Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"You owe it to him?" Juliette raised her eyebrows and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something she didn't know about, but she didn't intend to dive deep into it. Instead, she smiled at her and said, "Well, I won't ask you more about it. Just walk down straight and the last one is President Hanover's office." "Thank you." "I'll go grab lunch." Juliette waved at her and left.

After she left, Vera stepped forward. She followed Juliette's instructions and found the last door. The door was closed, so she could only knock.

"Cin." The man's deep voice cthrough the door and her heart fluttered. She felt nervous all of a sudden. Then, she quickly calmed herself down, pushed the door open, and walked in.

Quill's eyes were fixed on the screen of his laptop. He instinctively asked the person to cin when he heard knocking on his door. Then, he didn't bother looking up at who it was, because he assumed it was just one of his employees coming in to report to him about work.

After all, it was what he had to go through everyday.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, he found his office was still in complete silence. He then looked up and saw Vera holding a bag in her hands as she stood obediently in front of his desk. She looked uncomfortable.

It turned out to be her.

No wonder it was so quiet.

"You're here?" He asked, and SHE nodded hard. She began to stammer nervously and asked, "Err... Should I put this on your table?" He recalled the past, where she would behave in a sprightly manner in front of him, and her eyes would light up at the sight of him. She was straightforward, real, and genuine. She was terribly sincere.

Now? She would avoid eye contact, and she would stutter when she spoke to him due to her unease.

It was probably all influenced by him.

He was unhappy about it. The fact that she was behaving so anxiously around him made him feel like he shouldn't have asked her to chere and make her feel like she couldn't be herself. As he thought about it, he stood up and whispered, "There's a table here." She walked towards it and placed the bag on the table. Since he was here, she said, "I'll leave it here then. If there isn't anything else, I think... I'll leave first?" The handsman in front of her raised his head and looked at her face. When she asked, her tone was very cautious.

He looked at her in silence with a sharp gaze.

"Are you afraid of me?" "No... Not at all." She was just afraid of what he would do to her, and she was also awkward because of what has happened in the past.

"If you're not, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" To prove that she was not afraid, Vera could only walk to the sofa in front of him and sit down. She placed her hands on her knees and sat up straight, like a school student in class.

"I'm not in a hurry to leave. I just didn't want to disturb you during your meal. If it doesn't bother you, I can just sit here." "Alright." Quill didn't refuse her and began to eat in front of her. He looked noble and elegant when he ate. His handsside profile was particularly charming. When he ate, his lips parted and closed. The color of his lips was slightly dark, but it suited him.

While watching, she was deeply drawn by him. She naturally thought about back then where she forced a kiss on him.

At that time, she was a fearless young girl. She pursued him passionately despite being rejected by him. But now she just found the old her terrifying.

If she was to fall in love with someone again, she would never be able to do things that would risk her self- esteem again.

Sure enough, when it cto certain things in life, it took a lot of courage to go through the sexperience again.

Staring at her, he suddenly looked up at her and they made eye contact. She was stunned for three seconds before she quickly turned her head away. She tried to act natural but her ears were blushing.

He stared at her for a while and realized that she was blushing from her ears to her neck. If he continued looking at her, her whole body might turn red. Thinking of this, he said in a low voice.

"The box on the table is for you." Box? She glanced over and saw a small box on the table. It looked beautiful from the outside. Was he giving her a gift? That was the first thought that popped up in her mind, and her body quickly reacted to it. She waved her hands as she said, "No it's okay, you don't have to giveanything haven't returned you the medical fees the other day, so..." "It's your phone," he interrupted her words and clarified the matter.

Her phone? It was her phone that he had sent for repair. She felt deeply embarrassed, and she recalled that Juliette had told her about it earlier, but she had forgotten about it.

As soon as she saw the box, she thought that he was going to give her a gift...

Vera's face was so red that it almost bled. She quickly took the box and opened it.

Sure enough, her repaired phone was sitting inside the box.

"It was delayed for a few days, but your phone is fine now." Vera's throat had dried up due to the misunderstanding. She nodded with a smile, "Thank... Thank you for doing that. How much did the repair cost? I'll pay it back to you along with the medical fees." Quill ignored her and continued eating his meal when she asked him about money.

She sat there, absent-minded.

Why would he give her a gift? She was such an idiot, and she made a fool out of herself in front of him.

"Vera Zais, could you please calm down? Why are you so naive?" She thought to herself.

"But I didn't bring enough money Lover today, so I'll bring it over herectoryou tomorrow.still have things to do in the restaurant, so I'll be leaving..." She stood up as she spoke, but he suddenly raised his head and stopped her.

"Why are you rushing off? I do have a gift for you." She was rooted to the spot, looking at him in surprise.

"What did you say?" He put down his fork, then stood up and handed her a box from the shelf.

At first, she did not dare to take it, so she stared at him with suspicion.

"What is this?" "There is a banquet the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go?" "Keep this. Letknow beforehand if you want to go. If you don't want to, I won't force you to."

Vera finally cto her senses after hearing this. She looked up at Quill you...

and asked "Are you askingto attend a banquet with you? Is there a dress in the box?" "Yes." She then reached out and took the

box, but she was too nervous to open it. He looked at her holding the box as if it was a treasure chest, and a a 111 gentle smile appeared on his ips unconsciously, which even he himself did not notice. "Take a look and see if you like it." X
