Female Novel
Chapter 522
Beanie probably heard a noise from behind him, so after he put on a T-shirt, he turned around andgave Minerva a smile.
"Mommy, good morning."
Minerva was stunned for a moment. Then, she walked over and rubbed his head affectionately witha smile. "Wash up and then go downstairs to eat breakfast. I will send you to school in a while."
"Okay!"
Beanie nodded energetically and then went into the bathroom to wash up.
After they were done getting ready, they went downstairs to have breakfast together. Yet, there wasno smell of food downstairs. Instead, Quill was sitting alone in the living room.
"Uncle," Beanie greeted as he ran into Quill's arms with his short legs when he saw him. Quillhugged him with one hand and said, "Have you washed up? I will take you out for breakfast andthen I'll send you to school."
"Huh?" Beanie asked doubtfully. "Did Auntie Vera not prepare breakfast today?"
Quill pursed his thin lips but kept silent.
He thought to himself, "I don't think she'll come downstairs before I leave."
"That's right. Vera hasn't gotten up yet?" Minerva rested her chin on her hand. That shouldn't be thecase. Even if she had slept late the night before, judging from Vera's personality, she wouldn't stillbe in bed when it was already so late.
"I'll go take a look and see if she's still sleeping," Minerva was about to turn around when Quillstopped her.
"Don't go."
"Huh?" Minerva stopped walking. She turned her head and looked at Quill in confusion. "What'swrong?"
Looking at her inquisitive eyes, Quill was too embarrassed to say more. He merely covered hismouth with one hand and coughed softly. "There's not enough time so let her sleep. We'll go out toeat first, then you can give her a call to have her come over."
Minerva looked at the time and felt that Quill's words made sense. She didn't think much of it andnodded. She then went back to retrieve her bag and brought Beanie with her. The three of them lefttogether.
When they were waiting for the lift, Minerva called Vera. Who would have thought that she wouldnot pick up the call.
"That's strange. Why won't she answer the phone?" Minerva complained in confusion.
Quill, who was standing beside her, paused for a moment before glancing sideways at her phone. "Ithink it's better if you send a message."
Minerva said in confusion, "I can't even wake her up when I called her. Can I wake her up if I sendher a message? I'll call again."
Ding...
Just then, the elevator reached their floor. Minerva had no choice but to get into the elevator.
There was no signal in the elevator. She thought for a moment and hung up the phone. Then, shesent a message to Vera, asking her to get up and pack up. When she was done, she would informher again.
After she typed out the message, she waited to step out of the elevator before sending it. SinceQuill was going to pick up the car, Minerva and Beanie waited at the entrance of the neighbourhood.
Beanie had just woken up so he was leaning on her legs in a crooked position. He was hugging herwith both hands. Minerva rubbed
his head and tried to call Vera with one hand.
In the end, Vera still did not answer the phone. Minerva felt that it was a little strange.
"What's wrong with this girl today? Waking up late isn't a big deal, but it was so hard to wake herup," she thought to herself.
Could something have gone wrong?
As she was deep in thought, Vera replied to her text.
"You guys go ahead. I won't be tagging along."
Minerva wanted to ask if something had happened to her, but on second thought, she realized thatwhen they had decided to eat out, Vera wasn't at the scene. So how could she know that Minervahad texted her about eating breakfast outside?
Combined with Quill's reaction earlier, Minerva felt that she had caught onto something.
She narrowed her eyes.
"Did you do something naughty again?"
"Ah? What nonsense are you spewing? How could I have done something naughty?"
This message revealed the fact that Vera was already furious. Minerva couldn't help but raise herred lips and shake her head helplessly.
"I've been friends with you for so many years. Do you think that I don't know you? Will you let go ofthe opportunity to get along with your Prince Charming?"
"Hmm, even if you had guessed it right, you can't talk nonsense. I won't have breakfast with you all.I'll cook for myself at home."
"Fine then, good luck to you. Seize the opportunity to one day become Mrs. Hanover."
After teasing her, Minerva put her phone away.
After breakfast, Quill and Minerva sent Beanie to school. Because it was convenient, Minerva tookQuill's car to the company. When she arrived at the company, Vera was already in the office.
Seeing that Minerva had arrived, Vera turned around and ran away.
"Stop right there," Minerva called out to her. She narrowed her eyes. "You're so afraid of me? Whatexactly did you do this morning?"
Vera turned her back to her, but she was unwilling to look back. After a long time, she snorted andsaid, "There's nothing to say. After all, it's what you already know. Whatever you think happened,happened. I... I'm going to work."
After saying so, Vera quickly fled.
Minerva watched her back and couldn't help but laugh. Then, she calmly walked to the office table.When she saw the stacks of design plans, Minerva's head started to ache.
After being away from work for such a long period of time, it seemed that she would be very busy inthe next few days.novelbin
After finishing her work, she had to draw Maddox's design.
The whole morning, Minerva was busy dealing with the accumulated stacks of designs. By the timeshe was done, it was already noon. After lunch, Minerva didn't even intend to rest. Just as she wasabout to start working, Vera barged in nervously.
"Janice is coming."
Minerva paused for a moment when she heard Janice's name. Then, she looked up.
"She's here?"
"Yes," Vera nodded vigilantly. "Do you want to call the police? In case..."
"There's no need to," Minerva shook her head.
"Let her in." "What if she wants to hurt you again this time? I think it's better to call the police." Afterthat, Vera quickly took out her mobile phone, looking like she was going to call the police.
"I'm sure she won't hurt me. Let her in. I have something to discuss with her."
"But..." Vera still hesitated.
"Don't worry, just go. I'll be fine."
In the end, Vera could only reluctantly ask Janice to enter.
Janice did not come empty- handed. Moreover, she was not the only one who came. Her mother,Samantha followed behind her and she walked in with a smile on her face.
When she saw Minerva, Samantha immediately revealed an apologetic expression. "I'm so sorry,Miss Hanover. Will I disturb your lunch break if I come looking for you at this time?"
After that, Samantha knocked into Janice, who was walking beside her. Janice felt a little awkward,but still curled her lips and said, "I don't think so. She's already in the office. How could you disturbher?"
The smile on Samantha's face froze for a moment, before she asked sternly, "Why are youspeaking like this?"
Janice felt awkward and said, "I promised that I would lock myself up in the detention center for awhile longer. But... Since we already dealt with the matter in private, they won't let me stay there fornothing," she said as she looked at Minerva bashfully. "It's not that I broke my promise; I was forcedto do so. When I came out, I came to your place with my mother."
"Is that so?" Minerva's expression was indifferent. She pointed at the sofa across from her and said,"Have a seat."
