Vera and Juliette seemed to be closer to each other.
Vera looked at her with hesitation. There was a smile on Juliette's face, and she looked like an older sister who understands her.
"Go ahead and askwhat you have in mind." "Sister... Juliette." In order to show how polite she was, Vera deliberately called her 'sister' while addressing her. Juliette's eyebrows raised with a hint of a smile. "Yes?" "Well... You've been Quill's secretary for so many years now. Do you know... why he is always single?" After saying this, Vera lowered her head with sembarrassment and fidgeted.
Juliette knew that Vera had doubts, but she didn't know that she was asking this type of question. After staring at her for a moment, Juliette noticed that Vera's face was blushing, and it was obvious that she was in love.
"Are you in love with President Hanover?" Vera did not expect her to be so straightforward. She suddenly raised her head and blushed as she looked at Juliette.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Alright." Juliette took the initiative to interrupt her and said lightly, "I understand what you are trying to say. In fact, for so many years, there have been a lot of people who have fallen in love with President Hanover. However, he only prioritizes his sister. Perhaps it's because his parents passed away early, but he has always been alone. Thus, even after he had Minerva by his side, he still has a strong desire for the love of a family." "So that's how it is?" "That's right." Juliette smiled and nodded. "It'll be hard to change when they becaccustomed to it. Moreover, President Hanover doesn't have any needs for love, thus he doesn't have the need to get out of his comfort zone. Do you like him? This is like a moth darting into a flame. Letgive you a piece of advice, I think it's best for you to forget about him and move on." "Forget it?" Vera was a little taken aback. She didn't expect Juliette to be so straightforward. Did this mean that she was advising her to stop falling in love with Quill? "Yes, feelings simply don't exist for people like him. It will only make you sad for falling in love with such people." Vera was stunned.
It seemed that she was really telling her to stop falling in love with him.
However, she refused to give up. She always felt that there was hope as long as she kept trying.
"Judging from your expression, you must have been rejected by him?" "Juliette? How, how do you know?" "In the past, he rejectedstraight up." Vera was dumbfounded.
"Back then I didn't dare to show my affection for him thus I kept this a secret from him. I knew that it was very difficult for him to cout of his comfort zone, so I secretly dealt with everything by his side. I wanted him to get used to me, so that one day... when I was no longer by his side, he would feel like something was missing. At that time, I succeeded." Hearing this, Vera couldn't help but widen her eyes, then she gave Juliette a thumbs up and praised her. "Juliette, you are so smart, why didn't I think of this?" When she saw Vera staring at her in admiration, Juliette didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Did she not understand her? "What's the point in praising me? He just wouldn't cout of his comfort zone. You see, now I'm married and I've also had my own child, but he is still single. Can you understand where I'm going with this?" "Then why do you have to stay by his side and be his secretary?" "This seemed a little cruel now that you mentioned this. Back then, when he toldto forget about him, he askedif this would makehold a grudge against him and stop working for him. "When she mentioned this, Juliette's expression becindescribable. "That time, I didn't even think that he would actually ask this kind of question, so what else could I do? If I really quit my job, wouldn't it seem like I was really mad at him because he rejected me? That's why... I didn't quit my job." "D*mn, Quill is really cunning. I thought that... he was the kind of person who was very cold and indifferent. I did not expect that..." Juliette stood up and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "In short, think it through. I still have things to do, so I can't chat with you anymore." After she left, Vera sat on the chair, holding her chin and thinking for a long time.
Day after day passed. Minerva stayed alone in the ward to recuperate. She ate and drank like usual but she refused to let anyone in to visit her.
Beanie complained many times and wanted to look for his mommy, but each time, she still didn't agree to bring him here.
Quill had cto persuade her several times, but in the end, he was told to leave the ward. Quill, the president of the Hanover Corporation, cout of the ward looking gloomy, and he shook his head helplessly.
The phone suddenly rang. Quill glanced at the caller ID and picked it up.
"What's the matter?" His tone was calm; he reached out his hand to pinch his temple. Recently, he had a handful of things he had to be worried about.
This was the first tthat he had felt this way.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Mr. Hanover, we have news!" Quill was taken aback. Soon, he frowned.
"You mean?" "We've found him!!!"
Quill almost stopped breathing. He picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. He was afraid that it was just someone calling the wrong number. Otherwise... How could they find him so quickly? After making sure that the phone number was correct, he coughed slightly and asked, "What have you found?" The other end was stunned by his question. "Wasn't it you who told us to look for someone? Did... Did we get the wrong person?" "No."
Quill shut his eyes and took the opportunity to take a few deep breaths to calm himself down. After a few breaths, we finally calmed down. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were bright and calm. He licked his thin lips and then said coldly, "Have you found him?" "Yes, Mr. Hanover." "Tellthe address. I'll cover now."
Quill spoke as he began to take out digngk the car keys from his pocket. This was his subconscious kicking im Little did he know that he went here by taxi after arriving at the airport. Therefore, he paused for a moment and said, "Forget it, just send the location to my phone and I'll cto your address." "Okay, Mr. Hanover. I'll send you the location right away." "Alright." After hanging up the phone, Quill put the phone away and headed straight out of the hospital.
He didn't notice that he was in a hurry. He just thought that if those people really found Maddox, then... his sister Minerva wouldn't have to suffer anymore.
X "Quill!" He paused, looked back, and saw Vera running quickly toward him and then she stopped in front of him.
"I just heard you say that he's found? Is Mr. Yardley found? Can I go with you?"
