Was it too late to like her?
He had never thought that it would be too late.
Time passed by so quickly yet silently. In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed, and he had never uttered even a single word of confession.
He always thought that he would have the chance, but who knew... that she fell head over heels in love with someone else before he was able to tell her how he truly felt.
She didn't even feel nervous or shy anymore when she teased him about it.
Although Sam wasn't an expert in girls, he did know some basics.
He knew that a girl would become shy when they met someone they like, but Vera did not appear this way in front of him.
Now...
The light in his eyes grew dim. He pursed his thin lips and did not speak again. His whole aura suddenly had a great change. She had always thought that he was a pure man, who would blush even when she spoke just a few words to him.
But now... She suddenly felt that he wasn't even a person at all, but a pool of stagnant water.
He wasn't angry, but he felt cold instead.
What was... going on?
She subconsciously bit her lower lip as she felt the sudden change. Was he angry because of what she said previously?
"Hey, what I said just now... Don't take it too seriously. I wasn't trying to make fun of you. It's just something I blurted out when you suddenly leaned in to me. Anyone would have misunderstood when they saw us."
He raised his head and smiled faintly at her.
He said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. Since your fever has gone down, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that he turned around and left the kitchen. Vera noticed something about the way he was acting...
Was he trying to escape?
But that's not right...
What did she do to make him want to leave so badly? It was as if something was chasing after him. She only teased him a little. Did he have to change so much? It wasn't even her fault in the first place because he was the one who made the move first.
She recalled the scene where they were both so close to each other, and suddenly, she felt her heartbeat quicken.
She vigorously shook her head, her body trembling along with it.
Sam was such a nuisance. They were both perfectly fine being friends with each other; why did he have to draw so close to her? Would it be awkward if they met each other again in the future?
However, after mulling over it, she felt that it wasn't a big deal anymore. As long as he wouldn't be awkward when they meet, she'll play along as well.
After Sam came out of the kitchen, he got ready to return to the hotel. Seeing Vera safe and sound, he was finally able to feel relieved after worrying about her for one whole night.
Just as he was about to leave, he met Quill, who had just walked out of his room.
Sam thought of Vera, and could not help but steal a glance at him.
He had the look of superiority; the aura he gave out was not of a normal person. He was tall, handsome and restrained. His eyes looked calm but one could tell that he had been through a lot. He also had the whole Hanover Corporation
behind him.
Both of them were men, but Sam already thought Quill was outstanding in every aspect.
What more to say women?
Therefore, it was not surprising that Vera would fall in love with Quill.
What about him? He was only a small assistant. He had nothing but a scar on his face. How could he, a good-for-nothing, compete with someone as outstanding as Quill?
He didn't even qualify to stand opposite him.
He laughed at himself as he thought about this. He withdrew his gaze then walked out.
