Chapter 399


    "Oh no, Mr. Lowell is throwing a tantrum again."


    Sisley''s face turned green.


    Minerva paused for a moment before tilting her head to look at Vera. Suddenly, she said, "Hide


    first."


    "What is it?"


    Before Vera could react, she was dragged by Minerva to a corner. As soon as Sisley saw this, she


    reacted immediately and went into hiding with them.


    She gazed at Minerva with admiration. "How amazing you are! You can actually read Zachary''s


    thoughts."


    "What are you thinking about?" Vera, who was pulled to the corner for no reason, looked confused.


    She was oblivious of the situation.


    When a person was down and out, he definitely disliked to be noticed by others.


    Zachary, who appeared to be aloof and cold, seemed to be egotistical and prideful.


    How could such a person allow others to see him in such a manner?


    Their appearance would only embarrass him.


    As Minerva thought of this, she pursed her lips. "Since he''s alright, let''s go back to thepany."


    Vera was rendered speechless for a brief moment. "Are we going back now? But we haven''t seen


    him yet."


    Minerva smiled faintly. "We have to work overtime tonight. Time is running out. Let''s make a move


    first."


    "Well, it''s your call."


    Sisley did not stop them when the two of them were about to leave. Instead, she thanked Minerva


    gratefully.


    "Thank you, you are really kind. Be careful on your way back. Remember to go to the hospital to


    treat the wounds one more time."


    "Okay, I will."


    When they came out of the slum area together, they were surprised to see a taxi parked there.


    Alberg stuck his head out of the car when he heard their footsteps.


    "You finally came out."


    Minerva and Vera looked at each other in dismay.


    They felt familiar about it.


    It was the same as the time they went to the filming site to find Yvonne.


    Wasn''t it true that all North City drivers were of such superior quality?


    "Are you alright? I thought it was too dangerous for you two girls to go in, so I waited for a while


    here. I nned to call the police if you did note out."


    After that, Alberg touched his head and smiled with embarrassment.


    "But now it seems that I''m a little meddlesome. I''m... It''s just that I still feel suspicious even though


    nothing has happened. How could I simply stand by if you girls got into trouble?"


    Minerva walked up and thanked Alberg sincerely.


    "Thank you. We are fine. Could you please send us back to the previous spot?"


    "Okay, get in the car."


    The two of them got into Alberg''s car and went back to thepany. Just as they were about to get


    out of his car, Minerva asked Alberg for his business card and entered thepany.


    "The driver we met recently is so kind. I used to see some news about murders on the Inte,


    which gave me goosebumps. I didn''t expect... Good people still exist these days."


    As soon as Minerva heard this, she gave a halfsmile. "In life, we may be in luck or it might be the


    other way round and we would encounter misfortunes. Nheless, there''s a ray of sunshine in


    darkness. This kind of thing... most of the time, it depends on luck."


    It waste when they entered thepany. Minerva went to the cafeteria to eat something.


    Unfortunately, she discovered that her hands were in so much pain to the point that she was unable


    to hold the cutlery. In the end, she could not eat anything.


    "You can''t go on this way. You are unfit for work. Thus, you should not work overtime tonight."


    "No, let''s go upstairs first."


    Finally, Minerva returned to her office. Vera went nearby to buy her a sandwich. Subsequently,


    Minerva managed to take a few bites of it by holding it.


    Just as Minerva was ready to resume her work, someone knocked on the office door.


    "Come in."


    The office door was pushed open, and the sound of steady footsteps could be heard.


    Then, the person stopped in front of Minerva''s table. Minerva was stunned for a moment, feeling


    that something was wrong. When she raised her head, she met a helpless gaze.


    Quill, who was dressed in a suit, stood in front of her.


    His eyes fell on her helplessly. Then, he looked down and saw her bandaged hand. He said with


    distress, "You''re badly injured. Why do you still overwork yourself?"


    Minerva was tongue-tied.


    "Why did Quille here?"

    She pondered for a moment, then looked at Vera who was next to her. Vera immediately picked up


    a file and blocked her face with it, coughing softly.


    Such a big mouth like Vera must have told Quill that she was injured.


    Vera said in a low voice, "I didn''t say it. I just told Beanie."


    She felt utterly ashamed in front of him. How could she have the guts to send messages to him?


    Now, she felt embarrassed, didn''t she?


    "Quill." Minerva stood up and said with a smile, "Why are you here? I have to work overtime.


    There''s no time for me to entertain you."


    "Do you think I''vee to look for you for entertainment?" Quill walked past the table and grabbed


    her wrist. "Let''s go home."


    Minerva''s expression changed a little. "No, I have to stay and work overtime tonight."


    "You''re already injured in such a manner and yet you''re still working overtime?" Quill''s face


    darkened and he red at Minerva in annoyance. "I started thepany for you because I want


    you to settle down in North City. And now you are so careless that you don''t even take care of your


    own injuries."


    Minerva responded helplessly, "Quill, I''m really alright."


    "Cancel tonight''s work. You go home with me, or go to the hospital."


    "I''m not going anywhere." Minerva was being stubborn. "I just suffered some minor injuries in my


    fingers. I''m not skipping work."


    Quill applied a little pressure on her hand at once and pulled her out directly. Minerva''s expression


    changed abruptly. "Quill! Brother! Let go of me first!"


    However, Quill persisted, pulling her out directly. Vera then quickly got up and packed up the bags


    and things on the table for Minerva. She chased after them and handed the things over to them


    right away.


    Finally, Minerva was being brought to the car. Vera handed the item to Quill with a smile. "I''ll be


    counting on you, Mr. Hanover!"


    After saying that, Vera ran upstairs, avoiding Minerva''s vicious gaze.


    After going upstairs, Vera noticed that the group of people in the team had gathered together at the


    window to gossip about it.


    "What is going on? Quill has actually appeared? Why is he being so aggressive? Is this woman the


    one who has angered Quill? Does that mean that she will soon be reced with a new boss? Tsk


    tsk, I knew it. The woman who received preferential treatment won''tst long in thepany."


    Yasmineshed out jealously.


    Kelly nced at her and sneered, "Didn''t she go on about wanting us to stay and work overtime?


    Why did she leave first instead?"


    "What are you guys talking about? Minerva''s hand is injured and she is unfit for work. You guys


    continue to work overtime. I''ll check your work tonight!"


    "You? Are you capable?"


    "If you are unwilling to do so, you can pack your things and get out of here now."


    "How dare you!"


    Vera lifted her chin and thought, "s, it feels great to hold a position in thepany."
