It was Monday. After sending Beanie to school, Quill drove Minerva to the company.
In fact, both of their timings were not exactly the same. Beanie needed to reach school by half past seven, while Minerva was supposed to clock in at eight in the morning. Thus, she would reach office about half an hour earlier.
However, it didn't matter if she reached the office half an hour earlier as she was the boss anyway.
After getting out of the car, Quill stuck his head out of the window. "Your car..."
"By the way, Quill, I forgot to tell you that I was involved in a rear-end collision two days ago, so... I will ask about the status of car repair later. Once it is ready for collection, I will send you a message."
Quill's brows knitted as soon as he heard about it. He studied her for a moment, asking with displeasure, "Two days ago? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't get injured at that time. Moreover, I was the one who collided into another person's car. So, don't worry."
"Is it settled?"
"Hmm," Minerva replied with a sound before nodding.
Quill felt relieved. "Alright then. I'll make a move first."
"Quill, you don't have to pick us up in the afternoon. The car should be fixed by today."
Quill nodded and left without saying anything further.
After he left, Minerva and Vera went in together. The office was particularly quiet with only the cleaners and security guards around.
"Oh, I'm so sleepy early in the morning. I could have slept for half an hour more.” Vera couldn't resist pouting and complaining. Then, she yawned several times.
Minerva instantly felt sleepy when she saw Vera yawning. She couldn't bear to see Vera getting up early as well, so she said, "Let's buy an apartment near the school."
Upon hearing her words, Vera widened her eyes and came over to hold her arm. "Really? But the apartments near the school should be very expensive."
Minerva flashed a smile. "My savings should be enough."
"Will we go broke after buying it?"
Minerva cast a glance at her. "What do you think?"
Vera pouted her lips, replying, "Buy it. It's yours anyway, not mine. I'll live with you after you buy it. It's not a big deal. We'll spend more prudently on meals in future."
"Aren't you a little silly? Do we only know how to spend money instead of earning it? We need to invest money in many areas since we came back to set up our company. We must work hard to reap profits. Otherwise... well probably have to spend a lot of money in future."
Vera was tongue-tied.
The two of them went upstairs together. As they had not started to work yet, Vera hurried to the computer and browsed it.
"Is it a must to find a house near the school? Or near to our company?"
"I'm fine with both." Minerva pondered about it for a moment, then smiled faintly. "No matter if it's in the vicinity of the company or the school, it's pretty close to us."
Vera searched for houses at once. She was quick and efficient as she had been living abroad for many years. They immediately took a liking to a unit in a nearby residential area because they were not particularly picky. Both of them made an appointment to visit the unit when they finished work.
When it was time to work, everyone came to the company one after another. Minerva started to work on the designs as well. She had some inspiration on Janice's design, so she planned to come out with the draft that day and hand it over to Janice for review.
Minerva preferred to work alone when she was working on her design. Thus, she specifically ordered Vera not to look for her unless there was anything important. She would go out only after she was done with it.
The door of the office had been closed all the time. There was a sudden knock on the door.
Minerva's thoughts were interrupted by the sound. She unconsciously furrowed her brows. "Who is it?"
