After all, she had been investigating Kimberly's background recently. It felt different to meet Kimberly in real life.
"No. I'm good." Juliette smiled slightly and replied, "It's President Hanover." Juliette couldn't figure out what Quill thought about Kimberly. Although he had asked her to investigate Kimberly, he didn't say what his purpose was. He seemed to be very concerned about Kimberly, but he obviously wasn't interested in a romantic way.

Juliette thought about how unreasonable the situation was.

"President Hanover?" Kimberly was a little surprised and asked, "Is he here?" Juliette replied, "Yes, he is not feeling very well. He cto get a body check. I'm helping him collect the medicine." "Oh." Kimberly then thought of something and said, "He works too hard. He should take care of himself." Juliette smiled slightly and said, "He will be very happy if he were to hear that from you." "What?" Kimberly was stunned. She thought that she had misheard her.

Right after Juliette explained herself, she could feel Quill's gaze on her. It was like he was scolding her for making a decision for him. Juliette bowed slightly and did not dare to speak.
Kimberly also felt the pressure. She looked at Juliette awkwardly and said in a low voice, "I just cto greet you. I still have something to attend to nearby. You don't have to givea ride. Thank you. I'I leave first." "Get in." Just then, Kimberly suddenly heard Quill's voice, inviting her into his car. She halted and looked at him in surprise. She didn't know what he was planning.
He looked stern a moment ago, but he was inviting her into his car now. She had just given the excuse because she didn't want him to blJuliette.
Juliette could read Quill's mind. She urged Kimberly with a faint smile, "Hurry up and get in the car, Miss Shell." Juliette opened the car door for Kimberly. It took Kimberly a long tto react. Just as she was about to wave her hand and refuse, she heard Quill said, "Hurry up." Juliette knew that Quill was getting angry, so she didn't dare to delay any longer and pushed Kimberly into the car.
Kimberly didn't know what to say.
The door closed with a bang.
"Drive," ordered Quill.

She found his gaze to be very stern. It was like a gaze from an older brother, giving her a sense of irritation.

Juliette who was witnessing the scene at the side was surprised. Quill had never cared for other people.
It had always been the other way round. It seemed that Kimberly was indeed an important person.
"Where are you going?" Quill suddenly asked. Kimberly was in a daze, but she immediately reacted when she heard him.

President Hanover took a day off today as well." Kimberly could only reply, "Well, please sendto the shopping mall at Auburn Street. I need to attend to something over there."
