The person's back was tall and broad, like a steady pine tree standing in the wind.
It was Quill.
Vera instantly recognized his back. She reflexively stepped back and hid in the corner. Her heart thumped rapidly as she stood close to the wall.
What a disappointment.
Vera scolded herself in her heart.
All of a sudden, a familiar female voice rang.
"Um... I'm sorry, President Hanover. I didn't mean to bother you. It's just that since I have an opportunity to be here today, I wanted to look for you. I've admired you for a long time, and I knew that you've been single. I didn't dare to speak hastily before, but I want to take this opportunity today to ask you to give me a chance."
Vera's eyes widened incredulously.
If she hadn't heard wrongly, the voice... was clearly Helen's, whom she chatted with earlier.
The famous Helen actually... admired Quill?
She stood there in a daze as she found the news extremely surprising. How could this be?
However, it made sense as she continued to think about it. Women would throw themselves at someone as outstanding as Quill. A celebrity was also an ordinary person with desires. It's only normal for her to act so too.
What about Quill?
Helen was outstanding too. She was beautiful, and she had the best face and body. Compared to her, they were heaven and earth.
He would probably be moved by being confessed by such a beautiful woman.
Vera's heart ached, and her nose felt a little sour as she thought about this.
What was she thinking? Even if Quill liked someone like Helen, it had nothing to do with her.
She had already decided to forget about him, hadn't she?
Just Vera's imagination ran wild, a cold, masculine voice rose.
"Since you know that I've always been single, then you probably shouldn't have said these words to me today," Quill spoke.
Helen was stunned for a moment. But she was a celebrity, after all, so she was good at managing her reaction. She gave a faint smile.
"Maybe things could be different after today?
You've been single for a long time, and I wanted to give myself a chance too. If I didn't give it a try, then I would have nothing." Helen explained.
What she said was true. There were many things in life we should take our chances on.
She was fearless.
It was also what Vera had thought before suffering any setbacks. She even thought that as long as you wanted it, you could get it by working hard.
However, she had forgotten one thing. He had never belonged to her.
Now, Helen was in the same position as her.
"Things wouldn't be any different."
Quill looked indifferent as his gaze turned cold. This particular goddess, for many people, didn't look special to him at all.
Helen looked at his handsome face, and her lips moved slightly. Just as she was about to say something, Quill suddenly interrupted her in a cold voice.
"How long do you plan to keep hiding and eavesdrop on us?"
What?
Helen initially couldn't comprehend his words, and it took her quite some time to react. She instantly became nervous and began to look around.
Could there be paparazzi around? That was impossible. Everyone at the party was acquaintances, and this was the Ocean Villa. None of the paparazzi in the North City would dare to infiltrate this private area. As soon as they were caught, they could get sued for going against the law.
As soon as Vera heard Quill's words, she was so afraid that her whole body instantly tensed up.
