Minerva put her phone away. After a moment, she smiled and said, "But how did you recognise me?" The girl smiled sweetly in response and said, "Mr. Hanover sent your photo to me. He maderemember it. Miss Minerva, this way please." Ah, so that was how it was, Minerva thought/ As her older brother, he was very considerate and concerned about her. Minerva's heart was surging with warmth. She nodded and allowed the girl to lead her.
After they arrived, Minerva thanked her and went to look for Quill.
She knocked on the office door, and a low voice cfrom inside.
"Cin." Minerva pushed the door open and entered. She saw Quill sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He was holding a cup of coffee in one hand while flipping through sdocuments with the other. What's more, Quill was wearing a pair of goldenframed glasses, which made him look very sophisticated.
Minerva stood there foolishly; Quill sensed that it was a little quiet, so he looked up at her.
"Minerva? What brings you here?" As soon as he saw Minerva, the quiet expression on Quill's face disappeared. He put down the cup in his hand and walked towards her.
Minerva cback to her senses and looked at him walking closer to her. She had so many questions in her mind. She wanted to ask him right away, but she felt that that would be too forward. Therefore, she smiled and said, "I have never been to your company, so I cto visit.1 Although she was smiling, Quill could tell that it was not genuine. After all, Quill was her brother. How could he not understand his younger sister? Therefore, he silently went outside and asked the secretary to bring her drinks. Then he returned to her side to talk.
"Isn't the company busy? Why do you have tto cover?" Minerva did not sit down. Instead, she walked around aimlessly before stopping in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and admired the lights of the glorious city.
It was already dusk, and the sun was setting on the horizon. The whole sky was dyed red by the glow of the sun, an unattainable shade of beauty.

"What have I ever hidden from you, silly?" Quill extended his hand and rubbed Minerva's head as he spoke; his tone was doting.
Why was she suddenly like that? What happened? He questioned internally.
"What happened?" Quill asked when Minerva remained silent.
With her eyes blinking as she finally turned to Quill, Minerva took in a deep breath and asked, "Why didn't you tellthat the marriage between Maddox and I was never dissolved?" The next second, Quill's hand that was rubbing her head froze.
Tseemed to freeze. Quill stared fixedly at her. Minerva stood there quietly as well. However, the sadness in her eyes was so dense that it felt as if it was about to overflow. After a long time, Quill retracted his hand.
"Did you meet up with him?" She did not admit nor deny it.
Minerva felt her heart slowly sink. It seemed that it was actually true.
"So it's true?" She asked.
Quill didn't answer. He looked at her coldly, and then he looked away from her.
"It's not that I did not want to tell you, but I've been trying to find a way to solve it. I just didn't expect that the two of you would meet again." Upon hearing that, Minerva finally understood. It turned out that Quill had always known about that matter. It was just that he had never told her about it.
However, she was the one involved in the matter and she had always thought that the marriage had already been broken off. She thought that she had nothing more to do with Maddox. Quill pursed his lips and stared at her.
"You met him? What did he do to you? If you..." "I'll take care of it myself," Minerva replied in a cold voice.
Quill was speechless.
"I don't need your help in this anymore. I'll take care of everything on my own." "Minerva, are you blaming me?" Quill frowned. "It's not that I don't want to tell you about this matter. It's just that I thought I could handle it on my own, so I never told you about it." "No." Minerva shook her head. "I'm not blaming you. I just feel that... As I'm the person in the marriage, it's necessary that I know the truth. For the past five years, I've always thought that I had absolutely nothing left with him, but now, I'm told that we were never divorced. I'm not mentally prepared for this! How am I supposed to face him in the future?" "I'm sorry." Quill finally understood the predicament she was in. "It's my fault. You..." "It's fine. Now that I know about it, the next thing to do foris to divorce him myself. I just chere today to confirm it. By the way, there was a certain female celebrity who is using your nto gain popularity recently. If you have time, you should respond to it." "What?" "It's getting late. I have to go first." After Minerva left, Quill was still thinking about what she said just now. But soon, his thoughts were replaced by other emotions.
Since Minerva already knew about that, she must have met with Maddox.
On top of that, it would be odd to discuss such a thing as soon as they met. Therefore, it could only mean that they had already met quite stago.
How could he not know anything at all? Suddenly, Quill felt that he hadn't played his part as her brother. Thinking of that, Quill's eyes darkened.
After that, he was in no mood to work anymore. He remained in his seat until it was tto get off from work. Then, he grabbed the suit jacket on the shelf and put it on, then he went downstairs with the car key.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator door, someone cup and said, "Mr. Hanover, there are a lot of paparazzi and reporters outside the company. Be careful when you go out.11 Upon hearing that, Quill stopped walking and asked, "Paparazzi and reporters?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, I've been keeping an eye on them since this morning. However, it seems that there won't do anything too them and they are not too many of crazy, so I ignored them. Do you want..." Quill thought of what Minerva had said to him in the office. There was a certain female star who was making use of his nto gain fame. If he had the time, he should respond to it.
Was Minerva referring to that? "There's no need. Let's just go out directly." After saying that, Quill walked out. He remembered Minerva's words in his heart, so he cout to respond. As soon as Quill appeared, the reporters emerged from their hiding spots and took photos of him non stop.
However, Quill's reputation preceded him. They only dared to take pictures from a distance and did not dare to step forward.
Although they were very curious about the matter, they were more worried about their career.
There were two people in North City that no one dared to provoke. The first one was the cold Maddox, and the second one was the stony Quill.
He was different from Maddox, whose cold face made him look like an angry man. It was as if he would murder anyone who dared to get close. However, Quill was different. He was like an elder. Although he was calm and didn't exude the senergy, his expressionless face was inexplicably solemn. Quill took a few steps, but the reporters were too afraid to follow after him. Nonetheless, the lights kept on flashing.
Therefore, he stopped and waved to them.
Their faces changed, and then they slowly walked towards him.
"What are you taking pictures of?" Quill asked in a cold voice.
"Uh, you..." The person who answered was a female paparazzi.
Quill's expression was calm as he asked, "Why did you take pictures of me?"
The female paparazzi was stunned for a while before she replied, "Mr. Hanover, I don't know if you are m aware, but you're at the center of attention now because you're pursuing after the female star, Yvonne. So, we..." "Yvonne?" Quill narrowed his eyes as if he was racking his head to find out who she was. After a short while, he suddenly asked, "Who is that?" X
