Here Comes Veronica (13)

Seeing Veronica's stubborn look, Marie felt even more apologetic.

"Veronica, you were punished by Mr. Cordova because of me. You should eat something. Just one. Mr. Cordova won't know!"

Veronica looked at Marie with a smile. "Marie, I appreciate your kindness, but I am a person of principles. Besides..."

When Veronica looked at Marie, there was a sense of guilt in her eyes. "You were reprimanded by Mr. Cordova because of me. I should be punished. Besides, skipping one meal won't do me much harm. I'll just take it as I am on a diet!"

"You are already so thin, why would you need to lose weight?"

"It's the fashion."

"Veronica..."

Veronica stood up and gently pushed Marie, "Marie, go back and rest. I'd better work hard. There's not much left. I'll go back to rest after I'm done!"

Seeing Veronica so insistent, Marie could only sigh.

"Then you must not force yourself too much. When you are tired, take a break!" Marie reminded Veronica.

"I got it. Thank you, Marie. Go back now!"
