Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 39

The maid was stunned.

"Second Young Master? What I said just now is all true. The Second Young Madam really did seduce the First Young Master. Don't you believe me?"

Maddox stared at her with a cold gaze. "Did anyone else see it apart from you?"

The maid thought that Maddox believed her. She shook her head. "I was alone at that time. But Second Young Master, I really did see it."

Maddox's lips were curled into a mocking smile when he heard that. "That is to say, no one can support your words since you were the only one who saw it."

The maid then realised what Maddox meant. "Second Young Master, I..." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Are you trying to make up a story because you're jealous?"

Maddox's eyes were dark. He shot daggers at her, his gaze was as if he had seen through her ill intentions. The maid was a little flustered.

"Second Young Master, I didn't lie to you. You must believe me."

"Oh?" Maddox sneered. "Are you saying that I shouldn't believe my own wife, and trust a servant instead?" The servant looked at his cold smile and her heart was instantly filled with regret. She had plotted against Kimberly because she thought that Maddox didn't care about her at all. She thought that Maddox would be grateful to her and even give her consent to bully Kimberly.

But she didn't expect that Maddox would react in this way.

"You were the one who drenched her clothes," he said with certainty.

The servant panicked all of a sudden. How could this be?

"Second Young Master, I..."

"The Yardley family does not need a servant like you, one who would sneak around and play little tricks on us." Maddox looked up. "If I hear you bullsh*ting about our family in the future, you will regret it."

Ding-

It was right at that moment that the elevator arrived on the lower floor. Maddox wheeled himself out of the elevator and left. The maid's legs suddenly went numb and she fell to the ground helplessly.

Meanwhile, after Kimberly changed her clothes, she turned to look at the coat next to her.

She thought for a moment and was about to pick it up and return it to Benedict, but as soon as she picked it up, she realized that the coat had been stained. It would be inappropriate for her to return it to him like that.

Kimberly took a paper bag and placed the coat inside. She planned to return it after having it dry- cleaned.

She finally left the house after completing all these.

She had been taking the bus to work recently. After arriving at the company, she would usually do a quick clean up of the office before returning to her desk.

When it was almost time, Maddox and Sam Sorrento appeared. Hearing the sound, Kimberly looked at Maddox's direction.

He continued to ignore her with a cold look on his face.

Kimberly withdrew her gaze and subconsciously clenched the pen in her hand.

She wasn't sure if she had guessed correctly...

Maddox seemed to be angry with her, but why?

Was it because of what had happened in the room, or because of Benedict?

Her mind was in a mess, but Kimberly put aside those thoughts and started with her work.

Maddox continued ignoring her even though she had entered his office to deliver a document and to refill his coffee.

When Kimberly went to the cafeteria for lunch at noon, she heard people gossiping around her.

"Hey, have you heard? It seems that Yardley Corporation is going to cancel its collaboration with Lovis Enterprises."

"Really? It was such an important collaboration, why did they cancel it all of a sudden?" "I heard that it was Young Master Yardley's decision. It was made during the meeting this morning."

Hearing this, Kimberly's hand paused. "It was decided in the meeting this morning? Did they even hold a meeting this morning? Why didn't she know about it?"

"Young Master Yardley's decision? Will Old Master Yardley agree to it?"

"I don't know what's going on either. Young Master Yardley doesn't usually behave like this. Why did he cancel the collaboration with Lovis Enterprises? How strange."

Kimberly held the spoon next to her lips, yet she couldn't eat.

She felt a little uncomfortable. She recalled the way Sam had kicked Chandler Lovis while he was harassing her yesterday. She also remembered what Maddox had said next.

"That's such a generous gift, President Lovis. Are you begging to work for our company?"

"Unfortunately, even if you kneel down and beg my assistant, I won't cooperate with a third- grade company like Lovis Enterprises."

She remembered that before the banquet, he had asked her to contact Chandler. He obviously knew the importance of collaborating with Lovis Enterprises. Despite that, he decided to cancel their collaboration, just like that.

Could it be... because...

Kimberly didn't dare to think about it anymore, nor did she have the appetite to continue eating. She took the plate, got up, and went upstairs.

The office was quiet when Kimberly knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Maddox's voice was still cold and monotonous.

Kimberly took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and then walked in.

Maddox didn't raise his head and his eyes were focused on his laptop.

He was still dealing with work and the cup of coffee on his desk was already empty. It was obvious that he did not have lunch yet. Kimberly was just about to remind him to have his meal when Maddox suddenly raised his eyes. When he saw that it was her, he raised his eyebrows and tapped on his desk with his fingertips. "Get me more coffee."

"Okay." Kimberly walked over and picked the cup up. After she had turned around, she couldn't help but turn to look at him again. "It's lunchtime. You'd better eat before continuing with work."

"It's not good for your tummy if you skip your meal and just have coffee while you work..."

Kimberly said in her heart.

But it seemed like Maddox didn't hear what she had just said.

"Young Master Yardley, you..."

"I told you to get me coffee, didn't I? Are you trying to lecture me?"

Kimberly held the cup tightly in her hand. She swallowed her anger and then turned around to get him more coffee.

After putting the coffee on his desk, Kimberly couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Young Master Yardley, drinking coffee on an empty stomach will harm your stomach."

Maddox's fingers paused for a moment. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Kimberly.

Kimberly was flustered by his sharp gaze. She could only explain hesitatingly, "As... your assistant, I have the right to remind you of this."

"Pfft, are you pretending to care about me? Is this also one of your little tricks?" Maddox sneered at her sarcastically.

This made Kimberly very angry. She bit her lower lip and wanted to refute him. But when she thought about the failed collaboration with Lovis Enterprises, Kimberly felt the urge to ask about it.

"I heard that there was a meeting in the morning."

Maddox did not answer her.

"The collaboration with Lovis Enterprises..."

"What? Did you think that I canceled the collaboration with Lovis Enterprises because of you?"

Kimberly said, "I..."

"Don't think too much." Maddox snorted coldly. "Chandler likes to play around. He's not serious enough when it comes to business dealings. This is a long- term project. Chandler is not qualified to collaborate with us." It turned out that it was not because of her.

Kimberly finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was really because of her, she would feel very guilty.

"So, what has this got to do with a mere assistant like you?" Maddox sneered and stared at her mockingly. "You really think you're so great, don't you?"

Kimberly bit her lower lip. "I don't."

"No? You have been wanting to say something from the moment you came in, but you didn't. Didn't you want to talk about this?"
