Before Kimberly could finish speaking, Maddox glanced at her coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think that I will tell my auntie about this?"
Hearing this, Kimberly lowered her eyes slowly.
Yes, she was not pregnant with Maddox's child. This kind of thing could make him ashamed. How could he speak of it?
Kimberly felt her heart sink little by little.
"Since I'm fine now, I'll go out first," she whispered.
Maddox had no reason to ask her to stay. He nodded and responded, "Okay."
Kimberly returned to her work. Her eyes looked dull.
What was she thinking about?
Kimberly calmed her mind and concentrated on her work. Soon, it was time to get off work.
As soon as the time was up, her phone rang. Sylvia was texting her.
"Kimberly, I parked my car in front of a supermarket not far from your company. You can come over later."
"Okay."
Kimberly replied to her text and began to pack up, then she went downstairs with her bag.
When she passed by Maddox and Sam who were coming out of the office, she paused and went up to Maddox to inform him, "Urn... I won't go home with you tonight."
Maddox raised his eyebrows.
Kimberly explained quickly, "I have to find Sylvia."
"She's looking for that woman again?" Maddox thought and frowned slightly. "Is she your friend?" He asked.
Kimberly nodded quickly and answered, "Yes, we've known each other for a long time. I'm really looking for her, not someone else."
She was worried that Maddox would think that she was going to find another man, so she explained herself in advance.
Maddox stared at her. For some reason, her last sentence sounded very "melodious". She was afraid that he would misunderstand her. This meant that she still cared about his opinion.
"Okay." Maddox pursed his lips and said, "Sam will follow you."
Kimberly's expression changed slightly. "No, Sam has to send you home. It's not convenient for you to move around by yourself," she said.
Maddox raised his lips and looked at her with his sharp eyes, "Are you so worried about me?"
Kimberly's face blushed slightly. She ignored his question and muttered, "That's it, I'll go first."
Then, she ran off.
When she went downstairs, the crowd stepped back when they saw her. They thought she was a horrible person, probably because of what had happened at noon.
Kimberly quickened her pace and walked towards the supermarket. As expected, she saw Sylvia's car immediately. She walked over rapidly and knocked on the car window, but Sylvia was in a daze. She ignored her like she was thinking of something important.
Kimberly felt strange. She knocked on the window again and shouted,
"Sylvia?"
Sylvia still ignored her. Kimberly wondered what she was thinking about.
Kimberly had to pat harder on the window and call her name even louder for Sylvia to be brought back to reality and notice that Kimberly was there. She lowered the window down quickly.
"Kimberly, you're here," Sylvia said.
"What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about? I've been here for a long while," Kimberly smiled sweetly at her and went to the other side of the car.
Sylvia suddenly said, "Don't get in the car. Let's go to the third floor of the supermarket. There's a dessert shop there."
Dessert shop...
