Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1107

Hearing this, Vera was moved.

It turned out that Quill had really gone to see Ernest.

"I was surprised that you thought so, but why are you not confident with yourself? You're a smart and hard-working woman. Why are you so blind when it comes to relationships?"

Vera was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I was... flustered back then. Everything happened too quickly, and I wasn't able to accept it, so I..."

Ernest's fingertips were lightly tapping on the table.

"Also, the reason you were so upset was because you thought Quill was doing all these to make it up to you, am I right? You think that he was showing pity to you?"

Hearing this, Vera suddenly raised her head and looked into Ernest's eyes.

She didn't expect that he was able to pinpoint her thoughts. He knew everything.

"Mr. Lowell, you..."

"You find it strange that I can understand your temperament so well? It's because my wife used to be like this too. For a long time, I wasn't able to understand her well, and I would always upset her. Back then, I found her impossible, but soon after, I realized that I had done things wrong."

"My wife ended up being honest with me, and she said that she didn't know my feelings for her back then. So, she assumed that the things I did for her were out of pity, and it was to humiliate her. You feel the same way about Quill, don't you?"

Vera was taken aback.

Realizing the meaning of his words, Vera's heart pounded.

How could it be?

Ernest was obviously trying to say...

However, her relationship with Quill could never be compared to Ernest's with his wife.

Perhaps Ernest had misunderstood something.

Thinking of this, Vera calmed down and smiled at Ernest.

"Mr. Lowell, did you purposely take this trip here today? Thank you for telling me all this; I understand."

Ernest looked at her carefully. Although she said that she understood, there was no glimmer in her eyes. If she understood what he wanted to express, how could this be?

Soon, Ernest discovered the problem.

If it weren't for the fact that he had experienced it before, it would have been hard for him to discover it.

Thinking of this, Ernest tapped the table rhythmically. He even thought that if things go well for Quill and Vera, then Quill would owe him another favor.

What should he ask from him when the time comes?

"Do you know what he was doing when I called him yesterday?"

Vera frowned slightly. She didn't quite understand where Ernest was going with it.

Ernest's lips curled up slightly. "I heard from his secretary that he was in a meeting about a billion-dollar business."

As soon as he finished speaking, Vera's hand trembled, and she looked at Ernest with uncertainty.

Vera's lips were trembling slightly, and she looked at the person opposite her.

"Mr. Lowell, what do you mean by that?"

"Nothing specific. I just want to ask you if you would still be angry with him if you found out he sacrificed a billion-dollar business opportunity for

you."

Vera was speechless.

Vera's face turned pale.

Ernest smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. You don't have to pay for the losses. I can tell that he did it willingly."

Vera was still speechless.

"I've said what I wanted to say. If it weren't that he is my friend and I happen to know you, I wouldn't have come here today."

After saying that, Ernest left, leaving Vera sitting alone in the private room.

Therefore, Vera did not know her way around, and she could only check with the receptionist.

Vera was smart enough that she didn't tell the receptionist she was here to see President Hanover. Instead, she said she was looking for his secretary, Juliette.

When the receptionist heard that she was looking for a woman, she was not wary of Vera, but she still narrowed her eyes to look at Vera.

"You're looking for our President's secretary, Juliette. Do you have an appointment with her?"

Vera shook the bag in her hand and said with a smile, "She ordered pasta from our restaurant, so is that an appointment?"

"Food delivery?"

The receptionist was stunned for a moment. To be honest, although they had a staff canteen in the company and the food was good, there would inevitably be times when the staff were tired of eating the same food. So the employees sometimes ordered food delivery.

Therefore, it was normal for someone to come to the company to deliver food, so the receptionist did not suspect anything and called Juliette directly.

Juliette's face was blank when she received the call. "Food delivery? When did I order food?"

Vera did not expect the receptionist to call Juliette, so when Juliette was on the other end of the call, Vera raised her voice and spoke.

"Secretary Sharpio, I'm Vera Zais. You ordered pasta from our restaurant, should I send it to your office? If it's not convenient, you can come down and retrieve it too."

Vera?

Upon hearing Vera's name, Juliette quickly changed her words.

"Oh, pasta delivery. Let her come up through the

elevator."

After hanging up the phone, the receptionist looked at Vera with a strange look.

"You can take the elevator over there. Secretary Sharpio is waiting for you upstairs."

"Thank you."
