Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"President Yardley," Vera greeted Maddox nervously.

Maddox's cold gaze swept across the room. When he couldn't see Minerva, his eyes darkened and he asked, "Where is Minerva?" Vera remembered Minerva's instructions, but faced with Maddox's fearful aura, she felt weak and slightly guilty. She subconsciously glanced in the direction of the lounge.

She then said in a quiet voice, "Minerva toldto let you know to wait for her downstairs. She will be there in five minutes." "Five minutes?" Maddox narrowed his eyes. Vera felt that she was treading in dangerous waters. "I've already given her so much tand she still wants to bargain with me?" He sneered. Hearing his cold sneer, Vera gulped in fear.

That man was too handsome. Fortunately, she had already fallen in love with Quill! "Minerva said that she would be downstairs in five minutes. Please trust her for once," Vera said.

It seemed that Minerva hadn't taken Maddox's words seriously.

Huh.

The darkness in Maddox's eyes grew. Then, he looked away and fixed his gaze on the door of the lounge.

Vera's face changed and she felt all her muscles tighten.

What was he looking at? Could it be that he wanted to go to the lounge? While she was still thinking, Maddox started heading towards the lounge door.

"President Yardley!" Vera called out nervously. Her face turned pale and she jumped up from her seat. In the next second, she stepped forward and blocked Maddox's way.

"What are you trying to do?" Maddox looked at Vera, who was standing in front of him, and frowned.

"Get out of the way." "No, I can't!" Vera stammered and put her arms up to block him. She promised Minerva that she would try to keep her secret as long as possible. If Maddox rushed in at that time, she would not be able to explain it to Minerva.

Maddox frowned even more. He looked at Vera sharply.

Why was Vera so anxious? It was as if she was afraid that he would barge into the lounge.

Was there something in the lounge that he shouldn't know about? As that thought cinto his mind, Maddox suddenly becgloomy. He warned coldly, 'TH give you one last chance. Get out of the way." His cold gaze caused Vera's legs to tremble. However, she had already promised to help Minerva, thus, she would help her until the end. She firmly stood her ground and said, "Minerva askedto convey this message to you. She will definitely be down in 5 minutes." "Five minutes? Ah!" Maddox sneered, "Then I'll go into the lounge and wait for her for five minutes." Vera was still in his way. He started growing impatient and he stared at her sharply, "Are you going to move out of my way or not?" Vera fell silent.

She gulped and her pupils constricted with fear.

Click! At that moment, the door of the lounge opened and Minerva walked out with an unamused expression on her face.

"All I asked was for you to wait forfor five minutes. Do you need to make things so difficult for Vera?" She closed the lounge door with the back of her hand and stared at Maddox coldly.

Maddox noticed that she closed the lounge door when she walked out of it. He approached her and Minerva staggered and almost fell in front of him.

Maddox quickly helped her up and asked, "What's wrong?" Minerva said in a weak voice, "I feel a little dizzy." "You feel dizzy?" Maddox asked.

She nodded. Then, she acted as if she thought of something all of a sudden and pushed Maddox away forcefully. She gritted her teeth and said, "I felt dizzy and wanted to lie down for a while. Do you really have to forceto open the door for you?" Maddox had his suspicions before, but right then, when he heard that she was ill, the suspicion in his heart disappeared.

His jet black eyes were filled with concern. He grabbed at Minerva's wrist and pulled her into his arms. He blamed her for her foolishness but he still cared for her.

"Why didn't you callif you didn't feel well?" "Why should I call you?" Minerva wanted to push him away again, but when she thought that she had finally gotten rid of his suspicions and got him to focus all his attention on her health, she stopped. Instead, she leaned into his arms obediently.

"Why should you call me?" Those words made Maddox a little unhappy. In the next second, he picked her up. Seeing that, Vera couldn't help feeling surprised. Then, she covered her mouth and retreated to a side.

Yes, it was better to keep silent and watch.

"Why should you call me?" Maddox repeated Minerva's question. He then proceeded to carry her out of the office. Before leaving, he said, "I'll leave with her first."

It took Vera a while to realize that Maddox was talking to her. She sighed as a response. After that, Minerva made a gesture to her, and Vera mouthed, "Don't worry" to Minerva. Just like that, Maddox carried Minerva out of the office. She did not resist him until they reached the front of the elevator.

"Putdown. I can walk by myself," Minerva said.

She did not resist previously because she wanted to keep his suspicions at bay.

She didn't know that Beanie would be at the office either.

Maddox frowned and ignored her words. He carried her tightly in his arms.

"Maddox!" Minerva pushed at his chest, "Hurry up and putdown. People will see us." "Then just let them see," Maddox lowered his head and looked deep into her eyes, "I don't care." "I care," Minerva replied.

That was her company. If her employees saw it, how would she face them in the future? itureFurthermore. She did not want others to think that she had something going on with Maddox.

With this thought in her mind, Minerva started to struggle with all her might.

Looking at Minerva struggling in his arms, Maddox frowned. "You're too weak to work. After working for brily 20 minutes, you nearly collapsed and you still want to be so stubborn with me?" She was not that weak. She was just putting on an act for him. Minerva secretly smiled in her heart; she recalled the horrible scene in the lounge just then.

At that time, she pulled Beanie into the lounge and locked the lounge's door from the inside. When she turned her head, Beanie was looking at her with a puzzled face.

X "Mommy, what are you doing?" Beanie asked.

Minerva felt a little guilty but she smiled and said, "Beanie, I need to tell you something. Can you promise me?" Beanie blinked his eyes that looked like black glass beads and asked innocently, "Mummy, what do you want to discuss with me?"
