Thinking of this, Vera covered her cheeks with her hands. Tears started flowing out of her eyes uncontrollably.

The final outcome was naturally for Quill to send her home. He warned her that if she was to behave like this in the future, he would take her away from Minerva mercilessly.

Vera was thinking, perhaps he didn't like her, but she didn't expect him to hate her so much. Was she too aggressive? Did he think that she was too reckless?

However, she had never kissed another man on her own accord. It was only Quill.

Was this the end? She couldn't accept this.

Since she couldn't sleep well last night, Minerva couldn't focus at work. She was nodding off at work even after drinking two cups of coffee.

She couldn't help but want to go to the lounge to take a two-hour nap. Suddenly, Kelly pushed the door open and came in, "Minerva, someone from Blue Sky Company is here. He said he wants to talk to you about the job." Usually, Vera would handle it. However, she was on leave that day.

Minerva put down the pen in her hand and nodded, "I understand. Take him to the reception room first. I'll be there in two minutes.'

"Okay."

Kelly, on the other hand, was a good assistant. Not only did she work as a designer, she would also take on Vera's job sometimes. Minerva's opinion of her had changed from an arrogant and domineering woman into an observant designer.

After packing up for a while, Han Minerva got up and walked to the reception room.

Upon reaching the door of the conference room, she saw the person inside and stopped in her tracks.

It was Benedict again.

Seeing him, Minerva thought of what he said to her at the bakery the day before.

"Even if I really wanted to get close to you, that's because I like you."

"I am no longer your brother-in-law. I'm qualified to compete fairly against Maddox. I didn't have a chance five years ago, but now, I want to fight for myself. I want to have a shot before you get together with Maddox."

"Minerva? You're here."
