smiled sheepishly. “He went on a business trip and will be back tomorrow. I’m bored. Wanna go for a movie date?”
Veronica snorted. “You must’ve bought the tickets before his business trip and you have no one to watch with now.”
“You… Fine, then.” Yvonne heaved a long sigh.
Although Veronica intended to decline, she figured that it would not hurt to let her hair down for a while and thus, she went out with Yvonne.
When Veronica arrived home after the movie, she saw Tiffany downstairs. It was their first meeting in three months.
Veronica alighted from the car and went up to Tiffany. “How did you know that I live here?”
Tiffany looked slimmer than before. Instead of the usual haughtiness and coldness, she was rather mature and level-headed. Veronica knew well what had happened to the woman, which was probably the reason for her change.
