Just thinking about it was enough to make one's heart ache.
Vera remained where she stood, hesitating. After a long while, just as she decided to give up and leave.
Quill moved.
Then, he just happened to look in Vera's direction.
At first, he only glanced at this side unintentionally. After taking a glance, he withdrew his gaze.
As he looked away, this handsome man paused and looked back again, as if he wanted to confirm something.
Although they were a little far away from each other, Vera's vision was good, so she saw Quill's movements clearly. Of course, she knew that he had seen her now, and she had no chance to leave at all.
Sigh, if she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have hesitated for so long; she should've just left as soon as she could.
Now...
Vera braced herself and walked over. She raised her hand to Quill with no expression on her face, and the corners of her mouth lifted casually.
"Good morning, President Hanover. Where is Sam?"
Quill was still a little surprised when he saw the young lady walking towards him. Because according to the previous two situations, he thought that she would definitely turn around and walk away when she met him.
He hadn't expected she would walk toward him.
Inexplicably, the color in Quill's eyes darkened.
But very quickly, he felt as if a wet blanket had been thrown at him.
The young lady had indeed walked over to him, but she spoke extremely politely to him.
"Good morning, President Hanover. Where is Sam?"
Not only had she addressed him as President Hanover, but she also came to ask about Sam?
He felt as if something had entered his chest and then ran from his heart to all four of his limbs.
He couldn't stop himself from asking.
"Are you two seeing each other?"
Huh?
Initially, Vera forced herself to walk over and mustered all her courage to talk to him. In fact, she also thought about how to address him countless times. Mr. Hanover was less appropriate, so she called him President Hanover like others did.
Then, she thought that he might not be in the mood to answer her.
According to his usual temper, he would only reply with a hum and nod as a response.
She hadn't expected he would ask such a question.
"Are you two seeing each other?"
Vera was confused.
What did he mean?
At first, Vera was baffled, then confused, and finally, she understood what he was talking about.
Quill was asking if she and Sam were together. Why? Was it because she had asked where Sam was the moment she arrived?
Just when Vera wanted to answer no, Quill stood up and handed the blanket in his hand to her. His voice and tone were very cold.
"Just asking, you don't have to answer. By the way, thank you for the blanket last night."
Vera subconsciously reached out her hand to take "He is in the bathroom and should come out soon. I have a meeting in the morning. I have to go first. Please tell Minerva for me."
After that, Quill turned around and left as if nothing had happened.
Looking at his tall figure, Vera subconsciously opened her mouth to explain that there was nothing between Sam and her.
However, even though she had opened her mouth, her throat was so dry that she couldn't even utter a single word.
She held the blanket in her hand, and it was burning hot. Finally, Vera looked at his back as he walked further and further away, and her hand hung down powerlessly.
Her heart ached.
Forget it, what was there to explain?
