The sudden sound of the male voice shocked both of them.
The person who talked to Vera looked at the source of the sound. When he saw the speaker's stern face and cold eyes looking at him, he inexplicably felt a chill behind him.
"President... President Hanover?"
Who at this banquet wouldn't know who President Hanover was?
However, he was usually alone. Why was he talking to him all of a sudden that day? The man knew he wouldn't stand a chance to talk to him. "The reason that President Hanover is here is that..." He thought about it and looked at the girl he was trying to hit on. The girl in the white cocktail dress.
Sure enough, Vera's eyes were fixed on Quill's face. There seemed to be a frightened expression on her fair face, and her lips were slightly parted as if she wanted to explain something, but she couldn't.
In fact, when she was stopped by this man, she felt anxious because if she was late, she didn't know if Quill would go into the banquet by himself and leave her outside all alone.
She didn't expect him to walk over to her.
At this moment, his eyes were a little cold and they looked a little heavier than usual. Vera pinched her dress and hesitated for a while. Finally, she walked towards him with unsteady steps.
As she walked, she took a deep breath.
Although the shoes fit that day, they were too high for her. If she had known this earlier, she would have picked a pair of high heels that were shorter.
However, the pair of high heels were the only ones that matched the dress. It took her a few days to pick them out.
Just as she was about to reach Quill's side, she tripped on her shoes and she fell forward towards the ground.
Not far away, Yannie saw with her own eyes that Susan had been thrown out after throwing herself into Quill's embrace. She fell onto the ground in a miserable state and be gloated by others. There was actually another woman trying to reenact the same trick by falling into his embrace?
Yannie's arms were crossed in front of her. When she saw Vera fall towards the cold and elegant man, the facial features on her face changed. Her expression became panic-stricken.
Her acting looked real.
However, she wasn't that great at controlling her expression. She was falling into his embrace with such a horrific expression, so was she trying to scare him off?
Tsk, that was so dumb of her.
Soon, Yannie was slapped in the face by her own thoughts.
Quill, who looked unfazed, suddenly stretched out his hand and caught Vera firmly in his arms.
The crowd who was ready to watch the good show were speechless.
Yannie was dumbfounded.
Susan, who had just embarrassed herself horribly, was shocked too.
What was going on?
Vera thought that she would be on the ground, but someone caught her. Then, a familiar scent rushed into her nostrils and surrounded her.
She raised her head in surprise and happened to meet Quill's calm and dark eyes. Her heart skipped a beat.
"Does he think that I fell on purpose just to get him to hold me?" This was her first thought.
Thinking of this, she quickly explained herself, "Oh, I'm sorry... These heels are a bit too high. I didn't
do it on purpose."
