Minerva didn't say anything and only pursed her lips; they were as red as cherries. She recalled that she had rejected Quill's proposal to go on a blind date.
Could it be that Quill was going to invite her to his hto go on a blind date? However, even if it was really a blind date, he didn't have to take Beanie, did he? Perhaps this time, things would be much more complicated than she had imagined.
Vera piped up, "Didn't Quill tell you why?" Upon hearing this, Minerva shrugged her shoulders. "What do you think?" "Let's go." After that, Minerva turned and left. Vera quickly followed, taking Minerva's hand. "Do you really want to go back? I have a bad feeling. I think it's different this time. How about... I'll go check it out for you? You can go back to eat and rest first." Minerva looked at Vera and said helplessly, "Aren't you a little bit short-sighted? Quill has already taken Beanie, which means that he wants us to go there, and you want to go check it out? The results will be the same.
Let's just go there directly." "Well, Quill won't hurt you anyway." Then, the two of them returned to the Hanover family htogether.
The Hanover family's hhad its own estate and they had to take a long road to arrive there. Usually, it was very quiet, but the road that day was packed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Minerva was driving, Vera was sitting on the passenger seat. The cars behind them were accelerating and passing by them, as if they were in a hurry to reach somewhere, making Vera feel a little bewildered.
"Why are there so many cars today? There usually aren't so many people and they are driving so fast. How rude!" Minerva stared pointedly at her. "I thought you said that you're the most well-informed person around. Why didn't you find out about such a small matter?" Vera felt flabbergasted herself, bickering back with indigence, "I never said that, and even if I want to check, I'm in your car now. How am I going to do that? I told you before to letfind out, but you didn't allowto. Now what? I'm afraid that the traffic will be heavy ahead." Fortunately, although the roads were packed with cars, traffic was still moving and it was not too heavily congested.
The further she drove, the more Minerva frowned. Vera also spoke at this time, "Hey, why do I have the feeling that these cars are headed in the sdirection as us? Are they also going to the Hanover family home?" Upon hearing this, Minerva's frown deepened. She glanced at the familiar cars and did not say anything.
On the other hand, Vera began speculating, "What day is it today? Why are they all coming to the Hanover home? Are there any events?" Events? Minerva's face suddenly blanched a little. She felt that... She guessed what Quill was going to do.
When they arrived, the parking lot was very full, with a lot of cars parked near the entrance. People flocked to the Hanover house, which looked very bustling and busy.
Vera unbuckled her seatbelt and said, "It's really lively here. The Hanover hhas never been this filled with life, has it?" Before Minerva could reply, someone ran up to them and stopped in front of their car.
"It's Nash." Vera lowered the windows and called, "Nash." Nash nodded and smiled at Vera. He then looked at Minerva and said, "Miss Minerva, please givethe car keys. I'll be your valet and help you park it in the back." Minerva was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. "There's no need, Nash. I can do that myself." "Miss Minerva, please do givethe car keys. Mr. Hanover is waiting for you." In the end, Minerva gave in at his persistence, "Got it." She handed the car keys to Nash and got out of the car with Vera. Both of them were in their work attire, so they were not very eyecatching.
After getting out of the car, Vera adjusted the clothes on her body and looked around.
She found that the people who got out of the cars were wearing formal dress attire; they were dressed in all kinds of suits and gowns, and many of them were in pairs. However, most of them were alone, and most of them were men.
"They are all wearing suits. What day is it today?" "Well, we'll go in and find out." The two were led into other passageways by the servants, and soon they avoided the big crowd.
They kept walking further in. Minerva furrowed her brows. "Didn't you say that Quill was waiting for me?" "Yes, Miss Minerva but he said to take you to dress up first." "Dress up?" Minerva and Vera looked at each other and Vera pointed to herself, "What about me?" "You too, Miss Vera." Vera added, "It looks like there really is an event tonight, but can you tell me, what kind of event is it?" The maid smiled warmly. "Both of you will know later." Alright, it was useless to ask.
Minerva and Vera were brought to the dressing room together. When Minerva saw the gift, she couldn't help but frown. Compared to Vera's gown, hers looked more special and more stunning, which felt odd. "Wow." Vera leaned her chin on her shoulder. "Quill is going to introduce you to everyone. It seems that tonight's banquet is prepared for you." Minerva went speechless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing such a grand gown, Minerva looked at the maid by her side and asked with hesitation, "Must I wear it?" The maid nodded her head vigorously. "As per Mr. Hanover's orders, you have to wear it. This dress is specially designed and brought back from abroad." It seemed like she had no choice but to wear it tonight. Minerva nodded and said, "Sure."
After putting on the dress, they began to put on their makeup. In fact, the banquet would only begin one hour later, but everyone who received the invitations from the Hanover family had arrived earlier, out of both excitement and curiosity, hoping for a glimpse of the Hanover family's house. After all, not everyone had the opportunity to visit this place at ordinary times.
In North City, other than Maddox's mansion, this was the place that everyone wanted to set foot in the most.
"Uncle, did Mommy and Auntie Vera come?" "Yes, the maids are assisting them to change." "Oh, can I go to see Mommy?" "Just wait forto introduce your mommy to everyone. If she's free, then that's fine." "Uncle, are you arranging a blind date for my Mommy?"
"I want the people in North City to e know that she's the daughter of the Hanover family. Besides you m mommy's company isn't that popular. If she knows more people, she can expand the company in the future. Do you understand me?" "Oh, then I understand. Not only do you want to help Mommy in blind dates, but you also want to introduce her to company clients." Quill was silent.
"Am I right, Uncle?" "Okay, whatever you say." At the main entrance of the Hanover family's house.
A black car was parked there and the shadow of the person inside was hidden by the dark tinted window.
"Sir, we got the invitations from someone else. This Quill is really cunning. This time, all the invitees are elites in the business circle and mostly single men. His purpose is plain and clear."
It was very dark in the car. Maddox who was in the back seat raised his hand and unfastened two buttons of his shirt revealing his charming Adam's apple and collarbone. The mask on his face shimmered with light and the thin lips under the mask lifted into a mesmerizing smirk. "If he wants to introduce my woman to someone else, he has to get my permission."
