She didn't expect Benedict to turn off the engine and get out of the car with her.

Minerva was a little surprised, "Mr. Benedict?"

"Let me send you up." Benedict smiled slightly, "Seeing that you're so tired, I'm worried about letting you go upstairs alone."

Minerva didn't reply.

She reached out to pinch her cheek. Did she look that tired?

This unconscious movement was extremely charming in Benedict's eyes. She was obviously a mother, but sometimes, her actions were innocent.

He wanted to reach out his hand again, but after thinking for a while, he stopped.

"Let's go. I'll take you upstairs."

Just as he was about to take a step forward, a figure ran out in a hurry.

It was Kelly. She took a few steps forward and walked to Minerva's side, "You're finally back, Minerva. I have something to talk to you about." "What's the matter?"

Kelly glanced at Benedict. Minerva realized something, so she said to him, "Thank you for your hospitality today, Mr. Benedict. I'll treat you to a meal when I have the chance."

Kelly was already next to her. Benedict naturally couldn't say anything to send her upstairs at this time, so he just smiled and said, "Well, I'll remember this. Why don't we do it tonight? I can pick you up from work and we can pick Beanie up on the way."

Her expression changed slightly upon hearing his words, "You don't have to, do you? Today, I..."

"That's a deal. I'll pick you up after work."

However, Benedict didn't give her the chance to refuse. After finishing his words, he left.

After he left, Minerva looked on as his car disappeared in the distance. She then looked at Kelly and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

Kelly shook her head, "I'm not looking for you. It's Young Master Yardley."

"What?"

Was she referring to Maddox?

Kelly gave a light cough and watched Benedict's car leave. She asked in embarrassment, "Minerva, what's the relationship between you two guys? Is he pursuing you?"

Upon hearing this, Minerva frowned. Before she could answer, Kelly said, "Oh, it's not the time to talk about this. You'd better hurry upstairs and go back to your office. Young Master Yardley is waiting for you there."

Kelly said as she pushed her into the elevator.

"Wait a minute. Are you talking about Maddox?"

Didn't he go on a business trip? Why did he suddenly come back? Why did he come to her office?

Why would he appear here out of nowhere after disappearing for a few days?

"Who else could it be?" Kelly asked in reply. She then looked at Minerva and said, "He's been waiting for you for a long time. It's been about an hour."

One hour?

Could it be that he had been here since she went out with Benedict?

"I'll go first!"

After the elevator door opened, Kelly went back to her office. The elevator continued to rise after it closed.

After walking out of the elevator, Han Minerva walked towards the office.

This was clearly her own office, but she felt nervous. Standing at the door of her office, she did not push it open. Instead, she stood there in a daze.

She didn't know how long she had been standing like this, but Minerva finally let out a sigh. She then pushed open the door.

She had thought that she would see Maddox sitting at her desk and looking at her coldly. However, she did not expect that the office was empty.

Han Minerva was stunned for a moment before walking in.

Didn't Kelly say that he was here?

Why was there no one in the office?

Could it be that Kelly was lying? Why would she lie to her? Minerva entered the office in confusion. Just as she was about to close the door, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Before she could react, her hands were caught and pressed against the wall.

"Ah... Ugh." Just as Minerva let out a cry of surprise, the person in front of her leaned over and pressed her down. His action was a little brusque as he kissed her lips.

A familiar aura strongly enveloped her. Han Minerva widened her eyes as she looked at the handsome face that was right in front of her.

Maddox...

It was clear that there was no one in the office when she looked at it just now. Where did he come from?

However, she was not in the mood to think about this at the moment. Maddox's kiss was so passionate that it took away all her consciousness. She wanted to push him away but he didn't let her.

Just as Minerva thought that she was about to be deprived of oxygen, Maddox finally let go of her. He rested his forehead against hers and breathed lightly.

She greedily sucked in the fresh air and her legs went limp. She could only stretch out her hand to grab his collar and lean against him.

"Did you miss me?"

He opened his mouth. His sound was deep and hoarse, with an unspeakable charm.

Minerva opened her mouth, but he seemed to be unable to control himself. He bent down and kissed the corner of her mouth. Then the kiss gradually moved up, landed on the tip of her nose, and finally covered her eyes.

Han Minerva closed her eyes subconsciously.

Her neck felt cold as if there was something there. At the same time, the lips covering her eyes also moved away and moved to the back of her ear.

Minerva felt a chill at her neck. It felt cold and uncomfortable. She reached out to touch it and felt a chain.

She looked down and saw a diamond pendant.

"You..."

She raised her head and looked into Maddox's deep eyes.

"Do you like it?" His thin lips curved slightly. He closed his eyes and rubbed against her forehead. He then breathed out all the warm breath on her face.

Following that, Han Minerva heard his low complaint.

"I picked it specially for you. In order to come back to see you, I haven't slept for two days."

She didn't know what to say.

After he was done talking, he actually leaned against her shoulders and closed his eyes.

She asked, "What are you doing?"

Did he intend to just lean on her shoulders and sleep here? Minerva pushed him, but he wrapped his arms around her waist and rubbed himself against her neck. He said in a low voice, "Don't move. Let me lean on you for a while."

In this small space behind the door, the air was filled with Maddox's masculine breath. While he was holding her like this, she suddenly recalled the call she had made the previous night.

She blinked her eyes and could not help but move her head slowly. She smelt Maddox's shirt.

It was clean. The only thing she could smell was the scent that only belonged to him.

Minerva could not believe it. When she smelled it again, she noticed that only Maddox's scent was on it.

Something wasn't right. The woman answered the phone for him and said that he was taking a shower. They should be in the same room. Why couldn't she smell anything?

Could it be that he had already changed his shirt in advance?

While she was thinking, she heard a low chuckle, "What are you smelling?"

Minerva was stunned. She hesitated for a moment before looking into his eyes.

He held her waist tightly and said with satisfaction, "Do you know what you look like now?"

Like what?
