"Because I left you alone in the middle of the night, and you were lonely. That's why you're jealous. Am I right?" Maddox domineeringly pinched Kimberly's chin with his fingers. Though he didn't exert much force, she struggled to move.
Kimberly continued struggling from his grip but to no avail. In the end, she could only blurt angrily, "Let go of me. You leftlast night for another woman, yet you have the audacity to ask if I'm jealous. Are you out of your mind? Keep your dirty hands off me!" Maddox glared straight into her soul and held onto her tighter.
"You're right, I'm crazy. Now tell me, are you jealous?" "I'm not!" Kimberly shoved him and repeated, "Let go of me." "You're still denying it." Maddox sneered, "Why are you even mad?" As soon as he spoke, Maddox bent over and planted a kiss on her lips. It all happened so suddenly, startling her. She stared blankly at Maddox, who was only a few inches away from her face. After a while, her pale face flushed a deep shade of red.
"What are you doing?" she scolded. "Will you feel better if I kissed you?" Maddox pressed his forehead against hers and whispered hoarsely.
Kimberly didn't know what to say.
Her mind went blank for a whole ten seconds. Then, she chuckled in a self-mocking way and said, "Hey... You are the one who leftnaked in bed last night. You left as you wished and even askedto wait for you. In the end, you..." "I asked you to wait, so you waited?" Maddox didn't know why he was so elated to see Kimberly's such behavior, especially when he had learned that she was jealous. He found this side of her to be extremely adorable, and he wanted to tease he even more.

Kimberly looked up and her cold eyes fixated on his face.
"At least I'm back now, right?" Maddox added.
Kimberly pursed her lips. He hadn't shown up even when she had waited for him the whole night. Now that he was back, not only did he not feel bad but he had also shamelessly dismissed her feelings. Thinking of this, Kimberly was infuriated and she forcefully struggled in his arms, "Stop touching me. I know you seeonly as a joke, but you can't just treatso unfairly. Do you take everyone as fools who will always listen to you? Let go. Let go of... Hmm." Before she could finish her words, Maddox had his lips on hers again. He placed his warm hand on her back and caressed her gently. It was as though he was trying to calm her down. Kimberly's pupils were dilated in the heat of the moment. In front of her, Maddox's firm chest was pressing against her while his warm hand was slowly roaming around back.
At first, he kissed her roughly. But the longer it went on, it becmore gentle. He savored her lips carefully like he was tasting his favorite food.
Gradually, Kimberly seemed to be intoxicated by the emotions and calmed down.
As Maddox's tongue retreated from her mouth, he planted a kiss on her forehead.
"You silly woman. Next twhen I ask you to wait, just go to sleep first." When Kimberly heard this, her heart shrank. Why did she have such high hopes for Maddox? Did that mean that this would happen again next time? Would he leave her alone for another woman again? Then, when he was free and available again, he would try to coax her back.
To put it bluntly, she was like a pet Maddox had kept by his side. He would give her attention only when he was free. But when he was busy, he wouldn't even bother to look at her.
However, Kimberly was being treated worse than a pet.
"I still have work to do. You can go out now," said Maddox.
Before Kimberly could react, Maddox had pushed her off his lap. Dazedly, Kimberly stood frozen as she stared at him for a long time. He didn't even spare her a glance.
Maddox did not raise his head. But after a while, he suddenly instructed her, "Geta cup of coffee." Kimberly remained rooted to her spot.
Getting no response, Maddox noticed that something was off and he finally looked up at her again.
When their eyes met, the feeling of sorrow grew in Kimberly's heart. She turned around silently and went to make him coffee.
After she had brought the coffee for him, Kimberly returned to her desk. The more she stared at her computer, the more she wanted to laugh at herself in ridicule.

Kimberly was a little surprised to see her and asked, "Sylvia, why are you here?" Sylvia paused for a moment before stepping out of the elevator.
"Hey Kimberly, were you doing alright during the banquet?" Kimberly shook her head and replied, "Yeah, I'm fine." Standing beside them, Vera twitched her lips and scoffed, "How dare you? How long has it been? Why are you only concerned about her now? Thank God nothing happened to Kimberly. If something did happen, what could you do about it?" "What?" Sylvia glared at Vera and bit her lips. She questioned, "Why are you always so hostile towards me? When did I offend you? Last I checked, we didn't even know each other before this." When she spoke of this, Sylvia peeked at Kimberly.
Kimberly wasn't sure, but it seemed like Sylvia was doubting her. Kimberly moved her lips, wanting to explain herself.
Vera continued, "I don't like the way you look, so I'm picking on you. What are you going to do about it?"
Hearing this, Sylvia's eyes were filled with anger. However, she held back and retorted, "As the eldest daughter of the Hanover family, I don't want to argue with a nobody like you. No wonder you're still working as an unimportant employee. Who do you think you are?"
"Oh." Vera crossed her arms, "So, did you forget that your good friendm Kimberly is also an unimportant employee? How do you feel about saying this in front of her face?" At first, Sylvia didn't think too much about her words. She had just wanted to argue with Vera. But she didn't expect that she would accidentally involve Kimberly.
Kimberly's face turned a little pale, but she remained silent.
Sylvia explained hurriedly, "I'm sorry, Kimberly, I didn't mean it that way. It was..." Kimberly interrupted her, saying, "Alright, stop arguing. Sylvia, why are you here?" "Well..." Sylvia nibbled on her bottom lip awkwardly, "I'm here for Young Master Yardley." "Maddox?" Kimberly was somewhat stunned and glanced at her, "Why are you looking for him?"
Sylvia responded casually, "Kimberly, don't think about it too much. It's for work. By the way, I thought you were going way. I for two lunch. Go on. I'll catch up with you after I'm done." Kimberly replied suspiciously, "Well, in that case, we'll head downstairs now." "See you." Sylvia's lips curled into a bright smile. She tidied her collar and walked towards Maddox's office. After she had left, Vera pinched Kimberly and chided, "Are you a fool? Why are you letting her meet Young Master Yardley alone?" "Huh?" Kimberly was confused, "What's wrong with that?" "Look at her, she obviously wants to seduce Young Master Yardley! Why are you so dense?"
