The two chatted for a while then continued to work. Soon, it was time to get off work.

Only then did Minerva think of a serious issue.

Vera and Beanie were going back to the Hanover family home together, so Quill would come to the office to pick Vera up before going to get Beanie.

However, Maddox was also coming to fetch Minerva from the office too.

It was possible for the both of them to run into each other.

As she thought of this, Minerva's expression quickly fell. She immediately told Vera about this matter.

Hearing this, Vera realized the seriousness of the matter. She glanced at the time on her cell phone and said in a panic, "There's only ten minutes left. It's too late to say anything now. What should we do?" Minerva bit her lower lip. "I can't let Maddox come over. If Quill finds out..."

The consequences were unimaginable.

"What should we do? Are you going to tell him to pick you up later?"

"In that case, he'll only think that I'm working overtime and will come even earlier."

After thinking for a while, Minerva began to pack her things. Vera didn't understand what she was doing. "What are you doing?"

"Getting off work early."

"Getting off early? Then you..."

"I'll go straight to his company."

Vera's eyes widened. "Will you be able to make it in time?"

"It's too late, so I'll call him on the way and try to make him pick me up somewhere else."

Minerva quickly packed up and headed out of the door. She turned back and said to Vera, "I'll leave the rest of the work to you. Actually, there's nothing much left to do. Be careful." "Alright."

There was no signal in the elevator, so Minerva walked down the stairs and sent a message to Maddox.

After sending the message, she quickly walked down the stairs. When she arrived at the third floor, her cell phone suddenly rang.
