Seeing that Minerva was about to leave, Vera suddenly panicked and subconsciously went forward to grab her.
"Don't leave!"
"What's wrong?" Minerva looked at her in amusement. "Didn't you say that you're still afraid of him? I was just thinking of finding my friend to accompany Quill if you don't want to go. That friend of mine happens to be a girl. Who knows if she'll fall in love with him at first sight?" She continued saying.
Upon hearing that, Vera replied while showing an upset look, "Bad Minerva, you know that my chance is already slim. I will have no hope if there is a new love rival!"
"So, are you going or not?" Minerva asked.
"Yes!"
Vera nodded heavily and gritted her teeth hard. "Of course I'll go!"
She had to go, even if she was afraid of him. Minerva was right. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.
There will be only the two of them!
Vera was excited thinking about that. There must be something wrong with her brain at the last moment and that was why she didn't dare to go. When she thought about it at that moment, she felt like she would never regret it, even if Quill would blame her later.
"But you have to wait for me. I can't go now. I have to put on makeup and change my clothes," she said.
She was very casual at that time as her Prince Charming was initially not there. However, it was only then that she realized that she was just wearing ordinary clothes at that moment. Besides, they were randomly matched.
After taking a glimpse of Vera, Minerva replied, "Okay, then hurry up. If you keep Quill waiting and he insists on going out on his own later, I can't do anything."
"Sure!"
Vera quickly opened her suitcase and changed her clothes.
Minerva was waiting for her outside. Vera came out of the room about ten minutes later. Minerva's eyes widened when she saw her.
"Are you kidding me?" She asked.
Vera pursed her lips and said, "I don't have goodlooking clothes, so..."
Minerva was speechless listening to her. She then asked, "Do you know how cold it is here? Do you want to freeze to death wearing this?"
She couldn't help criticizing her. Vera then argued for herself, "Of course I know it will be cold, but you should know that staying alone with Quill is definitely a rare chance. I have to show your brother my attractiveness now. If I dress like a snowball, Quill will be even less interested in me."
Minerva then asked, "Have you really made up your mind? You might catch a cold, or even have a fever."
Speaking of that, she frowned and said, "No, I can't let you go out wearing so little. Wait here for me, I'll get you a coat."
"No!" Vera stopped her. "Please, Minerva, let me go out wearing this. I'm with my warmer pad now and I won't feel cold," she said.
Minerva remained silent at that moment.
In the end, she did not stop her from wearing what she wanted.
However, after Vera left, she walked into the room. She looked at her messy luggage in a daze.
"That's how it feels to have a crush on someone... huh?" Minerva pondered on that.
Seeing Vera almost lose herself because of a man, Minerva could not help nursing a grievance
for her.
After that, she let out a heavy sigh.
If possible, she really hoped that Vera did not fall in love with Quill.
Vera could fall in love with anyone, but why did she have to have a crush on him?
Previously, Secretary Sharpio had liked Quill for such a long time. She hoped that he would fall in love with her one day as time passed. That was why she had been always staying by his side. However, in the end, she could not endure anymore as her family kept urging her.
However, it was Vera's turn at that moment.
How long would she have to endure? She couldn't possibly be like Juliette until she couldn't endure it anymore, could she?
