His gaze burned a hole in her back.

Vera couldn't stand it anymore. She then just hid and worked in the kitchen.

Mabie felt that she was acting weird, so she made an excuse that she was going to the front to serve the dishes but was stopped by Vera.

"Mom, you are not allowed to go out. You can only stay here with me."

"What's that silly talk? I'm going out to serve the dishes. Move aside."

"No, I won't. You're just using that as an excuse. You must be going out there to look for someone."

Vera knew her mother too well. Anyway, she had decided not to have anything to do with him. It was better not to let Mabie know, let alone to meet him.

That was just to avoid any awkward situations in the future.

"Who said so? Who am I supposed to look for? Don't you see that the restaurant is so busy? I just want to go help."

Vera said with a bitter face, "The kitchen is also very busy. It's the same if you helped here."

No matter what Mabie said, Vera was unwilling to let her go. Until evening, Vera was still nestled in her seat after having dinner.

"Has that man left?"

She asked Sherry carefully.

She shook her head.

"He's still there. Vera, you really don't want to go out and have a look? He has been there all day and hasn't eaten anything yet, or..."

"No way!" Vera immediately interrupted her, "I know what you are thinking, but you can't do that! Understand?"

He simply starved for a day? She didn't eat for the whole day as well when she followed him to the banquet. What did she get in return?

Of course she wasn't going to be stupid. If he wanted to wait and not eat, let him be.

Vera knew that he must have come because of 60,000 dollars.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Vera couldn't stand to stay in the kitchen anymore. She was falling asleep sitting there.

"He hasn't left yet?" She asked.

"Yes," Sherry replied.

Vera was speechless.

Why hadn't he left?

Vera didn't understand. Was it just because of the 60,000 dollars? There was no need for this, right?

"Vivy, what happened? He's waiting outside. I think you'd better go out and talk about it." Mabie was curious, but she was more concerned about Vera.

She saw her daughter crying like that the other night. Vera was avoiding this man now. He was probably the one who made her cry that night.

"Matters have to be solved, don't they? It's pointless to avoid him."

"Mom, I am not avoiding him..."

Vera wasn't avoiding him. She just didn't want to humiliate herself anymore.

"If you're not avoiding him, then go out and clear things out with him. He has been waiting the whole day. It's obvious that he's quite a patient person."

The resistance in Vera's heart was gradually worn down as Mabie persuaded her, and she nodded helplessly.

"I got it, Mom. I'll go out and talk to him later," she replied.

"Just say what you have to say. Don't bottle it up," Mabie said as she tugged at Vera's sleeve. "Did you hear what I said? It's only when you talk things out that you both will feel better." "Got it." Quill came alone, but he didn't expect that he would wait the whole day there. Vera still didn't want to come out to see him.

Furthermore, he was someone who could control his emotions very well, so he had been waiting there the whole time without a foul mood.

Vera was thinking to herself when she exited the kitchen.

She would definitely initiate the first move and take control. She would then make things clear and humiliate herself again!

She would say what she had to say and ask Quill to leave and never look for her again!

He was on a phone call when she came over. "Well, it's about the same. Later..."

He saw her approaching and quickly ended the call.

"You're here?"

He asked calmly when she walked up to him.

Vera was a little surprised. She thought he would be moody since he waited for the whole day. Unexpectedly, his tone was still so calm. Did he not have any feelings? Anyway, what did this have to do with her?

"You're looking for me regarding the 60,000 dollars, right?" She asked directly.

He froze for a moment before pursing his thin lips.

He had already guessed that it was Vera who transferred the 60,000 dollars to him, but that was not the reason why he came here.

"I heard that you lost a huge

business deal when you had gone to

the police station and also you

bought the dress for the other day. I

know howe you a lot of money, but... I will slowly earn the money to pay you back."

Pay him back?

Quill frowned unhappily when he heard this.

He asked, "Ernest told you that?"

Vera didn't want to expose Ernest, so she denied it very quickly.

"No."

She denied it. Quill didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter any further. He merely squinted his eyes and said, "That has nothing to do with you. You don't have to take responsibility." Nothing to do with her? She sneered.

"Well, since you said it has nothing to do with me, then it has nothing to do with me," she thought. "But me wanting to return the money has nothing to do with you either."

Quill looked at her and was uncertain. He slightly narrowed his eyes and asked about what had happened in the past two days. "You've been very busy these two days?"

"Why, do you need me for something?" Vera was still looking at him mockingly. Quill's eyes darkened and had a hint of sharpness. "You didn't come to the company."

She heard this and pretended to be enlightened and said, "It turned out to be because I didn't deliver food to you, President Hanover? You are right. have been very busy these two days. It is not convenient for me to go over. You just saw that the restaurant is so busy that can't go.

After these words, there was a moment of silence between the two of them.

"Are you coming tomorrow?"

He calmly asked after a moment of silence.

She didn't know how to respond.

She blinked her eyes and looked at the handsome Quill. His face was partially in the shadows, making him look unreal.

"No, I won't go," she said.

He nodded, then asked, "What about the day after tomorrow?"

Vera was speechless.

Did he really not understand, or was he just playing dumb?

She bit her lower lip. She felt that Quill came to mock her deliberately, didn't he? That was why he asked her such a question. Did he think that, as usual, as long as he needed her, she would rush over?

No way!

As she thought of this, she gritted her teeth and said, "I won't go either."

He asked again, "When will you come over?"

She finally understood after hearing this. It was not that he didn't understand, but he was really pretending to be stupid. She couldn't

help but raise the corner of her mouth and showed a mocking smile

to him.

"I won't be going there anymore."

She was so firm with her words. Her eyes that were usually full of vitality and smiles, were now filled with determination.

"I won't go to your company to look for you anymore, and you shouldn't come looking for me either."

Quill, who remained indifferent all this while, frowned.
