Hence, Benedict said something ambiguous, leaving Minerva completely speechless.

He avoided the topic of pursuing her and began to ask her about her designing career.

He was indeed great at conversation. He had a high EQ and knew exactly what to say and what not to say.

It would have been comfortable to be with such a person. This was because he would put you first, whether it was in a relationship or after getting married and living together.

It was a pity that Minerva did not have those kinds of feelings for him. Thus, no matter how comfortable life could be, it would still be bland and tasteless.

She wanted to tell Benedict to not waste his time. It was absolutely impossible between him and her, but when she saw him like this, she felt that he would not give up even if she told him.

Thinking of this, she lowered her gaze and sighed softly in her heart.

Which part of her had attracted him?

Shortly after Minerva and Benedict left, a black car pulled up outside her office.

Sam glanced at Maddox through the rearview mirror.

"Sir, are you really not going back to rest?"

Maddox looked up and his sharp eyes were filled with rage. However, he still could not hide his handsomeness.

"Nonsense!" Maddox scolded coldly. He thought to himself that he had not seen Minerva for a long time, so he decided to surprise her.

She had been playing cat and mouse with him for so many days. What would her reaction be upon seeing him?

Sam had no choice but to shut his mouth. In the middle of the night, Maddox ordered him to book a ticket home. He came back earlier than expected. As soon as he landed, he headed for the Young Madam's company.

Was Minerva really that attractive?

Thinking of this, Sam thought of another woman's face. His eyes unconsciously drifted. He didn't know if Verna was still angry with him.

Maddox entered the elevator and happened to meet Kelly, who was going out to buy something.

When Kelly saw Minerva and Benedict going out together, she felt bad. In her eyes, she always thought that Minerva and Maddox were a couple. After all, she had seen what happened before. However, Mr. Benedict of Blue Sky Company suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He looked at Minerva with eyes filled with love.

Now that Maddox had suddenly appeared at the company, it was likely that he was looking for Han Minerva.

Maddox was about to take the elevator when Kelly couldn't help saying, "Young Master Yardley!"

Maddox glanced at her coldly and knew that she was an employee of the company. He asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Yes!" Kelly nodded subconsciously. She gritted her teeth nervously and said, "Are you looking for Minerva? She's not in the office."

Not in the office?

Maddox raised his eyebrows. When he heard that it was about Minerva, his gaze finally fell on Kelly.

However, there was no warmth in his eyes and she trembled a little.

"Can you tell me where she went?"

Kelly shook her head. "Actually... I'm not too sure, but she must have gone out to talk about work."

Talk about work?

It was really a coincidence. Maddox pursed his lips and thought for a moment. Then, he did not say anything. "Why don't you wait for her in the office? I guess Minerva will come back soon."

Wait for her?

Maddox's brows throbbed with pain. He had not slept well for an entire night because he rushed back to see her.

If he left without seeing her, wouldn't his efforts go to waste?

"Okay," Maddox answered in a low voice and Kelly pressed the button of the elevator for him.

On the other side, Benedict and Minerva were chatting and all the dishes were served. He took care of her and kept putting food onto her plate. Minerva pursed her lips and said, "I can't eat so much. You should eat more."

"Why are you in such a hurry? If I remember correctly, there is still some time before you go back to work."

"Yes." Minerva nodded, "But do you see my dark circles? I didn't sleep well last night. I wanted to go back and catch up on sleep."

She answered directly.

Benedict was stunned for a moment. Then, he burst out laughing.

"It's my negligence. I just wanted to have lunch with you. In this case, if you are done eating, I'll send you back to have a rest."

Minerva thought for a moment and said, "I'll treat you to this meal. You don't have to send me back. I can take a taxi back myself."

She wiped her mouth with a napkin and saw the lipstick stain on it. She thought that the lipstick should have fallen off completely, so she said, "Mr. Benedict, you can leave first. I have to go to the washroom." Minerva went to the washroom. After washing her hands, she took out her lipstick and foundation case and carefully reapplied her makeup.

When it came to makeup, she either didn't apply any or would do a full face of makeup. She also didn't like makeup looks that were incomplete.

Especially when the lipstick color was relatively bright, it wouldn't look nice if the lipstick left on the lips was uneven after a meal.

When Minerva finished reapplying her makeup and was about to go to the front desk to pay the bill, she was surprised to see that Benedict was still waiting for her.

"Why are you..."

Hearing her voice, he turned around and saw that she had fixed her makeup. Her lips looked bright and juicy.

It was like a recently ripened apple.

After a while, Benedict's eyes darkened. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to rub her hair.

"How could I leave by myself and leave you here?"

She kept quiet.

She didn't expect Benedict to touch her head in public, so she didn't have time to avoid him. Just as she reacted and wanted to step back, he had already taken back his hand. "Let's go. Aren't you sleepy? I'll send you back."

Seeing that she was stunned on the spot, he stepped forward and intended to take her hand.

Minerva instinctively took a step back to avoid his touch. "I can walk on my own."

Then she walked out of the restaurant in a panic.

Looking at her slender figure, Benedict followed her.

On the way back, she didn't say anything. She kept her eyes closed; she looked exhausted. Benedict was considerate and didn't disturb her.

When he arrived at the office, he saw the car parked outside the building. The familiar license plate made him narrow his eyes and he naturally slowed down the car.

He should be on a business trip. Why was he here?

According to his schedule, he should be back the next day.

In fact, Minerva didn't sleep. She just closed her eyes and pretended to sleep because it was awkward to open her eyes. Moreover, she couldn't sleep in his car. Seeing that they were about to arrive, Minerva packed up and got out of the car.
