Kimberly walked into the store and still felt uneasy to be here. Then, she asked awkwardly, "How has the business been recently?" The staff nodded and replied, "It's not too bad. Miss Shell, You are our boss now. However, you have never dropped by, so we have not been paid yet." Hearing this, Kimberly was stunned. She couldn't believe that the staff's salaries had been delayed all along just because the mall had a new owner.
The staff continued with teary eyes, "It's been over a week. I'm still waiting for my salary to pay my bills." Kimberly coughed lightly and said, "Then, how should I do it? Do you wantto transfer the money to you?" The staff shook her head, "No, no. Please head to the top floor." Kimberly nodded and replied, "Alright, I'll go and settle it." Kimberly then took the lift and went up to the top floor. It was very quiet compared to the mall downstairs. It felt like she had arrived at a totally different place. Stepping out of the lift, she noticed many staff members were busy with their work. They gave her a strange look and then looked away quickly.
Kimberly was very clueless as to what she should do or say, so she could only inform a random staff about her situation.
That staff heard her story and proceeded to lead her to an office.
"You can go in and ask someone for advice," the staff said.
Then, Kimberly knocked on the door and she heard a familiar female voice.
"Cin." Kimberly pushed the door open and poked her head in, asking, "Hello?" She was somewhat startled when she met the person's gaze.
The woman sitting in front of the desk interrupted her thoughts with a smile, "Hello, aren't you Maddox's assistant?" It was Sister Crystal, the girl who had helped with her makeup the other day.

I have been waiting for a long tfor you to show up." Kimberly echoed dumbly, "You have been waiting for me?" Sister Crystal replied, "Yes. Our shopping mall suddenly has a new owner. As an employee, of course, I am curious and eager to meet our new boss. I didn't expect it to be you." Search The Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Kimberly asked cautiously, "How did you know?" Sister Crystal smiled and answered, "It's a secret." She then turned around and walked inside, saying, "You're here to check the account, aren't you? I've sorted out the recent accounts. Shall I email them to you?" "No, there's no need." Kimberly faltered, "I'm just speaking for the employees downstairs. Their salaries have been delayed for a week. They seem to be quite anxious." Sister Crystal snorted, "Tsk, they're not the only ones who are anxious. My salary has been delayed too." Kimberly was confused, "How could this happen?" Sister Crystal answered matter-of-factly, "We're waiting for you to sign and approve of our salaries, New Boss." Sister Crystal put the salary form in front of her and said, "Take a look. You may sign it if you have no issue with it." Kimberly took the form in a daze and looked at it, somewhat puzzled.
She mumbled, "Urn..." Sister Crystal suddenly added, "By the way, this bank card is for you. The password is your birthday." Kimberly was speechless.
She took the bank card and stared at it. She was still dumbfounded at the entire situation.
She didn't know what was going on. She didn't understand why she was suddenly given a bank card. "The bank account contains the shopping mall's profit for this month," Sister Crystal explained. Later, Kimberly went to a nearby bank to check the balance in the account. Upon finding out that there was nearly tens of millions of dollars in it, she was startled and almost threw the card away in shock. So, she went back to Sister Crystal's office.
Kimberly said, "Did you givethe wrong card? There is tens of millions of dollars in this..." Sister Crystal looked at her strangely and replied, "No. This is a huge shopping mall and it's under Yardley Corporation. Tens of millions of dollars a month is considered as a small profit." Kimberly held her breath and quickly placed the bank card back on the table.
She could not accept the money. It was too much.
"What's wrong?" asked Sister Crystal.
Kimberly told her, "There's too much money here. I can't take it." Sister Crystal chuckled, "You are the owner of this place now. No one else can take it except you." Kimberly hesitated, "But..." Sister Crystal spoke again, "Although I don't know why Maddox would suddenly transfer the shopping mall's ownership to you, he must have his own reasons. The profit of the shopping mall this month is a little lower than before. Do you have any ideas to boost the sales? After all, it is not easy to manage such a huge shopping mall." "What?" Kimberly widened her eyes and thought, "Ideas?" She had never studied business before, so she didn't have knowledge in this aspect.
Thinking of this, Kimberly pursed her lips and retrieved the bank card.
"I'll give you an answer as soon as possible," Kimberly replied.
After that, Kimberly returned to the Yardley family. She couldn't find Maddox in his room, so she asked the maid where he was. Learning that he was in the study room, she then went to look for him. She walked up to him and placed the bank card on the desk.
There was a contract under the bank card.
Kimberly said, "This is the contract of the shopping mall, and this card has the month's profit." Maddox ignored her and remained silent. Kimberly waited for a while, but seeing that he wasn't responding, she turned around and started to leave.
He finally spoke, "I won't take back something that I've given out. I don't want it even if you deliver it back to me." Kimberly halted her footsteps and stood still. He seemed to mean something else.
She turned back around and said through gritted teeth, "Did you discuss withme? Did say you gave it to e? Pisay wanted it? This is such a huge mall! Look at the profits! How can I accept it? Do you really think that you can buyover with money?" Maddox looked up at her, his gaze cold and indifferent.

He said, "If that's the case, why did you bring these to me? My guess is you actually wanted it, t But you want to put on a show and pretend you don't want it." Kimberly was at a loss for a moment. Then, she said, "I didn't know you think so lowly of me!" His words had made her tremble with anger.
But then, she realized that he must have agitated her on purpose.
She had hurt him with her words the other day and she thought that he was getting back at her now.
She gave in and said, "Forget it! I couldn't care less about what you think of me. Anyway, I will not accept these." After that, Kimberly turned to leave.
However, as she approached the door, she heard a loud noise behind her.
As she turned to look, she saw that Maddox had thrown the contract and the bank card into the rubbish bin. Kimberly's eyes widened in disbelief.
She exclaimed, "Are you crazy? That's the shopping mall contract! And the card has tens of millions in it!" "Why? Do you feel bad about it?" Maddox looked at her coldly and said with a mocking sneer, "Why don't you pick them up then?" She clenched her fists tightly, her nails sinking deep into her palms. Kimberly looked at the man in front of her and her heart sank deeper into despair.
"Are you... are you happy when you humiliatelike this?" Kimberly asked, her voice trembling.
"This is the best way to deal with a woman like you," Maddox replied curtly.
"Fine. If you don't want it, just throw it away. Who cares?" Kimberly couldn't stand him anymore and shouted at e.
him at once. Her beautiful pair of eyes turned red with tears. After that, she spared him no glance and straightaway left the room. Maddox watched the petite figure walking away from him. His gaze gradually shifted towards the rubbish bin and he tightened his hands silently.
