Female Novel
Chapter 402
Minerva asked, "What's going on?"novelbin
Vera took her mobile phone and sat down beside her, and kept scrolling down on her profile."Minerva, look, there are so many people who added you as a friend! Who are they? Could it bethat our company has received so many clients within a day?"
"That's unlikely, isn't it?" Minerva blinked her eyes. "There were only a few people who added mebefore yesterday's incident."
"Is it a prank?" Vera asked doubtfully. She randomly picked an account and browsed it, only todiscover that the other party's friends list was blank.
"What's going on? We can check on their Facebook, but these accounts seem to have just beenstarted. Is it really a prank?"
Minerva couldn't understand this. She inched closer to take a look.
"I have spotted something. The account numbers are almost the same..."
Minerva was lost for words.
"That's enough. I can confirm that it's a prank."
Subsequently, Vera blacklisted all those accounts one by one. "Maybe they want to peep at ourwork. Let me put them on the blacklist one by one. Oh, there is a different account. I am not surewhether it is a client." "Let me see." Vera showed it to Minerva.
Minerva glanced at it and vaguely recalled the account number.
She thought that she had seen it somewhere...
When she saw the sentence at the end of the line, Minerva's pupils constricted. She then looked atthe introductory message below.
"Hey, it was added through the recommendation of Janice. It seems that he is a friendrecommended by her. You may approve him."
Just as Vera was about to press the approve button, Minerva exclaimed all of a sudden, "Don'tapprove him!"
Her voice became harsh and loud at once. Vera was so frightened to the point that she shiveredand accidentally pressed the button.
Minerva's expression changed abruptly. She gritted her teeth. "Hurry up and blacklist him!"
Upon hearing her words, Vera remained motionless, feeling puzzled.
"Minerva, what are you doing? This is a customer recommended by Miss Lowell. If you don'tapprove him..."
"Just blacklist him."
"What?" Vera was a little startled. "Why do you want to blacklist him?"
"Just do as I say. Don't ask further." Minerva spoke in an undertone and made a sour face. Veraonly nodded her head obediently without saying a word.
"Well, noted."
Then, Vera blacklisted him at once.
Minerva finally let out a sigh of relief.
"You'll take care of the work today. I'll go and collect the draft this afternoon."
"Alright." Vera returned the phone to her. "Okay. There's nothing else to say. If there's anything else,get Beanie to call me. I'll be back soon."
"Alright."
After Vera left, Beanie came over and asked doubtfully.
"Mommy, is there anyone disturbing you?"
"Hmm? Why would you ask that?"
"Because I heard from Auntie Vera just now that someone added your Facebook."
Minerva responded with a smile, "It's okay. It's just that they've mistakenly added me."
As she finished her sentence, she wore a solemn look, feeling unconvinced.
She knew the owner of that Facebook account...
Besides, he added it through the business contact that was forwarded by Janice. She had metsomeone the previous day. Needless to say, she knew who he was.
Minerva leaned back against the pillow, closed her eyes and pondered.
"Maddox, what on earth are you up to? Why are you adding me as a friend on Facebook?"
Yardley Corporation.
In the conference room.
All of the directors were in a heated argument.
"I don't agree with you. This will only allow other companies to take advantage of us. Moreover, it'snot beneficial to our company. There's no point in doing it."
An old man in his sixties glared at another old man.
"B*stard, I think you must be muddle-headed. What do you mean by allowing those smallcompanies to take advantage of us? We are the Yardley Corporation in North City. How dare othercompanies take advantage of us? Even if you pay them and allow them to do so, they are notdaring enough to do it, let alone under normal circumstances!"
"Stop arguing. Relax. This is just a discussion. We need to come up with more plans for this matter."
"We have to consider again from the beginning? Hmph, what’s there to talk about with people likehim? You should just get down to it and give it your all!"
Sam was tongue-tied.
He watched these people arguing with each other, while Maddox sat there, remaining indifferent.
Oh, it wasn't that he was indifferent. He seemed to be engrossed in his mobile phone.
Since he came to the office early in the morning, he had looked at his cell phone from time to time,and then put it down. After a while, he picked it up and looked at it again.
During this time, Sam peeked at his cell phone's screen, which turned out to be his Facebookapplication.
Sam was suspicious. When Young Master Yardley called Sam the night before, he asked Sam tocreate some Facebook accounts. The next day, he had been focusing on Facebook all the time.Maddox was absent-minded even throughout his important meetings.
He paid no attention to the heated discussion.
Sam then looked at Maddox's mobile phone as he thought about this. Unexpectedly, Maddox'smobile phone vibrated and he trembled simultaneously.
Maddox brightened in an instant.
He quickly clicked in the Facebook application.
Sam secretly glanced over it.
"Shelly has accepted your friend request. You could start chatting now."
Shelly?
Who was Shelly?
Sam looked doubtful. Why hadn't he heard of this name before?
Maddox had been staring at his phone the entire time. Was he waiting for this person? It soundedlike the name of a woman...
Sam stealthily crept over to see Maddox's chat. A cold gaze fell to him in a flash. Sam was afraid tothe extent that he straightened his back at once.
Forget it, forget it. He'd better not get into trouble by being so nosy.
Maddox wanted to send a message to her. However, when he clicked the chat box, he was cluelessas to how to start the conversation.
He suddenly added her as a friend after five years. Was she aware that it was him?
Or, had she no idea at all?
What was he going to say to her?
"How should I start a conversation?" Maddox's gaze swept over Sam as he spoke. Sam respondedwith an "ah" before he came closer. "Young Master Yardley?"
"The usual first sentence of a conversation."
"Hi, how do you do?"
Maddox pursed his lips and did not answer him. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with Sam'ssuggestion.
Sam hesitated for a moment and added, "What do you want to say instead? Or... do you want toaddress her by the name?"
Maddox was still not pleased with it. Sam coughed lightly. "Why don't you ask whether she'saround?"
Maddox's lashes fluttered. He seemed to be quite satisfied with this. He sent out the message toher in no time.
Sam's mouth couldn't resist twitching when he saw the message.
Young Master Yardley had never chatted with others and sent personal messages via Facebook.He usually used Facebook for work related matters. He would never beat around the bush. Howcould it be possible for him to send such messages?
However, after the message was being sent out, a notification that popped out on the screen hadSam surprised.
"The message had been sent out, but it was rejected by the other party."
