Quill was puzzled.

After an hour, there was still no sign of the person he was waiting for.

He frowned slightly. It seemed that what he did the previous night really scared her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't suddenly disappear as it was all fine before this.

When she said that she wouldn't want to have anything to do with him, was she serious?

He was deep in thought and it was hard to read his emotions. After a while, he called Juliette and asked her to resume the meeting.

The meeting originally scheduled for that day was postponed to the next day, and then it was brought back. Juliette felt a little tired. However, as a very competent secretary, she didn't dare to say no, nor did she dare to complain. She nodded her head and went on to make the arrangements.

Half an hour later, the meeting began.

Quill glanced at Juliette before entering the meeting room.

He asked, "Did you receive any news today?"

This sudden question startled her. She then realized that Vera, who should have been at the office, had not come.

"No, I didn't."

She was thinking hard while shaking her head.

Lately, Vera came everyday, and at a certain time. Not only Quill himself but even Juliette was used to it. Thus, when he said that he would cancel the meeting, she thought that he purposely did it for Vera. She didn't expect that Vera didn't come that day.

That left Quill waiting in the office alone.

Never mind that he waited. He then called for the meeting to be held again.

He even asked if she had heard any news.

Obviously, he was asking about Vera.
