These words made Vera remain where she was; she stopped moving forward. Then she saw Quill come over to her with a pair of shoes in his hand and bent down in front of her. "Change into them. The slippers are too big; you'll fall easily."

Looking at the light blue slippers in front of her, Vera said thank you and put them on. After putting them on, she was about to bend down to get the slippers left aside, only to replace that Quill's movements were faster than hers.

He picked up his slippers and went downstairs. Vera stood there and looked at the dress she was wearing, then at the color of her slippers. She sighed in her heart.

Although Quill was somewhat a male chauvinist, at least... his aesthetic judgment was not like one.

If he was a total male chauvinist, he would think that all girls liked pink. Then the dress and shoes she wore would all be barbie-pink.

When she followed Quill downstairs, Ko by was already seated in a chair waiting for his meal. When it saw Vera coming down, it tilted its head and meowed at her.

Vera immediately walked toward it and sat down beside it.

There was a lot of food on the table, and the milk was still warm. It was the first time she ate alone with Quill. She was still very nervous, and she sat there, petting Koby's head for a long time.

Ko by meowed. It felt that its head was going to be bald from Vera's petting. It tilted its head and wanted to get away from Vera's evil palm.

"Don't run," Vera whispered and caught Ko by back. Because of her nervousness, she didn't know where to put her hands, so she could only keep petting Koby's head.

"Meow, meow!" Koby protested with some dissatisfaction and struggled slightly.

"Let it go." Quill's voice suddenly came from the opposite side, which scared Vera. She looked at him and subconsciously let go of her hand.

After Koby was free, it instantly fled away from her arms. At first, it wanted to stay here with Quill, who it hadn't seen for a long time, and eat breakfast. But now? In order not to let its head get touched, it had better run away quickly.

Soon, Koby disappeared from the living room.

Vera was a little embarrassed because Koby fled so quickly as if it was afraid of her.

She bit her lower lip lightly and dared not look into

Quill's eyes. It was then he spoke.

"I'll take you home after breakfast."

"Okay..." Vera could only lower her head and eat.

She ate slowly, and when she was about to finish eating, she heard footsteps coming from outside. Vera looked up and found that it was Juliette. Her high heels clicked-clacked on the floor loudly. Vera suddenly blushed when she saw her, and she turned her head away guiltily.

Why was she here? When she saw her and Quill here, would she...

"President Hanover." When Juliette came in, she saw the two people eating breakfast, but she didn't care. She pulled a chair to sit on the other side and spread out the materials.

"Mm."

Quill responded in a cold tone.

"I've gathered all of this overnight, and I spent some time sorting them out. His previous crimes, as well as some of the fraud involved, were quite widespread. Looking at the current situation, he will spend a good few years in jail."

When Vera heard this, she realized what she was talking about had to do with her, so she quietly looked at Juliette.

At first, she thought that when Juliette spoke, she would be focusing on the materials or staring at Quill. She hadn't expected to meet with Juliette's smiling eyes at her when she turned her head. Vera didn't know how to respond for a second.

She was embarrassed and quickly looked away. Even her ears and neck were rosy.

Hey, she was such a shy little girl.

Juliette laughed in her heart, not afraid of Quill's presence. She directly asked Vera, "Why don't you dare to look at me, Miss Zais? This has everything to do with you." Vera didn't respond to her.

Ah! Why did Secretary Sharpio have to do this? She will ignore her!

"Miss Zais? Why are you ignoring me?"

However, Juliette was determined to tease her. When she saw that Vera ignored her, she shamelessly spoke again.

Vera bit her lower lip and lowered her head even lower. She was going to ignore Juliette no matter what. What could she do to her?

"Secretary Sharpio." Quill tapped his finger gently on the table. His expression was cold as he asked, "How is his injury?"

Juliette squinted her eyes and turned to Quill.

"President Hanover, were you trying to save her

from me? I just wanted to say a few words to her. Why are you so anxious to protect her? Perhaps last night..."

"Ah!"

At the mention of what happened

last night, Vera stood up in agitation. She was afraid that Juliette would

Sa hing that embarrassed

her, so she quickly cut her off. en.swhovels.net

"Nothing happened last night! Don't make any wild guesses!"

Juliette was at a loss for words.

And so was Quill.

With such a strong reaction, was it possible that nothing happened?

It was also at this time that Vera realized that her reaction was too intense. She looked at Quill and Juliette with embarrassment, then turned and ran upstairs.

"If you say there's nothing, then there's nothing. What are you running for?" Juliette's voice came from behind, and Vera picked up her pace.

Juliette found the way Vera looked was amusing. She turned back to look at Quill and said, "President Hanover, nothing really happened last night?"

Quill frowned as he stared at the

breakfast Vera had yet to finish. She

was already a slow eater; now, she everdeft before finishing. He had to do something about it.

She couldn't tell what he was thinking from the complicated look in his eyes. Juliette could only push the documents toward him.

"President Hanover?"

Quill finally looked at her. He pursed his lips and looked a little unhappy. After a long while, he finally spoke.

"You are talking too much."

Juliette didn't say anything.

"Send the information to the police station to make a report, also to the company that he works in."

Hearing this, Juliette was slightly surprised. It seemed that Quill didn't want to give this person a way out. Truly ruthless!

Once the company had a record of this person's criminal information, he would not be able to get a job even after he came out of prison... Thinking of this, Juliette felt a little bit sad. She didn't expect Quill to be so partial when protecting someone. It made her a little envious.

"All right, how are you going to deal

with the things at Vera's side? I thought what happened last night would traumatize her, but judging from earlier, she seems to be doing alright."

After speaking, Juliette closed the folder and stood up with a smile.

"If that's the case, then I won't continue to be the third wheel. President Hanover, this is a rare opportunity. This time... don't let it slip away." After saying that, Juliette felt that she seemed to have said too much.

Quill didn't need to be taught. He even brought Vera here. She had been his secretary for so many years, yet she had no clue about this place...
