Here Comes Veronica (62)

To get into a real relationship?

Veronica thought that there was something wrong with her ears and that she had heard it wrong.

"Mr... Mr. Cordova, what did you say?" She asked, trying to confirm what she heard.

Raymond looked at her with a smile.

Then, he enunciated each word, "I say, the two of us can become a couple. That way, all the rumors will prove groundless, and people won't judge you anymore."

Veronica was speechless.

She thought, 'He sounded very reasonable and yet ridiculous. How is that gonna happen?'

"Well... Mr. Cordova, are you joking with me?" Veronica gave him a sullen glare.

But Raymond stared at her seriously with his lip curled a bit. "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Veronica was lost for words.

It was true that he didn't look like he was joking. But ... what he said was nonsense!

If the two were in a relationship, that would be rather strange!
