His Beautiful Addiction

Chapter 339 - It's Not Going To Hurt Her

Veronica's phone rang on the table and she peeked at it when she saw the caller, she grabbed it immediately. Her eyes checked the other workers to know if they were watching but luckily, they were all interested in the movie they were watching.

Standing up, she sneakily walked out of the room, and to the garden in the backyard.

Swiping, she picked up the call. Before she could say a word, Gwen beat her to it.

"I will send you a list of ingredients to add to her diet, don't make any mistakes."

Veronica looked towards the door to check if anyone was coming, and then she whispered,

"Hope it won't harm her?"

Although she loved money, she was more interested in not going to jail.

"It won't, she's my sister, I won't hurt her. Make sure you're not caught."

"Okay."

Veronica nodded and ended the call, she turned around to enter the room and her heart jumped when she saw Bella standing beside the door.

"Oh my God…, you scared me!"

Bella creased her brows, watching her intently.

"why do I feel you're hiding something?"

She asked, and Ver rolled her eyes.

"why do you love poking your nose in other's businesses? You never change do you?"

She said and walked past her, Bella following her immediately.

"I accept I like gossips but you've been behaving strangely recently and I'm your friend, I need to know what's going on…"

Veronica stopped and turned to look at her,

"There's nothing going on, I just called my mom because… she fell ill, I'll be going to see her soon."

She lied. She knew Bella, she liked gossip and she was sure she won't leave her until she got what she wanted.

"Oh, you would have told me rather than behaving like there's some simmering news." Bella pouted and walked past her.

"Oh you don't want to listen to it anymore?"

Ver asked jokingly as she watched Bella hurry back to the room, as though regretting why she followed Ver in the first place.

"Sorry for your mom!" Bella shouted as she hurried back to where she came from.

Veronica shook her head with a light chuckle.

She would have to be very careful now. Bella was starting to suspect something.

…

"Oh my baby is back!"

Claire hugs Tiana so tight that she almost lost breath.

Passerby watched them but Claire screamed the more,

"My baby, yes, she's my baby, she's back!" Claire pointed at Tiana as she jubilated excitedly,

Tiana felt like sinking into the ground. Claire was such a package.

"Claire, can we go in now."

Tiana laughed and Claire released her.

"Yes, yes, let's go inside. Look at you, you're radiating!"

Claire was so happy to see her. She quickly brewed coffee for her.

"You look so good, I don't need to ask how your hubby has been treating you, cause it's written all over your body."

Tiana chuckled, "stop teasing me."

She smiled, and before I forget,

"I got this for you." Tiana gave her a parcel.

"Oh my God, my favorite chocolates and a wristwatch!" Claire beamed as she took out the contents.

"Thank you bae!"

"you're welcome, and this is for Leo." Tiana dropped another parcel on the table and Claire's expression darkened.

"Is he in the office?"

Tiana asked but she didn't speak, after a second, she turned off her phone and sighed.

"Tiana we aren't together anymore for now. "

She told her this before but she didn't believe her, they just got together, what would make them separate?

"what happened?"

'' Apparently, my dad doesn't want me to be with him, he wants me to marry someone else, and I don't want to. It's a long story but just know I might get back with him in three months, hopefully."

"Hope you're okay?"

"I'm trying my best, I just work a little more harder to get my mind off him."

Tiana smiled.

"I hope you're getting married when all these ends?"

"Did you just ask that? Definitely!"

Tiana laughed. "you'll be fine okay? So tell me, what has been happening all these while?"

"Well, nothing much, except that your beautiful sister joined the company, and Larissa had a scandal with Mark Lewis."

"Mark Lewis? Isn't he married?"

"Exactly, his wife caught them and she's not having it. She's dragging her everywhere online and it's not been funny. I think she lost a few deals. No management wants to be associated with such scandal, it's been a bad time for her."

"Ow, that's sad."

"You feeling sorry for her?" Claire raised her brows,

"No, it's just that, so many bad lucks at the same time."

"Tch, I don't care. I don't like her and she brought it upon herself."

Tiana smiled, "Okay. "

"And back to business, you have a lottt of contract offers and I don't see how ill be handling this for you, so I got you a manager, she's been idle for a while now, since you've been vacationing."

Tiana laughed, "I'm back now, and I'm ready to work."

She's been organizing your contracts, I didn't know you were coming in today, I would have asked her to come over, I just asked her to work for the mean time, but if you don't like her, you can choose another, but trust me, you will like her."

"that's so thoughtful of you, thank you."

"Yeah, let me give you her contact."

Claire said and picked her phone from the table, sending the manager's contact to her.

"Are you free, I want to take you out later in the evening?" Tiana asked,

"Awnn, that's so sweet, and I'm so very free!"

Tiana smiled, "Alright, let me greet the others, I'll be back."

"Okay, will be waiting for you."

She nodded and walked out of the office.

She walked towards Leo's office next but he wasn't in, taking out her phone, she tried to call him but she stopped when she saw Gwen and she smiled sweetly.

"You look good." She said, stopping in front of her.

Gwen brought down her phone to her side, turning the screen off immediately, she just finished speaking with Veronica and she wasn't expecting to see Tiana.
