Thinking of this, Vera's heart pounded hard; she was even frightened to the point of wanting to run away.

But she suppressed her emotions almost instantly as she put her hand on her heart.

"Steady. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Then she looked around, and chose a seat on the sofa to sit down.

She had been to this office before. She used to come every day when she delivered food for him, but she hadn't come over for a long time.

One and a half hours wasn't a long time, but it wasn't short either. However, Vera was bored to death as she waited. She initially wanted to do some online shopping for clothes, but she couldn't focus. Her mind was occupied by things that had nothing to do with the clothes.

In the end, she put her phone away and fell asleep on the sofa.

It was only when Vera heard steady and clear footsteps coming from outside the door that she suddenly opened her eyes. She sat up, wide awake.

Quill opened the door and saw Vera sitting on the sofa, raising her head with her back upright. She looked like a student in front of the principal, sitting up straight with a serious look.

A smile crept into Quill's dark eyes; he didn't even notice it himself.

Vera looked at Quill, trying to look natural, "Is the meeting over already?"

"Yes."

Quill nodded lightly. He had already walked to her front. "Have you been waiting here all this while?"

Vera was stunned for a moment. Then she heard him say, "Are you tired? Do you want to take a nap?"

She found it hard to speak. "No need."

Who would be able to sleep in such a situation?

Vera felt that Quill was rather senseless; she shook her head. "I'm not sleepy."

Quill narrowed his eyes slightly. "Are you sure?"

Vera straightened her back a little bit more under his stare and shook her head firmly. "I'm really not sleepy."

"Okay, since you are not sleepy, let's talk about us."
