After hearing Quill's reminder, only then did the senior executives come back to their senses and rush out of the elevator. Just so happened that the elevator door was about to close, and one of them slammed onto the door with a bang. He cried out in pain and retreated, stepping on the feet of the person behind him, leading that person to cry out in pain. Everyone shoved each other out of the elevator.
On the other hand, Juliette had already come out of the elevator long ago. She watched as the group of men pushed and shoved, secretly shaking her head helplessly.
Luckily, she got out quick enough. Otherwise, she would have been squeezed into meat chunks.
After everyone exited, Quill held Vera's hand emotionlessly and pulled her into the elevator.
Vera was dragged inside; she was so embarrassed that she didn't dare look at the others.
It wasn't until the door closed that she finally dared to breathe.
As for the managers, they started gossiping right on the spot.
"Who is that young girl? Is she President Hanover's girlfriend?"
"No way? She looks so young, and President Hanover has never wanted to be in a relationship, hasn't he? Why did he suddenly have one so silently?"
"If I had known that President Hanover was interested in getting a girlfriend, I wouldn't have allowed others to have the chance. I would have introduced my daughter to him. Alas, who would've thought someone else had already taken him."
"You're right. If I had known that President Hanover liked young girls, I'd have introduced him to my daughter, who had just reached the legal age."
Everyone looked at that person who was talking with contempt.
"Timothy, how shameless of you. How could you introduce your daughter to President Hanover when she'd just become a legal adult. Have you ever considered your daughter's feelings?"
"That's right. Timothy, are you even a father?"
"What's wrong with that? She's not underage. How could you all call me shameless? Besides, do you all even know what shame is? Don't all of you want your daughters to date President Hanover as well? Everyone knows that this man doesn't smoke nor drink, and he's so wealthy. Who wouldn't want their daughter to marry him?"
"What a pity... who is that young girl just now? Do any of you know her?"
Juliette, who had been listening to them gossip, couldn't listen on anymore; she directly interrupted them.
"Guys, if you're all so interested in President Hanover's private life, why don't we take the elevator up and ask President Hanover in person?"
They were at a loss for words, "How dare we do that? Secretary Sharpio, you're the closest person to President Hanover. Who is that young girl? Which family does she belong to? Why have we never seen her before?"
"Yeah. Secretary Sharpio, how did she get together with President Hanover?"
"Tell us about it. What if we have the chance in the future?"
Juliette was speechless at once. She narrowed her eyes and scrutinized the men in front of her. "Who would've thought? All of you usually look so decent, yet you're all thinking about such things? You all want your daughters to marry President Hanover, but have you ever thought that the person who just went up would be the
future Mrs. Hanover?"
Everyone was stunned at once and could not respond in time.
