Vera was truly so anxious that she was about to cry. The rims of her eyes turned red. When she heard Quill gently agreeing with her, she realized that she was overreacting.

She quickly let go and stepped back from him. After that, she packed the food back into the bag again.

They didn't speak for a moment, and the antechamber was completely silent.

All of a sudden, someone knocked on the door. Juliette stood by the door with an odd expression.

"Are you done with your meal? President Hanover, you have a video conference in five minutes. The notes have been prepared."

Quill and Vera were silent.

Quill frowned and Vera turned around to look at Juliette.

"Hadn't he just finished a meeting? There's another one now? What a hectic schedule. Moreover, he hasn't had time to eat since the last meeting. If he continues with the video conference, will he skip his lunch?" Vera thought.

"I know. I'll be there in a minute."

Juliette received the answer she needed, so she waved at Vera then left.

Vera became even more uneasy. She stood up with the bag in her hand and said, "Since you'll be busy, I'll leave first."

Seeing that Vera was about to leave, Quill wanted to ask her to stay and wait for him here. However, she had already waited for him for a long time, she even fell asleep, so there was no point to keep her here.

Quill hesitated for a moment and said, "Your leg is injured; let Nash send you back. Wait for him here for fifteen minutes."

Then, he called Nash. Nash rushed over as soon as he received the call. Quill left the room to attend his video conference. Before he did, he asked her.

"Will you come here again?"

"Huh?"

"Tomorrow."

Vera blinked and said dryly, "Yeah... I think so..."
