"Don't worry, we just want to find out what she looks like out of curiosity. What bad intentions could we have?"
"Exactly, you're overthinking it. If you're so worried that something bad would happen, then you shouldn't have told us about it and kept it to yourself instead."
Seeing these comments, the receptionist suddenly felt a little regret. Perhaps she should have hidden it from them. If anything bad was to happen the following day, she would be directly involved in it.
However, she wanted to see Vera's defeated face and figured to just let it be.
The first few times, Vera would be in the reception room waiting for Quill because he had a lot of work to deal with, but the day before, she fell asleep in the reception room. However, there were other guests who went into the room and ended up seeing her laying on the sofa. The guests and Vera were dumbfounded.
After that incident, Quill told Vera to wait for him in his office directly as he also had a lounge in his office.
It was the first time she had entered his office.
She was lost, and she felt anxious.
She bit her lower lip lightly and took a deep breath to reassure herself before she walked out from the elevator. Then, she ran into Juliette outside the elevator.
Seeing her, Juliette smiled at her as if she was not surprised to see her and she said, "You're here?"
Her tone sounded very casual towards her, but somehow, Vera was flustered when she saw Juliette because she thought that Juliette seemed like a smart woman and she could read her every thought.
In front of her, Vera had nowhere for her to hide her thoughts.
Of course, she didn't mind if someone could read her mind, but Juliette used to like Quill, and she liked him for a long time too.
Vera found out about it from Minerva, and back then Juliette wasn't married yet. She had thought that Quill and Juliette would end up together after a while.
At that time, Vera's feelings towards Quill were not that deep, and she figured that she would give up on her feelings if he and Juliette got together.
However, who would have thought that Juliette would give up on him first? She ended up getting married quickly and having kids. Back then, Vera felt that it was a pity that Juliette didn't get to be with the man that she had been in love with for such a long time.
Now, when she saw her again, Vera's opinion had completely changed.
All of a sudden, Vera envied her because she was daring when it came to love, and she was loyal to her feelings towards Quill back then. After she decided to give up on him, she was able to drop all her feelings for him. Then, she managed her marriage well and did a great job in educating her children without being distracted from her work.
Juliette was such a capable woman, therefore Vera felt a little ashamed in front of her.
"Yes." Vera nodded and smiled shyly at her.
Juliette looked at her. Vera was wearing a bluecolored sweater with a knee-length skirt. Her soft, long hair was on her shoulders, and she looked fresh as usual. She even looked an extra dash of adorable that day.
As she smiled at Juliette, Vera's face looked sweet and it made her look very cute and lovable.
These were characteristics that Juliette never had.
So, was this the type of girl that Quill was attracted to? She couldn't deny that he did have good taste, because even as a woman, she found
Vera lovable too and she had the urge to protect her.
"Good news. President Hanover just finished with a meeting and he doesn't have any work planned for the rest of the day, therefore you can have sometime with him."
