His deep voice was emanating heat, like neon lights flashing in the darkness. It was a scorching sensation, like dry wine flowing down a throat. After a while, it began to burn slowly. Kimberly withdrew her hand as though she had gotten an electric shock.
Maddox curled up his lips. Under the warm light, his smile seemed to be glowing.
Boom boom! Kimberly could hear her heart pumping faster in her chest.
"I don't care about you!" She pulled her hand back and said in a panic.
But it was obvious that she was just trying to cover up.
Maddox stared at her with interest, "Is that so? If you don't care about me, why are you staring at my information? Or, are you trying to find out about the Yardley family?" He stretched out his hand slowly. Kimberly did not dare to click on the mouse, so she quickly changed the topic, "Weren't you in the office? Why are you here? Did you change your mind to cooperate with the Fisher Enterprise?" At the mention of this, the look in Maddox's eyes turned cold again. "The Fisher Enterprise is not qualified to cooperate with the Yardley Corporation yet," he said.
"But as far as I know, the Fisher Enterprise is the only one that can replace Lovis Enterprises. Are you really not going to cooperate with them?" Kimberly frowned, "Are you doing this just because you want to go against the Old Master?" "Pfft." Maddox sneered, "Who told you that I'm doing this to go against that old man? Miss- Married-Twice, you're becoming more and more like a smart-*ss now." Kimberly didn't know what to say.
Bang! Suddenly, Maddox threw a bag of documents at her and said, "Read it carefully." Kimberly caught them in mid-air. She opened it and felt a strange feeling. When she was about to ask him about it, he had already rolled his wheelchair out the door. What a strange man! Kimberly cursed silently and spread out the documents in front of her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaddox had given her information about the Flanover Corporation.
Flow could Kimberly not be familiar with the Flanover Corporation? When Sylvia was accepted by the Flanover family, Kimberly had heard a few things about them. Flowever, Sylvia did not reveal too much to her. She was very mysterious, and Kimberly was not interested and did not pursue it. Now that Maddox had given her all this information, did that mean he was going to... cooperate with the Hanover family? Thinking of this, Kimberly's expression becsolemn at once.
Even though she had slept with Maddox, she still could not forget what he said to her that night.
He would not refuse a woman who con to him by herself.
Sylvia often cto visit her, and Maddox seemed to be very satisfied with her as well.
As she thought of something, Kimberly immediately stood up, took the documents and entered the office without knocking.
Maddox frowned unhappily, asking, "Have you forgotten what I told you before?" Kimberly knew what he meant, but she was still pissed. She cforward and put the documents in front of him, confronting him directly, "Maddox, why did you giveinformation about the Hanover Corporation?" Maddox had a cold look in his eyes, "For cooperation." He then asked, "Didn't you always want to work hard? Now that I'm giving you the information, are you going to quit?" "There are so many other groups. You don't cooperate with the Lovis Enterprises, and you also refuse the Fisher Enterprises. Why do you only want to cooperate with the Hanover Corporation?" Kimberly retorted. Maddox frowned and looked at her sharply.
Kimberly took a deep breath and said what she was thinking, "Do you genuinely want to cooperate with the Hanover Corporation, or do you have any other intentions?" He remained silent, but the coldness in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.
Kimberly braced herself and continued, "You toldbefore that you treat Sylvia..." "Ha." Maddox sneered, and his eyes were already filled with anger. "So, you think that's why I want to cooperate with the Hanover Corporation?" "Otherwise, why did you choose them?" Kimberly questioned.
The atmosphere becsilent. After a while, Maddox smiled ridiculously and looked at her with indifference. "Miss-Married-Twice, do you suspect that I have a bad intention? Why don't you just say that you are afraid that something will happen betweenand your best friend, and you will be abandoned again? Am right?" Maddox asked.
Kimberly's face gradually turned pale. He had brought up the past in such a sinister way.
"You sure are confident in yourself. I just don't want people like you meddling with my best friend!" Kimberly criticized.
"Meddle with her? Are you sure it's not your friend who wants to meddle with me?" Maddox asked back. Kimberly was so pissed that her lips trembled, shouting, "Sylvia is not that kind of person!" "Why don't we have a bet?" Maddox asked.
Kimberly stayed silent.
Maddox lowered his eyebrows and sneered. His eyes were dark. "If you lose, you have to stay obediently and be my woman for the rest of your life." Hearing this, Kimberly widened her eyes in astonishment.
"If you win, I'll warm the bed for you," Maddox said.
Kimberly didn't know what to say.
"If there's nothing else, you can go out. I have a video conference to attend." Before Kimberly could react, Maddox ordered her to leave. She turned around and walked out absentmindedly before she could even figure out what was going on. When she returned to her seat, Maddox's words still echoed in her mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"If you lose, you have to be my woman for the rest of your life. If you win, I'll warm your bed." Did she hear him wrongly? Why did she feel that these two sentences seemed to have the smeaning? No matter how she thought about it, they would end up together in both situations. But why did he say something like that? Kimberly's mind was in a mess. Maddox's words engulfed her mind and heart.
After a long time, she reached out to open the document in front of her.
It took 15 minutes for her to finish reading the documents. Maddox gave her the complete package. The information was highlighted and summarized in an organized manner. It had all kinds of useful information, and it didn't take long to skim through. After reading the introduction of the Hanover Corporation, Kimberly suddenly realized that Maddox was not as unruly as he looked.
He had his own ideas. Although it sounded like he had made a sudden decision, his decisions were more often than not the best ones.
Kimberly pinched a corner of the document and blinked a few times.
Had he been planning this for long? The Lovis Enterprises was just a cover, and the actual group that Yardley Corporation had wanted to cooperate with was the Hanover Corporation.
Kimberly soon contacted the person in charge at the Hanover Corporation. After listening to her proposal, the person was neither surprised nor happy: He told her that he would pass on her message. After waiting for nearly half an hour, they gave a call back to her and requested a face-to-face meeting. Kimberly nodded and asked, "Sure, when will it be convenient for us to meet?"
"Here's the thing, Miss Shell. Our Hanover Corporation has always wanted to cooperate with the Yardley Corporation, but we didn't have the chance before. I have already informed President Hanover about your proposal. However, President Hanover is abroad now, thus he may not be able to meet with you in these few days." Kimberly paused. That was true, Sylvia had told her that her brother had gone abroad to find someone for Kimberly.
Thinking of this, Kimberly's face was a little hot as she felt embarrassed. She replied awkwardly, "It doesn't matter. I'll just wait for whenever he's free." "Thank you for your understanding. President Hanover will be coming back to Hidalgo the day after tomorrow. He can spare about half an hour at noon. Is this arrangement okay with you, Miss Shell?" The person in charge asked.
"No problem!" Kimberly agreed immediately.
