Seeing her like that, Vera didn't bother being polite. She pulled a long face and said, "I didn't hear it in the bathroom just now. Why are you so angry? Are you blaming me, Lauren?"
Lauren was taken aback. She didn't expect Vera's attitude to change so quickly. She was smiling earlier, and she looked angry the next second as she stood there.
Had she missed something? Vera actually had such a side?
No matter how angry Lauren was, she didn't dare vent out her frustrations anymore. She had no choice but to change her words.
"It's nothing. I can't blame you since you didn't hear me knock. I thought you were deliberately ignoring me, so I got anxious. You're not angry with me, are you?"
The corners of Vera's mouth twitched as she looked at her.
"You thought I was ignoring you on purpose? Why is that so? I have no reason to do so, don't I? Could it be that you feel guilty because you did something wrong? Is that why you think I'm deliberately ignoring you?"
Lauren was taken aback. She hadn't expected Vera to say such harsh words, and there was even a hint of inquiry in her tone.
What was going on? It had only been one morning. How did she change so quickly?
No, it had only been an hour. Did something happen during this hour?
Did Quill tell her?
It was impossible. How could Quill talk about them?
Was she making a wild guess?
With that thought, Lauren's eyes flitted across Vera's face as if she was looking for an answer.
As she was searching Vera's face, Vera smiled brightly and said to Lauren in a soft voice, "Oh, Lauren, did I scare you? Do I really look so scary when I'm serious?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Lauren was baffled.
"I was just joking with you. I didn't expect you to be scared. Lauren, don't be angry. Let me apologize to you." Vera said.
Lauren was at a loss for words.
What on earth was this b*tch trying to do?
"By the way, Lauren, where's my toothbrush and facial cleanser? Why did you come empty-handed? Didn't you say that you would bring them
over?"
Vera looked a little disappointed. "If I had known, I would've looked forthem myself."
Lauren came back to her senses; she didn't know if Vera was acting. But since she brought it up, Lauren had to continue her act.
She could not be exposed; she had to maintain her facade.
"Oh, now that you mentioned it, I didn't find your toothbrush and your facial cleanser. Did you remember wrongly? If you really can't find them, I'll help you look for them inside. Maybe it's in your suitcase."
After that, Lauren took a step forward and wanted to go in. Unexpectedly, Vera stepped in front of her and blocked the door. She said with a smile, "It's alright, Lauren. If I really can't find the toothbrush, I'll use Quill's for now. I think he also has a facial cleanser. I'll use his first."
"You'll use his? It's not hygienic to share a toothbrush, isn't it?"
