Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 198

After waiting for a while, Vera was back with two plates of food. She put a plate in front of Kimberly.

"This is yours, and this is mine. I got you a larger portion since you've been through a lot yesterday." Vera was proud of herself and she asked smugly, "What do you think? I treat you the best, right?" Kimberly looked at the extra piece of chicken on her plate and sight helplessly, "Yes."

"Alright. Have you thought about how to tell me the story? Hurry up, I want to know everything."

Kimberly knew Vera's intention, but... things were simply too complicated. She didn't know where to start.

Thinking of this, she could only say, "This is not a good place to talk about it. People might hear us. By then, things will get messy again..."

After thinking about it, Vera nodded in agreement, "You got a point. If things got out, you might be in danger. Forget it, let's keep it for another day."

"Thank you, Vera."

Vera smiled and waved her hand, "Don't worry about it. We're friends after all."

Then, she added, "By the way, I think you should stay away from Sylvia. Did you hear what she said to Arnold Corporation's young master last night? I know that you are besties. But I still want to remind you that she's not a good person. Please be careful."

When Kimberly heard Vera criticizing Sylvia, she furrowed her brows.

"Vera, you know that we shouldn't be commenting about people behind their backs."

"I know, but I can't help it. Whenever I look at her, I despise her even more. And when I meet her, the feeling gets stronger. Did you know? My gut feeling is always accurate. You need to trust me on this." Kimberly couldn't bear to listen any longer and she stood up at once. Vera was surprised and she calmed her down quickly.

"Okay, fine. I'll stop. But I'm doing this for you. Last night, she tried her best to win the competition while I tried my best to search for you. If it wasn't for me... Hmph!"

As she spoke, Vera picked up a piece of meat and chewed on it angrily.

Kimberly said, "I'm grateful for what you did. Let me buy you lunch someday."

"I'll be waiting."

After they had finished their lunch, they went back to work.

When Kimberly returned to her department, she saw Valeria standing next to her desk. Valeria has always spent her time working beside Benedict, so there were a lot of people surrounding this famous figure. "How is Vice President Yardley actually like? He looks so gentle. Does he have a girlfriend?" "Sister Valeria, which type of woman does he like?"

Valeria was annoyed by this group of people as soon as she entered. However, it wasn't good for her to throw a tantrum. It wouldn't be good for her image. So when she finally saw Kimberly, she hurriedly stood up and exclaimed, "I've been waiting for you."

Kimberly stood still and looked at her in confusion.

"You have been promoted. Vice President Yardley ordered me to bring you to your office," said Valeria.

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

Why was Valeria saying this in front of everyone? People might start commenting on Kimberly again. But then again, everyone already knew about her promotion. One way or another, she would always be picked on in the office.

Kimberly pursed her lips and said coldly, "I'm doing pretty well here, let me be."

Valeria walked up to Kimberly and challenged her, "That won't do, Miss Shell. I'm not asking for your permission. I'm giving you ten minutes to pack your stuff."

Was this a threat?

Then, the people around started to say, "Gosh, Miss Shell. This is such a good opportunity. Why are you putting on an act? Do you want Vice President Yardley to come over personally?"

"That's right. Please don't cross the line. You are lucky enough to get promoted by Vice President Yardley. Why don't you appreciate it?"

They were all looking at Kimberly judgmentally. In short, they were all implying how ungrateful Kimberly was and that she had no right to reject the offer.

When Kimberly thought of this, she smiled and retorted, "If you all are so eager, one of you can always take my place. Am I right, Assistant Valeria?"

After that, Kimberly went straight to her seat and continued to work. She showed no intention of packing up at all.

Someone spoke up, "That's right, Assistant Valeria. Why don't you try persuading Vice President Yardley about letting us take her place? Miss Shell is such an ungrateful person." Valeria looked at Kimberly helplessly. After all these years of working as Benedict's assistant, she knew what Benedict had in mind. She understood the situation when she saw the way he had looked at Kimberly. When he told her to bring Kimberly to the office, Valeria knew that she should treat Kimberly nicely. Although Kimberly was rejecting the offer blatantly, she didn't dare to say anything harsh to her.

In the end, Valeria made everyone leave them alone. She then walked towards Kimberly and started persuading softly, "My dear lady, I'm already here to escort you. Please, pack up and come with me." Kimberly stared directly into her eyes, frowning.

"Please tell Vice President Yardley to stop making things difficult for me. I love my job in this department. If he really cares about me, please ask him to reconsider." Valeria asked, "What's so good about being here? Vice President Yardley can personally protect you if you worked for him. Why don't you grab this opportunity?

Kimberly shook her head and answered, "That's not something I asked for, and it's not something I should do. You can leave."

In the end, since Kimberly was unshakable, Valeria had no choice but to leave.

Kimberly was quiet for the whole afternoon. When she got off work, she packed up her things and was ready to take a bus home. However, she saw a familiar person at the company's entrance. It was Jonathan.

Jonathan was pacing around by the entrance. When he saw Kimberly, he rushed towards her, only to be stopped by the guards.

Kimberly's expression changed drastically. She avoided him and tried to use the other exit. However, Jonathan pointed at her and shouted, "I know her! I'm here for her! Kimberly! Hey, Kimberly, come over here!"

Many people heard the commotion and turned their attention towards them. Left with no choice, Kimberly had to walk over and explain to the guards, "Sorry, he is my friend. Jonathan, come with

me.

Then, Jonatha went after Kimberly.

Kimberly stopped her pace when she had brought him to a quiet corner.

"What the hell do you want? We're divorced. Don't you feel ashamed for pestering me so many times?"

As soon as Kimberly finished talking, Jonathan instantly fell to his knees right in front of her.

Kimberly was extremely taken aback and she exclaimed, "What are you doing? Get up!"

"It was all my fault for treating you badly. Please forgive me!"

Kimberly felt speechless and she frowned, ushering, "What are you talking about? Get up quickly!"

Seeing Jonathan kneeling and begging for her forgiveness so suddenly, Kimberly was dumbfounded as to what was happening.

However, Jonathan didn't budge. Instead, he grabbed onto her skirt and pleaded, "Kimberly, I was a j*rk. I was a b*stard. For the sake that I was your husband, please ask your man to stop torturing me!"
