Vera took a deep breath and gathered all her courage to look up at Quill.

"Don't worry, I don't know what happened just now, and I won't tell anyone about it," Vera reassured.

Quill stared at her silently.

"Is that all you have to say?"

Vera blinked and looked at Quill in confusion.

What else was she supposed to say? Vera thought carefully for a moment and suddenly understood.

Helen and Quill had made their hearts clear. Moreover, Quill had discovered her presence and thought that her feelings for him would have been reignited upon listening to his conversation with Helen. Did he want her to stay so that she would promise him that she wouldn't pester him anymore?

Was he that afraid?

Although she had decided to give up, her heart was still extremely uncomfortable when she saw Quill in his current state.

Although Vera didn't feel comfortable, she eventually clenched her teeth and raised her hands to make a solemn swear.

"I promise that I won't tell anyone about what happened today. I just unintentionally passed by and didn't notice anything. Also... what you are worried about won't happen either, so don't worry." Vera reaffirmed her promise.

Quill frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of emotions. He stepped forward until he was only one step away from Vera. His masculine scent suddenly surrounded her. Vera, who had raised her hand to make a promise, was stunned in place from Quill's sudden approach.

"What am I worried about?"

His voice was cold. Under the corridor lights, his features looked charming. There was a faint light in his eyes as he stared at her like staring at a target.

Vera stared at him for a long time. For a brief moment, she saw a different emotion in his eyes.

She instantly lowered her head and stared at her toes with an uneasy feeling.

"Aren't you worried that I'll pester you?" Vera asked.

It was probably a mistake, or she was probably possessed. Otherwise... why would she have seen a trace of warmth in Quill's eyes? And...

As for the rest, Vera didn't dare to think about it any further.
