Chapter 282 - Dampened mood...

"Her name is Veronica Lopez.. We call her by her nickname Vero.."

As soon as Diana heard the name, her expression became terrified and she asked while stammering, "Vero.. As if Veronica Lopez?"

"Yes.. why are you stammering suddenly?" Lucinda asked being confused.

Diana blinked few times to get our of her emotion and plastered a smile on her face, "Uhm.. Nothing. It's just that I remembered someone with the name Vero. Lucy, can you please tell me what kind of dress do you prefer the most?"

The trio instantly understood that Diana wanted to change the topic so they also didn't pressurise her and Lucinda started describing about her style statements which both Willa and Diana just listened to her carefully whereas Louis just ignored their girly conversation and busied herself in playing games on his phone...

But he didn't forget to steal some glances at Diana in between and smiled internally just by seeing her focused gaze.

After around one hour, everything got settled and the meeting got over.

Lucinda exclaimed happily before saying, "You really have a great fashion sense Diana. Now I understand that why uncle chose you be to the head fashion designer of such a big company while you are so younger in age."

Diana smiled at them and said, "Thanks for appreciating my work."

Willa then said, "Your work is really good. By the way, we are coming again tomorrow, at the same time, right?"

"Yeah.. I'll prepare the design till then. So you guys could confirm it tomorrow and then I can start stitching it. The measurements are already done so there will be not many problems." Diana informed.

"Okay then. We will meet tomorrow again." Lucinda said and hugged Diana being followed by Willa.

Louis looked at Diana and said, "We'll discuss about the advertis.e.m.e.nt thing later after you finish making this crazy girl's dress."

"Who are you calling crazy? You are a crazy bastard.." Lucinda growled immediately at Louis.

Before situation could go out of the hand, Willa interrupted them and said, "Guys, you can fight later. Don't forget that we have work. So let's just leave now."

Saying goodbye to each other, the trio left while still bickering and Diana kept staring at them with an amazed face and then chuckled, forgetting the fact that she was thinking of searching about Veronica Lopez on the internet to see if she was really her friend.

But that couldn't be possible because her friend, Veronica belonged from a middle class family whereas the Vero, the trio was talking about was the daughter of Mr. James Lopez....one of the most wealthiest man of country K...

So shaking off the thought she busied herself in her work again...

Johnson Estates…

Henry just ended a meeting when his assistant came inside his office.

"Boss, when are we going to release the statement about you and Ms. Wilson's engagement?" Henry's assistant asked.

Henry looked at his watch and said, "You can release it now. Also give a statement that we're in a relationship from the past two months."

Henry's assistant nodded and called the H. R. Department to release the announcement.

Soon the official page of Johnson Estates showed a post which says..

"Mr. Henry Johnson and Ms. Lucinda Wilson had been dating from the past two months. With the family's blessings and love, the couple decided to get engaged on the auspicious day which is this Thursday...

We thank all of you for your support till now and hope that you'll continue supporting this beautiful yet new couple. Please bless them with your love and support..

Thank you all..."

Soon the news spread like a wild fire among the whole city. The reporters were completely shocked with another big revelation on the same month after REUNIC couple's commitment news...

They couldn't believe that another popular bachelorette man was hitched now with another beautiful heiress Lucinda Wilson.

Two relationship revelations from the same group one after another on the same month, made not only the reporters but also the netizens crazy like hell but all of them started cheering and congratulating the soon to be engaged couple with their blessings and love..

Now they started to think who was the next in the group who was going to leave another bomb on them the next time..

And Neil topped in the expecting list among all of them but the thought of him being a well known playboy forced forced the netizens to take a back step...

On the other side, as soon as the friends group saw the post, they congratulated the couple by leaving them a message..

"Congratulations to both of you for joining our group of 'Showing off Couple' guys..." Reuben joked.

Currently they all were chatting in the online group that they have in their social media account which consisted,  Reuben, Veronica, Henry, Lucinda, Neil, Willa and Louis..

Everyone gave the couple a teasing emoji and Reuben laughed at them..

Reuben was presently waiting for Veronica at the parking lot of Creation. When he finally saw the figure of his girlfriend getting closure to his car, he immediately opened the front passenger door for her and gave Veronica a charming smile.

Veronica smiled back at him showing her white pearly teeth as she was being pulled into a heart warming kiss...

They kissed each other passionately involving their tongues in them. They sucked each other's lips and quietly nibbled on it before licking it again.

It continued for a minute before it ended, making them pant heavily. When they pulled apart from each other, Reuben saw something was amiss in Veronica's eyes as if it was not shining as brightly as other time.

But instead of saying something at that moment, Reuben drove off to their home while holding Veronica's hand in his secured palms...

Love-Paradise...

As soon as they entered their home Veronica entered the kitchen to drink some water and Reuben followed her.

After drinking water, Veronica noticed Reuben's presence behind her and gave him a faint smile which was very much unusual of her..

So Reuben immediately went towards her and cupped her face in his hands before asking, "Babe, Did something happen in the office today? Why are your mood so dampened now?"
