Yulia stared at her gloomily and said, "I thought you knew this. After all, you two are dating. Shouldn't he have told you about it?"

Vera was completely dumbstruck by her doubt.

Yeah, they were dating; she should know about this. But... she knew nothing.

However, Vera wasn't someone who'd brood over such faux pas. She smiled and replied, "If this is a traumatic situation to him, then I'd understand if he wasn't willing to say it. I was reckless; I should've asked."

Yulia didn't expect Vera to let it go so quickly. Surprised, she also admired Vera's magnanimity. She was truly decent; she wasn't the least bit upset after hearing her words.

She was indeed the kind of person Quill liked, generous and decent.

But this was not the result Yulia wanted.

She was screaming inside. She tried her best to refrain from saying what she shouldn't. However, she couldn't withstand her selfish desires, whispering, "But I think he should've told you this. You two wouldn't be in this situation today if he did. Now that this has happened, will the both of you grow estranged? Should I explain it for you?"

Vera shook her head. "Forget it. I'll go look for him and explain it myself. Thank you for telling me this."

Yulia smiled helplessly. "I'm sorry. I thought you've really fixed this habit. I even wondered how capable you are, so I didn't tell you anything. But I'm also to blame for how things turned out."

"Not at all," Vera denied quickly. "This is between him and me. It's our matter to solve; nothing to do with you."

Hearing that, Yulia's face turned pale. She remained silent for a moment before replying, "Hurry up and replace him then."

"Mm."

After Vera left, she couldn't help recalling what Yulia had said to her.

Was it her illusion? She somehow felt that Yulia had a double entendre, but everything sounded like a flawless, foolproof piece of goodwill.

Vera pursed her lips as she quickened her pace.

No matter what, she was no longer in the mist now. At least she knew Quill didn't want to celebrate his birthday. As for why, she intended to replace it out from him.

She didn't want to hear his history from other people but himself.

All the more reason Vera had to look for Quill now!

"Vera! Vera!"

When Vera was about to get in the car, she heard someone calling her from behind.

At first, she thought it was her imagination. But just as she was nearly in the car, the sound got closer.

"Gosh, why wouldn't you respond to my calls?"

Shocked, Vera turned around and looked at the panting receptionist.

"You're looking for me?"

Jennifer had dashed over. She came running to her as soon as she heard from her colleagues that Vera was at the company. However, she had a hard time chasing her as Vera was freakishly fast. Fortunately she succeeded.

"Yes! I have something to tell you!"

Jennifer grabbed her hand, but her breathing was so heavy that she could hardly utter a word. Seeing her in such a situation, Vera replied, "If it's not something urgent, you can tell me some other time. I have something urgent to deal with now, I..."

"No, no, no. I have to tell you now. It's important too."

Vera couldn't wrap her head around this scenario.

A minute later, Jennifer finally managed to steady her breathing. She then held Vera's hand and said "Actually, I've thought for a long time if I should tell you, but I feel guilty for not doing so. After all, your pasta is amazing."

The doubts in Vera's heart ballooned as she frowned slightly. She needed to look for Quill, so she really wasn't in the mood to care about anything else.

"Look, I'm sorry, but I have something really urgent to settle today. Shall we talk another time?"

"No, listen to me!" Jennifer had a death grip on Vera's hand, not letting her go.

Vera had no choice but to nod helplessly. "Please be quick then; I really have to go."

After Jennifer made sure there

wasn't anyone else around, she whispered, "I don't know if you know this, but if you do, you can just ignore this. However, if you don't, Wct like you didn't hear this from me!"

Vera was exasperated.

Why was she so mysterious? What was so important about it?

"You know Yulia, don't you? I saw you and President Hanover took her to the hospital."

Vera became even more puzzled hearing it had to do with Yulia.

"What you're about to tell me has something to do with her?"

"Exactly!" Jennifer nodded hard. She took a deep breath before finally saying it out loud.

"She is actually President Hanover's fiancee!"

For a moment, Vera thought her ears were playing tricks on her.

And at that split second, Vera even thought she was dreaming. However, after she blinked, the receptionist was still standing in front of her. Furthermore, Jennifer's deadly grip was hurting her

The pain was undeniable.

"Did you heard what I said?" Getting no response from her, Jennifer asked again.

Hearing that, Vera dragged herself back to reality. Looking at the receptionist, she said, "Just now, you said..."

She thought she had misheard it. Otherwise, how could she have heard from the receptionist that Yulia was Quill's fiancee? No one had told her about it!

Seeing Vera's bloodless face, Jennifer knew she had heard it clearly. But she said it again, for fear she wouldn't believe her.

"Yulia is President Hanover's fiancee. I was worried you didn't know this, so I came to tell you." Vera finally realized she had heard right. However, she still couldn't believe it. After all, this was all too sudden.

"And is there proof to your words?"

"Do you need any proof for that? She knows President Hanover, doesn't she? He even reassigned her to a better position. Isn't that obvious enough?"

"Isn't it because their parents were close friends?"

"It is precisely that that they have an engagement! Otherwise, why do you think Yulia would enter Hanover Corporation?"

Vera still felt that her explanations weren't really persuasive, but... she did sense there was something wrong with Yulia's words earlier. She thought she had imagined things all the while. However, if she really was Quill's fiancee, then her words were completely justifiable now.
