Chapter 412 Caught In The Act

Chapter 412 Caught In The Act

"Yes ma'am." The security officer quickly responded.

The staff checked the video and fast-forwarded the surveillance records. Veronica Parker knew it was hard to find out who stole it but it would at least give her an idea who went to her office at that time.

"Stop." Veronica Parker ordered. "Slow down." She added.

She saw Bella. She wondered what she was doing at the Entertainment Department.

But Veronica Parker realized that Bella often goes to their department if needed.

"Go on." Veronica Parker instructed the security officer.

The surveillance records were played until Veronica Parker returned to the department. Then she that aside from the staffs of the Entertainment Department, there were also staffs from other departments. And with that, it would be more difficult to catch who the suspect was. There was nothing suspicious with the whole surveillance records. Veronica Parker thought again of Bella. It was just her who seemed suspicious enough. And besides, she used to play tricks before towards other people.

But without any evidence, she couldn't just accuse anybody. They won't admit it either. People would also think that she was unreasonable.

The cell phone in her bag rang so she regained her senses and walked out of the monitoring room.

She took the phone out of her bag to check who the caller was.

It was Nick Cage.

Her eyes grew bigger and she became frightened again.

She cleared her throat then answered the phone as if nothing happened, "What do you want from me now?"

"Oh you're probably busy and this was not such a good time to talk, right?" Nick Cage responded with a low voice and bothered tone.

"That's not what I meant." Veronica Parker got nervous subconsciously.

"Off from work?" He checked.

"I just finished. I'm on my way home now." Veronica Parker went to the elevator then pressed the button.

She thought Nick Cage would still say something, but he just hung up.

Veronica Parker frowned, wondering what Nick Cage meant. For that instance, she was not able to predict his thoughts. Nick Cage still had several tricks up his sleeves. She thought that he might be upset because she didn't go to the Winter Villa.

She then started to think of an acceptable reason if he finds out that she lost the watch that he gave her. Sure he'll be pissed off.

Could she just tell him that she forgot and left it in the office? Or just be honest and inform him about the incident? Veronica Parker's mind was running circles. She couldn't think of a valid reason for him not to get angry at her. For sure he would regard it as if she didn't care at all and just lost it.

She has to find a way to get that watch back.

Veronica Parker was not herself and she just walked straight out of the TV station. When she was about to go down the steps she saw a car parked at the side of the road, a Rolls-Royce.

She panicked and missed a few steps. She got too scared so she immediately closed her eyes and just expected her body to fall on the ground.

Just when she was about to fall, somebody behind her grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards a sturdy chest.

Before she got into her senses again, a furious man yelled at her and said, "You should always watch your step. You have always been so careless!" Veronica Parker looked up and saw the black sharp eyes of Nick Cage. His voice was deafening and she sensed how nervous he was when she almost fell.

"I---I didn't realize it for a moment." Veronica Parker looked dazed.

She thought that Nick Cage would be in the Rolls-Royce. But surprisingly, he was just there behind her. If it hasn't been for him, she would have suffered so much. She just panicked upon seeing the car because she was still worried about the watch that she just lost. The thought that Nick Cage would find out about it frightened her.

"Thank you." Veronica Parker added.

Veronica Parker stood up, stepped back, and tried to get out of Nick Cage's arms. She realized that they were still at the TV Station so it was not a good idea for other people to see her near him.

Instead of letting go, Nick Cage exerted a slight force and brought her closer to his chest. But she pushed him back. "Hey! Somebody might see us." Veronica Parker broke free from his arms. "I'll go inside the car first." She uttered.

With that, she went down the steps and ran towards the car.

When she got to the side of the road, she went inside the car without looking back. The bodyguard was just next to Nick Cage.

When Veronica Parker got in the car, she pressed her face against the window and looked outside.

Fortunately, she didn't see any other colleagues nearby.

The bodyguard opened the door and Nick Cage got in the car. Then they drove away from the TV Station.

Bella appeared when the car went farther. She was just hiding in the corner and she saw everything that happened.
