Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) -
Chapter 1118
At this point, she didn't have to finish her sentence forthem to understand it.
All of them didn't expect Vera to be so sharp-tongued. She had them speechless with a few sentences.
After a long while, the taller girl said angrily, "Don't assume that you can be President Hanover's woman just by sending him food. One day when he's tired of your food, you will be a nobody." "The reason I'm sending him delivery is because I owe him a favor and it's not any of your business. Whether he gets tired of the food or not, it will be my problem to worry about, not yours." "I'll be leaving."
After that, Vera went straight to the elevator.
After she left, the others gathered furiously.
The receptionist said carefully, "Why don't you all go back to your office?"
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you say she looked average? And why is she so sharp tongued?"
"I didn't say that she looked average, I just said that I can't remember what she looked like," the receptionist replied.
"If you can't remember what she looked like, she could only be average right?"
"No, I'm just bad at recognizing faces."
She lied about it and told them she was bad at recognizing faces since they couldn't argue with that, and she didn't say anything specific about Vera before this.
"Let it go. We'll let her stay happy for a few days. Since she's so proud, let's check out her restaurant. Let's replace out where it is and when President Hanover is tired of her, we'll pay her restaurant a visit."
Vera sent pasta to Quill as usual. Initially, she had mixed feelings coming here due to leaving unannounced the day before, but after what happened at the front desk, she realized that she was no longer afraid. Perhaps it was because she was angered by the other girls, so her face was burning and her gaze was filled with rage.
He instantly realized something was wrong with her.
"What's wrong?"
He asked as he stood up.
Hearing this, she was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. "No, it's nothing." "Then why is your face so red?"
She reached out and touched her cheek. It was indeed a little hot. Her body tended to react this way when she got emotional. She rubbed her face and said, "It's probably just too hot."
He glanced out of the window. The sun was indeed a little too bright that day, so he did not pursue the matter any further.
"Did you like the dress?"
He took the initiative and mentioned the dress from the day before. Her face flushed red again. She was dumbstruck before this, but now she only nodded her head shyly and replied, "Yes... I like it." Due to her nerves, she started stuttering again.
"You don't have to send food over here tomorrow. The banquet is at night and I asked Juliette to pick you up in the afternoon."
Vera nodded obediently. "Oh, okay."
She kept looking at her toes as she spoke, like a shy animal, and the tips of her ears were pink.
"Well, if you don't have anything else to say, I'll go first."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." She raised her head and secretly looked at him. She waved at him and then
trotted away.
Time passed quickly. When Juliette came to pick Vera up, she stopped right in front of her building. Vera hopped into the car with a bag in her hand.
When Juliette saw that Vera was still in her street clothes, her eyebrows lifted, and she asked, "Why aren't you wearing the dress?"
Vera coughed awkwardly and explained, "There are too many neighbors around, and if I was to wear the dress straight out from the house, they would all be looking."
"What are you afraid of? What's wrong with them looking when you look great?"
She didn't know how to explain it to Juliette, so Vera didn't say anything else.
"Well, I understand. You're a young girl, and it's normal to feel shy. I'll bring you to do your makeup first, and then you can change into the dress later." "Secretary Sharpie, thank you."
Juliette continued driving. As the traffic light turned red, she said to Vera.
"In fact, President Hanover has never invited a woman to attend a banquet with him all these years."
"Hmm?" Vera was stunned for a moment as she looked at her.
Why did she say that all of a sudden?
"Other than me, but of course, President Hanover has never seen me as a woman as I'm only an employee and a secretary to him."
"President Hanover's identity is very
special and everyone who attends the banquet knows who he is. There were many female celebrities who invited him to attend banquets with them, but he rejected them all. you know why? It's because once he has a woman by his side, many people would start guessing who the woman was and she would also benefit from being his chaperon for the night. President Hanover has never let it happen before."
Vera blinked her eyes as she thought that what had been happening for the past few days seemed unreal.
First, it was Ernest, and now, Juliette. They were both telling her strange things. Although she knew what they were trying to say, she didn't dare to assume the truth.
If it was all true, what would the reason be? He treated her differently back then.
She was terrified about being wrong about the situation. She was afraid that she was overthinking it again, and it was all one sided.
However, since she saw a glimmer of hope, she decided to seize the opportunity this time.
Thinking of this, a smile slowly appeared at the corner of Vera's mouth. "Thank you for telling me these things so I could know more about him."
If it wasn't for her, she might not have known about these things.
Juliette looked at her with a smile.
"I'm not telling you this because I want you to understand him."
Vera was speechless.
"I'm just giving you a bit of a heads up."
"Heads up?" Vera asked.
"Why are you so ignorant? I already told you before this that you are special to him. This time, it's even more obvious. I'm telling you that you may be the person who will be with President Hanover till the end."
After speaking up to this point,
Juliette turned around and gave Vera a rather meaningful look. "Keep it up. I tried really hard in the past and he had never looked at me at all apart from work. It's different for you now, and if you don't manage to get him in the end, I'm going to took down on you." Vera had thought that Juliette would be against her, but she didn't expect her to be so generous about it.
Sure enough, she was an open-minded and generous woman. Vera replied with a smile. "I will try my best!"
Once she arrived at the makeup studio, Vera was going to change into the dress before doing her make-up. After putting on the dress, the makeup artist looked at the front of her dress and asked, "Do you want to add more padding?
"Huh?" Vera did not respond for a moment. "What do you mean by more padding?"
Juliette had an evil smile on her face as she stood at the side. "It's for you to look more... feminine!"
The makeup artist was staring at her...
Vera suddenly reacted. She blushed and reached out to hug herself. She said awkwardly, "No, there's no need."
She was already thin, and she had lost some weight recently for being moody. Therefore, certain parts of her became smaller too, but it had never bothered her. She didn't expect to be judged after putting on her dress.
When she sat down for her makeup to be done, the makeup artist asked her.
"Honey, do you really not need extra padding? If you put it on, your figure is going to look even better."
