Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 407

When Minerva noticed how pale and nervous Vera looked, she questioned, "Why did you rush over to me? Aren't you the one in charge of handling new clients?"

After listening to her words, Vera turned even paler. She swallowed nervously and started to explain, "The client specified that he wanted to meet with you..."

Minerva blinked a little in confusion, "Me?"

Vera nodded fervently at that.

She looked drawn and could not for the life of her stop catching her breath. Minerva thought there was more to it though. She didn't think that such a simple demand from a client would render Vera so panicked.

She knew that something was off. That client...

All of a sudden, something snapped into her mind. She could not do anything but stare a little longer at Vera, unable to move her lips.

Vera on the other hand, was chewing on her bottom lip, trying desperately to avoid her gaze.

"Clatter!"

Minerva felt her heartbeat quicken. She turned to Nash without any hesitation, "Nash, please send Beanie back first. Tell Quill that I have something urgent to attend to. I'll take a taxi back later." "I don't... But Mr. Hanover told me to..." Nash started

to protest.

"Don't worry, Nash. I'm just going to meet a client. I'll take good care of myself. Tell my brother to rest assured."

"Beanie, leave with Nash first. I'll be back a little later to keep you company, alright?"

When Beanie saw the troubled look Minerva and Auntie Vera shared, he nodded meekly without making a fuss,"Okay Mommy. Nash, let's head back first. I'll tell Uncle about Mommy's situation."

With that, they departed back home.

Minerva took a deep breath, and redirected her gaze back at Vera.

Vera paled slightly and cast Minerva a terrified look.

Throughout these five years, she had rarely looked at her like that.

Minerva remembered the one time Vera had looked at her the same way was when Minerva had been struggling to give birth and had suffered excessive bleeding when she was giving birth to Beanie.

Vera's look unsettled her deeply.

Minerva roughly knew who the client was already.

"Let's go then," she sighed, holding Vera's hand and dragged her along.

When they entered the elevator, Minerva appeared to have calmed down which confused Vera, "Why aren't you asking me more questions?"

Minerva cast a questioning glance at her.

Vera thought that Minerva was unusually calm and

quiet. Did this mean...

"You already know, don't you?" Vera said, trembling a little as she did.

Minerva merely kept her head down and remained silent.

"Is he the person you asked me to blacklist this morning? Minerva, are you sure you want to go see him now?" Vera asked nervously, clutching her hand.

Minerva smiled as soon as she heard this. She raised her head, met Vera's gaze and said, "Yes, why not?"

With an indifferent stare, she continued, "He's here for business after all; he's a client."

Vera did not know what to say to that.

She loosened her grip on Minerva's hand, finally leaning feebly against the elevator wall.

"Ding!"

The door of the elevator opened.

Minerva walked out numbly, leaving a stupefied Vera in the elevator staring after her as she thought.

Did that incident not bother Minerva anymore?

Meanwhile, in the office...
