Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1108

After getting into the elevator, Vera's originally calmed heart started to feel uneasy.

Before she came, she had already mentally prepared herself. She told herself not to be nervous because she was just here for delivery to express her apologies and also thank Quill, that was all. Therefore, there was no need to be nervous; she should behave like how she usually did.

Before leaving the elevator, Vera took a few deep breaths.

When she walked out of the elevator, the person who welcomed her was an unfamiliar face. "Hi there, are you Miss Vera Zais?"

Looking at the fresh face in front of her, Vera was stunned for a moment, then she quickly nodded.

"Secretary Sharpio told me to welcome you; please follow me."

Vera, who had no idea what was going on, heard Juliette's name and could only follow behind the girl absent-mindedly. Since she was already in the Hanover Corporation, nothing bad would happen. As the girl guided her, Vera walked in with a bag in her hand. The girl brought her into a room.

"Miss Zais, please wait here. Secretary Sharpie said she would come over in a while."

"Thank you."

After the girl left, Vera looked around and found that the room was spacious. There was a sofa and a coffee table. They had water, coffee, and even a wine cabinet.

This was probably the antechamber of the Hanover Corporation.

The antechamber of a big company sure was different. Back then, Vera was the one who set up the antechamber in Minerva's company; it wasn't as luxurious as the one here in the Hanover Corporation. After sitting for five minutes, Vera heard footsteps coming from the outside.

"Vera."

The person was wearing a sharp suit and high heels; she looked absolutely stunning. Vera stood up and addressed her with a smile, "Secretary Sharpio."

"It is really you. I wasn't sure if it was you through the phone call earlier." Juliette was surprised.

She was Quill's secretary. Although she had never contacted Vera in private, she had been working under Quill for a long time, and since Vera was always around Minerva, the two of them got familiar. "Yes." Vera nodded shyly as she recalled how anxious she sounded over the phone call earlier.

Juliette looked at her from head to toe. Vera was wearing an orange blouse and a pair of skinny jeans while her hair was tied up into a ponytail; she looked fresh and outgoing.

Vera had always had a babyface, and her outfit made her look like a fresh graduate about to start her first job; pure, glorious, and not scheming.

"You're here to see President Hanover, aren't you?"

Juliette was so direct that Vera's pale face turned red, and she nodded in embarrassment.

"I..."

"Unfortunately, he's in a meeting now."

Hearing this, Vera quickly waved her hand and said in a panic, "That's all right, I'll just wait for him here. Shouldn't you be busy too if he's in a meeting?"

Juliette nodded helplessly. "Yes, since I am his secretary, I should be in the meeting taking down notes. I made an excuse to come out here to see you. I'm going to go back to the meeting after this."

After she said this, Vera felt very guilty. "I'm sorry, I didn't think that my arrival would cause you trouble. Secretary Sharpio, you should head back to the meeting first."

Juliette gave her a meaningful look and said, "No trouble at all; it's only a few minutes. Don't worry about it. This is a VIP antechamber; there's a computer and television here. Feel free to entertain yourself with them if you feel bored."

"Okay, thank you!"

After Juliette left, Vera remained in the antechamber.

To her knowledge, this kind of company meeting would need at least one to two hours, and that was only if it was quick. Some meetings would take up to four to five hours or even a day.

She didn't know how long she had to wait, but when she thought about how Quill lost a billion-dollar opportunity for her, Vera figured she didn't mind waiting here for days even.

However, she was worried about the pasta she brought.

It was going to become hard after some time.

It wouldn't be nice to eat by then.

Thinking of this, Vera slumped on the sofa, dejected. At first, she was sitting upright, but soon she got bored and laid down. Then, she took the phone and started playing games on it. Soon, she felt tired and started surfing the net. Her eyes were exhausted, but there was still no one attending to her.

She didn't know when the meeting would end.

Vera glanced at the time and found that only an hour had passed.

She assumed that Quill wouldn't be done with the meeting for at least another hour. Vera looked around and closed the door of the reception room. Then, she took off her shoes and laid down on the sofa. After sleeping for a while, Vera took off her jacket, then laid down and covered herself with it before she closed her eyes again.

In the conference room.

Just after the meeting, the

management level employees left

he

one after the other. Quill got up and started walking toward his office Just as Juliette packed up, she suddenly remembered something. She looked up and realized that Quill was gone. She grabbed h

things

and chased after him.

"President Hanover."

Due to Juliette's voice, Quill couldn't help but slow down a little. "What's the problem?"

"Mr. Hanover, Miss Zais is here to see you."

"Miss Zais? Vera Zais?"

Quill frowned slightly. "She's here? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

His reaction made Juliette squint her eyes curiously. Why did it... seem fishy? Then, Juliette said

mischievously, "Well, President Hanover, you were in a meeting. As your secretary, I don't think I should let anyone disrupt such an important meeting."

Quill was speechless.

Without another word, he strode out. Juliette once again caught up to him. "President Hanover, where are you going?"

Quill didn't answer, but it was obvious that he wasn't going into his office.

"President Hanover, are you looking for Miss Zais?"

"Secretary Sharpio." Quill paused and looked at her with displeasure. "You're done with your work?"

"I do, but before I head back to work, I have to let you know that I had someone bring Miss Zais to the VIP antechamber because you were in a meeting."

Upon hearing this, Quill felt his eyebrows twitch;

he looked at Juliette with a cold gaze.

Perhaps because she had been working for him for a long time, she wasn't nervous at all. Although he was looking at her with a chilling gaze, Juliette wasn't intimidated. Instead, she replied to him with a smile.

"I heard Miss Zais brought food for you, but judging from the time the meeting ended, I have a feeling you won't be able to eat it anymore."

Quill was silent.

"That's all. I'm heading back to work now."

Juliette turned around and left, her high heels click-clacked. Soon, she disappeared from Quill's sight.

Quill stood in place for a long time. He suddenly wondered if he should replace a new secretary.

This secretary had been working with him for so long that she was no longer afraid of him, and he didn't seem threatening at all.

While thinking, Quill walked in the direction of the VIP antechamber.
