When Maddox spoke, his intense gaze met hers and then it drifted to her lips.
He couldn't help lowering his head.
Minerva felt even more humiliated. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. "Mr. Yardley, did I say so?"
Maddox paused and his eyes were a little hazy. "Yes?"
Immediately, his pupils suddenly contracted and his expression changed slightly.
Minerva retracted her leg and took a few steps back.
"I won't go easy on you if it happens the next time." Minerva clapped her hands and crossed her arms. She kicked Maddox to the extent that he had bulging veins on his forehead. "Are you aware about it now?"
Maddox's face darkened and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
D*mn it, this woman was really ruthless!
It was unbelievable!
Maddox suffered great pain and felt weak all over. He looked up at her, while she merely stood there, staring at him with a smile.
"You seem to be in pain. I'm afraid that we can't talk about work today. Why don't I come another day?"
After saying that, Minerva took a deep breath and looked around.
"What a pity. I thought that I could go to the Yardley Corporation's office in the North City today. I'll make a move first.¹' After saying this, Minerva smiled at Maddox and turned to leave.
She stood in front of the lift, pressed the button and watched the lift ascend level by level. Minerva was glad that she was finally leaving that place.
She abruptly heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind her. Just as she was about to turn around, she was lifted up by Maddox into the air and carried on his shoulder.
"Ah!" Even a calm woman like Minerva was stunned by this action, and she cried out in surprise.
She came back to her senses, recalling that she was wearing a skirt that day. Wouldn't her lower body be exposed if he was carrying her on his shoulder in such a manner? She panicked at the thought of it and said hurriedly, "Put me down. Maddox!"
Had she underestimated him? Originally, she thought that he would feel pain for a long time, yet she did not expect... that he actually had the strength to lift her up and walk at a fast pace.
Bang!
Maddox kicked open the door of the office and walked in with Minerva on his shoulder.
Sam was working next door at that moment. When he heard the sound of the door, he went to check it out, but failed to catch sight of Maddox.
He then hurried forward and intended to check on Maddox. All of a sudden, a female voice sounded from the office.
"Hurry up and let me down. Maddox, what are you up to?"
"What the f*ck!"
Sam was taken aback.
What... did he just hear?
Was he currently seeing someone after remaining single for five years? Furthermore... he had brought a woman to his office?
Sam rubbed his eyes in disbelief and gaped at his office.
Could it be that he was seeing things? Nonetheless, he heard the sound coming from the office again. He came to the realization that Maddox had really brought a woman to his office.
Sam felt curious at once. Could this woman be Maddox's Facebook friend?
Sam was engrossed in his thoughts as he returned to his place.
