Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

The esports company was mainly involved in game competitions. Now that they had added a live

broadcast segment and had recruited many live broadcast employees, they were planning to contract

two Internet celebrities at a high fee.

Veronica almost felt out of breath with so many things happening every day.

Still, life was going at a pretty good rhythm for her.

At least this way, she wouldn’t have the time to think about Matthew.

Crayson had a ruler in his hand when he walked in front of Veronica and tapped her on the head lightly.

“What is the point of taking a break when you are in a Horse Stance? Back then when my master

trained me, he used to make me stay in the pose for an entire morning. Look, you are not balancing

your lower—” And so, his nagging began.

Veronica had heard those words so much that her eardrums had probably worn out.

“What are you saying, Crayson? Even though my skills aren’t amazing right now, who would dare bully

me? Besides, you said it yourself that your training is for keeping the body fit and healthy. I am very

healthy now and I can put up a fight. Do I really have to keep doing this?”

She was so fatigued she thought she was on the verge of a breakdown.

Standing in a Horse Stance for an hour wouldn’t usually be that big of a deal, but it felt rather

uncomfortable for Veronica to remain in the pose while she was on her period.

“Nonsense!” The old man huffed and slapped the rule on her behind. “Lift your chin. Chest up. Tuck

your core in. You better stand properly.”

“I…” She started to speak, only for her to not know what to say in return.

She couldn’t figure out why he was so obsessed with making her train so hard no matter how much she

thought about it.

Remembering the various situations Crayson had encountered before, she asked tentatively, “Crayson,

where are you from? You have never told me about your past since I was a child. It is really no fun

staying in this pose. Why don’t you talk to me?”

Actually, it wasn’t as boring as she said it was. Her problem now was that her lower abdomen was in

pain, and the menstrual cramps were sucking the energy out of her.

Her sudden question must have surprised him as he took a glance at her, a glint appearing in his deep

eyes.

He then looked somewhere else with his outstretched hands behind his back. As he held the ruler, he

started pacing beside her. “I have forgotten about the past,” he replied.

“Then how is it that you remember your master?”

“Hmph! Once a teacher, always a teacher. How can I possibly forget?”

“Haha! Then how about you tell me about your master, Master Crayson?” She finally called him her

master.

“My master, he—” Crayson had just begun to tell the story when he came to an abrupt stop. He then

raised his eyebrows and peered at Veronica. “You better do as I tell you to. Don’t ask about anything

else.”

After that, the man kept his mouth shut no matter how many times she tried to dig into his history by

asking questions.

Seeing that she couldn’t get anything more out of him, Veronica had no choice but to give up. However,

her curiosity had been piqued.

“By the way, Crayson, I will need you to take a leave and help me keep Yvonne safe these two days

after I go to work. Conrad Kings is the father of her child, and he had been trying to take the baby

away.”

As Crayson had been in Bloomstead recently, he also had an inkling about what was going on with

Yvonne.

“Sure.” He nodded when he saw the solemn look on her face. “I will take leave later and go keep her

company at the hospital.”

“Thanks so much, Crayson,” Veronica said with a smile.

She was moved by how much Crayson was willing to quietly do for her.

Her smile was only returned with a slap from the ruler on her waist. “Stand properly if you want to thank

me. No cheating.”

The sudden pain made her suck in a deep breath. “Ouch… That hurts…”

…

Veronica packed up and went to the company after exercising in the morning.

When the usual morning meeting ended, Sean made her stay behind as he reminded, “Roni, you are

going to shoot some clothes from some phone application shopping brands today. They may not be

high-end, pricey products, but it is a good start for you nonetheless. I hope you can take it seriously.”

“Mhm. Alright, Mr. Ludwig. I will—” Her phone in her pocket rang out, cutting her off while she

answered Sean, who was sitting beside her.

She took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID, only to see that she was getting a call from Larry.

Finding it inconvenient to take the call with her boss here, Veronica was about to reject the call when

Sean encouraged, “It is alright. Go ahead and pick it up.”

“Ah. Okay.”

She swiftly picked up the call, and her greeting was replaced by a “Crazy?”.

“Hey, Demoness. Are you busy?”

“I am at work. Shoot.”

“I bring good news. There is a fight scene, right? Stephen recommended you to the director. He said

that you are excellent at fighting, and he wants to fight against you. Would you like to come and give it

a try?”

Veronica could feel Larry’s excitement even through the phone.

However, she was more elated than he was upon hearing his words.

“What? D-Did you say that Stephen recommended the director to let me play a supporting role that will

fight him?”
