Sylvia wanted to seduce Maddox? Kimberly thought that it was absurd and twitched her lips uncontrollably. She forced a smile and said, "No, it can't be. You must've misunderstood. I know Sylvia well. She is not that kind of person." "Pfft, are you oblivious or just stupid?" Vera felt upset and she knitted her brows into a deep frown. She voiced out her opinion, "Firstly, Sylvia told you that she was here to talk about work, right? But did you see what she brought with her? Nothing! Not a single document in hand. Secondly, look at what she was wearing! Why was she wearing that to discuss work? Her collar was wide opened, anyone could look straight into her shirt! I think she's just trying to seduce Young Master Yardley." Hearing this, Kimberly didn't know what to say.
Vera then asked, "How did you two becgood friends? Why do you believe her?" Kimberly was speechless. However, after listening to Vera's words, she realized that it was really strange indeed. Why would Sylvia talk to Maddox about work? But then again, she had known Sylvia for many years. Hence, she chose to trust Sylvia.
After all, Sylvia had done everything to help her when Kimberly was in need.
"Vera, I know you don't like how Sylvia looks. But, I have known her for a long time. I know her better than you. Frankly speaking, no one in this world knows her better than I do. So, I hope that... you will stop saying such things about her. She has always been my good friend. You don't know how much she has helpedthrough hard times. Please stop talking bad about her. If not..." When Kimberly spoke of this, she paused for while as a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.
"If not, you can stop talking to me." When Vera heard this, she widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Alas, Kimberly, you are such a... Gosh, I am doing this for you. Yet you're willing to stop talking tojust because of this trivial matter?" Kimberly remained silent. Her lips turned colorless as she pursed them hard with an emotionless face.
Vera looked away in disappointment, "Well, since you don't care about me, I don't need to keep bothering you. I'll leave." After that, Vera turned around and left. Kimberly's lips moved as she tried to say something. Her hands were frozen in midair, wanting to grab Vera. However, she stopped herself in the end. Forget it. If they couldn't be on the spage, it was better for them to remain strangers.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKimberly went to the canteen alone. After she had ordered her food, she was one step behind and noticed that her usual seat was occupied. Normally, either she or Vera would sit there while the other would go get their food.
But now...
Eventually, she found an empty corner and placed her food on the table. As she sat down, she started to chew her food which inexplicably tasted dull. She was used to having lunch with Vera. But now, she was all alone. Kimberly had never felt so lonely.
For sreason, Kimberly recalled Vera's words from earlier.
Vera had said that Sylvia wanted to seduce Maddox.
How was that possible? Putting aside Sylvia's excellence, she was also the Hanover family's eldest daughter. So, how could she be interested in Maddox? No matter how handshe was, he was handicapped.
Although Kimberly didn't dislike him because he was wheelchair-bound, other women would generally stay away or even detest someone like Maddox.
The more Kimberly thought about it, the more unpleasant she felt.
Even though she had said that she believed in Sylvia, Vera's words made sense. When she thought back to how Sylvia had dressed up, she couldn't help but feel a little bitter. Kimberly hurriedly finished her food, packed up, and made her way upstairs.
When she got out of the elevator, Sylvia was nowhere to be seen.
Kimberly thought for a moment and looked at Maddox's office.
She didn't know whether Sylvia was still inside, but the door was shut tightly. Kimberly was curious. She couldn't help inching closer towards the office.
The office was quiet. Kimberly approached the office curiously as if she was a stealthy thief.
She went even nearer and finally could hear the vague conversation coming from inside. She heard a voice that was as gentle as the morning breeze. It might be Sylvia's.
Although she could hear the voices, Sylvia was speaking very softly. Kimberly couldn't hear what exactly she was saying.
This piqued her curiosity even further, so she leaned closer and peeked through the gap in the door. When she finally saw the situation inside, her expression changed drastically.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSylvia was sitting on one side of the desk, and Maddox was staring expressionlessly at the notebook in front of him. Sylvia had always been good-looking, her figure was always perfect. Now, her low-cut dress exposed even more of her fairskinned chest, propping seductively on the table.
Kimberly subconsciously chewed on her lower lip at this sight. How could this be? Sylvia... Was she doing this on purpose? For a moment, Kimberly felt very uncomfortable. She couldn't figure out what was going on.
Maddox was focused on his notebook. Sensing something, he abruptly shifted his sharp eyes towards the door. Kimberly was shocked by this. Before his gaze had landed the door, she quickly took a few steps back. Her heart raced wildly in her chest.
After a while, she gulped nervously and placed her hand on her chest as she walked back to her desk.
Kimberly's mind was in a mess. She was thinking about how Sylvia had leaned her body against the desk, I revealing her cleavage. Her actions looked unintentional, but she was showing too much skin. Was Kimber simply overthinking, or did Sylvia really want to seduce Maddox? "Firstly, Sylvia told you that she was here to talk about work, right? But did you see what she brought with her? Nothing! Not a single document in hand. Secondly..." At this moment, Vera's words echoed in her mind. Kimberly cto her senses and placed her hand on her forehead.
She muttered to herself, "Kimberly, don't think too much. You know Sylvia. She wouldn't do this behind your back. Plus, who would have feelings for someone like Maddox?" She convinced herself that she was thinking too much.
Kimberly tried her best to tell herself a different story. Slowly, she felt better. She then turned on the m computer and was ready to start her work. As long as she was occupied, nothing could bother her. As soon as she opened her computer, Kimberly froze.
