After getting into the elevator, Vera's originally calmed heart started to feel uneasy.
Before she came, she had already mentally prepared herself. She told herself not to be nervous because she was just here for delivery to express her apologies and also thank Quill, that was all.
Therefore, there was no need to be nervous; she should behave like how she usually did.
Before leaving the elevator, Vera took a few deep breaths.
When she walked out of the elevator, the person who welcomed her was an unfamiliar face. "Hi there, are you Miss Vera Zais?"
Looking at the fresh face in front of her, Vera was stunned for a moment, then she quickly nodded.
"Secretary Sharpio told me to welcome you; please follow me."
Vera, who had no idea what was going on, heard Juliette's name and could only follow behind the girl absent-mindedly. Since she was already in the Hanover Corporation, nothing bad would happen.
As the girl guided her, Vera walked in with a bag in her hand. The girl brought her into a room.
"Miss Zais, please wait here. Secretary Sharpie said she would come over in a while."
"Thank you."
After the girl left, Vera looked around and found that the room was spacious. There was a sofa and a coffee table. They had water, coffee, and even a wine cabinet.
This was probably the antechamber of the Hanover Corporation.
The antechamber of a big company sure was different. Back then, Vera was the one who set up the antechamber in Minerva's company; it wasn't as luxurious as the one here in the Hanover Corporation.
After sitting for five minutes, Vera heard footsteps coming from the outside.
"Vera."
The person was wearing a sharp suit and high heels; she looked absolutely stunning. Vera stood up and addressed her with a smile, "Secretary Sharpio."
"It is really you. I wasn't sure if it was you through the phone call earlier." Juliette was surprised.
She was Quill's secretary. Although she had never contacted Vera in private, she had been working under Quill for a long time, and since Vera was always around Minerva, the two of them got familiar.
"Yes." Vera nodded shyly as she recalled how anxious she sounded over the phone call earlier.
Juliette looked at her from head to toe. Vera was wearing an orange blouse and a pair of skinny jeans while her hair was tied up into a ponytail; she looked fresh and outgoing.
Vera had always had a babyface, and her outfit made her look like a fresh graduate about to start her first job; pure, glorious, and not scheming.
"You're here to see President Hanover, aren't you?"
Juliette was so direct that Vera's pale face turned red, and she nodded in embarrassment.
"I..."
"Unfortunately, he's in a meeting now."
Hearing this, Vera quickly waved her hand and said in a panic, "That's all right, I'll just wait for him here. Shouldn't you be busy too if he's in a meeting?"
Juliette nodded helplessly. "Yes, since I am his secretary, I should be in the meeting taking down notes. I made an excuse to come out here to see you. I'm going to go back to the meeting after this."
After she said this, Vera felt very guilty. "I'm sorry, I didn't think that my arrival would cause you trouble. Secretary Sharpio, you should head back to the meeting first."
Juliette gave her a meaningful look and said, "No trouble at all; it's only a few minutes. Don't worry about it. This is a VIP antechamber; there's a computer and television here. Feel free to entertain yourself with them if you feel bored."
"Okay, thank you!"
After Juliette left, Vera remained in the antechamber.
To her knowledge, this kind of company meeting would need at least one to two hours, and that was only if it was quick. Some meetings would take up to four to five hours or even a day.
