Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Thinking of this, Vera covered her cheeks with her hands. Tears started flowing out of her eyes uncontrollably.

The final outcwas naturally for Quill to send her home. He warned her that if she was to behave like this in the future, he would take her away from Minerva mercilessly.

Vera was thinking, perhaps he didn't like her, but she didn't expect him to hate her so much. Was she too aggressive? Did he think that she was too reckless? However, she had never kissed another man on her own accord. It was only Quill.

Was this the end? She couldn't accept this.

Since she couldn't sleep well last night, Minerva couldn't focus at work. She was nodding off at work even after drinking two cups of coffee.

She couldn't help but want to go to the lounge to take a two-hour nap. Suddenly, Kelly pushed the door open and cin, "Minerva, someone from Blue Sky Company is here. He said he wants to talk to you about the job." Usually, Vera would handle it. However, she was on leave that day.

Minerva put down the pen in her hand and nodded, "I understand. Take him to the reception room first. I'll be there in two minutes.' "Okay." Kelly, on the other hand, was a good assistant. Not only did she work as a designer, she would also take on Vera's job sometimes. Minerva's opinion of her had changed from an arrogant and domineering woman into an observant designer.

After packing up for a while, Han Minerva got up and walked to the reception room.

Upon reaching the door of the conference room, she saw the person inside and stopped in her tracks.

It was Benedict again.

Seeing him, Minerva thought of what he said to her at the bakery the day before.

"Even if I really wanted to get close to you, that's because I like you." "I am no longer your brother-in-law. I'm qualified to compete fairly against Maddox. I didn't have a chance five years ago, but now, I want to fight for myself. I want to have a shot before you get together with Maddox." "Minerva? You're here." While she was deep in thought, Benedict's gentle voice rang out from within. Minerva cback to her senses and saw him stand up. He was smiling at her and looking at her with gentle eyes. Kelly, who was standing not far away from him, looked puzzled.

Han Minerva naturally knew what she was wondering about. She smiled faintly and walked into the room with a graceful gait.

"Kelly, you can leave and do your work now." "Okay." After looking at Benedict, Kelly turned away and left the conference room.

He and Minerva were the only ones left in the conference room. Minerva sat down in front of him and said, "Mr. Benedict, what would you like to discuss today?" "Can't I cfind you when it's not work related?" Benedict looked at her, his dark eyes shining brightly. Minerva was shocked, "You..." "Is it too much to look for you by using work as an excuse?" Benedict smiled and said, "There is nothing much to talk about regarding work. I believe in your ability." "So, you're not here for work today?" She raised her head and frowned.

"You don't look good. Do you want to go out for a walk?" She rejected him without even thinking about it.

"No. If there's nothing else, please leave." After saying that, Minerva stood up and was ready to go out. She didn't want to give Benedict any chances. It would be better if he got angry over this matter and broke the contract with her. As soon as she stood up, he followed her and caught up with her quickly.

"Do you hatethat much? You can't even stay for two minutes?" Minerva's footsteps cto a pause. She frowned and reminded him, "Mr. Benedict, we are at work now. You're asking a superior to talk to you about private matters in the conference room at work? How could I set a good example?" Benedict seemed to have found the loophole in her words. He chuckled and said, "If that's the case, then as long as it's not working hours, it's fine?" Minerva kept quiet.

Oh no, he had taken advantage of her slipped tongue. "I..." "You don't have to answer." Benedict raised his hand and looked at the ton his wristwatch. "There is still one hour before lunch time. I wonder if I have the honor of inviting you for lunch today?" "You don't have to entertainfor the next hour. I'll wait for you here. When it's lunch time, clook for me. What do you think?" He had already arranged everything for her. He even suggested waiting for her there.

"Mr. Benedict, you..." "You said earlier that you don't want to talk about personal matters during work hours. Why don't we have lunch together? It's not too much, is it? Like you said..." "Then wait forhere." Minerva interrupted him, "I'm going to work now." "Okay. See you." Benedict's eyes suddenly turned gentle. He raised his hand and tried to touch her head. Minerva's expression changed slightly and she retreated in a panic.

After she had left, the warmth on Benedict's face faded away. The tenderness in his eyes was replaced by coldness.

He looked at the ton his wristwatch and found a seat to sit down.

"Maddox, let's see who can get her first." "I won't lose to you this time."

When Minerva returned to her office, her footsteps were light. Only God knew how much she wanted to reject Benedict, but he took advantage of her words. If she was to reject him, it would make her seem even more petty. Alas.

Forget it. It's just lunch.

In fact, after Benedict said what he did the day before, Minerva's heart relaxed a lot. His intention was at least more comforting than the one she had imagined. However, she did not trust him completely.

Who knew what he was up to? The two of them did not get along. It was normal for Benedict to want to compete against Maddox.

Thinking of Maddox, Minerva thought of the phone call from the previous night.

She went back and took a look at her phone. It was still quiet.

He hadn't called her since then. Was she still in his arms? Was he still asleep with her? An image appeared in her mind which made Minerva grit her teeth in anger.

B*stard, no wonder he went abroad all of a sudden. It turned out that he was on a tryst.

Hang on, Minerva calmed herself down. Why would she use the word 'tryst'? Maddox had nothing to do with her now. She had always denied that he was her husband. As such, he was only chasing after her as a single man.

He could decide whoever he wanted to be with. It was all up to him.

Minerva reached out and pinched the space between her eyebrows. She must have been teased too many times recently, which was why she made such a mistake. She didn't want to be bothered by Maddox anymore. Since he didn't cherish her, she would let him see that he was not indispensable to her.
