Chapter 414 Betrayal

Nick Cage was the perfect example of a well-established man.

He was too ambitious even when he was still young; career-oriented and leaned towards a wealthier future.

Veronica Parker on the other hand was used to living a simple life. She was also career-oriented but her life was far simpler than that of Nick Cage.

She realized that if she hasn't suggested this restaurant, he won't be able to experience eating this kind of simple food.

Nick Cage stared at the food in front of him. He already had second thoughts about it and was about to refuse and just let Veronica Parker finish it all.

Veronica Parker noticed his hesitation and uttered, "Eat."

She put on the disposable gloves, picked up a chicken leg then handed it over to him.

Nick Cage looked at the drumstick in front of her, and his eyes fell on her empty wrist. "Where's the watch and bracelet that I gave you?" He asked.

Veronica Parker looked at her wrist and slowly uttered, "I forgot and left it in the office drawer." Nick Cage looked at her with a straight face. His eyes were so serious.

Veronica Parker explained, "I didn't mean to forget it! I got your call, so I forgot to put it back on. When recording the show, the jewelry has to be taken off."

"Don't take it off next time." Nick Cage said.

"You mean you wear it for the show?" Veronica Parker confirmed.

"Why, is there a problem?" Nick Cage asked.

"No. None at all." Veronica Parker responded just to end their discussion about it.

Nick Cage already implied what he wanted Veronica Parker to do so she can't possibly disobey him.

However, she was a little bit shy to wear those kinds of jewelry at work. People knew they were expensive. If they see it on her, it would just cause a stir, and people would talk about her. She hated that kind of attention.

But her main concern was not about wearing them at work. Her main problem now was her lost watch.

She felt anxious again. To distract him from asking more questions about it, Veronica Parker decided to change the subject. So he asked and instructed Nick Cage, "Why don't you wear gloves first?"

Nick Cage couldn't refuse her. He compromised to her request, picked up the gloves, and put them on. He smiled at her and said, "This won't happen again."

Veronica Parker smiled back at him and said, "If you don't eat, I'll finish it all."

He placed the drumstick into his hand then took a bite to taste it. He liked the taste of it so he took a bite again.

Then Veronica Parker explained, "You know what Mr. Cage? Eating high caloric food makes the brain secrete dopamine, which makes you feel happy. That's the reason why people say that good food is equivalent to a good mood."

Nick Cage took a bite again then his black eyes stared deeply into Veronica Parker's face. He was really in a good mood.

In Rachel Hamilton's luxury apartment, she looked at Bella sitting opposite to her and asked, "You still have the nerve to come here? What do you want from me??"

"Rachel, are you still mad at me? What happened last time was just a misunderstanding. I did help sign the children's audition because I found out later on that the Director didn't blame Veronica Parker. Instead, he gave her enough time. So I just went on and pretended to be a good person so people will trust me. We are still on the same boat Rachel. However, sometimes things don't go as planned. But that shouldn't change anything that's between us." Bella explained. Rachel Hamilton angrily stared at Bella and did not say a word.

She still doesn't like Bella. But she realized she needed her help and she could use her against Veronica Parker. Bella didn't mind the disdain look on Rachel Hamilton's face. She took something from her bag, showed it to Rachel Hamilton then uttered, "Here, this gift is for you."

Rachel Hamilton thought Bella just wanted to lure her and to make her happy. When she saw the ordinary box, she asked, "What is this worthless thing?"

"Look at what's inside." Bella teased Rachel Hamilton.

Rachel Hamilton took the box and opened it. She was stunned by the watch inside and asked Bella, "Where did you get this?"

"I think you already know the value of this watch," Bella answered.

Rachel Hamilton couldn't believe what she just saw. She even wondered if Bella just tried to fool her and brought her a fake watch. She thoroughly inspected it, only to find out that it was indeed authentic. She was lost for words.

Rachel Hamilton's face wondered how Bella could afford such a brand. She knew Bella was up to something.
