Vera agreed with Minerva.
In the past few years that she had been working with Minerva, she had witnessed first hand how good Quill had been to Minerva. She was quite envious, but she didn't want to be Quill's sister. She didn't like Quill very much at first, but later...
As she thought of this, Vera suddenly came back to her senses.
"You're right. Perhaps, he really doesn't understand love. It's also possible that he doesn't develop feelings at all." Vera rested her chin on her hands and continued in distress, "Perhaps he's just born heartless. I think it's impossible for me to win him over."
"You shouldn't give up so early. Actually, I think that this is a good thing." Minerva held Vera's hand and laughed softly, saying, "There are no other women going after him. You'll have all the opportunities to go after him, right?"
"All mine?" Vera's face was blank and she did not understand Minerva's words. "What do you mean by that?"
Looking at the confused look on her face, Minerva couldn't help but reach out to poke her chin and reminded her in a soft voice.
"You're always around him. Why don't you tell me what the opportunities are for you?"
Vera paused. When she finally understood what Minerva was talking about, she smiled again.
"You're right. I'm with Beanie every day. That means that I get to be with Quill almost on a daily basis... Minerva, thank you for reminding me of this. Okay, I have decided. Even if Quill is a heartless person, I will definitely make him mine!"
After that, Vera narrowed her eyes and came up with a good idea. She grabbed Minerva and said, "Do you think I should drug him first, or should I just force myself on him?"
Minerva fell speechless.
The corners of her mouth twitched and she couldn't even say a word.
"Well, I don't think I can force myself on him. Perhaps it's better if I drug him first!" Vera was excited when she was talking about this. Minerva just let her be because she knew that Vera would never dare to do that.
However, it was possible that she would really go crazy and actually drug Quill.
"By the way." The expression on Vera's face suddenly became serious. "How are your relationship problems going?"
Minerva didn't want to talk about this, so she tried to beat around the bush.
"There's nothing much to deal with."
Vera could sense that Minerva was avoiding this topic, so she didn't press on.
The morning passed by quickly. At noon, both of them were about to go to the canteen for lunch when a phone call came in.
Minerva glanced at the caller ID and had a feeling that it was someone she knew.
"Hello?"
"Miss Hanover, this is Sam Sorrento."
"Sam?" Minerva paused for a moment. Why would Sam call her?
"Mr. Yardley has asked me to bring you food. I am downstairs now. Is it convenient for you to come and collect it?"
The office was quiet. Vera could hear the conversation between Sam and Minerva. She widened her eyes and asked, "Why can't you bring the food up here? Why does she have to go down to get it?"
"The receptionist would not allow me to come up." Sam stood at the entrance and gazed at the receptionist helplessly.
