Chapter 550


    Quill looked at her for a while and suddenly said, "I don''t think that I have hurt you."


    "Yes! Your words have hurt my heart."


    Quill was speechless.


    "Give it to me!" Vera boldly reached out to ask for it. Quill didn''t know what to say, but seeing the


    firm look in her eyes, he could only unbutton and take off his zer helplessly.


    Vera took it and put it on. She rubbed her eyes, then turned around and walked out of the door.


    "Let Nash see you off."


    "There''s no need!"


    Vera left quickly. Quill stood where he was and thought for a while. What did he say wrong just


    now?


    He just... said what he thought.


    At thepany.


    Minerva made a cup of coffee for herself. After taking a few sips, she looked at the empty seat next


    to her.


    She recalled that she had entrusted Vera to Quill the night before. She didn''t expect that Vera would


    bete to work.


    At the thought of this, the corner of Minerva''s lips curled up subconsciously.


    Bang!


    The door of the office was suddenly pushed open. Minerva raised her head. As soon as she saw


    Vera, the smile on her face disappeared.


    Aftering into the office, Vera rushed to her seat, and thenid down and buried herself in her


    arms.


    Upon seeing this scene, Minerva grimaced. She set down the cup of coffee in her hand, stood up


    and walked over to Vera. "What''s wrong?"


    In fact, she wanted to tease Vera by asking her whether she had enjoyed the night before. However,


    when Vera came in, she noticed that Vera''s eyes were red.


    Naturally, Vera did not answer her.


    Minerva didn''t force her to answer either. She pulled a chair to her side and sat down as she waited


    patiently.


    About five minutester, Vera raised her head and looked at Minerva with tears in her eyes.


    Minerva felt a sharp pain in her heart. She took out a napkin and wiped the tears from her face.


    "Don''t cry. Tell me what''s on your mind. If you can''t tell me, then I''ll give you a day off. Go home and


    rest."


    Vera suddenly turned her head and asked pitifully.


    "Minerva, do I look ugly?"


    Minerva was taken aback. As her thoughts were still forming in her mind, she shook her head and


    said, "How could you look ugly?"


    "Am I not ugly? Then, is it because I''m not good-looking enough? Or is it because I''m too poor?"


    She cried while asking. She looked very miserable.


    "In the past, I didn''t like Quill, but when he was abroad, he often came to look for you. Since I met


    him every day, how could I not be tempted? It would be fine if he was taken. However, he is single


    so I had hopes. But now, I know how ridiculous and delusional my hopes are..."


    Minerva went speechless.


    She parted her lips and wanted tofort Vera, but she didn''t know how to.


    "Minerva, am I really that ignorant? I clearly know that it''s impossible, yet I still fell in love with him."


    Minerva couldn''t help but sigh when she saw Vera''s tears. She wiped the tears from the corners of


    Vera''s eyes andforted her softly, "How could it be? Love has always been domineering and


    selfish. If you can control your feelings all the time, then you are not a human. It''s because you are


    an ordinary person that you are filled with emotions and desires. It''s normal for you to like him and


    it''s also normal that he doesn''t reciprocate your feelings. It has nothing to do with being ignorant.


    Therefore, you shouldn''t feel inferior because of this."


    "How do you know that I am feeling inferior?"


    Minerva was flustered and tried to avoid her gaze.


    How did she know?


    Minerva didn''t want her to know how she knew, but in order tofort Vera, sheughed.


    "My feelings were the same as yours when I liked someone back then."


    Vera was shocked. The next second, she sniffed emotionally, "Minerva, I''m too touched. I didn''t


    expect you to reopen your wounds in order tofort me."


    Minerva asked, "So are you still sad now?"


    Vera nodded and said, "A little, however, I can now understand how you felt at that time. I''m already


    feeling this sad when it''s just an unrequited love. Yet, at that time, you..."


    She began to ramble on and on. Minerva''s expression changed slightly as she hurriedly interrupted


    Vera. "Alright, let''s not talk about the past. Tell me, what happened to youst night? Didn''t you


    apany Quill to meet the guests? Why were you suddenly rejected?"


    "Humph!" Vera said angrily, "He actually pinched my chin and asked me if I like him."


    Upon hearing this, Minerva was very surprised when she imagined the scene.


    Quill... Was he the kind of person who would pinch a girl''s chin? Minerva''s impression of Quill had


    always been a very dependable brother. Even before they met, Quill had always been extremely


    strict with his manners. How could he pinch ady''s chin casually?


    Thinking of this, the look in Minerva''s eyes changed slightly.


    She pursed her lips. "And then? What did you say?"


    "What did I say? I haven''t even had the chance to say anything and he told me not to like him! Huh,


    who cares! He rejected me before I''ve even confessed. Tell me, how funny is this person? Minerva,


    you won''t be angry with what I just said, will you?"


    Looking at her angry face, Minerva wanted tough. She shook her head and said, "No."


    For so many years, Vera''s love for Quill had been deep. At this time, the rant stemmed from a girl''s


    self-esteem after being rejected. She would definitely recover after a while.


    Besides, Vera was the kind of person who would never give up until she had met a dead end.


    "Well, let''s not talk about this anymore. If you don''t want to go back home to rest, then hurry up and


    sort out your work."


    After saying that, Minerva took a look at the zer on her body and then turned back to her office


    table.


    Knock, knock...


    "Come in."


    The door of the office was pushed open and Kelly poked her head in.


    She seemed a little hesitant, but soon, she opened the door and entered.


    Minerva looked up at her and asked, "What''s the matter?"


    Kelly ced a folder in front of her and said, "These are the designs I''vee up with in the past


    few days. Why don''t you have a look?"


    Minerva reached out and took the document. When she opened it, she found that it was men''s


    fashion. At the same time, she also recalled that she had given Maddox''s order to Kelly.


    As she was looking at the designs, Kelly asked her, "What do you think of these designs?"


    "Not bad. They look quite good. You are getting better at your work," Minerva praised.
