At the moment of collision, Vera only felt a burst of pain on her forehead, and then she felt dizzy.
A strong masculine aura suddenly enveloped her from all directions.
Because of the large number of people, the elevator was noisy.
But after Vera realized where she was, she felt that the entire world fell silent.
She raised her head and stared at Quill, who was holding her in his arms. Her eyes were full of incredulity.
This...
What was going on?
Quill... Did he know what he was doing?
Just as Vera's mind was filled with doubt as she looked at Quill, he pushed her away with a cold face.
"Don't you know to avoid?"
Vera was unable to lift her head because of his words. She bit her lower lip lightly and was about to refute when she heard Quill staring at the person pushing the wheelchair and saying coldly.
"Even if you are in a hurry, you should watch out in a public space, shouldn't you? If you hurt someone else, did you think it would be enough to say some irrelevant apology?"
He was the president of a company, coupled with his strong and strict aura.
So at this moment, because of his words, the noisy elevator also quieted down. Others didn't want to cause trouble, so they held their breath and didn't make a sound.
The wheelchair was pushed by a middle- aged woman, who was dressed in fashionable clothes. The man in the wheelchair was very old and they looked like a pair of father and daughter.
The woman looked at Quill. She could tell at a glance that Quill was an extraordinary person. He was probably someone not to be trifled with.
However, she felt annoyed that Quill was embarrassing her in front of so many people, so she replied in a strange tone.
"I didn't hit her, didn't I? Besides, didn't you know to move aside when I came in? Don't you know how to take care of an elderly man?"
The elderly man she was referring to was the old man sitting in the wheelchair.
Vera hadn't expected Quill to scold the woman, nor had she expected her to actually retort. The atmosphere in the elevator became tense all of a sudden.
"So you're saying that you can do whatever you want just because the person in the wheelchair is an old man?" Quill spoke in an even colder tone.
All of a sudden, the temperature in the elevator dropped drastically.
The middle-aged woman was embarrassed and didn't say anything else, seeing that the man was not someone to be trifled with. At this moment, the old man in the wheelchair trembled as he opened his mouth.
"I'm sorry, young lady... My daughter didn't do it on purpose. She's just a little anxious. We're rushing downstairs. I apologize to you on her behalf."
The old man was very sincere, and his attitude was very good.
Initially, Vera didn't care about it, but the middle-aged woman's attitude was really very bad. Now, after hearing the old man's apology, Vera had her heart softened immediately.
She waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. I wasn't hurt anyway. You don't have to apologise."
The middle- aged woman said in a mean tone, "That's right. Even the young lady admitted that she hadn't been hit. Why are you so fussy about it as a man? You're so crass!"
Hearing that she talked down to Quill, Vera frowned, and the anger that she had just restrained burst out at this time.
"What are you talking about? I said it was nothing for your father's sake. Your father has a good attitude. How can he have a daughter like you? It's obvious that you almost hit me, but you kept arrogantly blaming me, and think you did nothing wrong."
Vera suddenly burst out; it was beyond the middle-aged woman's expectation. She opened her eyes wide in disbelief. "You..."
"What? I have never lost a fight before. Don't bully people just because they're young and say that they are crass. Why don't you look at yourself? You almost hit me, but you don't want to apologize. You sure look disgusting!"
The people in the elevator also did not expect that Vera would burst out. She looked so vulnerable hiding under Quill's protection just now.
But now? She looked as if she was an animal and her territory had been invaded. She looked fierce and bared her fangs as she roared angrily at the other party, acting as if she was protecting the weak.
After that, Vera put away her sharp claws and teeth and showed a sweet smile to the old man.
