Vera was instantaneously stunned as soon as she saw Quill. She felt much soberer.
But she hadn't had any alcohol...
"Get in the car," Quill said coldly.
Vera was speechless.
Vera cried in her heart. Was he not going to let her off just because she overheard his conversation with Helen? She helplessly looked at him.
"Um, can I not get in the car?" She had already promised him so much. Why would he still not let go of her? Moreover, Vera had previously eaten too many cakes. Therefore, she felt nauseated. She dared not get inot the car because she was afraid that she would end up vomiting in it. "I'll send you home." "Huh? Sendhome?" Vera pointed at herself, not knowing how to react. Did Quill want to send her home? Why does it sound like a fantasy? She felt that she was dreaming, so she rubbed her eyes and focused her gaze again. She realized that Quill's charming face was still in front of her; he didn't disappear.
Vera immediately straightened her back and answered seriously.
"Thank you, but there's no need." Vera insisted.
She knew that Quill was being a gentleman and wanted to send her hbecause she was his sister's best friend. Otherwise, according to Quill's personality, he would never willingly stop his car to wait for her. Since Vera had made a decision to stay away from him, she insisted on not getting into his car.
If she allowed it to happen, she would only be fueling this complicated relationship between them.
More importantly, Quill might be unaffected, but she would be the one feeling miserable. She had made up her mind to give up on him. If she were to be around him, it would just be torturous for her. Therefore, she could not get in the car! She had to stand her ground! Upon hearing this, Quill frowned. After listening to what Vera had said earlier, he had expected her to refuse. However, he couldn't himself. He still stopped his car when he saw her tiny figure there, even though he knew that he should've driven past her.

Vera felt the look from his eyes made her feet cold inexplicably. She bit her lower lip lightly. Just as she was about to answer him, someone grabbed her shoulder.
"Thank you, President Hanover. However, I've promised to send her home. I'm afraid that Vera would feel bad if she were to cancel onand get in your car." a voice sounded behind her.
Sam suddenly appeared and gently held onto Vera's shoulder. He pulled her into his arms and explained to Quill with a smile on his lips.
Quill's gaze landed on Sam's hand. It only lasted for two seconds before he looked away. However, his act was still captured by Sam's sharp eyes. He quietly looked at Quill as he waited for his next move. Unfortunately, he didn't. Quill's eyes turned cold once more as his voice was emotionless.
"If that's the case, I won't force it then." After that, he drove off.
Vera stared at the back of the car for a long tbefore she cto her senses. It seemed that Quill drove himself that day. Why hadn't Nash driven him to the party? "Why are you still dreaming? Let's go." Sam said.
Sam held Vera and walked to the other side. Vera saw that his car was parked not far away, and her chaotic mind gradually becclear.
She didn't get into Quill's car, but she was getting into Sam's. What would that mean? As Vera thought about this, she suddenly stopped walking.
"About that..." Vera uttered.
Sam stopped and looked at her in confusion.
Vera awkwardly pursed her lips and waved at him. "I think you should head back first. I just remembered that I have something to talk to Minerva about, so I'll be heading back inside." Vera said. "What do you need to see her about? How long would it take? I'll wait for you here." Sam insisted.
Sam didn't suspect anything upon hearing her words. He thought that she really had something to discuss with Minerva. After all, she had a close relationship with Minerva, and everyone knew about it.
Vera was at a loss for words.
She couldn't believe he couldn't understand she was kindly rejecting his offer and didn't want to get into his car. Vera didn't want to be too straightforward with her words as she knew that he was gkind to her, so she tried to hint at him.
"Well, I'm seeing her about something very important and it might take quite stime. I don't feel good about you waiting forfor so long. You should just head hfirst." Vera explained. Sam responded with a poker face and said, "I don't mind. I have nothing to do anyway." Vera was speechless once again.
"Dude, you are so annoying!!!" Vera exclaimed in her heart.
Could he calm down and try to understand what she was hinting at? Could he not be so clueless?! He was really pissing her off! Vera clenched her teeth and lost her patience totally. She glared at him and yelled, "Fine! You can wait as long as you like!" As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked inside. It wasn't until Sam saw her exasperated figure that he suddenly realized what had happened.
It turned out that she was rejecting him.
She didn't want to get into Quill's car, and she didn't want to get in his car either.
Sam could only laugh bitterly in his heart when he finally understood the situation. After looking at the figure in front of him for a moment, he stepped forward and chased after her. Sam was tall, and his legs were long, so he quickly caught up with Vera and stopped in front of her.
"Stop throwing a tantrum. I'll send you home. If you go in and look for Young Madam now, she probably doesn't have tto see you either," Sam insisted.
Vera stood still and looked toward Sam as soon as she heard him.
"What do you mean?" Vera asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"She's with Young Master Yardley right now. Are you sure you want to go in and disturb them?" Sam explained.
Vera fell silent.
Minerva was with Maddox? She could not help but shudder at the thought of Maddox's icy cold expression. She could just forget about the idea.
However, it was too late for her to take back what she had said. "I'll just wait for her inside then I'll falk to her inside 'll when she's available. Even if she isn't, there are so many rooms here. I'll just stay overnight or sleep with Auntie Stark." Vera said. As the both of them were talking, a man and a woman cout of the room. It was Kelly and Aaron.
Upon looking at Vera, Kelly waved to her.
"You haven't left yet? I saw you walking out earlier, and I thought you were almost home," Kelly said.
Vera's eyes lit up upon hearing her words. She quickly ran to Kelly and Aaron as if they were her only hope. "Are the both of you heading home? Can you givea ride?" Vera begged. The both of them paused. Aaron's
expression turned odd even before Kelly could react. "Don't you... have someone behind you that can send ! you! you home? Why do you have to squeeze with us?" He finally found an opportunity to send his goddess home, and he wasn't going to let Vera be the third wheel. Vera didn't know what to say.
Kelly glanced at Aaron and said, "How could you say that? If you don't agree, you can go hyourself. Vera and I can get a cab." Vera nodded quickly and said, "I agree." "What do you mean you agree? It's dangerous for two girls to get a cab at such a late hour. Moreover, it's not like you don't have a ride." Aaron explained.
No matter how upset he was, Aaron couldn't bear to let Kelly take a cab hthat late. Therefore, he reluctantly agreed.
However, Sam walked over at that exact moment.
"I'm sorry for disturbing the both of you. I'll send her home. You guys should go ahead." "Sam!" Vera gnashed her teeth and shouted at him. However, Sam smiled and said nothing.
