At the cafe.
Yulia had been observing Quill from the side of the road for a long time before she entered. After not seeing him for a week, she noticed he seemed to have become thinner, and he looked tired as the dark circles around his eyes were obvious.
It was definitely all because of his girlfriend.
At the thought of this, Yulia felt bitter. She swallowed her sadness, forced a smile, and walked in.
Quill remained nonchalant when he saw her. He only greeted her and said nothing else after that.
Yulia sat quietly after ordering a cup of coffee.
She had a hunch of what Quill wanted to say and do, but she didn't want to speak at all.
She would let Quill initiate the conversation.
Sure enough, when her coffee arrived, Quill spoke.
"Our families used to be close, and our elders had the idea of saving each other during a crisis. If something were to happen to Hanover Corporation, the Maxwell Group wouldn't stay idle and vice versa. However, it's my fault for not doing anything when misfortune fell on your family."
Yulia quietly stirred the coffee before her.
"You weren't willing to accept my help before, but I have no choice but to do so now. Yulia, start a business. I will help you until the company is successfully established. I will let you transfer the managers of Hanover Corporation at will until the Maxwell Group is revived. Then my duty will be done, and I wouldn't disappoint Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell."
Quill was right. The elders of their families had vowed to do so, and he had also agreed to help.
However, Yulia still felt upset. She bit her lower lip and raised her head.
"You are just trying to get rid of me, aren't you?"
Her smile looked forced, "I didn't do anything, nor am I planning to. Can't I just stay at the company?"
Quill's face darkened.
"Yulia, we grew up together. I don't want to say something that would hurt you."
"Hurt me?" Yulia chuckled without care, "Then let's hear how awful it is."
Looking at Yulia, Quill thought of how aggrieved Vera was. He suddenly felt that there was no need to be tactful. "I heard we have an engagement?"
Taken aback, Yulia stared at him blankly.
She knew he would ask her this, but she didn't expect him to be so blunt, and her mind went blank for a moment.
"Do we?" Quill asked again.
However, Yulia still did not answer. She bit her lower lip, feeling as if something tore in her heart.
