Vera wanted to build a good relationship with Marianne, so she took the initiative to accompany Marianne to Aurous University to sign the contract, but she did not expect that Marianne would want to come to Thompson First after signing the contract. This decision really shocked her.
Although Vera had come to Aurous Hill in order to find Charlie, she was not ready to meet Charlie at the moment, so she was absolutely unwilling to come to Thompson First.
Fortunately, the back row of the SUV was covered with privacy tinting, so she stayed in the car and waited for Marianne, using the excuse that she was a little unwell.
After Marianne had gotten out of the elevator, Madam Marilyn opened the sliding door on the right side of the back of the car. Marianne got into the car and said to the two with a smile, “Sorry to keep the both of you waiting. Let’s go.”
Vera heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “It wasn’t that long, it was just five to six minutes.”
Marianne nodded and asked her with concern, “Didn’t you have a stomach ache just now? How are you feeling now?”
Vera hurriedly said, “I’m already feeling much better. I should be fine.”
Marianne said with a smile, “Perhaps it’s because your period is coming soon. When do you usually have your period?”
Vera said slightly embarrassedly, “My... My period usually starts during these couple of days of every month...”
“No wonder.” Marianne looked as if she understood Vera’s pain and said with a smile, “You have to drink more hot water today to avoid catching a cold. You should also avoid strenuous exercise.”
“Okay.” Vera quickly agreed and then said to Madam Marilyn, “Madam Marilyn, let’s go back quickly. I’m already hungry.”
Madam Marilyn nodded and said with a smile, “It only takes about ten minutes for us to go back. We can eat when we get home.”
With that said, she drove the SUV and was about to drive out of the underground parking lot.
Charlie had already parked the BMW in an empty parking space not far in front of the SUV. Since Hiroshi had not bought a rightful parking space when he had bought the house, Charlie could only park the car at the specially designated temporary parking lots.
