"Hmph. She's my daughter so I can say anything I want about her. Don't you dare say anything about it." David was speechless.
Forget it, he was not going to reason with a woman.
"Well, our daughter seems to be seeing someone recently. I'm going to keep an eye on her." He wanted to tell Mabie to give Vera spersonal space, but he ended up keeping quiet about it because he figured that mothers and daughters had a closer bond so they could talk about that topic.
Vera didn't eat much throughout the day because she didn't feel hungry, probably due to being overexcited. She was oddly energetic. After taking a bath, she tried on the dress.
Surprisingly, the dress fit her figure very well, especially around her shoulders and her waistline.
The designer was very specific with his designs. It was only meant for young women, and he only made them in one size. Furthermore, he would only make one dress for each design and there would never be a second piece of the swork.
Vera was shocked when the dress fit her, and it meant that her figure was not bad.
It was fortunate for her. If she was to be slightly chubbier, the dress would have been too tight on her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe more she thought about it, the more she was thankful for the fact that she didn't eat much that day. If she did, her belly would stick out and it would not look good.
The banquet was held the day after tomorrow, so she went to Quill's office the next day as usual.
Although she chere every day, she would still politely greet the receptionist before going upstairs.
When she arrived at the front desk that day, she realized that there were six to seven girls gathered at the front desk. They all looked like employees of Hanover Corporation. She thought that they were dealing with something, so she didn't go forward to disturb them. Later, she was stopped by one of them.
"Hey, delivery girl. Wait a minute." Delivery girl? Vera stopped and doubtfully looked at the source of the voice. Was she referring to her? After all, she looked around and did not find anyone else who was delivering food.
Vera pointed at herself. A tall girl in the crowd nodded proudly and said, "Yes, you. Chere." She didn't know why the girl asked for her but out of politeness, Vera walked over.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" As soon as she approached, all the girls examined her impolitely. It seemed that they were going to eat her alive as they casted their eyes over her.
"What's going on?" Vera blinked her eyes and looked at these women who suddenly appeared.
She didn't know if it was her hallucination when she noticed that the gazes of these girls looking at her were full of hostility. When had she ever offended them? All of them looked at Vera. It was probably because the receptionist previously described her to them as a very average-looking girl, and she told them she could barely remember what she looked like. Therefore, these girls imagined her as an average-looking passerby. When they saw her in person, they felt bitter on the inside.
Vera was not as ugly as they thought, nor was she ordinary. She was wearing simple clothing, and it was obvious that she prioritized comfort over her looks. Despite that, she did not look plain, but she was nice to look at and she was youthful. Her eyes looked lively too.
Most of them had dark eye circles from working late nights. Although they used expensive skincare products, their skin couldn't be compared with the fair and flawless one of a young woman.
Vera's skin at the moment was moisturized and soft, making them jealous.
The crowd wasn't able to criticize her looks, so they could only criticize her career.
"I heard that you are a pasta restaurant owner?" "Yes, is there a problem?" Vera nodded and said.
"It's not a problem. Since you send President Hanover food delivery everyday, could you do it for us too?" "That's right. We want to have pasta too. Can you deliver it for us?" Vera was a little embarrassed. After the incident, she yelled at Quill about how she wouldn't be able to survive if she didn't do food delivery. After sthoughts about it, she realized that she didn't earn much from doing food deliveries.
There was already a huge crowd in the restaurant everyday, but they didn't earn much from doing food deliveries Furthermore, David had to travel back and forth to the elia restaurant a lot. If anything was to happen to him, it would not be worth it Therefore, she had decided to either only do food deliveries for regulars only or to stop doing food deliveries completely.
It was obvious that these people in front of her had never been to her restaurant.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Currently we don't have enough staff working at the restaurant so we won't be providing any delivery service at the moment. If you would like to have our food, you may cto the restaurant and dine in." "What? You don't provide delivery service? Then why are you delivering food to our President Hanover every day?" "Exactly, what do you mean you don't provide delivery service? Aren't you still coming here every day? Unless you think we are just employees and we are all womeSO you're not willing to deliver food for usbecause there's nothing you can get from us?" The girls looked at each other and then started laughing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"That's right. You're not a president of a company, and you aren't a man. There's nothing she can get from you, so why should she send food delivery for you?" "Hey, delivery girl, are you trying to becMrs. Hanover?" Vera didn't think much of it when they called her over, but as she watched them insult her, she finally understood why they were all gathered here that day. It was all because of her.
She soon figured out the whole thing and her expression turned cold as she listened to them belittle her.
wanting to be Mrs. Hanover or not doesn't have anything to do with you. I'm afraid that you are the ones trying to do that instead, therefore O you can't control yourselves from attacking me, right?" Perhaps it was because Vera looked obedient, so they didn't think that she would have such a sharp comeback. They were all stunned. The receptionist, who was hiding at the side, felt satisfied as she watched them.
She had always wanted to insult Vera, but she didn't dare to. Now that someone else was doing it for her, she felt thrilled in her heart. She figured saying a few harsh words to her wouldn't be a big deal. Since President Hanover had not confirmed his relationship with Vera, he wouldn't possibly make a big fuss over this.
"What are you talking about? Who says that we want to be Mrs.
Hanover? You're just and you re just a delivery girl Non't even have a proper profession. You stick to any man you see, so how you dare to criticize us?' Vera stared at them coldly. "I make money by working hard. Classism is long gone. Just because you've found an easy job, you think that you're a level above people who do manual labor, and you think you can just criticize them as you wish?" "You!" The girl was furious, and she wanted to fight her.
Vera took a step back instantly. Then, she suddenly paused after sthoughts.
"If you want to hit me, you can try. Let's see which one of us would be embarrassed. Also, letremind you about one thing. It's tforto delivery food for President Hanover and if he doesn't see me..." X
