Female Novel
Chapter 209
"Did Maddox ask you to do this?" Kimberly could feel the tingling pain on her arm as she massagedher bruises.
She was already forced into the elevator. There was no chance to escape.
Sam advised her, "If you continue to struggle when the elevator door opens, the employees wouldlaugh. By then, I can't control their mouths."
Was Sam threatening her? Kimberly glared at him, but he quickly looked away before their eyesmet. He pretended as if nothing had happened.
The elevator descended. Soon, they arrived downstairs. When the elevator door opened, Samstood behind her and ushered, "Miss Shell, let's go."
Kimberly had no choice. She didn't want to be laughed at, so she stepped out of the elevator andSam followed her out.
"They should be somewhere near. Let's go look for them."
When he said this, Kimberly paused for a moment and asked, "Are you sure that we can findthem?"
"Of course," Sam replied confidently. He seemed to have a well-thought-out plan. In fact, Maddoxhad informed him where they would be.
If Maddox didn't tell Sam about their whereabouts, he might not have been able to find them.
After all, there were so many restaurants around. Who knew where they would be?
"But... just now, Sylvia invited me to join them and I rejected. If I suddenly appear out of nowhere,I..." Kimberly hesitated as she thought of this.
Sam snapped her out of her thoughts. He said, "What's wrong with that? You can just say that yousuddenly felt hungry. If you keep having this reluctant attitude, you might end up losing YoungMaster Yardley one day."
She had never thought about this. Kimberly was a little depressed. If Sam had not insisted onbringing her down here, she wouldn't be here.
But now... she was actually feeling a little pleased.
Forget it. She told herself it was better to just go and find them.
Sam spoke again, "It's okay to be embarrassed. What if Young Master Yardley fell for your bestfriend? Wouldn't that be even more humiliating?"
His words made sense, and she couldn't refute him.
But then she realized something was wrong. Kimberly jolted and corrected him, "What are youtalking about? We're just going to have lunch with them. You look like you're about to catchsomeone cheating."
Sam touched his head and smiled awkwardly.
Well, as long as Kimberly was willing to come with him, everything would be fine.
Kimberly had been walking behind Sam all the while. She didn't know how long they had beenwalking. She felt that Sam was walking in circles. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of a restaurant."Miss Shell, there he is."
Kimberly followed his gaze and looked into the restaurant. Through the glass window, Kimberly sawMaddox and Sylvia sitting next to each other, instead of face to face like what she had imagined.
Sylvia was talking to Maddox, holding the menu in her hands. She was leaning towards him, andher collar seemed to fall open unintentionally. It was like she was showing her chest to Maddox, butit all looked too accidental.
Sam exclaimed, "Wow, look at her! She is leaning so close to Young Master Yardley. She is eventrying to show as much skin as possible. See for yourself. Do you still believe her?"
Kimberly stared at the two people through the glass window and remained silent.
Sam then suggested, "Shall we go in?"
"Stop." Seeing Sam entering the restaurant, she quickly grabbed his clothes and stopped him in histracks.
She stared at the two people inside. Something was bothering her.
Just then, Maddox seemed to notice something. He glanced in their direction out of the corner of hiseye. Kimberly felt his gaze and immediately pulled Sam down into a squatting position with her.They hid away, successfully avoiding Maddox's sharp gaze.
"Young Master Yardley, do you think we should have this?" Sylvia took the menu and continuedleaning towards Maddox, slowly getting closer to him. She had sprayed on a floral perfume, and herlips were lightly tinted. Over all, she had put on a nude makeup, looking innocent and flawless.
Sylvia was very confident. If Maddox didn't like Kimberly, she should be able to his favor if she triedhard enough.
After all, Sylvia did not believe that Maddox couldn't be tempted by her.
While she was speaking, Sylvia noticed that Maddox was staring outside the window. She pausedfor a moment and looked at him, "What's wrong? Is there something outside?"
She stood up and gazed outside the restaurant.
"It's nothing." Maddox averted his gaze, his black pupils turning emotionless. His lips were set in ahard line.
Sylvia was not discouraged. She raised her lips and smiled gently, "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything. You decide," Maddox replied plainly as he looked straight into her eyes. His gaze was assharp a knife. At first, Sylvia was shocked. But slowly, she wrapped her head around it.
A man as emotionless as Maddox would be immovable. However, once the ice in his heart melted,his passion would burn for her.
She couldn't lose Maddox.
She must get him!
Sylvia smiled charmingly and tried to make her voice lighter, saying, "Alright then, I'll order." So, shecalled the waiter and placed her orders.
Maddox's brows were knitted. After the waiter had left, he looked at Sylvia thoughtfully.novelbin
"How do you know what I like to eat?"
Upon hearing his question, Sylvia lowered her eyes shyly and explained, "I just happen to know it.You won't mind, right?"
Maddox's brows rose. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes as he echoed, "Is that so?"
"Fine, I'll tell you." Sylvia blushed bashfully and explained, "When our company cooperated withYardley Corporation, Secretary Sharpio had all your details, including your favorite food. When Iscanned through the information, I saw that and kept it in mind."
Kimberly crouched outside, listening to everything they had said. She squatted quietly and watchedon.
Sam retched, "Your best friend is really disgusting. What does she have in mind? Look at her, doyou still want to tell me that she isn't that kind of person?"
After saying that, Sam realized that something was wrong.
He turned to check on Kimberly, only to see that she was very calm as she gazed ahead, but herface was devoid of emotion.
He asked worriedly, "Miss Shell, are you okay?"
"Sam... let's go back."
