The whole room turned quiet the moment Vera spoke.

"No, it's okay, you all don't have to go. Assistant Sorrento can just give me a ride," Quill then stoically said.

Upon hearing this, Minerva subconsciously looked over at Vera.

Her brother's words meant that there wasn't a need for her to go.

Vera's face turned pale and she stood still. She looked at Quill miserably. Tears were welling up in her eyes. She really wanted to send him off but from his words, she knew that he didn't want her to do so. There probably wasn't any hope for her to send him off.

Looking at her, Minerva, as a woman, felt unbearable for her. Quill then proceeded to take his luggage and did not even spare Vera a single glance. He then said, "Let's go."

He walked out the door without looking back, as if nothing there would be missed by him.

Before Sam followed, he quickly glanced at Vera.

In the end, he sighed silently and then walked out the door.

It was probably better this way. If Quill was more heartless, then Vera might give up faster, Sam thought this in his heart.

Bang!

It was only after the door slammed shut did Vera snap out of her daze. Her eyes were now red and she wanted to chase after them but Minerva stopped her. "Forget it, don't go."

Vera's tears immediately streaked down her face. "Minerva, why?" She asked tearfully.

Why? Why was it that he didn't even allow her to send him off? Was it really impossible for anything to happen between them?

Minerva wanted to say some comforting words to Vera seeing how distressed she was. If possible, she wanted to share some of her pain.

She couldn't even blame her brother for how he treated her because feelings couldn't be forced.
