At the moment of collision, Vera only felt a burst of pain on her forehead, and then she felt dizzy.
A strong masculine aura suddenly enveloped her from all directions.
Because of the large number of people, the elevator was noisy.
But after Vera realized where she was, she felt that the entire world fell silent.
She raised her head and stared at Quill, who was holding her in his arms. Her eyes were full of incredulity.
This...
What was going on? Quill... Did he know what he was doing? Just as Vera's mind was filled with doubt as she looked at Quill, he pushed her away with a cold face.
"Don't you know to avoid?" Vera was unable to lift her head because of his words. She bit her lower lip lightly and was about to refute when she heard Quill staring at the person pushing the wheelchair and saying coldly. "Even if you are in a hurry, you should watch out in a public space, shouldn't you? If you hurt someone else, did you think it would be enough to say sirrelevant apology?" He was the president of a company, coupled with his strong and strict aura.
So at this moment, because of his words, the noisy elevator also quieted down. Others didn't want to cause trouble, so they held their breath and didn't make a sound.
The wheelchair was pushed by a middle-aged woman, who was dressed in fashionable clothes. The man in the wheelchair was very old and they looked like a pair of father and daughter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe woman looked at Quill. She could tell at a glance that Quill was an extraordinary person. He was probably someone not to be trifled with.
However, she felt annoyed that Quill was embarrassing her in front of so many people, so she replied in a strange tone.
"I didn't hit her, didn't I? Besides, didn't you know to move aside when I cin? Don't you know how to take care of an elderly man?" The elderly man she was referring to was the old man sitting in the wheelchair.
Vera hadn't expected Quill to scold the woman, nor had she expected her to actually retort. The atmosphere in the elevator bectense all of a sudden.
"So you're saying that you can do whatever you want just because the person in the wheelchair is an old man?" Quill spoke in an even colder tone.
All of a sudden, the temperature in the elevator dropped drastically.
The middle-aged woman was embarrassed and didn't say anything else, seeing that the man was not someone to be trifled with. At this moment, the old man in the wheelchair trembled as he opened his mouth.
"I'm sorry, young lady... My daughter didn't do it on purpose. She's just a little anxious. We're rushing downstairs. I apologize to you on her behalf." The old man was very sincere, and his attitude was very good.
Initially, Vera didn't care about it, but the middle-aged woman's attitude was really very bad. Now, after hearing the old man's apology, Vera had her heart softened immediately.
She waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. I wasn't hurt anyway. You don't have to apologise." The middle-aged woman said in a mean tone, "That's right. Even the young lady admitted that she hadn't been hit. Why are you so fussy about it as a man? You're so crass!" Hearing that she talked down to Quill, Vera frowned, and the anger that she had just restrained burst out at this time.
"What are you talking about? I said it was nothing for your father's sake. Your father has a good attitude. How can he have a daughter like you? It's obvious that you almost hit me, but you kept arrogantly blaming me, and think you did nothing wrong." Vera suddenly burst out; it was beyond the middle-aged woman's expectation. She opened her eyes wide in disbelief. "You..." "What? I have never lost a fight before. Don't bully people just because they're young and say that they are crass. Why don't you look at yourself? You almost hit me, but you don't want to apologize. You sure look disgusting!" The people in the elevator also did not expect that Vera would burst out. She looked so vulnerable hiding under Quill's protection just now.
But now? She looked as if she was an animal and her territory had been invaded. She looked fierce and bared her fangs as she roared angrily at the other party, acting as if she was protecting the weak. After that, Vera put away her sharp claws and teeth and showed a sweet smile to the old man.
Her voice was soft.
"Sir, I promise I'm not yelling at you. This has nothing to do with you. You're a good man." The old man was speechless.
What happened? Where was he at? Even Quill looked at the back of Vera's head in bewilderment.
Hadn't she always had a good temper? Had she suddenly just lost her temper? The people in the elevator merely watched on.
At this moment, the elevator reached its destination. The middle-aged woman was choked by Vera's words and couldn't even retort She snorted with anger and pushed the old man out angrily when the elevator door opened.
The others in the elevator smiled and said, "Young lady, your girlfriend material is off the roof." "That's right. That woman had crossed the line just now. She was unscrupulous just because she was with the old man. This type of person needs to be taught adesson and also learn smanners." "Good job, young lady. Your boyfriend is also very handsome!" Quill was tall and handsome, and Vera was petite and cute. Quill had pulled Vera into his arms just now and then sought justice for her. To outsiders, they looked like a perfect match. So, naturally, everyone assumed that Vera was protecting her boyfriend.
Being teased by so many people, Vera blushed instantly.
"That... is not what you think, I..." How was she going to explain it? Vera looked pretty awkward now.
She had only heard the middle-aged woman called Quill crass, and she burst into anger and retorted for him in an instant. She hadn't thought about what would happen after that. Now...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVera tilted her head and peeked at Quill.
Quill's handsface was stone cold as usual. There was only a pair of black eyes staring at her. As soon as their eyes met, Vera moved her gaze away instantly. There were too many people in the elevator, so she was too embarrassed to speak.
Therefore, Vera lowered her head. During this period, she felt that a gaze was stuck to the top of her head. Thus, Vera began to let her imagination run wild again.
Had she washed her hair last night? Was her hair in a mess now? She didn't know if there was any dandruff on her head or any odor? As as she was imagining, the elevator finally arrived on the first floor.
Vera followed Quill out of the elevator.
She still kept a distance from Quill, but, just now, they stood too close to each other in the elevator. She seemed to still have his scent on her.
It was calm, clear and cool.
Vera gently bit her lower lip, recalling what had happened in the elevator just now.
His arms... felt really warm.
No! Vera shook her head all of a sudden. What was she thinking? How could she be crushed by a hug and forfeit all the plans she had made? No, Vera thought she couldn't be like this! After Vera cto her senses, she followed Quill to the parking lot.
Then, she thought of something important.
Hadn't it been Quill who sent Beanie
to her hlast time? Then he would know where she was staying. Since he knew where her hwas, why did he ask her to cdown and lead the way? X
