Female Novel
Chapter 131
"Ah! What are you doing?" Kimberly exclaimed and tried to turn her head to look at her back.
"Don't move." Maddox frowned and looked at the zipper in confusion. He didn't understand how itbroke. "Let me see what's going on," he said.
Kimberly was furious. How could she leave the restroom later if the zipper was broken?
When she thought of how all her plans would be destroyed, she was outraged. Her heart felt as if itwas being gripped tightly.
"There's no need to look at it. Maddox, you did it on purpose, didn't you?" Kimberly questioned witha grime face.
Maddox was still looking at it, but when he heard her words, his hands stilled. He lifted his eyelidsslightly and stared at her with his dark eyes, asking, "Do you take me as that kind of person?"
"What else?" Kimberly was so pissed that her eyes turned red as she spoke, "Do you know howmuch effort I've put in for today? This is the first time I have seriously discussed a business since Ijoined the Yardley Corporation. Can't you take things more seriously? Why do you have to come outand make trouble, and even accuse me of seducing men? Anyway, in your eyes, I am just a whorewho only thinks about seducing men, right?"
As she spoke angrily, Maddox's eyes gradually darkened with each word she uttered. Kimberly'seyes were red and brimming with tears. When she straightened her back and was about to turnaround, Maddox put a piece of suit jacket around her body. She stopped moving and turned herhead, looking at him in surprise.
"You can wear this for now," he explained.
After giving her the suit jacket, there was only a white blouse left on Maddox's body. There was ahint of arrogance in his eyes.
He wanted her to wear his suit jacket?
Although she didn't want to, she was also very helpless. She couldn't go out with her naked backnow, could she?
In the end, Kimberly could only give him a ferocious stare. Then, she pulled the jacket tighteraround her body, opened the door and rushed out.
It just so happened that the restaurant manager had called someone to come over. Just as he wasabout to open the door, it was opened from the inside. Then, a girl rushed out of the restroom, hereyes were red.
"Huh? How did you come out from the inside? Wasn't the lock broken..." However, he stoppedspeaking when he saw Maddox. The restaurant manager looked back at the fast-moving figure andthen at Maddox, who was sitting in the wheelchair.
He suddenly realized what was going on...
Could it be that they were...
Before the thought came to his mind, Maddox glanced at him. The intense pressure rendered therestaurant manager speechless. When he fixed his gaze on Maddox, the manager's face changeddramatically and thought, "Isn't this President Yardley?"
He didn't expect him to be here...
"President, President Yardley!" The restaurant manager exclaimed in a nervous stutter.
Maddox pursed his lips coldly and asked in a light voice, "What did you see just now?"
The restaurant manager answered hurriedly, "I didn't see anything."
"Ha." Maddox smiled with satisfaction, "Well done. I'll give you a bonus at the end of this year."
The restaurant manager smiled flatteringly, "Thank you, President Yardley. I have to find someoneto fix the door lock since it is broken. President Yardley, you can go ahead with your business first."
Maddox glanced at him, acknowledging that the man was quite smart. He then straightened his tieand then left in his wheelchair.
After he left, the restaurant manager looked back at the two people following him and ordered,"Hurry up and fix the door lock."
The two men rolled their eyes inwardly and thought, "This lock is still good, how can we fix it?Should we repair it with air?"

When Kimberly reappeared at the table, she had a man's jacket on her shoulders.
Juliette looked at her strangely as she wondered, "Wasn't she in the restroom? Why did she..." Quillwas calmer than Juliette, he glanced at the jacket and then looked away.
Not long after Kimberly came in, Maddox returned as well. The suit jacket on his body haddisappeared. Juliette blinked her eyes and a light bulb flashed in her mind.
Sam did not know how to respond to the situation.
The atmosphere was so awkward.
"Well..." Kimberly forced herself to calm down. She put the documents she had prepared on thetable and said, "President Hanover, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule. It's a greathonor for our company to be able to have lunch with you. Please take a look at these documentsfirst."
Then, she put the documents on the table and pushed them towards him.
Finally, it was time to get to the point. Juliette let out a sigh of relief and took the documents. Shescanned through them and asked a few questions.
Since Maddox had also joined them, almost all the wine and dishes were served. When the waiterpoured the wine for them, Kimberly looked at the flowing liquid and felt very distressed.
Each drop of wine was her money spent.
Sigh.
Quill noticed her painful expression and managed to guess what was going on. There was a slightglint of humor in his dark eyes.
"President Hanover," Maddox called him with his icy tone, pulling him back to reality. Quill looked upat Maddox and their eyes met.
"Pleasure to do business with you."novelbin
Then, the two of them clinked their glasses.
At this time, someone pushed open the restaurant door anxiously. A pretty girl in a fashionable lightpink suit ran in and began to look around. When she saw Kimberly and Quill sitting face to face, herface blanched.
She was about to run over towards them. However, Sylvia suddenly thought of something.
"Won't I look guilty if I ran over so suddenly? Quill is so witty. He might realize something if I'm notcareful."
Thinking of this, Sylvia did not dare to run up to them directly.
She could only suppress the anxiety in her heart and walk towards them with a smile.
"Quill, why didn't you tell me you came back? Kimberly!" Sylvia said when she approached them.Her voice was full of expectation. Her cute expression was as though she was especially overjoyedto learn that Quill had returned to Hidalgo.
"Sylvia?" Kimberly heard her voice and moved her lips, "You're here?"
Sylvia walked directly to Kimberly and stood in front of her. She coughed softly and said, "Hey,Secretary Sharpio is also here. Are you guys having a business talk?"
Juliette nodded. Quill was still expressionless.
"I'm sorry, Quill, I didn't know you guys were having a business talk. I heard from the driver that youdidn't take his car after getting off the plane, so I came over. I didn't expect..." She flashed anapologetic smile.
Quill finally looked up at her and said in a steady voice,
"It's okay. Sit down."
"Thank you, Quill!" Sylvia quickly sat down next to Kimberly. She looked hopeful and happy on thesurface, but in fact, her heart was pounding.
After sitting down, she noticed that Maddox was also here. Her eyes lit up and she greeted him,
"Ah, Young Master Yardley is here too. Hello."
Maddox nodded in response.
Originally, they were just here to discuss the companies' cooperation. Now, somehow there weretwo more people at the table.
They were Maddox and Sylvia.
All of a sudden, Kimberly was clueless as to how to continue with the negotiation. She truly didn'tknow whether to laugh or cry at the current situation.
