When Lolita saw her like this, she suddenly thought of something as well and blushed. She carefully asked, "Don't tell me..."
However, before she could finish her sentence, Minerva interrupted her with a few coughs.
"I'm just warm. What are you thinking about?"
Minerva denied it calmly, yet her ears turned red. She picked up her fork and instructed, "Hurry up and eat. Don't think about those unpleasant things."
Lolita smiled at her and nodded.
After a while, she suddenly raised her head and stated, "We've known each other for so long, but I still don't have your Facebook Messenger. Why don't we add each other?"
Minerva thought about the fact that she was a girl, alone in a distant country, so she nodded and shared her Facebook Messenger.
Her phone vibrated, Minerva took it out and glanced at it. It was a text message sent to her by Juliette, saying that she was free at that moment and Minerva could contact her.
Minerva carefully calculated the time. Juliette must have just woken up, hence she started eating much faster. Lolita was a little surprised. "Why did you suddenly start eating so fast all of a sudden? Do you have something to do?"
"Yeah." Minerva stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice into her mouth and then drank a few spoonfuls of soup.
"Slow down, be careful not to choke." Lolita felt worried when she saw Minerva gobbling up food like that.
Under normal circumstances, Minerva would definitely not allow herself to behave in such a way. However, the matter that she was going to tell Juliette was very important. She didn't know how long the two of them would talk. Moreover, she couldn't take up too much of her time.
Minerva swallowed the soup, then patted her chest and informed Lolita, "I've finished eating and I'll be leaving first as there are some matters I have to attend to. Take your time."
She packed up the plates and left. Then she took the elevator and headed downstairs to make a phone call.
It was actually not a wise choice to call Juliette at the company.
There were many ears and eyes here. It wouldn't be good if someone else heard about it.
Hence, Minerva found a nearby cafe that looked especially quiet and ordered a cup of coffee. She then put on her earphones and called Juliette.
"Miss Minerva, it should be pass noon at your side, right? Is it convenient for you to call me?"
"It's fine." Minerva looked around and then continued softly, "It's not time to go to work yet."
"That's good. Miss Minerva, do you have any questions?"
"Yeah." Minerva shook off all of her doubts and said in a serious tone, "At first, I had a vague suspicion, but... I didn't think too much about it. I thought it shouldn't be possible, but now I feel that things are much more complicated than we imagined."
After she finished speaking, Juliette, who was on the other end of the phone, remained silent for a long time. Only after a long time did she agree, saying, "What you said is reasonable. In reality, when we went out to look for Young Master Yardley, I was also thinking about this problem, because we had never received any news regarding him. If it wasn't for us meeting him coincidentally, we might still not have known about his whereabouts."
Upon hearing this, Minerva's frown deepened.
After hearing what Juliette said, she felt that she was even more worried. What should she do?
"But, you're close to Young Master Yardley now, aren't you? Besides, you've already had intimate contact with each other. Why don't you get an excuse to take him to the hospital to check out?"
Minerva closed her eyes. "I'm still worried that something might happen. Secretary Sharpio, I hope... you can contact someone for me."
"Who is it?"
"Maddox's aunt, Abigail Stark."
"Madam Stark? Abigail Stark, who is in San Novia?"
"That's right."
They had actually invited Abigail to attend the wedding at the beginning. However, when she heard that they were holding their wedding abroad, she immediately refused. She was still very young, but she gave a reason saying that she was in poor health and couldn't stand a long journey.
