Female Novel
Chapter 179
Kimberly stood at the entrance of the company with the gift box in her arms, waiting for Sylvia.
When Maddox's car stopped, Sylvia opened the door and pushed Maddox down from the car. Shesmiled and looked at Kimberly, "Hey, what do you have over there?"
As soon as Sylvia finished speaking, Kimberly felt a sharp gaze fall on her.
Maddox's cold eyes were pinned on her firmly like a poisonous snake staring at its prey. Kimberlysubconsciously shrunk back and tightened her grip on the box.
She did it subconsciously, but to Maddox, it looked like she had treasured the box very much.
He saw her go into Benedict's car empty-handed, but now she was holding a box.
What did this mean?novelbin
Maddox thought in disdain, "Oh, she must have really put in a lot of effort to gain Benedict'saffection."
"It's nothing," Kimberly replied in a soft voice, her grip tightening some more.
Sylvia smiled and pushed Maddox forward. He was getting very close to her, and Kimberly couldfeel the intimidating aura emanating from his body enveloping her.
She took a step back, trying to escape the trap of his cold energy.
Sylvia then asked, "Did Benedict give you this gift? You didn't have this box with you when you gotinto the car, right?"
Hearing this, Kimberly's expression became somewhat awful. She silently wished that Sylvia wouldstop talking.
Kimberly squinted at Sylvia desperately, but she didn't get the hint. Sylvia was oblivious to what washappening.
Kimberly was anxious, but she couldn't say it out loud.
Luckily, Benedict had parked his car and was already walking over to them. He smiled andanswered Sylvia's questions.
"It's nothing, I asked her to help me pass it to my colleagues."
"I see. I thought it was from you." Speaking of this, Sylvia pursed her lips and tittered. The look inher eyes implied that she suspected something fishy happening between the both of them. At first,Kimberly thought that Sylvia couldn't understand her signal earlier.
But then she realized that Sylvia was doing it on purpose!
Because...
Sylvia had known that Benedict was the unknown man who had slept with Kimberly that night!
Thinking of this, Kimberly's face turned a little pale. She turned around and said, "Let's go in." Then,she left quickly.
"What's wrong with her?" Sylvia pretended to ask in concern.
Benedict merely squinted his eyes at her and then followed after Kimberly.
After they left, Sylvia wanted to push Maddox forward, but Sam reacted before she did.
He said, "Miss Hanover, let me do it."
"It's okay, I'll do it." Sylvia did not step back. She stood her ground and didn't let Sam pushMaddox's wheelchair.
Of course, Sam could not let her do as she wished. He pushed his tall figure forward and insisted,"There's no need, Miss Hanover. After all, you are not familiar with the company. Let me do it."Before Sylvia could react, he had already pushed Maddox away.
Sylvia was stunned and just stared at Sam's back in shock.
She didn't know if it was just her overthinking, but she felt that Sam was very hostile towards herrecently. Why? Was it because of Kimberly?
Sam quickly moved forward, trying to catch up with Kimberly and Benedict and entered the elevator.When he saw Sylvia was about to enter the elevator as well, he immediately pressed the closebutton.
"Hey, wait for me!" Sylvia shouted after him as the elevator doors started to shut.
"Humph, I won't wait for you, you vile woman!"
Sam cursed silently. The next second, a petite figure rushed out of the elevator.
It was Kimberly who had rushed out. She said, "You guys can go up first. I'll go up with Sylvia later."
Ding-
The elevator door closed right after she finished her words, and Kimberly stood in front of Sylvia.
"Sylvia," she said.
"Kimberly..." Sylvia looked at the closed elevator. There was a trace of disappointment in her eyes.
She had wanted to take the same elevator as Maddox, but she couldn't do that now.
"I'll go up with you. Let's take another elevator," Kimberly said as she took her to another elevator.As the elevator took them upstairs, Sylvia looked at the box in her hand and asked again, "BrotherYardley gave you that, right?"
Kimberly paused for a while and nodded.
"Yes," she replied.
"That's great. I think he likes you. If you get together with him, you will definitely be happier thanbeing with Maddox." Sylvia spoke straightforwardly in quite a loud voice.
Kimberly was already feeling guilty about this matter. When she heard Sylvia's loud voice, her faceinstantly blanched. She quickly reached out to cover Sylvia's mouth.
She hushed her, "Someone will hear it. Don't talk nonsense."
Sylvia smiled and removed her hands. "What are you afraid of? I am just telling the truth. If anyonereally has heard me, you have nothing to be afraid of. After all, the child in your belly..."
"Stop it!" Kimberly's expression changed
dramatically as she snapped at Sylvia.
Sylvia's face froze and she stared blankly at Kimberly. She then looked down and murmured, "I'msorry, Kimberly. I didn't know that you cared so much about this. I won't talk about it anymore."
After Sylvia apologized, Kimberly suddenly felt that she had overreacted and explained, "I didn'tmean to blame you. It's just that there are too many people in the company. I am afraid thatsomeone might overhear us. By then... there will be unnecessary trouble."
"I know," replied Sylvia.
Sylvia then folded her arms and huffed, "But I'm saying it because I care about you. Look, Maddoxdoesn't care about you now. He doesn't even look at you and even makes you sleep on the floor. Ireally don't know how you can endure all this to this day."
"We have an agreement." Kimberly sighed helplessly and the look in her eyes became confused.
She added, "Anyway, it has already been two months. There are only a few months left."
"A few months..." Sylvia echoed. She suddenly raised her head and reminded Kimberly, "What areyou thinking? Are you really going to wait until the agreed date to leave Maddox?"
"Can't... I?" asked Kimberly puzzledly. In fact, she didn't know what was wrong with herself forstaying by Maddox's side. But if she left now... She was still a bit reluctant.
She didn't even know why she felt reluctant to part with him.
"What do you mean?" Sylvia became anxious when she heard that. "In another four months, youwon't be able to hide your pregnancy anymore. If you leave Maddox then, everyone will know thatthe child in your belly... belongs to Maddox!"
Kimberly was speechless. "Really?"
Sylvia added hurriedly, "In my opinion, you should leave Maddox as soon as possible and betogether with Benedict. I know that you don't want to say it, I can tell him for you!"
Just as the elevator arrived at their floor, Sylvia rushed out immediately. Kimberly was so shockedthat her heart almost stopped beating. She immediately stopped Sylvia, "Don't be rash. We need tothink this through."
Sylvia frowned and blurted, "What are you talking about? I can wait, and so can he. But can thechild in your belly wait? Why do you keep refusing my proposal? Are you reluctant to leaveMaddox? You like him, right?"
