Female Novel
Chapter 421
Minerva knocked off shortly after she returned to the company.
She had spent the whole day outside the office and had yet to get her car back. Hence, she had totake a taxi back together with Vera.
When Vera heard about the rear-end collision, her eyes widened instantly. "Rear- end collision?What happened to you?"
Minerva felt bad about it, smiling faintly. "I'm probably not skillful in driving."
"Aren't you skillful? Don't think you can hide from me. You have been driving cautiously all thesewhile. There must be something on your mind."
When she heard about this, Minerva was glued to the spot. Indeed, Vera knew her too well.
They understood each other very well as they had been friends for the past five years.
Minerva gave her a slight smile.
"Tell me the truth. Did that b*stard, Maddox, do something to you?"
As Vera mentioned about Maddox, Minerva recalled his words this afternoon. He said that he wasmarried, yet he behaved strangely toward her, and even...
"No," she denied immediately at the thought of it.
"No? Then why did you hit other people's car?"
"At that time... I was thinking about the design. Is Helen going to participate in the press conferencewithin a few days?"
Minerva changed the subject at once. As for Vera, when she heard Minerva mention Helen'sconference, her eyes sparkled with delight. "That's right. The outfits will be ready soon. When thetime comes, they'll be sent to our company first, and then well send them over to Helen. Minerva,this is our first completed outfit ever since we established our company."
"Yes, it is very memorable. Remember to indicate the designer's name Kelly and take a picture forher."
Vera could not resist curling her lips. "Although the outfit was designed by her, she was under yourguidance. Besides, she is working in our company. It's fine to indicate her name, yet it will be betterto add our company name before her name."
Minerva smiled helplessly. "Why are you so fussy?"
"Humph, I'm not being fussy. Evidently, it's to make a name for our company!"
"Well, let's discuss it with Kelly at that time."
"Alright."
The two of them chatted for a while before boarding the bus.
Minerva hadn't been on a bus for ages. It was not convenient for her to take a bus in high heels,especially at rush hour.
Therefore, when Minerva and Vera returned to the Hanover family home, both of them looked a littleworn out.
The two glanced and smiled at each other.
It was the weekend the next day. Thus, Minerva slept in.
The weather was good that day. Since she was free, she decided to bring Beanie to the school thatshe had previously visited. If Beanie liked it as well, she would enroll him for a week temporarily.
"Mommy, are we really going to school today?"
"Yes." While Minerva was tidying up Beanie's clothes, he couldn't help asking while raising his neck.novelbin
"Mommy, you won't leave me in school today, right?" At this point, Beanie held Minerva's armpitifully with a look of grievance on his face.
Upon hearing his words, Minerva was stunned for a moment. She then let out a chuckle. "Howcould that be? Today, I'll bring you to see whether you like the school. If you do, you will be there fora week to familiarize yourself."
Beanie refused to attend school. He had learned all the knowledge from the kindergarten by hisown and he didn't feel the need to attend school.
However, Minerva had no knowledge about it. When she noticed him holding her arm, she thoughtthat he was just being clingy, so she held his hand and walked out. "Don't think too much. Thisschool is close to my company. Then... I will pick you up after work and we will go home together."
"Whoa, that's great."
As soon as Vera heard that they were going to visit the school, she volunteered to go with them. Asfor Quill, he was coincidentally available on that day. Therefore, the four of them made a trip to theschool.
Quill drove, while the other three sat in the back.
Two adults and a child.
Vera was tense at once. After all, what had happened previously was still haunting her. She had noidea whether Quill could remember it. Perhaps he had forgotten, but she couldn't forgive herself.
What a shame.
It was rare for her to be so quiet. Minerva couldn't resist smiling. "Why aren't you talking?"
Vera did not respond.
She glared at Minerva. Minerva clearly knew that she was embarrassed, but still she said it outloud.
Minerva held back her laughter. She was merely asking casually. Beanie suddenly asked in no time,"Auntie Vera, why are you so afraid of my uncle?"
Vera froze for a second.
Were they trying to embarrass her? Could they just ignore it?
"Are you afraid of me?" Quill asked. He couldn't help glancing at Vera, who was sitting behind himthrough the rearview mirror.
Vera's heart trembled as his glance swept over her. She sat upright and flashed an awkward smileon her face.
"No!" Vera's mouth twitched while explaining for herself, "It's just that I didn't sleep well last night.
Haha..."
After forcing a smile, Vera secretly poked Beanie's backside and spoke in a low voice.
"Brat, do you want to get me into trouble?"
"Auntie Vera, why did you poke my backside?" Beanie widened his eyes, looking innocent andignorant.
Vera was tongue-tied.
Quill could not resist glancing in the rearview mirror again.
In the end, Vera could only cast a helpless look at Minerva. Minerva smiled faintly and turned awaywithout paying attention to her.
Although Beanie was a child, he was shrewd enough to matchmake for Vera and Quill.
If Vera was to be her sister-in-law, it seemed great to Minerva.
"Did I? Were you mistaken? It's your mom who poked you." In the end, Vera passed the buck toMinerva.
Minerva paused for a moment, then suppressed her laughter, saying, "Since you have said so, it'sme then."
Upon hearing her words, Vera's expression changed.
It got even more embarrassing after Minerva was forced to admit it. If Minerva had denied it, shecould still talk about it.
Quill remained silent, and did not glance back through the rearview mirror again. Vera breathed asigh of relief and felt a little disappointed simultaneously.
This man had been single over the years.
It was not easy to make him fall for her...
Alas, she could only imagine about having him. He would never belong to her.
However, Vera desired to pursue Quill since he had still remained single.
