Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"Did you know that the stactic would not work twice?11 Minerva did not succeed this time.

Maddox had anticipated her moves. As such, he restrained her leg movement as she wanted to kick him.

Maddox was much stronger than her. Minerva was able to harm him earlier on because Maddox was engrossed in her fragrant scent. Besides, he didn't expect that she would catch him completely off guard by kicking him in the nuts.

It wouldn't work on him if she used the stactics the second time.

Minerva scowled at him defiantly, "Letgo." Maddox smiled wickedly, "What will you do after I let you go? Continue to kickin the nuts? Do you think I'm so stupid that I'll fall for your trap?" Minerva took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

She bit her lower lip, whispering, "Mr. Yardley, I promise I won't do it again. Please letgo. Can we discuss work?" "Discuss work?" Maddox let out a chuckle. "Alright, let's talk about work." Minerva initially thought that he had agreed to it, but he was still restraining her movements, causing her to be unable to move.

Minerva stretched out her hands and shoved him away, but to no avail.

"Mr. Yardley, are you kidding me?11 Minerva was cold-eyed.

Maddox's eyes darkened as well. He bent his head forward, far too close for comfort. "Do you think I'm joking?" The entire office was enveloped in his icy aura. S~Earch the (F)indwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

Knock, knock.

There were startling knocks on the door at that moment.

Minerva said coldly, "Someone's coming." "Nobody will enter without my permission..." Before he finished his words, the office door was pushed open. The two shareholders, Paul and John cin together with livid faces. They were the ones who had been in a heated argument previously. "Let's find President Yardley! Anyway, I totally disagree with you!" "Well, let's go and ask President Yardley about his opinion! I really don't believe that he will listen to you!" They strutted in, yet they stopped simultaneously after witnessing the scene. They gaped at Maddox and Minerva in bewilderment.

Minerva gritted her teeth. "Didn't you say that they wouldn't cin?" Maddox's mouth twitched. D*mn, these two old men! His eyes were gleaming mischievously and he curled his lip. "Wait for me." After he finished speaking, he wrapped his arm around Minerva and pulled her to her feet. Subsequently, he pulled her behind him at once.

"President Yardley?" Paul felt a little awkward and subconsciously pulled at one of the ends of his moustache. John said with a smile, "Oh, President Yardley actually..." "Get out of here." However, Paul and John froze for a second as soon as they heard Maddox.

Their expression changed instantly. John shot him a stern look. "Maddox! Even if you are the president, you shouldn't despise the elders! Why are you ordering us to leave?" Paul solely took a step forward and stopped John. "We have interrupted President Yardley. Certainly, he won't be pleased and wants us to get out of here." "Cagain?" "I mean, we will make a move now." "You, you don't get along withat work, but you even..." "Well, Paul. You have caused a disturbance to President Yardley. Hurry up and leave. Look at his menacing look. Tut-tut..." The two of them reluctantly left the office under Maddox's murderous gaze.

Maddox had a dark look on his face after Paul and John's encounter.

Bang! The door of the office was closed again. Maddox then turned back, pursing his lips.

Minerva distanced herself away from him. She stood up on the other side of the sofa and straightened her clothes. Her hair and clothes were in a mess due to the previous incident. After straightening her clothes, she raised her hand, sweeping the strands of hair from her cheek to the back.

Maddox was unable to take his eyes off her when she gestured.

Although he had acknowledged her beauty five years ago, unexpectedly, she had changed that much.

Maddox gave her a long hard stare.

It was only then that...

Minerva finished straightening her clothes and turned to him.

"Mr. Yardley, can we talk about work now?" Maddox stuck out his tongue, feeling a little dissatisfied that he did not manage to kiss her. However, he would take it slow as there would be a tforthat.

As he thought of this, Maddox put his hand in his pocket. "Sure." As soon as she heard him, Minerva walked towards the door. Maddox furrowed his brows unconsciously.

Subsequently, Minerva opened the door and walked back. Maddox sneered out of the blue "Do you have to be so afraid of me? Do you think I'll take advantage of you?" Minerva paused. She cursed him silently. Wasn't he planning to do so? There was something creepy about the way he looked at her.

To her, he was embarrassing himself.

Minerva took the files out of her bag and placed them on the table.

"We can start now." It was only then that Maddox walked over and sat before her on the couch.

"Mr. Yardley, are you planning to design soutfits for yourself or for your family?" Maddox couldn't resist raising his eyebrows, replying, "Family? Are you concerned about my family?" Minerva was rendered speechless.

After a while, she smiled and answered, "Mr. Yardley, you have misunderstood me. As your designer, I have the right to understand your request. By the way... please callShelly." Maddox said, "Oh, isn't Minerva your name?"

Minerva was indeed her name. After she stopped addressing herself as essing herselfas Kimberly five years ago, she was granted the nof Minerva by the Hanover family. According to Quill, it was memorable as the entire Hanover family had named her together.

Nonetheless, to Minerva, not only was this ngiven to her by her family, it would also allow her to start all over again.

She would reset her life.

She was neither the old Kimberly nor setting her hopes on Maddox.

"When I'm at work, I would prefer that you callShelly. Thank you." X
