It was still that srestaurant, because it was close to Minerva's company. Besides, Maddox was not in the mood to deliberately pick a place to go. Thus, he met Janice in the restaurant where they had previously met.
Maddox attracted attention wherever he went. He had been there two or three times, so everyone there remembered him. When he cagain this time, the staff hid behind the counter and talked about him. Seeing this scene, Janice felt extremely uncomfortable.
Of course, she knew how dazzling Maddox was. When other people looked at her, she felt very sad. The thought of Minerva having snatched this man, and the thought that she was the one who brought them together made her feel extremely regretful.
He was such an outstanding man. Why didn't she have her guards up back then? Any woman would fall in love with him the moment they laid their eyes on him! Thinking of this, Janice looked nervously at Maddox who was sitting opposite her. Although he was the one who took the initiative to ask her out, she couldn't feel happy at all because she didn't know what Maddox was going to say to her.
Janice bit her lower lip and looked at the person in front of her with a conflicted expression.
"Maddox, you..." With just a single word, she successfully made him open up. He looked at her fiercely and said, "Miss Lowell, I don't think we are so familiar with each other that we can call each other by our first names." He was the swhen they first met. Cold, ruthless, and without any warmth or emotion.
Janice's heart quivered. She bit her lower lip and said, "Aren't we on a blind date now? What's the problem if I don't call you by your surname?" Maddox's eyes were full of sarcasm. He casually tapped the table with his fingertips and said, "That's right. We're going on a blind date, but Miss Lowell, can't you hear how I am addressing you? I've told you since the first twe met, right? You're obviously not my cup of tea." Janice's face turned paler. He was so frank to her which made her feel extremely ashamed as a girl. However, the more he treated her like this, the more she found herself unable to let go of him.

Janice bit her lower lip and her fingers beneath the table had been pierced through by her own nails. The heart- wrenching pain made her mind clear a little and the hatred and jealousy in her heart spread like wildfire. She looked at Maddox.
"It's because of her, right?" Maddox creased his brows.
"Why?" Janice demanded angrily, "I am the one who is going on a blind date with you. Why are you seeing her instead? What's so good about her?" Maddox pursed his thin lips and looked at her coldly.
It was as if he was looking at a stranger.
Why? Janice had dated him so many times but he still looked at her as if he didn't know her at all. However, he was carrying Minerva at the press conference.
"Why on earth? Which part ofcan't be compared to her? Which part ofis not good enough? Could you tell me? I can improve myself to be the way you wantto be." Maddox could not help but sneer.
"Miss Lowell, I'm afraid there's smisunderstanding. You don't have what she has. Don't waste your time." "What is it?" Janice bit her lower lip and asked, "What does she have that I don't?" "I asked you out today because I wanted to make it clear to you. Don't harass her again in the future!" After listening to his words, Janice finally reacted. She looked at the cold-hearted man in front of her in shock. A moment later, she sneered and said, "I see now. She even dared to complain. What a narrow-minded woman. Do you like this type of woman? Don't you know that she already has..." Before she could finish her sentence, Maddox suddenly stood up and interrupted her in a cold tone of voice. "I do like such a narrow-minded woman.
What can you do about it then? Miss Lowell, girls should pay more attention to their own manners." He looked around. His thin lips were very charming, but the words he spoke did not carry any emotion.
"If I find out that you've harassed her again, don't blme for attacking your Lowell family." After giving her a warning, Maddox stared at her and turned to leave the restaurant.
Janice remained in her seat while feeling the iciness all over her body.
She did not expect Maddox to have such deep feelings for Minerva. How long had it been? She had always thought that she would still stand a chance, but... Why did he? As she thought of that, Janice couldn't help herself and she grabbed her bag and chased after him! "Maddox!" Janice chased after him and she met him in the parking lot. Then she looked at his back in anger and shouted, "You said she has something that I don't. What is it?" "You don't deserve to know." Maddox did not intend to tell her at all. He just uttered a statement and got into the car.
His car drove away, leaving Janice alone where she stood.
She clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth.
"Minerva, I won't let you get away!!! Taking away my man and leaving like this? Huh, what wishful thinking! I, Janice, am not someone to be trifled with so easily!" "Ah-choo!" Minerva, who was in the middle of her speech, suddenly sneezed twice.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Vera looked at her nervously and asked, "Are you okay? Did you catch a cold?" Minerva rubbed her nose and shook her head with a smile. "I'm fine. Let's continue with the plan for next week." However, she was a little disturbed. Why did she sneeze twice for no reason? Was it because she kicked the quilt away the night before?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the meeting, when Minerva was packing up her documents, Vera cup to her and said, "One sneeze means someone is missing you while two sneezes mean that someone is scolding you." Minerva's hand stopped moving as she glanced at Vera. "Since when did you believe in this kind of thing?" After saying that, she picked up the documents and went out. Vera hurriedly picked up her own things and followed up.
"It's fun. Can't you just talk about it? I think my sixth sense is very accurate. Maybe Janice was scolding you behind your back." Minerva didn't respond.
"Even if it was not Janice, you still have another enemy, don't you? The one called Yvonne." Minerva's foot paused for a second, but she did not stop walking. Her eyes were filled with helplessness.
She didn't expect that she would offend two people soon after she returned to the country.
One was a female celebrity star, Yvonne, and the other was Janice.
Although she was not afraid of what others would do to her, but... these were all troubles.
She did not know how Maddox solved the problem. She wondered if he could successfully settle them yand problem in harmony and not cause her any more trouble. However, it turned out that Maddox did not handle the matter well even though he promised that he would settle it without getting her involved. In the afternoon, Janice cover to make trouble again.
However, she did not calone. Instead, she brought a few friends along with her.
"Miss Hanover, they all love the design you made for Helen. They heard that know you, so I brought them all here. You won't mind, right?" X
