Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1119

"It's really not necessary. Thank you," Vera rejected her awkwardly, and then bowed her head and stopped talking to her. Obviously, she was shy because of this matter. "You're so shy. I was only asking you about a small matter, and you're blushing this much. How will you pursue President Hanover like this?"

Vera heard her and looked up into Juliette's eyes before she said, "Actually... I wasn't shy at all back then when I pursued him. I should have been shy but..." Perhaps she was fearless in the beginning, and she thought that she could give him all until she was rejected many times by him. Then, she gradually lost hope.

It was normal to be shy, but she was brave back then and she did what her heart wanted to do.

It was nothing like how she was now, constantly worried and afraid, and what she wanted would always be put last.

"But what?"

"It's nothing." Vera shook her head. It was obvious that she felt demotivated all of a sudden. Juliette noticed her head hanging low and patted her on her shoulder. "It's alright. The past is in the past and right now, you're here. The future is unknown and there are many opportunities waiting for you."

Her words of encouragement were strong, and Vera repeated them in her heart continuously. She finally agreed and smiled.

"That's right!"

The young woman in front of Juliette had regained her spirit. "That's right. This is how energetic you should be when you attend the banquet later."

"Thank you, Secretary Sharpio."

Vera's skin was great, and the make-up artist completed her job smoothly. Then, she exclaimed.

"Your skin is great. I've been a makeup artist for many years, and I've only seen a few girls with good skin. It's effortless to put makeup on, and I don't have to waste so much effort on applying a thick layer of powder."

Vera smiled shyly at the makeup artist as she complimented her.

The more the makeup artist looked at Vera, the more she thought that she was adorable. She couldn't help but rub her on her head, but she realized that she had just done her hair, and she'd have to fix it if she messed it up, so she stopped herself.

By the time they left, night had fallen, but the city was not drowned in darkness. Instead, it was lit up by thousands of lights.

"It's great, you look amazing tonight. It's official, you're going to be the center of everyone's attention tonight."

Vera was already nervous, and she gasped as she heard Juliette's words.

"What? The center of attention?"

"That's right." Juliette winked at her through the rearview mirror. "Don't you think you look good in this outfit?"

"It... It is quite beautiful but I know where I stand."

She knew her appearance well. She was nothing compared to those gorgeous women, so why would she be the center of attention? Furthermore, she didn't want to be the center of attention because she would feel uncomfortable if everyone's gazes were on her.

Thinking that it was completely impossible for her to be that beautiful, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Juliette seemed to be teasing her on purpose. As Vera breathed a sigh of relief, Juliette added, "Perhaps you don't know your own potential. Although you don't have amazing facial features, trust me. you have a charming presence. Moreover, you have underestimated President Hanover's presence too. He has been single for so many years and he had rejected so many celebrities, resulting in him not having a chaperon for so many years. When he does, the women whom he had rejected before might come up and try to bite his chaperon's head off."

Bite her head off...

Vera felt chills run down her spine and she instantly sat up straight. She looked at Juliette motionlessly, and she had an image in her mind.

Therefore, the reason that she would be the center of attention tonight was not because of her looks or even her dress. Instead, it would be because she was standing beside Quill.

It would be reasonable, and she would definitely be the center of attention because he had always been it. Furthermore, she would be standing beside him later.

Vera suddenly felt a little regret. Why did she agree to be his chaperon?

However, at the time, she hadn't known what to do. She ran away subconsciously and didn't think about refusing at all.

"Are you scared?" Juliette glanced at her and asked with a smile.

She did not speak.

"What are you afraid of? If you like him, you must have the courage to stand next to him, don't you?"

Hearing this, Vera suddenly raised her head.

"If you don't dare to stand with him, how will you be able to be his woman?"

"But..." Vera bit her lower lip uncertainly. "I don't think I'm great, and I don't think I'm good enough to be with him."

"What does it mean to be good

enough? Family background?

Looks? Personality? To me, it's none

of those. It's about mutual feelings

for each other and overcoming challenges together. Although society may be cruel and we have no choice but to face the reality, but to tell you the truth, I've been married for many years, and back then, when I met my husband, I

knew that I could still believe in true love."

"That's amazing." Vera was sincerely envious.

"You'll have it one day too. Believe in yourself."

It had to be said that Juliette was really a very considerate person.

After arriving at the venue for the banquet, she got out of the car with Vera. She was in high heels, so it

was a little inconvenient for her toet

walk. She remembered the ill-fitting high-heels she wore back then when she tried to see

Quill. She ended up with

her

heels, and it hurt for days.

However, at the time, her heart hurt the most.

"Er... Secretary Sharpio..." Vera hesitantly followed by Juliette's side. "Is this the venue of the banquet?"

"That's right."

Why didn't she see Quill? Did he go in by himself without waiting for her?

Thinking of this, she was disappointed.

"Are you disappointed?" Juliette's voice sounded from her side.

Vera immediately restored her original expression and shook her head. "No."

It was as if nothing had happened.

Although she was a little

disappointed in her heart, she was

still very happy. After all, Quill had invited her to attend a banquet as his chaperon, and it was already the first step to something great.

She just needed to work harder from now on.

"Why don't you take a look at the entrance?"

"The entrance?"

Vera looked around, and then she saw a crowded place covered with red carpet. Countless people passed by there, and they needed to hand in invitation cards to enter.

At this moment, a tall and handsome figure appeared at the entrance, standing in the crowd like a beacon.

Quill!

Vera felt that her heart seemed to have been hit by something, and her pink lips parted. She was so excited that she almost called out his name on the spot.

However, she soon realized that there were many people at the entrance, so she stopped herself.

"Are you still disappointed now? President Hanover came out just to wait for you."
