Female Novel
Chapter 322
That was a good idea.
Kimberly had not thought of it in the past two days. She had only planned to go to Ocean Villa andwait until Maddox was willing to see her.
This idea from Vera had never occurred to her. Kimberly nodded happily and replied, "Let's go."
Hearing what she said, the guards were also relieved, "Young Master Yardley should be in thecompany today. Please go ahead."
"Thank you."
Before leaving, Kimberly thanked them and then left with Vera.
Looking at her leaving, the guards started to murmur among themselves.
"I would say that Young Madam is good. She is polite and courteous with us," one said.
"Yeah, and Young Master Yardley brought a woman home for the first time. I thought..." Anothersaid.
"Hey, we'd better stop talking about it. We should just do our job. Don't worry about the YoungMaster," someone concluded.
When Kimberly and Vera arrived at the Yardley Corporation, as expected, Maddox did not forbid herto enter the company. Kimberly and Vera went straight to the elevator after they entered thecompany. Kimberly's heart was still thumping. "I thought... he would not even let me enter thecompany," Kimberly put her hand on her chest and said as if she had just survived a disaster.
Hearing this, Vera laughed gleefully, "This is a good start. I will be with you in meeting him later. Youguys should talk things out. Don't be afraid to talk to him."
"I understand." Kimberly took a deep breath to muster her courage before saying, "I will seize thisopportunity."
"You can do it!" Vera encouraged her.
The elevator went up. Under Vera's encouragement, Kimberly mustered a lot of courage. When shereached the top floor, she took a deep breath and went out. Vera thought for a moment and said, "I'llwait for you in the finance department downstairs. Come to me after you settle this matter."
Kimberly nodded, "Okay. I'll meet you there later."
After parting with Vera, the elevator door closed. Kimberly tried to calm herself down and wentstraight to the office.
This was the place where she used to work, so she was very familiar with it. Maddox's office wasright behind that door.
As soon as she met him, they could finally talk things out.
Kimberly walked to the front of the office with a smile and then reached out to knock on the door.
There was no response from the inside. After hesitating for a while, Kimberly knocked on the dooragain, but there was still no response. Just when Kimberly felt strange and wanted to push the doorin, the elevator opened with a tinkle. Vera ran out and said breathlessly, "I just found out that YoungMaster Yardley is in a meeting with Sam when I went downstairs. They are now in the conferenceroom."
"The conference room?" Kimberly asked.
"Well, there's still an hour before the meeting ends. What do you plan to do now?" Vera asked her.
"I'll wait here." Kimberly decided to wait in the office; she was scared that she might miss him.
"Alright. I'll send you a message if there's any news." Vera then returned to work.
Kimberly knew there was a lounge in the office. She just needed to stay there for a while. WhenMaddox came back, she would talk to him clearly.
Kimberly pushed open the office door and walked straight in, then headed straight for the lounge.
The lounge was very wide. Kimberly then laid down on the big sofa.
She thought that she would have to wait for an hour anyway...
"Maybe I should sleep for a while," she thought. By the time Maddox returned, she would havewoken up.
Soon, Kimberly fell asleep.
She just wanted to take a nap, but she overslept. When Maddox came back from the meeting, Samfollowed behind him. Maddox said coldly, "Benedict hasn't come back to the company yet? Huh, hemust be having the time of his life." Sam immediately understood what his boss was talking about.Sam stayed silent for a moment before he explained, "Young Master Yardley, Miss Shell might notbe with him. Maybe... she has something to do."
"Since when did you learn to find an excuse for her?" Maddox sneered coldly. He did not takeSam's words seriously.
Sam followed him and said, "It's not that I want to find an excuse for Miss Shell, but she did waitoutside the door for the whole night, and..."
"She's been waiting for the whole night?" Maddox sneered. "Did I ask her to wait? How come Ididn't see her when I came out in the morning? I did wait for her the whole night, you know,"Maddox said.
Sam was speechless and he thought to himself, "It's because you left her outside until she passedout."
Back then, Sam came out soon after Kimberly left with Benedict, and the guards told him, "YoungMaster Yardley was still angry and won't see her anyway. It's good that she had left." However, whoknew when Sam got back, Maddox suddenly asked him where she was. Sam didn't know how toanswer him.
Maddox was silent for a moment, then coldly mocked, "She took the contract and left? So she reallycan't wait to divorce me?"
"It's not what you think. Young Madam, she..." Sam tried to explain.
However, before he could say anything else, Maddox threw him out of the room.
"Didn't I declare she's no longer the Second Young Madam of the Yardley family?"
Sam replied, "I get it. I won't call her that anymore."
"If Maddox wanted to be arrogant, let him be. Anyway, it isn't me who's sad and angry in the end,"Sam thought.
There were many things he wanted to say but he couldn't. Sam was tired of being the middleman.Maddox never gave him the chance when he tried to clear up the situation.novelbin
"I'll sort out the documents for today's meeting and send them here later." After saying that, Samturned around and walked out of the office. He sighed helplessly after closing the door.
Maddox was left alone in the office.
He pursed his thin lips and sat in the office with a cold face. The documents on the table wereneatly arranged by Sam.
When Kimberly was still his assistant, she was responsible for all these things.
But now...
Maddox's eyes darkened when he thought of that woman.
After a moment, his lips curled up in self-mockery.
"How can I still think about that woman who has been cheating on me?" He thought to himself.
Forgot about her!
"She will have nothing to do with me from now on. She is just a woman who married into theYardley family on behalf of her younger sister anyway. Moreover, she is pregnant with an illegitimatechild, so she is not worth my time," he thought.
"I can get any woman you want. Stop wasting time thinking about her!" His thoughts rambled on.
It was ridiculous!
However, the more Maddox thought about it, the more annoyed he felt. When he wanted to work,that woman's face kept appearing in his mind. The more he tried to get her out of his mind, theclearer her face became.
Maddox usually had everything in his control, including his thoughts. However, with Kimberly,everything collapsed.
This made him... very upset.
She was just a woman. Why did he, Maddox, care about her so much?
