Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 408

Vera paused for a moment before she did as instructed.

She and Minerva had typed up a quotation that day but had not finalized it yet.

She handed the printed quotation over to Maddox politely.

"Please have a look at our quotation. We've offered you a special discount as our company is relatively new. If you like our designs and recommend us to more clients, we will send you a complimentary design on your birthday every year."

Minerva spoke calmly. Even Vera could not resist glancing at her with a hint of surprise.

She could not figure out how Minerva could be so calm about all this.

Maddox looked at the quotation before him as she spoke.

Even though he did not show it, he was inwardly mad at her.

Maddox did not speak a word even after Minerva's introduction. She did not seem to think anything of it.

An eerie silence fell upon the office. Maddox did not once look up from the piece of paper he was holding in his hands.

No one knew what he was thinking.

A moment later, he suddenly curled his lips into a smile.

"Is that so? Well, do I get the privilege to set some conditions?"

Minerva's eyes flickered to his and asked for clarification, "What do you mean by that?"

Maddox laid the quotation on the table then. He tapped his fingers on the table and bore his eyes into hers as he said, "Can I pick the designer I want to work with?"

Vera's face paled a little at that and she held her breath.

She was now sure that Maddox was after Minerva.

In the beginning, she thought it might have been a coincidence. However, after acknowledging Minerva's calm acceptance towards the whole situation, it seems like that wasn't the case.

Maddox's actions all indicated that he was there for Minerva.

Minerva paused for a brief moment before she nodded at him with a smile.

"That can be arranged. After you sign a contract with us, you can pick the designer you want to work with if you have one in mind."

Needless to say, Maddox was trying to get closer to Minerva through work. With a final tap on the table, he decided, "Alright, let's sign it now then."

Vera could not believe her ears. The deal was done? Just like that?

On the other hand, Minerva did not seem the least bit startled, "Don't you need to think it over? After all, you're still not familiar with our company's work. What if..."

"There's no need forthat. I'm certain."

Maddox stared intensely at Minerva as he interjected.

He had already set his mind to this.

"Alright then. Could you wait here for a moment? Well have to prepare the contract and bring it over to you. Can I have your ID card for identification purposes?"

Maddox nodded, handing her his ID card accordingly.

With that, Vera and Minerva excused themselves for a moment to get all the documents in order for the contract.

As they had a limited number of employees in the company, Minerva handled most of the work alone.

When Minerva followed Vera, Vera pinched her in the arm good- naturedly, "What are you trying to do? You're injured, I'll handle it. Don't worry..."

Upon hearing this, Minerva snapped back to her senses, lowering her gaze to look at her bandaged hands.

Vera was right. She was no help now that she was injured.

It had been a force of habit to offer her help.

On the other hand, Maddox was left pondering upon his interaction with Minerva. Throughout the conversation, he could not remove his gaze from her

face.

When she had gotten up to excuse herself, Maddox took the time to give her a thorough once over.

Within five years, he thought that she had transformed into an extremely charming woman.
