After hearing Quill's reminder, only then did the senior executives cback to their senses and rush out of the elevator. Just so happened that the elevator door was about to close, and one of them slammed onto the door with a bang. He cried out in pain and retreated, stepping on the feet of the person behind him, leading that person to cry out in pain. Everyone shoved each other out of the elevator. On the other hand, Juliette had already cout of the elevator long ago. She watched as the group of men pushed and shoved, secretly shaking her head helplessly.
Luckily, she got out quick enough. Otherwise, she would have been squeezed into meat chunks.
After everyone exited, Quill held Vera's hand emotionlessly and pulled her into the elevator. Vera was dragged inside; she was so embarrassed that she didn't dare look at the others.
It wasn't until the door closed that she finally dared to breathe.

"Who is that young girl? Is she President Hanover's girlfriend?" "No way? She looks so young, and President Hanover has never wanted to be in a relationship, hasn't he? Why did he suddenly have one so silently?" "If I had known that President Hanover was interested in getting a girlfriend, I wouldn't have allowed others to have the chance. I would have introduced my daughter to him. Alas, who would've thought someone else had already taken him." "You're right. If I had known that President Hanover liked young girls, I'd have introduced him to my daughter, who had just reached the legal age." Everyone looked at that person who was talking with contempt.
"Timothy, how shameless of you. How could you introduce your daughter to President Hanover when she'd just beca legal adult. Have you ever considered your daughter's feelings?" "That's right. Timothy, are you even a father?" "What's wrong with that? She's not underage. How could you all callshameless? Besides, do you all even know what shis? Don't all of you want your daughters to date President Hanover as well? Everyone knows that this man doesn't smoke nor drink, and he's so wealthy. Who wouldn't want their daughter to marry him?" "What a pity... who is that young girl just now? Do any of you know her?" Juliette, who had been listening to them gossip, couldn't listen on anymore; she directly interrupted them. "Guys, if you're all so interested in President Hanover's private life, why don't we take the elevator up and ask President Hanover in person?" They were at a loss for words, "How dare we do that? Secretary Sharpio, you're the closest person to President Hanover. Who is that young girl? Which family does she belong to? Why have we never seen her before?" "Yeah. Secretary Sharpio, how did she get together with President Hanover?" "Tell us about it. What if we have the chance in the future?" Juliette was speechless at once. She narrowed her eyes and scrutinized the men in front of her. "Who would've thought? All of you usually look so decent, yet you're all thinking about such things? You all want your daughters to marry President Hanover, but have you ever thought that the person who just went up would be the future Mrs. Hanover?" Everyone was stunned at once and could not respond in time.
"So what you're all doing now is openly trying to snatch her husband away from her. Are you sure you all want to do this?" Everyone was instantly embarrassed when they heard her words, so they refuted, "Secretary Sharpio, you can't say that. She's just a girlfriend for now. Who knows if she'll becthe president's wife in the future?" "Indeed. She's just a young girl. How can she be our president's wife? Would she know how to deal with the company's affairs?" "That's right." When Juliette heard those words, she becupset, and the smile in her eyes turned colder. She sneered coldly and said, "So you're saying we have to marry someone who can help us in our career?" "Isn't that the case? What's the point of marrying a woman who can't help you in your career? Are we supposed to raise her like a pet? Secretary Sharpio, you're a capable woman. It'd be excellent if President Hanover can marry someone like you." The corners of Juliette's lips twitched, "I'm sorry, but I'm already married, and I want to make it clear to you all that I'm not doing any help to my husband's career. He operates his career, and I'm busy with mine. Both of us work hard to manage the family, and that's the most important thing. Although all of you are praising me, I still want to retort. If you're only marrying just to help your career, then you might as well forget it." Her words made everyone's faces turn unpleasant.
"What? Am I wrong? Why don't I put it in another way instead? If your daughters were to marry one day, but the other party only marries your daughters for their family el tour background and don't treat her well after marrying them. As a father, Would you be happy about it?" Everyone was left with no words.
"Are you all at a loss for words now? See, humans are selfish and have double standards. You all should put yourselves in others' shoes before saying anything next time. I should also remind you all that President Hanover has never fancied any women until now. I'm sure all of you understand what this means, and don't do anything useless." "Secretary Sharpio, you..." "I've said what I had to. I'll take my leave then." Secretary Sharignored them and left with the sound of her heels fading away with her.
After she left, everyone glanced at each other and couldn't help complaining.
"What's wrong with Secretary Sharpie? Why did she suddenly lose her temper? Does this have anything to do with her? We were even praising her just now."
"Alas, it's just so difficult to understand women. My daughter will also lose her temperance she hears something that upsets her a little. I didn't expect that such a strong woman like Secretary Sharpie would act like a little girl at times." "Hey, she's still a woman, after all. You should be understanding."
"But I think what she said just now is quite right. What kind of person is President Hanover? Do you think He lacks women e women going after him? Have they ever succeeded? I think that girl will definitely be the president's wife in the future." Vera and Quill entered the elevator, and they didn't know what had happened outside. The elevator rose quickly and soon arrived at the floor of the president's office.

As the senior managers saw Vera being carried in Quill's arms earlier, her face was still scarlet after m standing firmly by herself. After she followed Quill out of the elevator, she moved as slow as a snail. "Are you walking so slowly because you wantto carry you?" Quill asked. Vera shook her head hard as if she had just realized something as she said firmly, "No need!" Then, she quickly caught up with his footsteps, and they entered the office together.
She did not want to experience the ssituation again. Quill had swork to do, so Vera waited for him in the office.
Hours passed by, and then she left the company with him when he got off work. They went for dinner together, and Quill sent her back home.
The whole day passed like that in the blink of an eye.
