All Chapters of Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“Mother!” Veronica squealed excitedly the moment she saw her mother.“Oh my! Look how dazzling my beautiful daughter is glowing!” Mrs Nicholas grinned and pulled her in for a hug.“Hey! You didn’t see me? okay, so you missed only mum right?” Veronica’s sister feigned sadness as Veronica hugged their mother tight.Veronica pulled away from her mother’s arms and faced her sister, Matilda. She frowned and rolled her eyes.Why should I miss you? you should have been the one married to that jerk and not me.She was going to slam at her sister but instead the frown in her face faded into a big smile.“I missed you too sis!”“Silly girl, now you realize it?” Her sister pulled her in with a big grin.“Home has been pretty quiet since you left...” she said as they slowly disengaged from the hug.“Yes, we miss you,” Mrs Nicholas added.Veronica made a face. “Right? That is why you guys should have let me stay with you, so should I come back home? urh, urh ? urh...mom, I should come back home u

WRITER’S POVWILLIAMS GROUP MEETING ROOMSTATUS: BOARD MEMBERS MEETING IN PROGRESS.“Chairman Williams appoints Director Oliver Williams in charge of Williams Motor production,” the meeting anchor started. There was a scanty clap from some of the people in the meeting. Oliver Williams nodded towards them a thin smile. He couldn’t have been more pleased. It was a moment he had waited for.“However, while Chairman Williams has given a go ahead, all that remained is the signature of director Lawrence. Erm, Director Lawrence? Care to let the board members know what’s keeping you from leaving your signature on the project?”Okay, calm down, Lawrence. It’s now or never...Lawrence felt the gaze of almost all the men settle on him. He took silent deep breaths then he pushed the microphone to his reach and spoke into it. “Urh, forgive my reluctance on signing off on the project. However, I have my reasons.”There was a bit of murmur amongst the men.“What reasons do you have, director Lawrenc

WRITER’S POVJust like his father said, Director Mason met Lawrence and it didn’t take a lot of time before everything was fixed. The rest of the day was as uneventful as it could be and Lawrence didn’t realize it was late in the evening until his secretary rapped on the door and walked in.“Sir, will you be spending the night here in your office? Should I get you a cup of coffee for the night?” Miss Jones asked.“No, don’t worry about the coffee. I won’t be staying here for the night.” Lawrence answered without looking up from his phone. He glanced at his golden wristwatch and continued looking into his phone. A picture of Bianca was showing in the screen. He would zoom it in and back again. He was missing her terribly. She said she will be returning soon but didn’t mention the exact day. He was dying to hold her in his arms and kiss her. If not for this project, he would have booked the next available flight and went over to her. That was how much he missed and wanted her.Miss jone

VERONICA’S POV“Where are you right now?”I briefly removed my phone from ear, peered at the caller identity again before I put the phone back in my ear.“Home,” I replied.“Check the internet.”“Urhm, why?” I asked but the line had already beeped and went dead.I frowned in confusion.“That was weird...”I murmured to myself and for a moment I pondered on what just happened.Chairman Williams calling me himself, not through his wife nor Director Mason or even through his son but by himself. The most surprising thing of all, asking me to check the internet.Wow! Since when did we get that close? If he wanted to check the internet, he could have asked his secretary or something, why ask me.To think he didn’t even mention why he asked me to check the internet. Was he always this rude? How could he hang up after saying all he wanted to say and didn’t care about what I had to say...Mtsw, I must have been deceived at first when I thought he was cool.I casted a look at the bunch of files

WRITER’S POV“Hey,” Lawrence called quietly as he joined Veronica on the dining table.“Hey,” Veronica mumbled back without shifting her gaze away from her plate. He reached for the cinnamon toast in her front but struggled with it. Veronica lifted the plate of cinnamon toast and placed before him so he could reach it easily this time.“Thank you,” He said and glanced at her. He noticed she hadn’t looked up from her plate nor have their eyes met since he joined her at the table and when he glanced into her plate of food, she had barely eaten anything and repeatedly poked at the omelet and scrambled eggs before her.His lips pursed briefly as he wondered if her sudden quietness was something related to him.“Are you alright?” He found himself asking.“Mm-mmh,” She mumbled with her eyes still fixed on her plate.Lawrence shrugged and continued eating. He wondered what she was thinking about.The past week has been one of his worst but she had made it less traumatic for him. He didn’t t
