Minerva didn't have any other purposes for discussing this matter with Quill.
She just hoped that he would take this matter seriously and deal with it properly.
After all, this had to do with their credibility. Besides, their families used to be close friends. It wouldn't be appropriate if they pretended not to know about it.
Moreover, Minerva also hoped that Quill could settle Yulia's issue so that Vera didn't have anything to worry about.
Being Quill's sister and Vera's best friend, Minerva felt exhausted having to deal with the matter like that.
Quill didn't expect Minerva to take so many aspects into account.
At first, he had indeed not cared about this matter. However, after how Minerva had put it, Quill also realized something off about the matter.
Women were indeed more meticulous, and they knew each other better.
He thought Yulia didn't take the engagement seriously. But why would she look for him at a time like this? If it weren't to seek help, what else could it be?
"You think what I said makes sense, don't you?"
Quill glanced at her and said, "You're all grown up now."
Minerva said, "It's very obvious, alright? What do you plan to do now? Do you want to deal with this yourself, or do you want me to deal with it for you?"
Actually, Minerva wanted to deal with it for him. With Yulia's lofty character, if Quill were to deal with this himself, things would look bad after being rejected by someone she liked.
Besides, Minerva was concerned that Quill would be too straightforward and hurt her if he were to deal with it.
"Help me deal with it?" Quill looked at her with a funny expression. "Are you sure?"
"I'm very sure. I am a girl too; I'll understand Miss Yulia better. Besides, I also feel that it would be appropriate for me to help her out at the right time. She has the talent. It would be too much of a waste to let her start from the bottom."
"Yeah. Yulia is indeed a very talented person. Plus, she was by Mr. Maxwell's side for so many years. She must've learned a lot." "So, does that mean you've agreed to let me settle it?" "If you want to."
"Okay. That settles it then."
After that, they continued to eat their meal quietly. Then, Maddox called. With a cold tone, He said Jelly Bean wouldn't stop crying and that Minerva should return home as soon as possible.
Minerva took note of the background noise, but she didn't hear any baby crying at all.
He was lying.
However, she didn't want to expose him. She answered, "I'll go back once I'm done eating."
"Are you done eating?"
Minerva looked at the dishes on the table and said, "Almost. I probably need another 5 minutes."
"Alright. I'll wait for you outside."
Minerva was flabbergasted.
Had he come all the way here?
"Where are you now? Don't tell me you're outside the restaurant, are you?"
Maddox fell silent for a moment and replied her in the affirmative.
Minerva was rendered speechless.
After she hung up the phone, Minerva told Quill about it. He couldn't help but ask, "He can't stand a second away from you, can he? Though I think it's good that he came looking for you even though you're only out for a meal. In that case, you should go first."
Minerva walked out somewhat unwillingly in his arms.
On the way back, Minerva took the initiative to tell Maddox about what they had discussed earlier.
Then she said she wanted to ask Yulia to work in Yardley Corporation. Maddox frowned as he listened to her.
"That's Quill's business. Why are you the one dealing with this?"
"Because he's my brother. I'm afraid he won't deal with it well. Hence I want to do it for him. What's the problem with that?"
Maddox frowned; he thought he should give Quill a call. How could a grown man depend on his sister to deal with his matters?
However, it was as if Minerva knew what he was thinking. She immediately stopped his thoughts and said, "If you dare call Quill and tell him anything, you will not be allowed into my room from tonight onward."
Maddox said, "What do you mean, your room? It's our room."
"Oh really? If you dare to call Quill and spout any nonsense, I'll move out."
Maddox was speechless.
"I am firstly a member of the Hanover family. Only then am I a part of the Yardley family. Therefore, I have to deal with this matter."
She insisted, and there was nothing Maddox could do to stop her. In the end, he let her have her way.
So, Minerva contacted Yulia the next day to ask how she was doing with finding a job. Yulia said she had sent out her resumes, and she was waiting for responses. Minerva then mentioned a vacancy in her husband's company; perhaps she could try it out.
After that, Yulia fell silent for some time. She then replied, "Minerva, I know you are trying to help me, but... like I said, I don't want any help from anyone. I hope to restore the Maxwell family to its former glory on my own. I let my parents down. So, thank you for the offer, but I cannot accept it."
Minerva said, "Yulia, you're mistaken. I have nothing to do with the vacancy. I just thought you should give it a try. Since you've submitted your resume to so many companies, what's one more? Besides, I'm sure you're well aware of your capabilities. What happens afterward would be entirely up to the company. This doesn't count as helping you, does it?"
