Vera and Juliette seemed to be closer to each other.
Vera looked at her with hesitation. There was a smile on Juliette's face, and she looked like an older sister who understands her.
"Go ahead and ask me what you have in mind."
"Sister... Juliette."
In order to show how polite she was, Vera deliberately called her 'sister' while addressing her. Juliette's eyebrows raised with a hint of a smile. "Yes?"
"Well... You've been Quill's secretary for so many years now. Do you know... why he is always single?" After saying this, Vera lowered her head with some embarrassment and fidgeted.
Juliette knew that Vera had doubts, but she didn't know that she was asking this type of question. After staring at her for a moment, Juliette noticed that Vera's face was blushing, and it was obvious that she was in love.
"Are you in love with President Hanover?"
Vera did not expect her to be so straightforward. She suddenly raised her head and blushed as she looked at Juliette.
"Alright." Juliette took the initiative to interrupt her and said lightly, "I understand what you are trying to say. In fact, for so many years, there have been a lot of people who have fallen in love with President Hanover. However, he only prioritizes his sister. Perhaps it's because his parents passed away early, but he has always been alone. Thus, even after he had Minerva by his side, he still has a strong desire for the love of a family."
"So that's how it is?"
"That's right." Juliette smiled and nodded. "It'll be hard to change when they become accustomed to it. Moreover, President Hanover doesn't have any needs for love, thus he doesn't have the need to get out of his comfort zone. Do you like him? This is like a moth darting into a flame. Let me give you a piece of advice, I think it's best for you to forget about him and move on."
"Forget it?" Vera was a little taken aback. She didn't expect Juliette to be so straightforward. Did this mean that she was advising her to stop falling in love with Quill?
"Yes, feelings simply don't exist for people like him. It will only make you sad for falling in love with such people."
Vera was stunned.
It seemed that she was really telling her to stop falling in love with him.
However, she refused to give up. She always felt that there was hope as long as she kept trying.
"Judging from your expression, you must have been rejected by him?"
"Juliette? How, how do you know?"
"In the past, he rejected me straight up."
Vera was dumbfounded.
"Back then I didn't dare to show my affection for him thus I kept this a secret from him. I knew that it was very difficult for him to come out of his comfort zone, so I secretly dealt with everything by his side. I wanted him to get used to me, so that one day... when I was no longer by his side, he would feel like something was missing. At that time, I succeeded."
Hearing this, Vera couldn't help but widen her eyes, then she gave Juliette a thumbs up and praised her. "Juliette, you are so smart, why didn't I think of this?"
When she saw Vera staring at her in admiration, Juliette didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Did she not understand her?
"What's the point in praising me? He just wouldn't come out of his comfort zone. You see, now I'm married and I've also had my own child, but he is still single. Can you understand where I'm going with this?"
"Then why do you have to stay by his side and be his secretary?"
"This seemed a little cruel now that you mentioned this. Back then, when he told me to forget about him, he asked me if this would make me hold a grudge against him and stop working for him. " When she mentioned this, Juliette's expression became indescribable. "That time, I didn't even think that he would actually ask this kind of question, so what else could I do? If I really quit my job, wouldn't it seem like I was really mad at him because he rejected me? That's why... I didn't quit my job."
"D*mn, Quill is really cunning. I thought that... he was the kind of person who was very cold and indifferent. I did not expect that..."
