Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1115

"You owe it to him?" Juliette raised her eyebrows and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something she didn't know about, but she didn't intend to dive deep into it. Instead, she smiled at her and said, "Well, I won't ask you more about it. Just walk down straight and the last one is President Hanover's office."

"Thank you."

"I'll go grab lunch."

Juliette waved at her and left.

After she left, Vera stepped forward. She followed Juliette's instructions and found the last door. The door was closed, so she could only knock.

"Come in."

The man's deep voice came through the door and her heart fluttered. She felt nervous all of a sudden. Then, she quickly calmed herself down, pushed the door open, and walked in.

Quill's eyes were fixed on the screen of his laptop. He instinctively asked the person to come in when he heard knocking on his door. Then, he didn't bother looking up at who it was, because he assumed it was just one of his employees coming in to report to him about work.

After all, it was what he had to go through everyday.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, he found his office was still in complete silence. He then looked up and saw Vera holding a bag in her hands as she stood obediently in front of his desk. She looked uncomfortable.

It turned out to be her.

No wonder it was so quiet.

"You're here?"

He asked, and SHE nodded hard. She began to stammer nervously and asked, "Err... Should I put this on your table?"

He recalled the past, where she would behave in a sprightly manner in front of him, and her eyes would light up at the sight of him. She was straightforward, real, and genuine.

She was terribly sincere.

Now? She would avoid eye contact, and she would stutter when she spoke to him due to her unease.

It was probably all influenced by him.

He was unhappy about it. The fact that she was behaving so anxiously around him made him feel like he shouldn't have asked her to come here and make her feel like she couldn't be herself.

As he thought about it, he stood up and

whispered, "There's a table here."

She walked towards it and placed the bag on the table. Since he was here, she said, "I'll leave it here then. If there isn't anything else, I think... I'll leave first?"

The handsome man in front of her raised his head and looked at her face. When she asked, her tone was very cautious.

He looked at her in silence with a sharp gaze.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"No... Not at all."

She was just afraid of what he would do to her, and she was also awkward because of what has happened in the past.

"If you're not, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

To prove that she was not afraid, Vera could only walk to the sofa in front of him and sit down. She placed her hands on her knees and sat up straight, like a school student in class.

"I'm not in a hurry to leave. I just didn't want to disturb you during your meal. If it doesn't bother you, I can just sit here."

"Alright."

Quill didn't refuse her and began to eat in front of her. He looked noble and elegant when he ate. His handsome side profile was particularly charming. When he ate, his lips parted and closed. The color of his lips was slightly dark, but it suited him.

While watching, she was deeply drawn by him. She naturally thought about back then where she forced a kiss on him.

At that time, she was a fearless young girl. She pursued him passionately despite being rejected by him. But now she just found the old her terrifying.

If she was to fall in love with someone again, she would never be able to do things that would risk her self-esteem again.
