Female Novel
Chapter 128
She was skinny, and her slender body was wrapped in a light blue skirt. Her fair skin complimentedthe skirt, making it look extremely elegant. Her smooth waist- length hair hung on both sides of hershoulders, and her pronounced facial features were extremely tender under the airport lights.
Time had been kind to her. Her beautiful posture overlapped with a familiar figure in Quill's memory.
Quill subconsciously halted his steps, his eyes staring at her distinctly.
Juliette had been following behind Quill for quite a long time, and she also noticed the visible greatchange in Quill the moment he laid his eyes on Kimberly.
"President Hanover, are you alright? Are we really going to take the same car as her?" Julietteasked.
"I'm fine," Quill replied as he came to himself, and soon they walked up to Kimberly.
When Quill and Juliette came to Kimberly, she flashed her signature smile on her face. In fact,Kimberly had practiced this particular smile many times before the two arrived. He was thepresident of the Hanover Corporation, and he had done so many favors for her. Hence,nervousness unknowingly crept upon Kimberly.
"Hello, President Hanover. I'm Kimberly Shell, the assistant of Maddox Yardley from the YardleyCorporation." When she introduced herself, she did not reach out to him for a handshake. Instead,she bowed at Quill humbly.
"I've got the car ready. If President Hanover and Secretary Sharpio don't mind, you two can take mycar," Kimberly spoke again.
Quill's faint gaze fell on her face, and his voice sounded lukewarm, asking, "Can you drive?"
Hearing this, Kimberly blushed and nodded, "Yes."
When Kimberly went out that morning, she had asked Sam to lend her a car. Sam wasn't willing toat first, but then he somehow agreed later. Kimberly could drive as she had learned how to drive acar before and had a driver's license.
Moreover, her driving skills were pretty good.
Quill was quite surprised, but Juliette asked, "Assistant Shell, for safety measures, I want to ask ifyou have a driving license."
Kimberly nodded in response.
Then, Quill and Juliette got into Kimberly's car.
Quill's gaze had been following Kimberly ever since he saw her. Even as he sat in the back seat, hiscold and serious gaze fell on the back of her head.
This gaze made Kimberly feel somewhat timid.
As far as she knew, Quill was a very old-fashioned and solemn person. Even if one actively soughtafter his attention, he wouldn't spare more than one glance at the person.
But why was he staring at her?
Kimberly straightened her back and thought, "Is Quill just secretly a massive pervert?" Juliette alsonoticed the drastic change in the president. Indeed, Quill seemed like a pervert with the way he wasstaring at Kimberly. Besides, she also felt Kimberly breathing uneasily, thus she lowered her voiceand explained on Quill's behalf, "Miss Shell, there are many pedestrians on this road. Please drivecarefully."
Her words brought Kimberly back to reality.
What was she thinking about?
He might have been worried about her driving skills and was staring at her just to remind her. Yet,here she was, overthinking.
How could she judge him with her own despicable mind?
Kimberly put away her messy emotions and focused on driving carefully.
Half an hour later, she stopped the car in front of a high-end restaurant.
Kimberly handed the car over to the manager to park it, and then she led Quill and Juliette into therestaurant.
Juliette followed behind Quill. Looking at this restaurant, the corner of her mouth couldn't help butraised as she was impressed. Kimberly was truly quite sincere. She was even able to find out whichrestaurant was President Hanover's favourite.
As soon as they sat down, the waiter served the dishes the restaurant had prepared beforehand.
Quill remained silent.
Juliette thought, "Good job! She even knows President Hanover's taste. It seems that Maddox'sassistant... is quite sincere."
Kimberly rubbed her hands nervously. She bit her lower lip and said, "President Hanover, these arethe dishes I've asked the staff to prepare in advance. You must be exhausted after a long journey.We can eat first and discuss the cooperation later."
After that, Kimberly sat on the opposite side of the table and looked at Quill with a smile. Herexpression resembled that of a kitten revealing a smile all of a sudden, which looked quite strange.
One minute later...
The smile on Kimberly's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a faint embarrassment."Urn... President Hanover, do you have any opinions?" She asked.
Quill's indifferent gaze fell on her face.
Kimberly swallowed hard.
After a long while, Quill picked up the fork and spoon. Only then Kimberly breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Quill said in an icy tone, "Thank you."
At first, Kimberly thought she had misheard him. Then, she realized that he was thanking her. Shecouldn't help but crack a sweet smile.
In the autumn afternoon, a few rays of sunshine shone in through the glass window. The restaurantwas very quiet, and it was playing gentle, well-known classical music. Kimberly was dressed in alight blue dress, sitting there and looking particularly warm and elegant.
When Maddox learned that Quill had taken Kimberly's car, he frowned and asked Sam to follow himto the restaurant.
At this moment, he happened to see this scene from outside, and he narrowed his eyesintimidatingly.
He had only left her alone for a moment, and yet this woman had already dressed up beautifully toattract other men's attention.
Also, who asked her to put down her hair? The meeting was just for work purposes. Why did shedress up so attractively?novelbin
Sam was standing beside Maddox and felt the faint anger starting to boil up inside him. He askedcautiously, "Young Master Yardley, shall we go in too? I think it's more appropriate for you tonegotiate with President Hanover. If you hand this matter over to Assistant Shell, I'm afraid theresult will be unsatisfactory."
Maddox did not speak, but the cold aura around his body was extremely frightening. Sam curled hislips and asked again, "Shall I go in and say hello first?"
Maddox then spoke, "... Why would you go in and say hello? Do you think we're at a friendgathering?"
Sam didn't know how to respond.
He was just trying to give Maddox a reason to go in.
Maddox said, "Push me in. I'd like to see how many men she wants to seduce."
Seduce men? Sam was speechless. He pushed Maddox into the restaurant. Along the way, hespoke on behalf of Kimberly, "I think it's pretty decent for Assistant Shell to dress like this, how couldshe be seducing men?" "She deliberately dressed up," Maddox reminded him with a cold smile.
Sam looked inside again and retorted, "Young Master Yardley, it seems that Assistant Shell didn'teven put on makeup. Also, that dress she's wearing looks like the one you bought her."
Maddox was speechless.
Suddenly, he felt a little pain in his face as if he was slapped.
Did that mean he couldn't stand it when she wore the clothes he had bought for her to go and seeother men?
Besides, you were the one who asked her to handle the matter, right?" Sam asked.
It was another slap in Maddox's face.
Maddox sneered and said, "I think you don't want your job anymore."
Sam simply played along, "There is no such thing. How can Young Master Yardley do such a self-humiliation thing? Indeed, why did Assistant Shell dress up today? It's just for work purposes, butwhy is she acting so fancifully?"
"... Since when are you in a position to gossip about my woman?" Maddox retorted.
Sam chuckled inwardly.
Kimberly was very excited when she saw Quill eating the dishes she had prepared. Needless tosay, she had forgotten to eat her food and kept staring at Quill instead. Her unwavering gaze madeJuliette feel awkward. However, Quill was like a block of ice. He didn't seem to feel anything strangeand was unfazed by her stare. He only continued eating with a blank expression on his face.
