Minerva took the elevator straight to her office level.

In the office, Vera could be seen rummaging through the document cabinet looking for a folder, her phone attached to her ear. She was on a call and when she finally found the folder she was looking for, she spoke, "I'm sorry, madam. I couldn't hear you clearly just now. Could you repeat what you just said?"

"Oh? Okay, no problem. You can send it to my email. I'll look into it for you later."

After hanging up the phone, Vera breathed a sigh of relief and then turned around with the folder in her hand.

Then, she saw Minerva. Vera was stunned for a moment but she soon came back to her senses.

"Minerva?" Vera asked.

Minerva smiled and walked over to retrieve the folder from her hand. She jokingly asked, "You're that busy?"

Vera handed Minerva the folder and put the phone back in her back pocket. She said helplessly, "What can I do? If you're not here, I can only complete these tasks alone."

"Speaking of which, why did you come here all of a sudden? I thought that you wouldn't come to the office today. After all..."

While speaking, Vera's eyes widened and she lowered her head.

"After all, what?" Minerva opened the folder while looking at her.

"After all, I offended you with what I said last night," Vera bit her lower lip and felt guilty. "After I said those words to you yesterday, I went back to my room and thought about it the whole night. I realized that I was wrong to say those words to you. I don't have any experiences in love so I can't possibly give you such advice. I was too self-centered. As your friend, I shouldn't have spoken to you that way. I am sorry," Vera apologized wholeheartedly to Minerva.

"That's enough," Minerva interrupted her and said, "You don't have to apologize. I didn't take this matter to heart."

Her voice was a little hoarse, probably due to fever from just now.

Vera was a sensitive person and she could tell that something was wrong with her voice in an instant. She glanced at Minerva's face and asked, "Are you really not angry? Last night..."
