Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1168

In short, Vera was in a mess.

She still couldn't come to her senses after being kissed for a long while.

Since Quill's meeting ended in the afternoon, and there were no other plans in his schedule, he held Vera patiently for a long time.

When they finally broke away from each other, Vera still felt dizzy, and her body turned to jelly. She could only lay in Quill's arms, grabbing onto his shirt with her soft little hands.

His dark shirt became wrinkled from her grasp, and one of the buttons was undid, revealing his collarbones and Adam's apple.

Seeing that, Vera swallowed a mouthful of saliva uselessly.

"Do you like what you see?" Noticing her subtle actions, Quill's eyes darkened slightly. He questioned as he undid the remaining buttons on his shirt.

Vera's eyes suddenly widened as she asked nervously, "What are you doing?"

"I thought you liked it?"

Quill didn't seem like he was stopping at all. Vera pressed his hand down with her face flushed and stopped him from continuing. She said anxiously, "I don't have to see it even if I liked it!"

Quill stopped what he did as Vera held the arm he used to unbutton his shirt. He looked at the blushing girl, and his lips slowly curled upward.

"Okay, you'll see when the time is right."

Vera was speechless.

Looking at that extraordinarily charming man before her, Vera couldn't help but swallow. Why did she feel... that this man had suddenly become flirtatious? Was it her imagination?

He was as cold as an iceberg in the past, and he became as passionate as fire as soon as their relationship was confirmed?

While Vera was still in fright, there was a knock at the door.

"President Hanover."

A male voice came from outside, ruining the atmosphere.

Vera was bewildered for three seconds before she suddenly stood up, leaving a huge distance between her and Quill. She anxiously looked for a place to hide. When she saw a lounge, she went in without a second thought.

Quill stayed silent the whole time.

He watched her every move; she looked like a little hamster who was caught eating.

He coughed softly and said in a hoarse voice while doing his buttons, "Come in."

The moment he opened his mouth, he returned to his poker face and calm tone.

The senior manager who was waiting at the door then pushed the door open and went in.

When the senior manager came in, he certainly felt that something was odd because the president would usually be sitting at his desk. But he was sitting on the sofa that day, and his clothes seemed a little messy?

The senior manager was a little frightened.

He had heard of the rumors recently, but he simply ignored them. After all, everyone thought that he would probably remain single for the rest of his life.

But now? The senior managed to catch a white cross-shoulder handbag that clearly belonged to a woman by Quill's side.

However, he only saw the belongings, but not the person.

The senior manager turned his eyes to the lounge.

She was obviously here, yet she hid; was it because she could not be seen? What was that? It could only mean...

"What are you looking at?"

A low, harsh voice interrupted all his thoughts.

The senior manager came to his senses and no longer dared to simply look around. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Nothing, President Hanover. You need to sign this document."

As he heard this, Quill didn't reach out to take the document from him. The senior manager awkwardly placed the document on his desk.

"Just leave it here," Quill said faintly.

The senior manager understood Quill's words. He left the office as soon as he placed the documents.

Vera hid in the lounge; she dared not

make a sound. When she leaned

against the door to listen to the conversation outside, she realized Quill was talking to the senior manager coldly; he was back to his usual indifferent, distant attitude.

Oh, so that flirtatious demeanor only belonged to her?

Thinking of this, Vera felt joyous as if lovely pink bubbles filled her heart.

Though everything still felt like a dream to her.

Vera stayed at the office until nighttime, and Quill sent her back home. When the car stopped downstairs, she sat in the front passenger seat in a daze.

Quill leaned over and unbuckled her seat belt for her. His masculine scent engulfed her once again.

After he unfastened her seatbelt, he did not retreat into his seat. Instead, he looked at her and asked, "A penny for your thoughts?"

The low masculine voice pulled Vera's mind back from the clouds. She jumped a little when she realized that his face was only inches away from her. She began to stutter again. "N-no, nothing."

"Nothing? Then do you know where we are now?"

Where were they? Vera looked out of the car window and found that they had already arrived at her place. Her face suddenly turned red. "We've already arrived? I... I was just thinking about something else." "Hmm?" Quill narrowed his eyes. "Didn't you say nothing?"

Vera didn't know what to say.

Vera raised her head and looked into his dark gaze. Although it was a pretty smooth day, but it probably was the most surreal day in her life.

She looked at Quill, who was only inches away from her, and suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. She buried her face in his neck, took a deep breath, and held him a little tighter.

Quill was slightly taken aback.

He was not used to her sudden initiative. This was because ever since that night, she had always been the passive one. But now...

He felt that her mood was odd. Quill then gently held her arm and pulled her away. "What's wrong?"

Under his gaze, Vera's eyelashes

trembled slightly, and her voice was as light as a feather. "Do you know? Today is probably the most surreal day of my life. I don't know if all this is real'm thinking, if it is all just my imagination, I don't want to ever wake up from this dream. But I know... If it is just my imagination, I would have to wake up someday. So I want to hug you as long as I can..."

She said exactly what she was thinking.

Quill smiled helplessly after hearing her words.

He pulled Vera into his arms and pinched her chin. "Did you really think so?"

It was quite dark in the car. Vera

raised her head and nodded at him with a pitiful look. Her pinkish lips looked even more attractive under the lights. Quill's fingers moved slowly and did what was on his mind. He gently caressed he lips and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Then do you want to kiss a little longer?"

Vera was struck speechless by his words.

She blinked her eyes and shook her head hard as she said, "No, I'm not that greedy. I'm easily satisfied; a hug is good enough."

She was afraid that all this would be gone if she asked for too much!

By then, she might not even be able to get a hug!

She looked too innocent and adorable. Quill had a hint of a smile in his eyes and something more. He slowly approached her and said, "Sure you don't want a kiss?"
