Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"What is this?" Mabie had never seen such a big diamond before, so she was rather dazed when she grabbed Vera's hand, "Vivy?" Somewhat shy, Vera mumbled, "Mom, don't ask." "Did Quill give it to you?" Vera nodded.

"He proposed?" Vera nodded again.

Mabie's breathing becrather irregular, "And you said yes?" Hearing this, Vera's face turned bright red, and her gaze flitted left to right, "I... I'm still considering it." "You're still considering?" Mabie couldn't help raising her eyebrows and teased her, "Yo, when have you learned to be reserved? Why hadn't you given a second thought when you pursued him back then? And now you want to think about it when he has proposed to you?" Vera snorted and pouted; what was she to do when he had proposed out of the blue. Even though she wasn't the type to care about rituals, he shouldn't have put the ring on her so hastily. No way she'd say yes so simply.

"Of course I have to think about it. If I said yes without a second thought, then wouldn't he have gotten off lightly?" Vera realized Quill was much more patient with her than she'd imagined after the experience on the train. Hence she wanted to be petulant and feel what it'd be like to be spoiled. Just thinking about it was enough to elate her.

"Silly girl. Just follow your heart. No matter what, as long as you are happy, so will we." Vera smiled and hugged Mabie by the shoulder, "Thank you for understanding. I love you guys." "Alright, that's enough." Mabie patted her hand. Although she acted displeased, her heart was filled with warmth and smiles.

Nearly a week had passed by the tQuill returned to the company.

As he had put off a lot of work, he hadn't a second to spare. It was two days after by the the got all the piled- up work done.

He was exhausted, but he didn't have a successor, nor was anyone from the Hanover family trustworthy. Hence he could only shoulder the company's affairs alone. Because of recent events, Vera had spoken out of anger.

But she must have kept them bottled up for a long time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been that aggrieved when she said them. This was something he had to take to heart.

Therefore, Quill told Juliette to only hand him exceptionally important work and let the subordinates deal with everything else.

Flabbergasted, Juliette asked, "Let them handle everything else? Are you sure, President? But those geezers in the board of directors..." "Keep a close eye on them. Just turn a blind eye as long as they don't cause a scene." It was inevitable that someone would do petty tricks, especially in a company this big. Quill would look away as long as no one from the board did anything unsalvageable.

All in all, their efforts had to match their salary.

Seeing how determined he was, she knew it'd be fruitless to say anymore. Hence, she nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll keep a watchful eye on them. But this will increase my workload, President, and I have a family to feed. Do I get a raise?" "Of course." Juliette had always been rather straightforward. Even when she liked Quill, she wouldn't be pretentious around him. If she thought her work was laborious, she would ask for a raise directly.

Quill trusted her, and she had proven how workable she was. She had been working with him for years, so he agreed every tshe aske We for it.

That included this tas well. Quill then continued, "Besides that, I'll get you gifts when I get married and also other bonuses." Hearing this, Juliette's eyes sparkled.

But something else caught her attention. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "You're getting married? You successfully proposed this week?" Quill's expression turned cold. He pursed his lips before saying, "Not yet, but I will." Hearing this, Juliette smiled and said, "Okay then, I look forward to your good news. Make sure you have the gift ready by then." Later, Juliette suddenly recalled a matter and said, "President Hanover, Miss Minerva cto look for you a few days ago. But she left after knowing you weren't around." "Alright, I'll give her a call later." "Oh, by the way, she and Yulia met, and their conversation seemed to have turned sour." Yulia.

Hearing that, Quill's gaze darkened. He had planned to deal with her after he was done with his work.

He really wanted to know how the rumor about their engagement spread.

Vera was extremely aggrieved when she had mistaken herself as a m mistress! She even fled away by train and threw her SIM card away. In the end, she returned to him when she realized it was all a misunderstanding.

But she would not jump to conclusions for no reason. There would be no smoke without a fire.

Quill drummed his fingers on the table as his thoughts wandered.

"Alright, I'll take care of it." Soon Yulia received the news that Quill wanted to see her, not in the company but at a cafe after work.

When she received the news, her heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling welled up in her heart.

He asked to meet her outside instead of in his company.

Based on her knowledge of Quill, he probably wanted to have a serious conversation with her.

And the topic of their conversation would be...

Quill's disappearance and appearance in the company indicated that the problem had been solved, and he also probably knew the deets. Thinking of this, Yulia's heart sank. She clenched the mouse as her mind grew chaotic.

Suddenly, she recalled what Minerva told her.

If she was willing, a better life awaited her.

Was that right? Would a life without Quill be better?

Yulia had loved Quill ever since she was a child and the feeling never stopped even when she moved m abroad. She was the daughter of the Maxwell family, she had many suitors. However, Quill was all she cared about. She had loved him for such a long tuntil it becpart of her flesh and bone. Could she really let go just like that? Thinking of this, Yulia slowly closed her eyes, and tears gently trickled down her face.
