Vera was stunned for about ten seconds before she reacted. She stood up and raised her hand to wipe the saliva off her mouth.

"What are you guys doing? Why are you watching me sleep? It's terrifying."

Minerva's hands were crossed in front of her chest helplessly, "Look at yourself. Why are you sleeping on the sofa instead of your room?"

Beanie agreed and nodded, "Yes, Auntie Vera, why are you sleeping on the sofa? Did you come back late last night?"

Upon hearing Beanie's words, Han Minerva seemed to have caught on to a suspicious point and narrowed her eyes.

"You came back late last night? How late?"

The look on Vera's face suddenly became guilty. She didn't dare to look into Han Minerva's eyes.

"Last night..."

"Nothing happened last night!" Vera stood up and said with her face blushing. Then she turned and ran upstairs, saying, "I'm too sleepy. I'm asking for leave. I want to sleep for a day." Without giving Minerva any chance to react, she went straight into her room.

Vera leaned against the door and was out of breath. Thinking of what had happened the night before, her ears couldn't help but redden.

She bit her lower lip, took off her shoes and threw herself onto the bed.

The images in her head took shape slowly.

In fact, she had gone to Quill's company to wait for him the day before. When Quill saw her, he did not think too much of it and let her in the car.

Because they were sitting in the back seat, Vera felt like she was sitting on pins and needles since she got in the car. From time to time, she looked at Quill, who was sitting next to her.

He sat there expressionlessly. His side profile was rather handsome. His aura was calm and steady. It was extremely attractive.

The more Vera looked at him, the more she liked him. At the same time, she thanked Minerva for what she said to her that day.

If Minerva hadn't told Vera to meet Quill if she wanted to, she wouldn't come looking for him.

Naturally, she wouldn't have had the chance to get in Quill's car.

Thinking of this, Vera coughed lightly and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Hanover... Have you had dinner?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Vera almost bit off her tongue.

He had just gotten off work. What stupid question was this?

She was so embarrassed. However, she had already asked the question. She could only hope for Quill to answer. "No, I haven't."

As expected, Quill replied, but he kept it simple and short. It was as if he didn't want to waste a word on her.

Vera looked at him again and saw that his eyes did not move at all. She felt a little sad. Since he refused her last time, his attitude towards her was obviously much colder.

He clearly told her not to have any ideas of him. He wouldn't have feelings for her.

However, Vera still couldn't restrain her feelings for him.

"Then... Shall we have dinner together?"

After that, Vera was feeling nervous again. She was afraid that Quill would not agree so she said, "Of course, it's my treat!"

He paused for a moment and looked over at her with calm eyes.

She was so nervous that she stopped breathing. She bit her lower lip and looked at him with a pale face.

"Is that okay?"

Quill frowned when he saw that her pink lips were trembling. What was going on with this woman? However, seeing the look in her eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse. He nodded before he could react. Vera's eyes instantly lit up. He wasn't sure whether she was excited or because it was unbelievable. "You, you just said yes?"

Vera really couldn't hold back her inner joy and looked at him nervously and happily.

"Yes."

Quill nodded. It was just a meal. It wasn't a big deal.

She was overjoyed. Quill noticed that since he said yes, her joyful aura filled the car.

Nash, who was driving in the front, naturally took in the scene. The corners of his mouth slowly lifted.

What great news. Quill had been single all these years. It was good to have a passionate and energetic woman around him.

Thinking of this, Nash felt happy too.

"By the way, what would you like to eat?" Besides feeling happy, Vera thought of an important thing and asked nervously as she looked at Quill.

"Since it's your treat, it's up to you."

Vera blinked her eyes, "I can't neglect you. I know of a new restaurant. Why don't we go there?"

"Sure."

Fifteen minutes later, Nash sent Quill and Vera to the restaurant.

Since it was a newly-opened restaurant, there were a lot of people. In order to provide a good dining environment for Quill, Vera ordered a small private room. The two of them then ordered a few dishes. When the two of them were left in the room after the waiter left, Vera realized something important.

Since they were the only people left, it was kind of awkward.

It was the first time that Vera was having a meal with Quill alone at the same table. Furthermore, it was in a small private room with only the two of them.

Vera was extremely excited. She felt that her opportunity had come.

She bit her lip while her hands under the table were pinching each other since she was so nervous. From time to time, she looked up at Quill, who was sitting opposite her and didn't know how to break the silence.

The room was silent and the atmosphere was extremely awkward. Vera constantly secretly peeked at Quill.

How could he not feel her gaze? He pursed his lips and finally looked at her.

"Do you remember what I told you last time?"

"Huh?" Even though Vera was nervous, she raised her head and glanced at him. Quill's cold gaze met hers, "What?"

"Have you forgotten what I said to you in the Hanover home last time?"

Vera paused for a moment and then she realized what Quill was referring to. Her face turned slightly pale and she nodded.

"No, I didn't forget. I still remember it."

Remembered?

Quill's gaze deepened. His fingers were tapping lightly on the table, as if he was thinking about something. Vera sat opposite him, not even daring to breathe heavily. Was he going to reject her again? Thinking of this, she lowered her head and did not dare to speak again.

"Since you remember it, why did you still ask me out?"

Quill asked again.

She was stunned for a moment and then raised her head. "I..."

She didn't know how to express it. She just wanted to see him. That was why she asked him out. Surprisingly, he agreed.

Just then, the waiter came back and said, "I'm sorry, Miss, the duck you ordered is not available. Would you like to order something else?"

"Oh, okay." The appearance of the waiter had greatly solved Vera's anxiety. After the menu was handed to her, Vera looked at it and ordered a bottle of white wine.

"Let's have this instead."

The waiter was a little surprised, "Miss?"

"It's okay. That's it."
