Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 395

Maddox took a step forward and drew closer in a compelling manner.

Minerva had cooled off a little. She remained motionless and appeared very calm.

"What's the matter?" Janice felt a bit strange.

Minerva looked at Janice and smiled as soon as she heard her.

"Miss Lowell, well keep in touch later. I don't want to hold you back."

After Minerva finished her sentence, she looked in Maddox's direction and nodded her head. Then, she walked towards the other direction and left.

Janice was a little embarrassed. "Why don't... Why don't you stay for a drink before leaving?"

"This..."

"You purposely came to meet me. I'm sorry to disappoint you. Anyway... he's back. You can stay a little longer."

Minerva tightened her grip on her bag before she let go at once. She responded calmly, "Alright, then I'll accept your offer."

Minerva then ordered a glass of juice.

The restaurant served her the juice shortly. Minerva knew that she was merely being polite for staying there. Hence, she only took two or three sips of the juice.

Maddox, who was about to leave, chose to stay, sitting opposite her with a cold face.

Maddox looked terrible, yet Janice dared not say anything. They were all lost in thought.

At this moment, even though he looked frosty, he stared at Minerva with fiery eyes the whole time.

His solemn gaze roved over her face.

A few minutes later, Minerva stood up.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I still have something to attend to, so I'll make a move first."

After that, Minerva said with a smile. "It's my treat."

Then, she directly turned and went to the cashier, ignoring their reactions.

When Minerva was about to hand her card to the cashier, someone acted swiftly.

"Take this one."

He sounded apathetic.

Minerva was very familiar with this voice. She could tell who it was without raising her head.

"I'm not used to being treated by women."

Minerva was rendered speechless.

After that, she silently placed the bank card back in her purse. She turned to look at Maddox with an unacquainted smile. "Then, thank you, Mr. Yardley." Janice followed him behind. As she witnessed this scene, she secretly felt happy.

The man she favored was indeed different from other men. He was a gentleman.

As they walked toward the door, Janice said, "Minerva, let's send you back to the company. Anyway, it's just nearby."

Minerva's footstep stopped abruptly and her mouth twitched.

"It's alright, Miss Lowell. It's just within walking distance. Thank you for today."

Minerva felt that it was unnecessary for them to walk her to her company. She immediately left, ignoring his gaze.

Janice looked at her back and then secretly glanced at Maddox, who was not far away from her.

"When did I say I was going to send you back?"

Sure enough, a cold and ruthless voice rang.

Although Janice had predicted that Maddox would not send her back, she felt embarrassed listening to his words. Fortunately, Minerva had already left them. Janice raised her head, smiling at Maddox. "I know that you won't send me back. I've made things difficult for you today. Be careful on your way back home."

As soon as she finished her sentence, Janice turned out and prepared to leave. She gave up on pestering him anymore.

However, she thought of something at once. She looked at Maddox. "By the way, Mr. Yardley, can I add you as a friend on Facebook?"

Heh, what a woman who takes advantage of others.

He shot her an impatient look and was about to reject her.

In spite of that, he instantly thought of something. He narrowed his eyes and cast a stare in the direction whereby Minerva had walked away.

"Did you just say... that she is a designer?"

Janice nodded in a daze without answering him. After a while, she thought of something and replied, "Yes, Mr. Yardley. She's a designer. I went to her company and requested for her to design a dress for me. I you need any designer clothing, you can ask for her service."

At this moment, Janice sensed that Maddox was interested in Minerva's work. She disclosed to him right away, guessing that he probably wanted to replace Minerva for design related matters.

She even thought that it would be a great opportunity to improve her relationship with Maddox.

A designer?

Maddox's eyes darkened.

Out of his expectation, the woman had surprisingly become a designer.

Janice drew her lower lip between her teeth. "Mr. Yardley, do you need her to design clothes for you? Would you like to add me as a friend on Facebook and I'll forward her contact to you?"

It made her heartbeat race as it was an important move for her to draw near to him!

If it wasn't for Minerva, Maddox would have left a long time ago. He probably wouldn't even bother Janice, let alone add her as a friend on Facebook.

But everything was different at present. Maddox pondered for a moment and took out his mobile phone.

"Forward me her contract."

Maddox disappeared in front of Janice after finishing his words.

Janice nodded excitedly, waving at him. "Will do, Mr. Yardley. Drive safely!"

Her eyes followed him until he disappeared around the corner. Her gaze drifted away from him to her cell phone. She held it in her arms jubilantly.

Well, she was one step closer to him.

It seemed that Auntie Stark was right. Maddox was indeed the kind of person who looked cold but was actually warm-hearted.

She could imagine what it would look like when the two of them got together in the future.

Janice left contentedly, hugging her mobile phone.

After returning to the company, Minerva entered the office. She spaced out as she sat alone at the table.

When Vera saw this, she was confused. Didn't Minerva say that she was going to meet a customer? Why did she return so soon? Nonetheless, she didn't ask aloud as she was certain that Minerva could handle her own problems.

However, when Vera got up and went to refill her coffee, she realized that Minerva was still maintaining the same posture she had ever since she came back. Vera felt a little strange. What's going on?

Vera made her a cup of coffee. She squinted when she was carrying the cup of coffee to her.

Ping!

The sound of the coffee cup being placed on the table brought Minerva back to her senses. She looked up and saw Vera standing in front, staring curiously at her.

When Vera saw that Minerva raised her head, she crossed her arms across her chest. "What's going on? You look worried. Do you have something on your mind?" Upon hearing this, Minerva was dumbfounded.

'I have something on my mind?'

Thinking of this, she couldn't resist twitching her lips and let out a stifled laugh.

She had always thought that she had gotten over it after all these years. It was only then that she had discovered...

There were some things that couldn't be changed even if you wished to.
