Why was she here?

Yulia looked very calm. "Didn't I just say I work here? As for your other question, I can only tell you the Maxwell family went bankrupt, and my parents are dead. I have nothing now; I'm no longer the young lady of the Maxwell family."

The jovial smile on Ernest's lips gradually disappeared after he heard the latter part of her answer. He looked at Yulia and found the news hard to accept, so he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. "You don't have to look at me like that. I'm no longer sad, so you don't have to think I'm pitiful.

I do not need that."

After saying this, Yulia straightened her back as if she didn't care.

The atmosphere was silent for a long time. Ernest sighed heavily.

"Sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. What I said just now was unintentional. I apologize."

"You don't have to apologize. You didn't know. This is how you usually talk, so I don't blame you. But if you continue to say such things after you know, then I might really get angry."

The two of them looked at each other for a while, then smiled.

"Why didn't you tell us about such a huge thing sooner?" Ernest asked.

Not only were Quill and Yulia childhood friends, but Ernest grew up together with them as well. They were the best of friends.

However, the Hanover family and the Maxwell family were close, but the Lowell family was not.

"I don't like to talk about these things. Besides, when it happened, it was chaotic. I didn't have time to do other things."

Speaking of those sad days, Yulia still felt negative and low. However, she managed to get a grip quickly. She smiled at Ernest and said, "There's no need to bring it up now that everything is over. It's just that the young lady of the Maxwell family is gone, but another Yulia Maxwell appeared. It's good that I'm able to be a smalltime employee here now."

"Quill doesn't know, does he?" Ernest asked.

Yulia was stunned and shook her head. "I didn't tell him."

"I guessed so."

Based on their relationship in the past, if Quill knew Yulia was working here, there was no reason for him to let her be an ordinary employee. Not only because of their friendship but also Yulia's abilities qualified her for more.

She was capable and smart. After all, she was the only daughter in her family. She had been running the company with Mr. Maxwell for a long time.

"You should tell him. After all, you need to climb the ladder."

"I don't think that's necessary. The reason I didn't want to tell any of you is that I want to do it my way and not..."

However, Ernest suddenly interrupted her, "If you want to prove yourself through your efforts, then there is no need. You've already proved yourself long ago. The young lady of the Maxwell Group is not a pushover. Those who have suffered losses because they looked down on you are more than proof of your ability, now..."

"It's not the same now." Yulia's hands were clenched into fists. She mumbled, "That was in the past, but now... I used to have the support of the Maxwell Group. There were a lot of people who could help me. Now... I'm all alone. How can I prove myself?"

Ding...

The elevator arrived, and the door opened.

Ernest did not go out but looked at her. When Yulia realized which floor it was, she was taken aback for a split second. She took a few steps back and pressed against the wall after coming back to her senses. "You're here to see him, aren't you? Go ahead."

"Aren't you going with me?" Ernest asked.

"No." Yulia shook her head. Quill had a girlfriend. How could she see him? After all, she liked him. If Quill didn't have a girlfriend, maybe she could still fight for it.

But her proud nature did not allow her to do so.

She was also afraid that if she saw him too many times, she might be unable to help herself, just like when she'd entered this company.

When she submitted her resume, she had not wanted to send it to the Hanover Corporation, but she still couldn't help but send it when she saw the name.

After she submitted it, she began to regret it. She felt that she had been too impulsive. She had a good conversation with his sister, but she still submitted a resume.

After that, Yulia comforted herself. She was just working at the Hanover Corporation; she didn't have any other intentions. Even if his sister knew, she couldn't say anything. Since she was here, she would focus on her work instead of meeting him.

"You really don't want to meet him? Although you're an ordinary employee now, our relationship isn't like..."

Ernest wanted to say more, but Yulia directly interrupted him.

"I have my reasons for not going. Don't ask any more questions. Don't say anything more. Go on."

In the end, Yulia even grabbed Ernest's sleeve and dragged him out of the elevator.

Ernest was pushed out of the elevator just as the door closed; he didn't have the chance to speak anymore. He stood there and looked at the elevator door for a few seconds before he turned and left slowly. Yulia watched as the numbers on the display of the elevator descended, and her heart sank gradually.

She suddenly felt a little sad.

Ernest's appearance seemed to be reminding her everyone had changed It was no longer the time when the three of them were

together. They had their ownel?

pursuits and happiness. They couldn't return to the past

Why...

Why were there so many imperfections in the

world?

Ding...

The elevator stopped at a certain floor. Yulia went out to deliver the files. After that, she truly didn't feel like herself. So, she said she didn't feel comfortable and wanted to take leave to go to the hospital.

Seeing that her face was indeed pale, Wendy gave her a half-day leave. Yulia then took the elevator downstairs.

When she left the company, she had to pass by the reception. When Jennifer saw her, she quickly ran over.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

When Yulia saw her, a hint of

impatience flashed across her eyes.

Why did the receptionist keep

pestering her? The last time she saw her, she asked a bunch of

inexplicable questions. What did she want this time?

Yulia frowned and quickened her pace, pretending that she did not hear Jennifer call her.

Seeing that she was as swift as an arrow, Jennifer could only trot and stop Yulia.

Jennifer asked, "Why did you run away after seeing me? Am I a human-eating monster?" "You may not be a human-eating monster, but you're more annoying than one." Yulia thought. "What is it? I'm rushing home," Yulia said.

"Oh, I just want to ask you. Last time you said you were engaged to President Hanover when you were children. Is it true?" Jennifer asked.
