"I'm afraid it's not convenient."
Maddox rejected her at once.
"I want to meet you now."
Minerva expressed great shock by his words. Then, her temples suffered from pain also.
"Tell me your location and I'll pick you up myself."
"Mr. Yardley."
"It's easy to identify your current location." Maddox laughed in a low voice. "But are you sure about it?"
Minerva took a deep breath and smiled. "Please send me the address. I'll take a taxi there."
After she finished her sentence, she hung up the phone at once.
Maddox, the b*stard!
Minerva gnashed her teeth in anger. He had done it on purpose!
Indeed, with Maddox's ability in North City, he could track her whereabouts. However, she had Beanie along with her now. She didn't want him to know about Beanie's existence.
Therefore, she had to compromise eventually.
After hanging up the phone, Minerva restrained her rage and walked forward.
"What's wrong? Who called you early in the morning?"
Quill asked when she approached him.
Minerva laughed softly. "It's not a big deal. It's just a client."
"A client? Are all of you occupied with work recently?"
"We are doing fine. We received orders from a female star. She recommended a large number of clients to us as well."
Quill nodded. "That's great. It's a good start."
"Quill, Vera, I have something to attend to, so I have to make a move first. Please take care of Beanie."
Vera initially stared curiously at her. However, when she heard Minerva's words, she went white. She then quickly stepped forward and pulled Minerva aside.
"What's going on? Did Maddox ask you to go over again?"
Minerva shrugged her shoulders impotently.
Vera continued angrily, "If you leave now, then it's just me and Quill. That's extremely awkward."
Upon hearing her words, Minerva instantly burst into laughter. "Isn't that exactly what you desire? You can get along with him alone."
Minerva stretched out her hand and patted Vera's shoulder. She blinked her eyes and said, "Come on, I have faith in you."
"Wow, Minerva, you're crossing the line!" Vera turned crimson in embarrassment after being teased by her, chewing on her bottom lip. "Quill doesn't like me. Besides... I can recall vividly what happened last time when I was in front of him. I... I can't even face him now."
"It's up to you. Anyway, he is still single now. If you are bold enough, you may stand a chance with him. What if he wants to get married some day? Then, you may have lost your chance."
As she spoke, her phone started vibrating again. Minerva glanced at it and saw that it was a message sent by Maddox.
"Well, I've received the address. I'll get going now. Please take care of Beanie and Quill, and lend me your mobile phone."
"Well, come back early. Remember to call Quill if there's anything."
"Understood."
Minerva walked out of the school and went to the roadside to hail a taxi. When she got in the car, she opened her mobile phone to view the address.
However, after seeing the address, Minerva's eyes darkened at once.
Ocean Villa...
This was the place where she had stayed five years ago.
As soon as she caught sight of the address, it was like ocean waves surged into her mind, collided and exploded when she remembered what happened five years ago.
"Miss? Miss?"
