Maddox stared at the woman in front of him. He saw her panicking and averting her gaze.
Meanwhile, Minerva did not dare to look at Maddox. She was so embarrassed that he saw her underwear hanging on his coat.
He even asked her if she was a pervert.
Minerva really wanted to cover her face and cry. Maddox must think that she's a pervert. She raised her head and looked at Maddox pitifully.
"I... I didn't do it on purpose. It was an accident," She tried to explain.
Minerva's beautiful eyes were normally icy, but when she looked at him with a pitiful look in her gaze, it made him feel that she was even more charming and cute. Monica had made such an expression to him previously, but he only felt annoyed when he saw her and hoped that she could stay away from him.
Maddox even wondered to himself, "Does every woman like to make such an expression? Do they think that they will look cute doing this? Do they think that men will be soft-hearted after they make this sort of expression?" As a matter of fact, the effects of such an expression... was dependent on who was making it.
For example, he felt that Minerva was quite... cute indeed.

Minerva reached out reflexively and wrapped her arms over her chest. "What, what are you doing?" "I remember I've asked you whether you've entered the company for me, yet you've always stubbornly denied it." Maddox narrowed his eyes. He reached out to pinch a strand of hair on her cheek and continued, "I've found out the truth now." Minerva stared at Maddox dumbfoundedly, her eyes wide open in shock. Maddox was just right in front of her. "You hid my coat in your closet, and you even..." Before he could continue, Minerva felt so humiliated that she reached out to cover his mouth.
"Alright, you can stop talking now!" This was too embarrassing! She didn't expect that this would happen! The moment Maddox's lips made contact with Minerva's palm, his entire body froze as if he had been struck by lightning.
However, Minerva's attention was all on the incident, and she didn't notice Maddox's reaction after she covered his mouth. She pulled her hand back quickly after he stopped talking and explained, feeling quite flustered, "I've already said that it was an accident. Don't talk about it again. I'll give it back to you after I've straightened it out, so wait foroutside." With that, Minerva pushed him out of the room without listening to whether he agreed to her or not. With a loud bang, the door was locked from the inside.
Fortunately, Maddox managed to steady himself after he took several steps backwards. After the door was closed, he stood there in a daze. After a long time, he reached upwards to touch his thin lips subconsciously. Meanwhile, Minerva's face was burning hot after locking herself in the room. She knew her face was very red without needing to look in the mirror. Gosh, she had made a huge mistake! She had not thought about this earlier. Instead, she should have shut the door firmly when she entered to prevent Maddox from seeing it. D*mn it! The bigger issue was that she did not expect Maddox to go back on his word.
He clearly said that he didn't want the coat anymore at work that day, but now he call the way to her house just to get the coat back.
He was the pervert here, right? However, Minerva didn't dare to waste any more time. She ran over to the wardrobe quickly and opened it, an exasperated expression appearing on her face as she saw the red lingerie hanging from the coat. She could not bear to look at it anymore. She quickly grabbed the underwear off the coat and simply threw it in the corner of her bed. Then, she patted the suit hard to ensure that it was clean although it wasn't dirty at all.
After that, Minerva took the coat and walked towards the door.
She took a deep breath before opening the door.
However, she did not expect Maddox to be standing there, staring at her with a cold expression.
Although she felt awkward, she still stepped forward stiffly.
"This... is your coat," She said.
Maddox looked down and his gaze fell on the coat in her hand. He did not reach out to take it.
Minerva studied his expression carefully. Could it be that he was still disgusted about what happened? "Don't worry. All my undergarments are cleaned regularly. It's definitely not dirty," She added.
After saying that, she realized that only a pervert would want the coat after seeing that. Clearly, Maddox wasn't one of them, right? Thinking of this, Minerva suggested carefully, "Why don't... I send it to the laundry again?" After that, Maddox looked up at her and said coldly, "There's no need to," Then, he reached for his suit.
Minerva could not bear to part with the coat as Maddox reached out to take it. She bit her lower lip and told him, "I remember you said that you have mysophobia, and that you did not want the coat back even i I have cleaned it." Maddox paused and glanced at her, his eyes seething with a dangerous light.
Minerva bit her lower lip, unwilling to give up.
"Was I mistaken back then?" She asked.
Huh, what a greedy woman indeed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, Maddox sneered, "I've thought about it carefully. This coat is so expensive, so I won't give it to you even if I don't want it anymore." After that, he raised his brows again and snorted, "Moreover, who knows if you'll do something weird to my coat if I leave it here?" When he emphasized the word weird, he saw Minerva's cheeks and ears turn even redder.
"Who would do something weird to your suit? I already said that it was an accident," She argued.
Either way, Maddox snatched the suit back and replied faintly.
"Who's to say whether it was an accident or on purpose." "You!" Minerva was pissed.
She wanted to preserve her dignity, but it seemed that there is no use crying over spilled milk. After he took the coat back, she was still unwilling to let go. But soon, Minerva thought of something and asked, "You call the way.... to get this coat?" Maddox only glanced at her and said, "Do you think I'm here to see you?" Minerva was rendered speechless.
She really thought that he had cto see her, but she didn't expect that he was here for his coat instead.
"It's very expensive." Maddox suddenly said. He was stressing it as if he was afraid that she would not believe him.
There was no way he could let Minerva know that he had driven here without realizing it.
However, Minerva's Facebook messenger suddenly rang with an notification, She picked it up and glanced at it. Then, she couldn't help but smile. Meanwhile, Maddox was still holding that coat. He frowned when he saw the smile on her lips and asked, "Who is it?" Could it be Geoffrey? That blabbermouth?
Upon hearing this, Minerva quickly Kand put her phone away. She looked at Maddox and suggested, "It's almost evening. Do you... do you want to stay for dinner?" X
