Quill looked at her for a while and suddenly said, "I don't think that I have hurt you."
"Yes! Your words have hurt my heart."
Quill was speechless.
"Give it to me!" Vera boldly reached out to ask for it. Quill didn't know what to say, but seeing the firm look in her eyes, he could only unbutton and take off his blazer helplessly.
Vera took it and put it on. She rubbed her eyes, then turned around and walked out of the door.
"Let Nash see you off."
"There's no need!"
Vera left quickly. Quill stood where he was and thought for a while. What did he say wrong just now?
He just... said what he thought.
At the company.
Minerva made a cup of coffee for herself. After taking a few sips, she looked at the empty seat next to her.
She recalled that she had entrusted Vera to Quill the night before. She didn't expect that Vera would be late to work.
At the thought of this, the corner of Minerva's lips curled up subconsciously.
Bang!
The door of the office was suddenly pushed open. Minerva raised her head. As soon as she saw Vera, the smile on her face disappeared.
After coming into the office, Vera rushed to her seat, and then laid down and buried herself in her arms.
Upon seeing this scene, Minerva grimaced. She set down the cup of coffee in her hand, stood up and walked over to Vera. "What's wrong?"
In fact, she wanted to tease Vera by asking her whether she had enjoyed the night before. However, when Vera came in, she noticed that Vera's eyes were red.
Naturally, Vera did not answer her.
Minerva didn't force her to answer either. She pulled a chair to her side and sat down as she waited patiently.
About five minutes later, Vera raised her head and looked at Minerva with tears in her eyes.
Minerva felt a sharp pain in her heart. She took out a napkin and wiped the tears from her face. "Don't cry. Tell me what's on your mind. If you can't tell me, then I'll give you a day off. Go home and rest."
Vera suddenly turned her head and asked pitifully.
"Minerva, do I look ugly?"
Minerva was taken aback. As her thoughts were still forming in her mind, she shook her head and said, "How could you look ugly?"
"Am I not ugly? Then, is it because I'm not good-looking enough? Or is it because I'm too poor?"
She cried while asking. She looked very miserable.
"In the past, I didn't like Quill, but when he was abroad, he often came to look for you. Since I met him every day, how could I not be tempted? It would be fine if he was taken. However, he is single so I had hopes. But now, I know how ridiculous and delusional my hopes are..."
Minerva went speechless.
She parted her lips and wanted to comfort Vera, but she didn't know how to.
"Minerva, am I really that ignorant? I clearly know that it's impossible, yet I still fell in love with him."
