In the end, Vera just hid in her room.
Mabie knocked on the door to her room, but Vera pretended not to hear it. It was when Mabie knocked harder that Vera simply said, "Mom, stop knocking. I'm going to take a shower."
After that, she took her clothes and hid in the bathroom. Then she turned on the shower, hoping that Mabie would leave after hearing the sound of running water.
At the thought of something, she got out of the bathroom and took her phone that she left outside into the bathroom and closed the door.
There was only the sound of running water in the bathroom, isolating all the other noises.
As Vera was listening to the sound of water, she turned on her phone, wanting to text Quill.
But on second thought, it hadn't been long since she got upstairs. Quill was probably still driving. If she texted or called, it would definitely distract him.
Forget it; his safety was more important.
So Vera put her phone on the rack by the sink and began to shower. She didn't know if Quill went back to the Hanover Villa or the private villa? If he had gone back to the Hanover Villa, then the distance from her place was not too far, so he would probably have reached by the time she finished her shower.
If he went to his private villa, then she wouldn't be able to estimate. Because she was in a daze when she went there that night, and she was busy avoiding him when she came back. So she had no idea where that place was exactly.
Well, even if he got home, he would need some time to wash up; it might take him quite a while.
She decided to take her time in the shower.
She would text him later.
Initially, Vera wanted to shower her body only because she just washed her hair the previous day. She did not have the habit of washing her hair daily, and she was always kept busy in the restaurant, so she wouldn't wash it if it wasn't necessary.
But things were different now, she and Quill were dating. They might have to meet every day in the future. Well, with Quill's personality, it probably would be a little difficult for them to meet daily, but... what if?
If they were to meet each other, how bad would it look if she was unkempt?
As expected, dating was indeed troublesome. Why didn't she care about her image back then? Thinking of this, Vera felt that even her body was filthy. She used a bath sponge and some shower gel and scrubbed hard. Only then did she realize that the shower gel was for babies.
Vera secretly decided to change her shower gel!
After the shower, Vera put on her pajamas, which had a cartoon character on it. When she was about to brush her teeth before the mirror, she saw from the mirror that the cartoon character in her pajamas was smiling hilariously, making her look totally...
Vera was flabbergasted.
Would Quill like her childish style? In the past, she did not think that her clothes were at all childish. She chose this kind of pajamas specifically because she thought that they looked cute!
But now? Vera couldn't accept how it looked.
So she remarked to get some new pajamas!
After taking a shower and drying her hair, Vera laid on the pillow with her phone and opened the shopping app. She began to look for new shower gel and pajamas for herself.
There were many types of shower gel, one specialized in floral and fruit fragrance, packaged in a transparent bottle with petals in it. It looked colorful and exceptionally beautiful.
Vera bought it because of the packaging in the past, and it looked gorgeous when she received it. But the fragrance wasn't long-lasting; the smell would be gone only after a short while.
After browsing for a while, Vera still didn't buy anything. She went to the perfume category then she saw a perfume with the name After Sex; it made her eyes widen in disbelief.
There was actually such a perfume?!
It changed her perspective of the world once again!
After some time, Vera still couldn't see anything she liked. She simply put her phone aside and laid on the bed.
Forget it; she should take a look at the mall the next day. At least she would get to try out the fragrance there.
Time passed, and Vera looked at the time again. She wasn't sure if Quill had reached home or if he had settled down. Just when she was wondering if she should text and ask him, her phone suddenly vibrated.
