Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

A bribe? Vera's expression changed. Benedict had just indirectly admitted that he was pursuing Kimberly.

Oh my gosh.

Vera's eyes blinked for a moment. She was confused by the situation. It was complicated. There had to be srelationship between Maddox and Kimberly. But Benedict was pursuing Kimberly now. Although Vera didn't think that Maddox was the reason Kimberly got into the company, she thought Kimberly had a similar identity as them.

But now, it seemed that Kimberly's identity wasn't as simple as that, Vera thought to herself.

Otherwise, how could the two brothers of the Yardley family...

Vera coughed lightly. She stammered, "Vice President Yardley, are you serious? Although... we are ordinary people and you may think of us as... I would like to explain ourselves. We have our pride. Kimberly has just been demoted by President Yardley, and now you..." She was struggling to form her words. She didn't know how to say it as she was afraid that she would offend Benedict.

But Benedict understood what she meant and he smiled slightly.

He said, "I know what you mean. Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person." "Do you really know what I mean?" Vera asked skeptically.

Vera thought about it for a moment. Indeed, Benedict was unlikely to be that kind of person. He seemed to be very gentle towards everyone in the company, but he had never really been in love with anyone. The consensus was that Vice President Yardley would undeniably be the most gentle lover.

However, Vera always felt that his smile was not sincere and it felt distant.

After pondering for a while, Vera added, "Kimberly is a very serious person when she does anything." Benedict did not say anything, he only smiled as they both walked further.

Kimberly went straight upstairs to look for Sister Crystal. When she pushed the door open and went in, Kimberly was stunned.

Because on this day, the person in the office was not Sister Crystal, but... Maddox.

"Why are you here?" asked Kimberly.

Maddox looked up and stared at her coldly.

He retorted, "What's wrong? Did this place becyours after I gave you the contract?" Kimberly said helplessly, "I didn't mean that!" After that, she went over and put the things on the table. She simply didn't expect that Maddox would show up here.

Moreover, he had actually spoken to her. He didn't even talk to her when they were at home. Maddox then said sarcastically, "Didn't you want to return the contract and bank card to me? Why did you pick them up again? Do you ever say the truth?" Kimberly felt hurt by his words. She bit her lip lightly and didn't look at him.

She replied, "I can't control what you think. I have nothing to say." Maddox spoke again, "Why? Did I say something wrong?" Kimberly did not answer.

Maddox simply stared at her with an indifferent gaze.

Then, Kimberly took a deep breath and said, "Since Sister Crystal is not here, I'll leave first." As soon as she walked out of the door, she bumped into Sister Crystal. "Hey, Kimberly, you're here? I just told Maddox that you're coming soon. I didn't expect you to cso late today. These are the coffee I bought earlier. Please pass one to Maddox." After that, Sister Crystal went past her and headed towards the other side as she said, "I'll go and see how they are doing." Kimberly didn't know what to say.

She couldn't move with the two cups of coffee in her hands.

Finally, she went back into the office and placed them in front of Maddox.

"Take your things away," Maddox said impassively. Kimberly explained, "No, this is from Sister Crystal." "Only one cup is mine," said Maddox.

Kimberly said exasperatedly, "You are being childish!" She was irritated and immediately stormed out with her coffee in hand. Maddox's sharp eyes fell on her back as he said, "The performance of the mall declined after you took over." Kimberly replied, "I know. You don't need to remind me. I am trying to find a solution." Maddox jeered, "Are you thinking of a way to make it even worse?" Kimberly clenched her fists and looked into Maddox's eyes.

She said, "You don't have to be so harsh to me. I've been studying hard with Sister Crystal recently. If you think that I'm not qualified for this job, you can take the contract back. I'll gladly give it back to you." Maddox stared at her. Her temper hadn't changed at all. She was still as stubborn as a mule. He had only commented that the performance had declined and she wanted to surrender the contract back to him. Kimberly did not say anything anymore after he went silent.

When Sister Crystal cback, she could sense the awkward atmosphere. She glanced at both Maddox and Kimberly and said, "Shall we go out for dinner later?" Hearing this, Kimberly's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Maddox out of the corner of her eye.

If they had dinner together, maybe it would ease the tension between her and Maddox. Then, she could explain to him what had happened that day. Even though a few days had passed, Kimberly still held it in her heart. After all, those words she had hurled at him... She had to admit that they were too harsh.

Kimberly still felt that she had crossed the line.

Therefore, she thought that Sister Crystal's suggestion was pretty good.

She looked at Maddox expectantly from the corner of her eye. However, Maddox's cold voice rang out through the room.
