Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 422

Chapter 422

Eloise had also hurried over, her eyes filled with anxiety. "Miss Vera, why did you suddenly run out onto the road? It's so dangerous! Are you okay?"

Hearing this, Madeline finally came back to her senses completely. She shook her head and said, "I was thinking about something just now. Thank you, I'll be leaving now."

Eloise and Sean felt that Madeline was behaving a bit weirdly and were a little worried, but Madeline had quickly gotten on a taxi by the side of the road.

She got off when the car arrived at the building of Whitman Corporation. While on the way, Madeline had still been thinking about what she heard before.

Could it be?

'The grave that Jeremy brought me to the last time definitely has nothing to do with me.

'He hates me so much. Why would he give me a grave, let alone be so anxious as to have gone crazy when he couldn't replace my ashes?' Madeline thought to herself silently while walking toward the doors.

As soon as she was about to step in, a strong smell of perfume suddenly wafted over. Madeline's shoulder was then hit hard.

"What's the matter with you? Do you walk without looking at what's in front of you?" A woman's dissatisfied voice sounded domineering.

Madeline raised her eyes and saw a bright, enthralling face.

The woman in front of her was dressed sexily and had delicate makeup on. Her taro purple hair reached to her waist in waves.

From a distance, she had superb manners and was a beautiful person.

However, after taking a closer look, she was a bit tackier while the perfume on her body was too strong.

Moreover, her eyes were filled with unparalleled arrogance and were extremely unfriendly.

Madeline calmly opened her mouth. "Lady, you ran into me."

"If you hadn't stood in front of me, why would I have bumped into you?" The woman looked at Madeline arrogantly, then folded her arms before smiling. "Are you an employee of Whitman Corporation? Do you know who I am? I'm one of the most important women in Mr. Whitman's life. Can you afford to offend me? Hmph!"

The woman glared at Madeline pretentiously and turned around roughly as soon as she was done talking.

One of the most important women in Jeremy's life...?

Madeline smiled at that arrogant view of her back. She was too lazy to argue and went toward the VIP elevator on the side.

After exiting the elevator, she walked straight to Jeremy's office. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Jeremy sitting against the light at his desk while reviewing documents.

The corners of his eyebrows were softened by the warm sun. It took off the cold and sharp edge he usually had in front of others, giving him a little more of the rare warmth. The rarely worn white shirt also added a little sunshine to his cold temperament.

Thinking of her plan, Madeline turned around and entered the pantry to make a cup of coffee for Jeremy.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the door of the pantry, she smelled the pungent perfume again. In the next second, the arrogant woman ran into her once more.

Plop!

The coffee cup in Madeline's hand was knocked off.

"Ah! My limited-edition cashmere jacket!" The woman screamed angrily. Raising her eyes to see Madeline, she got even angrier. "It's you again!"

She glanced at the overturned coffee cup angrily. "Just you wait. I'll have Mr. Whitman fire you, you blind secretary!"

Secretary?

Madeline took a look at what she was wearing. Had she worn too professional-looking clothes today?

Jeremy seemed to have heard the noise just then. He went over, his worldly temperament stringing along his strong aura.

When the woman turned around and saw Jeremy, she greeted him happily like a bee that had seen a flower. "Cousin Jeremy!" she called out in a soft tone. "Cousin Jeremy, I missed you so much, did you know? As soon as I was done with my thesis, I flew over to come look for you!"

The woman finished her words delicately, then stared at Madeline who was not far away.

"But I didn't expect to meet such a blind employee as soon as I got here. She not only ran into me twice, but she also dirtied my clothes. She didn't even apologize to me. It makes me so annoyed to look at her. You should fire her immediately!"
