"I could write up a contract if you don't believe me. When I leave your place, I will slowly return the money to you!" Kimberly Shell said when she saw him looking at her in distrust. She stepped forward anxiously.
"Stop right there."
Kimberly stopped in her track and looked at him at a loss.
"Step back."
Kimberly didn't know why but since it was Maddox's orders, she could only turn around.
And then?
"Get out."
What the hell? Wasn't the matter not solved yet? But in the company, he was her boss. Kimberly could only listen to him and leave the office.
Back at her own desk, Kimberly suddenly remembered Chandler Lovis, who was beaten up at the cafe that day. Maddox Yardley had said that he wanted to break his legs, but she didn't know... whether it was true or not.
"I hope that it's not true."
After turning on her laptop, Kimberly was ready to work. However, in less than two minutes, she was so sleepy that she started to doze off.
"No!" Kimberly held her head up. She was an assistant, and she had to work hard. She tried hard to keep herself awake. Kimberly held the documents for a long time, and finally banged her head on the hard table.
Boom!
Kimberly suddenly woke up after hitting her own forehead on the table.
It was so painful...
She couldn't continue reading the document anymore, so Kimberly put it down and got up to make herself a cup of coffee.
When she came back after brewing herself some coffee, she saw a familiar figure coming out of the elevator.
"Sister Kimberly."
It was Maddox's brother, Benedict Yardley.
"Hello, Vice President Yardley." Kimberly quickly greeted him. She knew her own place, so she called him Vice President Yardley whenever they were in the company.
Benedict walked towards her. He was wearing a white shirt, and he looked like a charming gentleman.
"You don't have to be so polite. We are family. Is Maddox here?"
Kimberly nodded. "He is in his office."
"Mmm." Before Benedict left, he glanced at Kimberly and smiled in a low voice. "Sister Kimberly, don't drink so much next time, okay? It's not good for your health." Hearing this, Kimberly was a little surprised. "Vice President Yardley?"
How did he know that she drank? Could it be that she still reeked of alcohol?
"Last night, when you and Maddox came back, I happened to meet you both." Benedict put his hand on her head and gently stroked her head. "Really, don't drink too much. It's not good for your stomach and skin."
Benedict said and went to the office to look for Maddox. Kimberly was stunned, and she reached out to touch her hair after a long time...
Did...Benedict just stroked her hair?"
Benedict was really a very gentle and kind man. His gentleness could be seen in his eyes and soft voice. Furthermore he was a really handsome man...
Kimberly suddenly reached out and patted her own head!
What was she thinking about?
"How could I think about these things?" Kimberly came to her senses and sat down.
Benedict entered the office and didn't come out for a long time. She didn't know why Benedict was looking for Maddox. Kimberly faintly had an ominous premonition and felt that something was going to happen.
Ten minutes later, the elevator doors opened again. This time, several people came out of the elevator. Kimberly looked at them and understood where her unknown premonition came from.
