"Yes.. Boss.. You're right. That's why I'm telling you to call Ms. Veronica and have a talk with her, so that you could stop her from coming here…" Tom suggested.

Reuben agreed with him as he knew, no one was able to prohibit Veronica if she had already fixed her mind on something..

So he decided to call her immediately to escape out from the lion's den as he said, "Tom… Thanks for informing me. Now I'm going to call her. You can go and check the preparations of the surprise thoroughly..

Tom nodded his head and left the cabin to give his boss some privacy.

Reuben picked up his phone and took a large deep breath to survive the upcoming storm. He finally dialed the number after numerous times of prayers to Jesus Christ and few rings later he heard the angry voice of Veronica..

"You bastard! Now you have gotten some time to talk to me after I threatened you with your life. What the hell were you doing in these pass two days? I called you so many times but you rejected my calls everytime.. 

You know what, I just want to kill you so much that I'm hardly controlling my anger now. What was so important for you to cut my call each and every single time? Were you trying to hide something from me?" Veronica growled from the other side of the phone as she kept him asking questions after questions.

Reuben pinched the end of his nose, getting tensed when he heard her pointing out the fact of him hiding something from her.

Trying not to show his nervousness in front of her, Reuben said in an extremely soft tone, "Vero… You are misunderstanding everything. I'm not hiding anything from you. And why should I when I know that you'll kill me the moment you find out about my secrets..

And I was not receiving your calls because I was truly busy in few important business meetings and other stuffs. Otherwise I'd definitely pick up your calls like I always do. I'm really sorry…Okay??"

Hearing him apologizing to her, Veronica's anger subsided a little bit but she was still upset with him so she asked in an almost disappointed voice, "Is your work more important to you more than talking to me or meeting me after I came back to city S around six months later?"

Reuben analysed the pain in her voice and his heart clenched feeling her hurt as he said softly, "But Vero.. I went to visit you in the middle right? And I was really busy you know..

Moreover, don't you hate me with all of your heart? Then why are you so much upset not being able to meet me?"

This triggered the bottom line of Veronica as she glared up like a fire alarm, "Yeah… Now you'd tell me that I hate you so why should I think of meeting you??

Actually, I really hate you so much to remind you that you went to visit me in city S a couple of months ago.."

A tear escaped from her eyes as she whispered in a very low voice which was hardly audible to anyone, "I just wanted to meet you. Is it my fault than I can't except even a single call from you??

I even bought a gift for you thinking that you'd like it. But seems like, I expected too much from someone. You don't even have a single freaking minute for me…"

Reuben heard Veronica's voice cracking at the last part and he rubbed his face with his left hand, feeling extremely helpless at the moment.

"Fine… Do one thing. Let's meet at tomorrow evening. I'll pick you up from your home. And don't forget to bring my gift with you. Otherwise, I'll not allow you to eat your favourite pizza." Reuben said the last sentence jokingly to make her laugh..

Little did he know that those cracking voice and crying was nothing but a show to blackmail Reuben emotionally to make him agree to meet her.

Veronica very well knew that Reuben must be really busy to not accept her call but she was getting frustrated on herself unable to meet him.

She wanted to proclfess her love to him but was not sure if he would have also loved her like the way she did...

So she decided that it would be best if she started to meet him more and then she can slowly confess about her true feelings to him through her actions...

She did a happy dance when Reuben agreed to meet her next day and said excitedly, "Okay.. Then I'll be ready for you. Come on time, otherwise I'm not going to give you, your gift. Also you're giving me a pizza treat tomorrow to get my forgiveness."

Reuben chuckled and said, "Deal then.."

After hanging up the call, Reuben left a deep sigh and murmured to himself, "This girl will be the death of me one day. I really can't hold myself anymore from agreeing to her request through I know it very clearly that she was just making an act of crying to make me get agreed to her request…

But one thing I know is...she was truly upset with me not receiving her call. But how I'm going to arrange everything in such a short time??"

Looking up at the ceiling he muttered, "Oh God!  Give some strength to me for getting success in the most difficult task of my life without any commotion...

Okay Reuben!! Enough of your self talking. Now let's call Tom and tell him about my plan of meeting my Ica tomorrow."

Tom entered Reuben's cabin few minutes later and asked, "You're done talking with Ms. Veronica, boss?"

"Yeah.. Just ended the call with her. However Tom, I've something serious to discuss with you." Reuben said leaning forward and keeping both of his hands on the table.

Tom observed the serious expression on Reuben's face and he said, "Sure Boss. Tell me whatever you want. I'm hear to listen to you and help you in everything."

Reuben gave him a small smile before throwing the bomb on him, "I'm going to meet my Ica tomorrow. So we've to prepone all of our plans from this next week to tomorrow.."
