Chapter 113

"What's wrong?" Maddox narrowed his eyes into a sinister gaze and asked, "Do you have anyobjections?"

Kimberly was shocked and lowered her eyes subconsciously, answering, "No, no."

However, she felt very strange that Maddox... had changed his mind just because he had slept withher. It sounded unimaginably weird.

She wanted to ask him if he didn't mind that the baby in her belly was not his own.

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back down.

What was she looking forward to? He didn't like this child at all, and he even wanted to terminateher pregnancy. Although she didn't know why he changed his mind, they had made a deal. After sixmonths, she had to leave.

Back in the room, Kimberly became silent.

Maddox returned the two phones to her.

"Did that woman give it to you?" He asked.

At first, Kimberly was dumbfounded. After realizing who he was talking about, she frowned andreplied, "Don't say that. Sylvia has a name!"

After that, she unlocked her phone with her fingerprints and asked, "You didn't search for somethingon my phone, did you?" Maddox's brows lifted with anger, asking, "Are there any secrets on it?"

Kimberly looked up at him and answered, "There is no secret, but I don't like other people spying onmy personal stuff. It is private. You have your own privacy too, don't you?"

Maddox sneered and asked, "We are husband and wife, yet you talk about privacy with me?"

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

Didn't they make a deal? They were not a real couple.

However, she stayed silent. She turned around and put her phone on the table. Then, she packedher clothes and said, "I'm going to take a shower."

She then went into the bathroom.

After taking a hot shower, Kimberly returned to her small bed.

Maddox was not in the room, so she hurriedly hid under the quilt and opened the WhatsAppapplication on her phone. She quickly scrolled through her chat with Sylvia.

She noticed Sylvia had sent her a text message.

"Kimberly, are you free tomorrow? Let's meet up."

Kimberly felt her heart beat faster when she saw this message.

"What's wrong?" She replied.

A message came in soon after, "Finally, you replied to me. I thought you were ignoring me."

Kimberly frowned and texted, "Sylvia, what's wrong?"

Sylvia replied, "Nothing, I just have something to tell you."

Kimberly then texted, "That's good. Let's meet after work tomorrow."

After they made the appointment, Kimberly quickly deleted all the previous chat records. Seeing theempty conversation box, she was finally relieved.

After putting away her phone, she covered herself with the quilt and was ready to sleep.

She fell asleep very quickly. Probably because she was too exhausted from last night.

In the middle of the night, Kimberly felt a soft sensation on her lips, which quickly disappeared.

She turned over to lay on her side and continued to sleep.

The next day.

When Kimberly woke up, Maddox had already come out of the bathroom.

Usually, she would wake up earlier than Maddox. But that day, she...

Thinking of this, she got up quickly and went into the bathroom to wash up. Then, she heardMaddox's rough voice from outside, "Hurry up."novelbin

Kimberly paused for a moment and nodded obediently.

When she finished packing, she thought that Maddox had already left. She didn't expect that he wasstill waiting for her outside. "Why are you... still here?" Kimberly asked curiously.

Maddox seemed to be a little awkward, and he sounded a little frustrated.

"This is my room. Why can't I be here?" He asked back.

"No, I mean... why haven't you gone to the company yet?" Kimberly asked again.

In the past, he would have already been long gone by this point. Kimberly would take the bus afterhe left.

The blue veins on Maddox's forehead twitched. He brushed her question off and ordered, "Comeand push me."

"Okay," Kimberly did not resist his order. She walked over and helped him downstairs. After that,she pushed him into the car and was ready to leave.

When Kimberly was about to get out of the car, Maddox asked coldly, "Where are you going?"

She turned around and said, "I'm catching the bus to work..."

Maddox curled his lips into a mocking smile and asked, "Why don't you take my car? And why mustyou tell me that you will take the bus?"

Kimberly didn't know what had happened, but she didn't say anything. She walked back to his sideand sat down.

When they arrived at the company, many people saw Kimberly getting out of Maddox's car, causinga stir throughout the crowd.

"What's going on? Isn't that Assistant Shell? Why did she get out of Young Master Yardley's car?"

"That's right. Didn't Young Master Yardley take off from the Yardley family? Why would AssistantShell be with him? Are they hiding something?"

"In the past, Young Master Yardley didn't have a female assistant. Assistant Shell had appeared outof the blue and suddenly became his assistant. Now, she even showed up in the same car as him.Hehe, this kind of woman doesn't have any true capability. She is more capable in bed."

"Hey, how did she become his assistant? Look at her, she looks like she can't do anything. She isnot good-looking and has no figure as well. What does Young Master Yardley see in her?"

"Dear, although Young Master Yardley is the president of the Yardley Corporation, he is disabled.And I heard that he is impotent! I don't know what kind of trick this woman played."

"Shh, it has always been taboo to talk about Young Master Yardley, especially about all this. Howdare you say that? Do you want to die?"

"What are you afraid of? We are just talking about it. Young Master Yardley can't hear us."

Pushing Maddox to the president's private elevator, Kimberly felt all eyes on her. She could feeleveryone gathering around and gossiping behind her back.

They must be discussing her relationship with Maddox.

She stared at the back of Maddox's head. She did not understand why he had suddenly asked herto get in his car and come to the company on that day. Could it be because...

The more she thought, the more her expression changed.

If this matter had changed her relationship with Maddox, she would rather not do anything.

Although she didn't know the reason, she resisted the relationship between her and Maddox. It wasformed by a wrong act.

She was very resistant to it.

After pushing Maddox into the office, Kimberly went to the pantry to make him a cup of coffee.

When Kimberly brought the coffee for him, she noticed his eyes were fixed on her. She immediatelyavoided his gaze.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go out to work first," she said politely.

After that, she returned to her desk without waiting for his reply.

Maddox looked at her figure. She sounded like she was fleeing from an enemy. He squinted hiseyes.

She seemed to be avoiding him, wasn't she?

Why?

It took Kimberly a whole morning to get to know about Fisher Enterprises. After that, she wentdownstairs to eat during lunch hour.

She had completely forgotten that she had entered the company with Maddox this morning. Shedidn't realize it until she noticed the stares she was getting. "Hey, aren't you Assistant Shell?"

A few girls sat down opposite her.

"You've already hooked up with President Yardley. Why are you still eating in the canteen?"

"Oh, even if she hooked up with President Yardley, she is not his wife. If she doesn't eat in thecanteen, where else do you think she will be eating at?"

Kimberly was speechless. Did they want to make trouble?
