188 Uncovering the secre (1/2)

Tony was getting worried that Veronica might burn out herself. Though she's still on training, it's already eleven in the evening and she hasn't come home so he drive to the company building and found her there still working on her own office.

”V, let's go home.” He said.

”Just a moment.”

”How many hours have been sitting there?”

Veronica stop for a while and look up at him. He bent out and kisses her forehead.

”Let's go home.”

”Okay.” She saved her work and pick up few things. Then she turn off the computer. Tony hold her as they went to the parking lot.

He drove the car back to her unit and carried her until there. She's already asleep, tired from work. He put her down on bed and help her remove her clothes. She open her eyes and kisses him.

”Sleep, I'll take care of you.”

Veronica did closed her eyes for her to sleep back. After Tony is down with sponge bathing her, he take a warm shower. He got out from the bathroom and heard her phone ringing. He search for it on her purse. On the phone screen is an I.D caller, yellow alert. He touch it with his thumb to answer it but it vibrates and didn't accept his finger print.

Veronica sat up and she immediately took it away from him. She answer it and put it on her ear as she listen carefully.

”What's that?” He asked.

She hang up and put the phone on the side table near her. She didn't answer him as she lay down.

”V, what is it?” He ask again.

”I'm tired.” She mutter.

Tony ignore it for a while and lay down with her. He pull her into his arms and cuddle her hair. She's just tired. So there's no energy for both of them to argue. And what's there to argue? It's just a call. But he wanted to know everything about her.

They both woke up eight in the morning and Tony drive her to her office. While he was driving, she was talking to someone over the phone and she is listening carefully. He even saw a glimpse of her smirk. He drop her off and she gave him a passionate kiss.

”Don't work yourself out, I love you.” He mutter and kiss her again and again.

”You too.” She smile. It looks like she's blooming.

Tony work as usual and then he remind her about them going to beach their getaway. But since he was texted by his friends that he have prepared a party for him, he just couldn't ignore them so he texted her. It's his birthday and he wanted to spend it with her.

Veronica calls and tell him that she'll be with him then. He was excited that they could leave after the little party that his friends prepare for him. He get off from work early since Gabriel give him three days birthday vacation.

Tony enter on the open air pool party that his friends settled for him. What he did not know was Veronica was on the same venue talking with investors. His friends prepare a special gift after he blow the candle from the cake.

”Where's your fiancée?”
