Someone screamed, but it was not Minerva. Instead, it was Kelly who was holding Vera's arm.
Everyone immediately turned to look at them. Minerva's expression changed. Then she quickly turned her face to Maddox and whispered, "Putdown. What are you doing?" Maddox frowned and said, "Don't your bare feet feel cold? I'll carry you out." "You don't have to carry me. I can walk by myself. Putdown!" However, Maddox didn't give her any chance to protest. He carried her out of the venue. Even the people on the stage stared at them. Minerva struggled for a while before she finally conceded defeat. She buried herself into Maddox's arms and pulled his collar down to cover her face along the way.
There were so many reporters there. If they were photographed, it would be troublesome.
However, Maddox was not afraid. As long as she covered her face, people would only say that Maddox had carried a woman and it would have nothing to do with Minerva.
Her behavior did not make Maddox feel disgusted. On the contrary, because it made her dependent on Maddox so much that she even took the initiative to move closer to him, it made him happy. His thin lips slightly hitched up in a smile as he strode forward.
Kelly and Vera were stunned for a full five seconds and then they hurriedly got up and followed them out. A person from the group of journalists shouted when he saw them.
"It's the business tycoon, Maddox! Oh my god, it's Maddox from the Yardley Corporation in North City!" "Who is he carrying? Hurry up and get a picture!" The spotlight was on the two of them. Kelly and Vera, who were following behind Maddox, subconsciously covered their faces with their hands. However, they quickly cto realise that it was Maddox and Minerva who had their photos taken and not them.
Therefore, they put down their hands after realizing it.
Even though Minerva had buried her head in Maddox's arms, she could feel that there were countless cameras taking photos of them. She was speechless and tense. Those media reporters were just too gossip-hungry! Was Maddox even more charming than the other celebrities and the jewelry? Why weren't they taking a picture of those things instead of Maddox? "Pfft." Her thoughts were interrupted by the vibration in Maddox's chest.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe said to her, "Don't be afraid. I will make sure to protect you." Minerva was at a loss for words.
She laughed in her heart.
After all, if he hadn't carried her, they wouldn't even be in that situation! But what else could she say? She had no other way to escape, hence she had to wait until she got out of there. Maddox seemed to be torturing her on purpose. He wouldn't walk fast. Therefore, they were surrounded by the reporters for a long time.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and leave." Minerva felt that she could hardly breathe in his embrace. Furthermore, she was wearing a dress that day and her posture was not ideal. She was afraid that she would suffer from a wardrobe malfunction.
Maddox looked at the media in front of him. After realising the irascibility of the person in his arms, he glared coldly at the group of people, exuding an aura of stony dominance.
"Get out of my way." The group of people looked at each other in dismay at Maddox's command. Then, they took a few steps back unconsciously.
He held no reserve for the media at all. He didn't care about what the media reporters would say about how ruthless and unreasonable he was. To Maddox, those comments were irrelevant.
On top of that, who would be willing to risk their lives to write negative reports about Maddox? Not only was that man cold and icy, he was ruthless. No one would offend him if they wanted to live in North City.
Therefore, they all consciously scattered away and no one dared to catch up with them.
Kelly and Vera closely followed him out.
After arriving at the corridor, Minerva still didn't dare to cout. Her head was buried in his suit and she was almost out of breath.
"There's no one else around. Cout to get sfresh air," said Maddox in amusement. His voice reverberated from the top of her head. Minerva snorted and ignored him.
She didn't believe in his words. What if she was photographed by reporters as soon as she showed her face? After a while, when Minerva heard that there was really no sound around her, only did she dare to slowly stretch her head out. Scanning her surroundings, she realized that there was really no one around her anymore. Then, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, there's no one around anymore. You can putdown." Minerva looked up at Maddox as she spoke.
Maddox looked at her and said, "When did I say that I would let you go?" Minerva was confused.
"Your shoes are broken. I'll take you to buy a new pair." "You don't have to do that. I can buy it myself." After a short distance, they arrived at the parking lot. Maddox took Minerva to his car and then turned to look at Kelly and Vera.
Vera and Kelly had been following behind him since the beginning. After all, Minerva was in his hands, so they were not in a good position to leave. Maddox's glare sent a chill down their backs.
"The two of you..." said Maddox with his eyes narrowed. His thin lips twitched as ordered, "You should return." "But..." Vera looked at Minerva hesitantly. Minerva was struggling in Maddox's arms. Having no choice, she braced herself and said, "Mr. Yardley, please put Minerva down. She doesn't need to wear shoes after getting into the car because we will be going hdirectly." "Oh?" Maddox raised his eyebrows. His cold aura permeated through the air, lowering the temperature.
Vera shrank back. However, looking at Minerva, she forged on, saying, "I don't think Minerva is willing to go with you, Mr. Yardley, Isn't that so? Besides, it's already very late. For a man and a woman to be alone at such a time... It would be troublesome. Besides, there are so many reporters today; we'll be in trouble if you were photographed." Minerva looked at Maddox.

If Maddox stared thoughtfully at her face for a long time. When he was about to speak, Minerva said, if you don't release me, I'll block you on Facebook." Maddox struggled to respond. "So, are you going to letgo?" It was finally Minerva's turn to threaten him.
Minerva couldn't understand why Maddox actually seemed worried that she would block him on Facebook again. He slowly put her down.
Minerva couldn't help but shudder when her feet stepped on the ice-cold ground.
"It's really quite cold." "You're not allowed to block me!" He demanded stonily.
At that moment, Maddox looked like a rascal with a temper. Minerva couldn't be bothered about him and she turned around to leave.
However, he grabbed her wrist after she had barely taken a step. She frowned and turned around. "Let go!" "Did you hear what I said?" Maddox frowned and stared at her seriously.
He looked as if he wouldn't let her leave if she didn't agree. It was an all too familiar scenario. Being thrusted into such a situation repeatedly, she lost all her patience.
"I got it. I promise, I swear that I won't block you. Are you happy now? Can I leave?" Maddox loosened his grip and said, "Go ahead. Be careful on the way back."
His words almost made Minerva om a think that the Maddox standing, before her had undergone & complete transformation. How could a cold and aloof person like him actually say such caring words? X
