"I had something to do." Kimberly Shell told herself that she could not disclose it no matter what! It was Old Master Yardley's order. If she exposed it, it would be equivalent to betraying the Old Master, which would make the relationship between the Old Master and the Second Young Master worse.
Thinking of this, Kimberly pursed her lips and denied.
"Ha." Maddox Yardley narrowed his eyes intimidatingly and stared at her. "I'll give you one last chance. Tell me the truth!"
His voice was cold and ruthless. Greatly shocked, Kimberly bit her lower lip and said, "I just went out to buy something. Besides, my one month's salary has been deducted, and I did not reject it. Is there any need for the Young Master to know what I was doing?"
Maddox paused and glared at her with his long and narrow eyes. "Say that again."
Kimberly grabbed her mobile phone and retreated outside. As she stepped backward, she said, "I don't want to!"
Maddox frowned, "Where are you going to?"
"Staying further away from you!"
After that, Kimberly turned around and ran out.
She quickly ran out of the room and prepared to go look for the maid. She looked back as she walked. When she saw that Maddox did not catch up with her, Kimberly breathed a sigh of relief. Then she took out her mobile phone and looked at the screen. Sylvia had sent her a text.
Sylvia: "I'm heading over now. Wait for my good news."
It seemed that Sylvia was going to get the button back. Kimberly felt that she didn't have to worry about it so much.
She stayed outside for a long time, waiting for Sylvia's call.
After waiting for a long time, Sylvia finally called her, "It's done. You can rest assured now."
Kimberly was a little excited and asked in a low voice, "Did you get it?"
"Yes, I've got it. Should I take a photo of it for you?"
"No, as long as you've got the button. But... how did you do it? Wouldn't you be discovered?"
"Don't worry. How could you doubt my abilities? Kimberly, you should rest. By the way, you should know what to do if people start questioning you, right? Anyway, I have other things to attend to, so I'll hang up now!"
After that, Sylvia hung up the phone. Kimberly stood still, a little confused. Sylvia had always been reliable, so this matter should have come to an end, right?
While she was thinking, the maid who had cleaned up the room ran over, panting.
"Second Young Madam." Kimberly put away her phone and composed herself.
"What's wrong?"
The maid was in a panic. She bit her lower lip and said, "Second Young Madam, I... I'm sorry! Rainie just told me that she accidentally lost your button."
Upon hearing what she said, Kimberly frowned, and asked "What do you mean? She lost the button?"
"On the way back from the store, she accidentally got into a car crash. Everything was scattered all over the ground. She got back all her stuff, except for the button..."
A car crash...
Kimberly's eyelids twitched, and she took a step forward. "A car accident? Was she injured?"
The maid was startled and she stammered, "No, no, she's alright. But everything fell to the ground."
Listening to her words, Kimberly heaved a sigh of relief.
Sylvia really scared Kimberly to death. She must be crazy to have carried out such a plan!
"Second Young Madam, Rainie is not injured, but she lost your button. What should we do..." The maid did not forget about the maid who was fired. It was said that she was fired because she spilled the milk on the Second Young Madam. When she left, she said a lot of bad stuff about Kimberly.
Therefore, to the maids, the Second Young Madam was a really scary person, and they didn't want to make her angry. "Forget it." Kimberly frowned and thought for a long time before she relaxed again. "It's just a button. Since we can't find it anymore, then I'll just pretend that I'd lost it."
"But... isn't that button very important to you?"
"It is very important, but your safety is also very important. I can't hold you responsible just for a button, can I? It's okay if you can't find it, but don't mention this button again in the future, otherwise... I may think of it again."
The maid nodded immediately, "Don't worry, I won't mention it again. I'll tell Rainie too. Thank you for your understanding, Second Young Madam!"
"I'll be going then."
