Bang!

After closing the door, Minerva blocked Maddox from entering. Then, she put on her shoes and entered the house.

Because she had been walking outside with bare feet just now, her feet were dirty now. Minerva went to the bathroom to wash her feet.

It wasn't until she had finished preparing the food and brought it to the table for herself, that Minerva realized that the house was really empty.

Vera was not sitting on the opposite side, and Beanie was not by her side.

The man who would remind her to eat more wasn't there either.

Minerva picked up a piece of vegetable with her fork and sat there in a daze.

About a minute later, Minerva snapped back from her trance and smiled at herself mockingly.

What was she thinking about?

They had just accompanied each other for two days. Was she already feeling lonely just because she was eating on her own now? Why would she have such thoughts?

Minerva shook her head helplessly. She put the vegetables into her mouth, only to replace that it was exceptionally bitter. It tasted like bitter medicine.

She frowned and took a bite of the fried pork ribs, but it still tasted the same.

After eating numbly for a long while, Minerva finally put down her spoon.

As expected, a meal was only enjoyable if there was someone else to share it with.

It was indeed lonely to eat alone.

Unfortunately, both Vera and Beanie were not there.

Minerva suddenly reached out and lightly hit her own head when she thought of a handsome face in her mind.

"Don't think about him anymore!"

"You fool!"

She had no appetite. She cleaned up the table and then went to take a shower. After that, she remembered the job she had received during the day, so she started making the drafts for a while. When she was finally done, Minerva finally smiled.

She then looked at the time and realized that it was already late. There were no notifications on her phone. It seemed that Maddox had disappeared.

After thinking for a while, she turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Just when Minerva thought that Maddox would never show up in front of her again, she opened the door the next day and saw him.

He then sent her to the company as usual, brought her breakfast and asked Sam to bring her lunch. Everything remained the same.

In the afternoon, the manager of Blue Sky Company gave her a call as he wanted to have a look at the drafts. Minerva asked Vera to send the pictures she had drawn the night before to him. After Vera was done talking to Justin, she came over to Minerva.

"I've already seen the cost price and material that the other party requested. It's a little difficult to fulfill. Minerva..."

Vera wrote down Justin's request, sorted it out and handed it over to Minerva.

Minerva looked at it. She pursed her lips and thought about it.

"The price is fine, but..."

"But what?"

"Nothing, let's do it."

Vera pouted and asked, "Don't you think we will suffer losses if we do as told?"

"In business, you can't win every time. On the surface, it seems like a loss, but... This is the first time that our company has received such a large order. Moreover, if the future orders are the same, we can save a lot of effort. This is considered a win for us."

Upon hearing this, Vera suddenly understood.

"I understand. I'll tell him right away. If there are no problems, let's sign a contract."

"Alright."

When Vera was done with the discussion, it was already almost time to get off work. She thought that even if they were going to sign the contract, they would have to do it the next day.

Unexpectedly, just before they were about to get off work, Justin rushed to the office, saying that he would sign the contract with Minerva that day.

Although she was a little surprised, she still respected her client's decision.

"Mr. Yeager, about the contract..."

"Don't worry. I've already drafted the contract. Miss Hanover, don't you worry. The price offered by our company will definitely be satisfactory to you." Justin didn't come alone that day. He nodded slightly, and the assistant following behind him stepped forward and handed a contract to Minerva. Minerva looked at the contract and the offered price. She could not help but frown bit by bit.

Justin saw her frown and thought that there was something wrong with the contract. He quickly asked, "Miss Hanover, is something wrong?"

Minerva pressed her red lips together. It wasn't that something was wrong. It was just that the price offered by him was too good to be true. The price that they were discussing earlier felt more realistic to Minerva. Hence, she was unable to tell what was going on with him for a moment.

"Nothing's wrong, it's just that..." Minerva raised her head and looked at Justin. "This contract..."

"If you are not satisfied with the conditions in the contract, we can add more until you're satisfied."

Upon hearing this, Minerva was even more surprised.

"Mr. Yeager, I..."

"Miss Hanover, I have seen your work. I know that you are an outstanding designer abroad and I know about your past achievements. Our company is very eager to cooperate with you. Therefore, we hope you can accept these conditions without pressure."

So that was what it was.

Han Minerva felt much better after hearing his words.

After all, a lot had happened lately. She didn't know what the other party was up to. After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

When she thought about it, although the conditions were lucrative, it wasn't too much..

Finally, Minerva nodded and signed on it.

Both parties stamped on it and the contract was in effect.

Justin enthusiastically reached out his hand to her and said, "I'm very glad to cooperate with you, Miss Hanover. I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."

Minerva smiled at him and shook his hand. "Let's have a pleasant cooperation."

After seeing Justin off, Vera rubbed her hands happily and wondered, "After finishing this work, we should be able to make a lot of money, right? I thought that starting a company was tiring before, but now, I think that... It's not that bad. We can even make so much money."

Minerva stood rooted to the ground. She lowered her eyes and did not say anything. She was lost in thoughts.

"Minerva, what's wrong? Aren't you supposed to be happy after signing such a big order?"

"I just feel that... It's so surreal." Minerva pursed her red lips as she held the contract in her hands. "This order was too easy. The conditions given by the other party were too good. I'm a little worried." After listening to her words, Vera came over and took the contract from her hand.

"Are you worried that there is something wrong with the contract? You have looked at it several times. If there are any problems, you should be able to spot it."

Minerva shook her head. "I've read the contract several times. There shouldn't be any problems, but..."

"But what is it?"

"I have a bad feeling."
