Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1130

Quill was puzzled.

After an hour, there was still no sign of the person he was waiting for.

He frowned slightly. It seemed that what he did the previous night really scared her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't suddenly disappear as it was all fine before this.

When she said that she wouldn't want to have anything to do with him, was she serious?

He was deep in thought and it was hard to read his emotions. After a while, he called Juliette and asked her to resume the meeting.

The meeting originally scheduled for that day was postponed to the next day, and then it was brought back. Juliette felt a little tired. However, as a very competent secretary, she didn't dare to say no, nor did she dare to complain. She nodded her head and went on to make the arrangements.

Half an hour later, the meeting began.

Quill glanced at Juliette before entering the meeting room.

He asked, "Did you receive any news today?"

This sudden question startled her. She then realized that Vera, who should have been at the office, had not come.

"No, I didn't."

She was thinking hard while shaking her head.

Lately, Vera came everyday, and at a certain time. Not only Quill himself but even Juliette was used to it. Thus, when he said that he would cancel the meeting, she thought that he purposely did it for Vera. She didn't expect that Vera didn't come that day.

That left Quill waiting in the office alone.

Never mind that he waited. He then called for the meeting to be held again.

He even asked if she had heard any news.

Obviously, he was asking about Vera.

Juliette asked, "Do you need me to call and ask for you?"

"There's no need," he replied.

He rejected her suggestion and walked into the meeting room indifferently. Looking at what just happened, she was speechless.

In the meeting, everyone could clearly feel that Quill was depressed. As they were talking to him, they were extremely careful as they feared that a slight mistake would cause him to lose his temper. Juliette, who was standing aside, observed everything that happened.

She realized that although Quill was very depressed, he controlled his emotions and temper very well from beginning till the very end. He also listened to others seriously and occasionally made suggestions. She sighed silently. This man was really too good at hiding his thoughts, and he was also too good at restraining himself.

She didn't know when he would have an outburst.

After the meeting, he went straight back to the office. She thought about it and went downstairs to the front desk to replace out.

When the receptionist was being asked this question, she avoided eye contact probably because she felt guilty.

Because of what happened two days prior, she had been worried for a long time. She was afraid that she would be asking for trouble. That was why when the group of people said that they would replace time to make trouble for Vera in the restaurant during the holiday that week, she tried to persuade them not to do that.

They didn't listen. They called her a coward. The receptionist said to them that they could go as they wished but she wasn't going.

Juliette suddenly came asking her, and at the same time, Vera did not show up. The receptionist suddenly felt that something was not right.

Secretary Sharpio personally came down to ask about her just because she hadn't come for a day. It was obvious just how important this

woman was. If she was just an inet

ordinary woman, why would Secretary Sharpio personally ask about it?

"I, I'm not too sure... Normally she would come, but not today..."

Juliette was a shrewd person. She guessed something wasn't right when she saw that the receptionist was hesitating and evasive when she spoke. She then narrowed her eyes and stared at the receptionist. "What's wrong with you?"

When the receptionist heard Juliette's question, her expression changed.

"Nothing," she replied.

"Nothing? then why are you so nervous?" Juliette asked again.

The receptionist was so scared that she bit her lower lip and said, "I, I... I usually see her come here, but she didn't come here today, so I am just a little worried."

"Impossible." Juliette immediately rejected her statement. "If you were just worried, then your eyes wouldn't be darting, to the extent that you wouldn't even dare to look at me. Do you know what is written on your face right now?"

The receptionist subconsciously reached out and touched her face. Confused, she asked, "What is that?"

Why would she replace any words on her face?

How was this possible?

"The word 'guilty'," Juliette smiled.

"That's impossible." The receptionist shook her head. "Why would there be words on my face?"

Juliette was speechless.

Was this front desk receptionist a

little slow? Did she think she was saying that there were actually words written on her face? She

coughed lightly. "I feel like I have to explain things to you. The 'guilty word that I said is referring to your expression and your vague way of speaking. You must be hiding something. Tell me, what happened? Do you know something?"

The receptionist shook her head, determinedly saying no.

"Alright, it's fine if you wouldn't tell me now. Wait until I replace out..."

The receptionist immediately said, "I didn't do anything. They said they wanted to see what the person who delivers food to President Hanover everyday looked like. They all came over. I had no choice, so I..." Juliette didn't expect her to confess so quickly. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"So you guys bullied her? You scared her so much that she didn't come today?" Juliette asked.

"No, no!" The receptionist denied immediately and explained for herself, "This happened two days ago, and Vera still came later. As for why she didn't come today, I really don't know..."

Did it happen two days ago?

Juliette thought for a moment. If it happened two days ago, then it shouldn't be a big deal. Moreover, Vera didn't say anything about it when meeting her. It seemed like it wasn't a big deal. However... She still squinted her eyes, staring at the receptionist in danger.

"Even if it doesn't matter, it's true that you all gathered together to bully her, isn't it?"

The receptionist bit her lower lip with

a face of grievances. "I didn't. It

wasn't me. I really didn't say

anything that day. It was them who bantered with Vera for a bit.

Secretary Sharpie, everyone likes President Hanover very much. We're upset because we suddenly see a

woman freely enter and exit his office. Secretary Sharpio, please don't be angry with us, okay? We just

said a few words to her, and we

didn't bully her."

Juliette believed what the receptionist said as she seemed sincere.

Recently, Vera always went to the company. Indeed, many people would be jealous.

"She's just here to deliver food. If no one has ever gossiped about it, there won't be many people who know about it. You're here to work, not to gossip. It's useless to pretend to be innocent when something happens."

As she spoke, Juliette's gaze became sharp, and her tone became a bit cold.

"Hanover Corporation needs capable people. If something like this happens again, then... you should go to the HR department and resign."
