"But..."

"Don't worry. I only just realized there was a vacancy for that position. It has been vacant for some time; there hasn't been anyone suitable. Besides, if you can get into Yardley Corporation, you don't have to worry about your accommodation anymore because the perks that come with this position are extremely good. One of them is a condominium for one; it's perfect for you."

Hearing that, Yulia was a little moved by this offer.

However, she really didn't want to accept anyone's help; she always thought it would make her look bad.

Besides, she liked Quill. If she accepted Minerva's help at this time, then... How could she face Quill in the future?

Thinking about this, Yulia laughed bitterly and said, "I really appreciate your help, Minerva. But I'm really sorry... I can't accept it."

Minerva had already stated it so clearly, but she didn't expect Yulia to reject her still. What was going on?

After she hung up the phone, Minerva instantly thought about it from Yulia's perspective. She imagined her current situation; if the sister of the person she liked offered to help her, she would probably also reject it.

So that was it...

Minerva's gaze became gloomy.

To her surprise, Yulia had such a deep affection toward Quill.

However, hadn't they lost contact for many years? How could her affection for him be so deep? Could it be that Yulia had never looked for any other boyfriend all these years? Or perhaps...

Minerva felt that something was amiss. Hence she called Yulia again and asked her out to talk in person.

The two of them sat in the cafe; neither spoke a word.

Minerva looked at Yulia's expression and felt that she had a hunch as to their meet-up. Therefore, she smiled lightly and said, "Yulia, our families used to be close friends. Although I don't have a close relationship with you, you had held me in your arms before. We are on good terms, aren't we? I do want to help you, but I can also understand why you don't want to accept other people's help. So, I just wanted to introduce you to a vacant position. As for whether you're able to get it, it will be entirely up to you. Can't you accept it even so?"

Hearing this, Yulia held onto her coffee even tighter. She looked up and stared at Minerva.

"I'm really sorry."

Minerva smiled nonchalantly. She took a sip of her coffee and asked, "Yulia, can you tell me why you can't accept my help?"

Yulia didn't say a word. She only had a bad look on her face.

"Why don't I guess since you don't want to say it?"

Hearing Minerva's words, Yulia couldn't help but look at her. Minerva's facial features were very intricate and beautiful, especially her eyes. They were very clear and pure as if they could see through anything. Yet Minerva was telling her calmly that she would take a guess?

Yulia suddenly felt a little anxious. Could it be that... Minerva knew her thoughts?

It was impossible, was it?

"Yulia?"

Minerva saw that she was in a daze. Hence she called her.

Yulia came back to her senses and shook her head. "You don't have to say anything. I know you have roughly guessed it."

She smiled weakly. "You're such a smart girl. You've managed to sort everything out so well. How could you not have guessed it?"

Minerva was stunned. She didn't expect Yulia to admit it so openly. Could it be that her assumptions were correct?

It was because she liked Quill, so she couldn't accept Minerva's help, as she was prideful?

"I'm down and out; I already can't stand tall, now that I'm like this. If... I accept your help, I will probably never be able to hold my head up high in front of him."

Minerva was at a loss for words.

It was really as she thought.

"But don't worry. You told me Quill has a blissful life now, so I guess he most probably already has a girlfriend. So... I won't do anything to him."

Minerva didn't say anything. She just felt that Yulia was a little pitiful.

"I'm not that despicable. Although I like him, and I also came back carrying a glimmer of hope, after years of not contacting him, I'm content to see that he's happy. I won't sabotage. It's more than enough if I can just look at him from afar."

Minerva didn't know what else to say. She suddenly felt that she was a little mean.

Because she selfishly thought to put Yulia in a position in Yardley Corporation. One of the reasons was to help her, while the other was to have Yulia stay further away from her brother.

After all, it was hard to say whether she could control her feelings or not.

Minerva was not Quill; she wasn't close with Yulia, so she didn't know whether her character would stay the same in the future.

After all, anybody could change.

"Minerva, is Quill's girlfriend a good friend of yours?"

Yulia asked her out of the blue, which shocked Minerva for a moment. She looked at Yulia in surprise.

"There's no need to be surprised. I should've guessed it, shouldn't I? The fact that you would be so concerned about it could only mean that they are both important to you. Or else... You would only do things that would benefit Quill's happiness and not go this far."

As Yulia had hit the nail on the head, Minerva was stunned first, and then she laughed and admitted openly.

"That's right. She is my best friend. It took them a great deal to be together. Besides, my brother has been all alone all these years. I also hope that they can stay happily together."

"I understand. Don't worry; I will definitely not ruin their relationship."

In the end, Yulia still didn't accept

send

Minerva's suggestion. She said she wanted to rely on herself and out her resumes. Minerva didn't say much as she saw Yulia's determination. She only said that if Yulia ever needed help, she could

always look for her.

The both of them then went their separate ways.

After Olivia had cooked for Sam for a few days, she was completely comfortable with staying at Sam's place.

At first, she only moved her

cookware and kitchen appliances over to Sam's house. After that, because she would eat at his place, she brought her laptop over too. Later she felt that the chairs at Sam's place were too hard. uncomfortable to sit on, so she

d and

moved her chair over as well.

When she moved her chair, she realized that it was a set with her table, so she asked the moving company to move both of them to Sam's house.

She peacefully and comfortably went on with her days just like that. Olivia later felt that the room was very dull and it affected her creativity.

Therefore, she moved all the decoration, curtains, and wall art from her home over to Sam's house.

As for Sam, he would come to notice a few odd items appear in his house every time he came back.

At first, he would ask Olivia about it, but later on, he was too lazy to even ask.
