Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1114

"Don't worry, we just want to find out what she looks like out of curiosity. What bad intentions could we have?"

"Exactly, you're overthinking it. If you're so worried that something bad would happen, then you shouldn't have told us about it and kept it to yourself instead."

Seeing these comments, the receptionist suddenly felt a little regret. Perhaps she should have hidden it from them. If anything bad was to happen the following day, she would be directly involved in it. However, she wanted to see Vera's defeated face and figured to just let it be.

The first few times, Vera would be in the reception room waiting for Quill because he had a lot of work to deal with, but the day before, she fell asleep in the reception room. However, there were other guests who went into the room and ended up seeing her laying on the sofa. The guests and Vera were dumbfounded.

After that incident, Quill told Vera to wait for him in his office directly as he also had a lounge in his office.

It was the first time she had entered his office.

She was lost, and she felt anxious.

She bit her lower lip lightly and took a deep breath to reassure herself before she walked out from the elevator. Then, she ran into Juliette outside the elevator.

Seeing her, Juliette smiled at her as if she was not surprised to see her and she said, "You're here?"

Her tone sounded very casual towards her, but somehow, Vera was flustered when she saw Juliette because she thought that Juliette seemed like a smart woman and she could read her every thought. In front of her, Vera had nowhere for her to hide her thoughts.

Of course, she didn't mind if someone could read her mind, but Juliette used to like Quill, and she liked him for a long time too.

Vera found out about it from Minerva, and back then Juliette wasn't married yet. She had thought that Quill and Juliette would end up together after a while.

At that time, Vera's feelings towards Quill were not that deep, and she figured that she would give up on her feelings if he and Juliette got together.

However, who would have thought that Juliette would give up on him first? She ended up getting married quickly and having kids. Back then, Vera felt that it was a pity that Juliette didn't get to be with the man that she had been in love with for such a long time.

Now, when she saw her again, Vera's opinion had completely changed.

All of a sudden, Vera envied her because she was daring when it came to love, and she was loyal to her feelings towards Quill back then. After she decided to give up on him, she was able to drop all her feelings for him. Then, she managed her marriage well and did a great job in educating her children without being distracted from her work.

Juliette was such a capable woman, therefore Vera felt a little ashamed in front of her.

"Yes." Vera nodded and smiled shyly at her.

Juliette looked at her. Vera was wearing a bluecolored sweater with a knee-length skirt. Her soft, long hair was on her shoulders, and she looked fresh as usual. She even looked an extra dash of adorable that day.

As she smiled at Juliette, Vera's face looked sweet and it made her look very cute and lovable.

These were characteristics that Juliette never had.

So, was this the type of girl that Quill was attracted to? She couldn't deny that he did have good taste, because even as a woman, she found

Vera lovable too and she had the urge to protect her.

"Good news. President Hanover just finished with a meeting and he doesn't have any work planned for the rest of the day, therefore you can have sometime with him."

After hearing what she said, Vera instantly became embarrassed. She was flustered as she explained to Juliette, "No, it's not what you think. I'm just..."

"You're just what?" Juliette looked at her with a smile.

"I'm just here to deliver food."

"Is that so?" Juliette's lips curled up. She walked around Vera in a circle and then stopped next to her. She leaned into her ear and whispered.

"There are so many people who could be delivering food, but why did President Hanover specifically ask for you?"

After saying that, Juliette saw that Vera's ears were turning pink. For some reason, Juliette was encouraged to tease her even more.

"Moreover, President Hanover brought a phone back then and asked me to send it to the phone repair shop to get the screen repaired. I thought the cover on the phone looked cute. It's yours isn't it?" "What?" Vera raised her head in surprise. "It's been sent for repair?"

She had been here for a few days in a row, but she didn't dare to ask Quill where he kept her phone. She figured that if she didn't manage to get her phone back that day, she would just go and get a new one. Anyway, it was just a mobile phone. It was nothing compared to the amount of money Quill lost.

She didn't think that he would send it for repair.

However, the process wouldn't take this long either.

Seeing Vera's face filled with doubt, Juliette almost thought that the phone wasn't hers and said, "Why? The phone isn't yours?"

Vera admitted honestly, "Yes, it should be mine. It's a pink-colored cover. But... Does the repair take this long?"

Juliette said with a sigh, "It's all because of the repair shop. They recently hired a new employee, and he was the one on shift when I sent the phone over the other day. He promised to fix it and gave me a receipt. When I was there the next day to get the phone, the employee told me that he had completely forgotten about it, so the repair ended up delayed for a few days. They have to run tests on the phone after it's repaired too. President

Hanover even lectured me for it."

Speaking of this, she looked at Vera with a meaningful gaze, and her tone became heavier.

"I have worked with President Hanover for a very long time, and I hardly ever get lectured."

Listening to these words, Vera didn't know how to react because she felt that Juliette was complaining to her. If it wasn't for her stupid phone, she wouldn't have been lectured by Quill. However, Vera looked at Juliette's gaze and didn't think that she was the kind of person to say such a thing.

"What? Don't you

understand?"

When Juliette saw how nervous she

was, she couldn't help but reach out

her hand to touch Vera's soft face "I'm trying to say that this is the first time he lectured me for a non-work related matter. I'm not upset about it'm trying to tell you that you are indeed special to him."

Vera's heart skipped a beat.

Special?

"You knew about my matter in the past and we chatted back then when we were abroad. I remembered talking to you for a long time. Now looking back at it, you managed to make it happen." "No, no, no." Vera waved her hand. "This is actually just a misunderstanding. President Hanover has no feelings for me. He rejected me many times and I've already decided to give up on him. The reason I'm delivering food to him is because... I owe it to him."

Ernest told her that Quill had lost a billion-dollar business deal because of her, and all he asked for was for her to deliver him food. It was only reasonable.

Besides, she hadn't managed to pay him back for her medical fees from the other day.

Juliette reminded her about it, and Vera thought that she should quickly return him the money since she still had some savings in her bank account.
