Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Why?! Why would something so awkward and embarrassing happen?! Why did she not put a filter over her mouth? Why? Why?! Vera was filled with awkwardness and humiliation. Perhaps it was due to this overwhelming emotion that she lost her normal sense of composure. She sat upright there, motionless.

"Ahem..." Minerva let out an awkward cough as she sat by her side.

Minerva didn't expect Vera to say such a bold statement after being agitated by her. It didn't matter if there were just the two of them, but...

Who would've thought the office door would open at that moment? Not only had Quill returned, but he also brought a few senior managers with him.

Minerva felt that this was probably the most awkward moment in Vera's life.

Nothing else would beat this! She coughed a few more times awkwardly and smiled. She then stood up and said to Vera, "You are quite ambitious. I have high hopes for you; keep it up. I'll make a move now." After that, she walked to the entrance of the office quickly. She made eye contact with Quill.

Quill could see the ridicule in Minerva's eyes. He felt nothing but helplessness in his heart.

"Quill, I'll cover again tonight. Let's have dinner together." "Sure." No matter how awkward it was, Quill already got over it. He naturally accepted his sister's invitation. After Minerva left, the senior managers who were shocked by Vera's bold statement responded in hindsight. "Seems like President Hanover has something else to deal with. Why don't we discuss this matter sother day?" One of them laughed and suggested.

"Yeah. President Hanover, we'll continue the discussion amongst ourselves first." Hearing all of that, Vera wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it. She bit her lower lip, and she was utterly flushed.

However, at this moment, Quill called to her indifferently, "Vivy." Vera immediately looked at him; the hair on the back of her neck stood.

What was he planning to do, calling her nat a tlike this?! "Go wait forin the lounge. I have something to deal with here, alright?" Quill's tone lifted as he got to the end of his sentence as if he was cajoling her. It sounded exceptionally doting.

She was already very embarrassed. When Minerva was leaving, she wanted to leave with her. However, she realized her legs wouldn't move at all. She froze on the spot just like that.

Vera had scolded Minerva countless times in her heart for being a crappy friend. How dare she flee away at such a time, and leave her alone to face the crowd.

Therefore, since Quill had asked her to go into the lounge, she nodded dazedly and slowly got up. She pretended as if nothing happened as she slowly walked into the lounge.

Only she knew her legs were quivering from nervousness and fear when she walked.

After Vera went into the lounge and closed the door, she slid down slowly with her back against the door. She lost all her strength and felt soft like a marshmallow.

Boohoo...

Vera covered her face. She felt too humiliated to face anyone.

She even felt that teasing Quill that night was far less embarrassing than what she did just now. What she said was different from what she did. She could still at least argue that she was trying to help him that night.

But what about this time? How could she explain herself? Tell him she wasn't the one who said it? There was no way he would believe it! The worst part was, he actually asked her to stay in the lounge while he continued to discuss the company's affairs with the senior managers outside.

How was he able to be so calm in such a situation? He even brought them in to talk business. Did he not feel awkward? In fact, Quill did not feel awkward at all. All he had was his usual work attitude and nothing else.

Rather, the senior managers felt extremely awkward. As they accidentally found out about their boss's love life and heard such a bold statement, they thought they would be having nightmares that night.

They had wanted to leave as soon as Minerva left, but to their surprise, President Hanover asked them to cin to continue their discussion as if nothing had happened.

What on earth? Shouldn't he close the office doors and shoo them away at a tlike this? They really couldn't understand the president.

One minute, two minutes...

Half an hour passed, and Vera was still sitting on the ice-cold floor. She didn't even realize when the voices went away, as she didn't pay attention from the beginning The door behind her was pushed open.

Vera was shocked and jumped up in an instant. She then nervously turned around to see who it was.

Their eyes met.

Vera looked away after a glance. Then she searched for a place to hide. She eventually saw the washroom and wanted to rush in that direction.

However, she was a step too slow.

Because Quill had already reached out and locked her in his arms.

"Why are you running away?"

His voice was slightly hoarse. He hugged her tightly and said, "half an hour has already passed, and you only thought of hiding now? Don't you nought of N think it's a little too late for that?" That's right. Half an hour had already passed, yet she still sat there like a fool. If he hadn't cin, she wouldn't have thought of hiding away. Vera didn't dare to talk to him; she hung her head low, not daring to look at him. She was so ashamed that she didn't dare speak.

She was really embarrassed.

She had never been so embarrassed in her life.

As Vera continued to think about it, she even started to feel upset. How could she be such anembarrassment? Quill would think she was bold and unrestrained, wouldn't he? Would he think... As she was deep in thought, Quill pinched her chin lightly and lifted it, forcing her to look up. With that, Quill happened to catch the sadness in her eyes.

He was stumped for a split second. He squinted and asked, "What's wrong?" Vera's eyes reddened inexplicably at his question, but she quickly bit her lower lip and shook her head firmly.

She was the one who said such a thing. How could she cry at this moment? It would make her look even more pretentious.

"Was it because of what you said?" Quill knew what she was thinking almost immediately. He cupped her cheeks as he looked deep into her eyes and asked, "What is it? Are you afraid that I will look down on you because of what you said? Vera was stunned at this and then stammered, "You... How do you know?" How could he make such an accurate guess? at, Quill

Hearing that, Quill smiled as he said with a gentle voice, "Wouldn't I be a fool if I don't know what my beloved е is thinking? Silly girl, you already said what you said. Besides, I told you before. You're my girlfriend. You can do whatever you want." Like RICH WOMEN? X These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming* these rich women will persue you.
