Female Novel
Chapter 410
Minerva was dumbfounded as soon as she heard that. She initially thought that it was just ameeting between the two of them.
She did not expect Miss Lowell to invite Maddox.
Minerva was puzzled, Janice looked so shy every time she mentioned Maddox. She must be eagerto be alone with him; why did she have to invite her then?
"I'm sorry Shelly. I called Maddox. You won't mind right? I thought he might need you to design hisoutfit too, so..."
"I don't mind at all." Minerva smiled. "He's already my client."
Janice widened her eyes in astonishment. "Really? I didn't expect that he would actually look foryou. I just forwarded your business contact..."novelbin
She was so shy as she spoke.
So what Auntie Stark said was true? Maddox was only cold on the outside. It seemed that he wasnot interested in her at all. However, he saved the business contact she forwarded to him and evenwent to Minerva for her design.
Was he taking her seriously?
Goodness, what a romantic man he was!
Janice couldn't resist covering her mouth.
Minerva, who was sitting beside her, did not know how to react when she saw how Janice wasacting.
Why did she feel as if she was going to be the third wheel?
She felt uneasy at the thought of becoming Maddox and Janice's third wheel. However, Minervaquickly suppressed her emotions and sat there expressionless.
She should appear calm.
She should turn a blind eye to Maddox's affairs.
If she still cared about him even after the incident five years ago, it would be such a humiliation toher.
As she thought of this, she looked indifferent.
She looked cold with her fair skin, delicate facial features and makeup.
Janice caught a glimpse of Minerva. All of the sudden, she realized that Minerva was exceptionallygorgeous.
Her eyes were like the deep ocean, having the power to attract.
Janice raised her cautions and asked out of a sudden, "Minerva, do you have a boyfriend?"
She was struck by Minerva's beauty and became wary of her.
Minerva glanced at Janice from her side vision and saw the caution in her eyes; she could figure thecause of it. She then smiled and said, "I have a child.¹'
Janice gaped before she could cover her mouth. "Oh my gosh, you are married? You have a childat such a young age? What a surprise! I'm a little envious of you, I'm at the suitable age of gettingmarried too."
Minerva could only respond to her excitement with a smile.
About ten minutes later, a man appeared in the restaurant.
All eyes were on Maddox as he entered the restaurant.
Certainly, he would attract attention wherever he went.
Besides, Maddox had a noble vibe.
The moment he entered the restaurant, his eyes swept over the crowd. He then found the one whoattracted his attention.
He really came.
Maddox walked to them.
"Maddox, you're here."
Minerva was dozing off and abruptly woke up after she heard Janice.
Did he come?
Minerva took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
She didn't plan to stay long as she came for work that day. As Maddox took his seat on the oppositeside of the table, he had his eyes on Minerva the whole time. Minerva quickly lowered her head andunzipped her bag to take out the documents inside.
"I'm very happy to be able to discuss the designs with both of you today. Feel free to tell me if youhave any suggestions."
She made it look as if she was here strictly for business.
Janice paused for a while and replied, "Oh, it's time for our meal. Why don't we order something toeat first and talk later?"
Minerva did not express any emotions, she just smiled and nodded, "Alright."
She kept the materials and they ordered food.
Minerva had no appetite, so she only ordered a glass of fruit juice.
Janice ordered a glass of fruit juice as well because she didn't want to embarrass herself in front ofher dream man.
In the end, Maddox was the only one who ordered food.
His gestures and movements were of sheer elegance while he was eating.
Janice was unable to take her eyes off him as such a handsome man was eating so elegantlybefore her.
The man she had chosen was too attractive.
Minerva took out the files after they had finished their meal.
"Both of you..."
"Miss Shelly, you are really into your work," Maddox said nonchalantly.
Minerva paused and her eyelids drooped.
Janice grinned and said along, "Yes,Shelly is really diligent in her work. Maddox, have you seen herdesigns before? They're really amazing."
Minerva smiled politely. "Thank you for the compliment."
Janice was the only one enjoying herself throughout the meal. Meanwhile, Minerva was relievedthat she was able to understand what Janice wanted for her design over the meal. She hoped thatthis situation would not reoccur.
She didn't want to sit at the same table with Maddox anymore.
"Since I have completed my task, I'll make a move first."
After finishing her sentence, Minerva smiled, stood up and prepared to leave.
The man spoke up as she was about to leave.
"It's rude for you to leave in such a manner. I am your client as well. Shouldn't you be at yourservice to me as well?"
Janice was taken aback. She stared at Maddox. "Maddox, what's the matter?"
Maddox did not look at Janice as his eyes were locked on Minerva's slender figure.
After a while, Minerva turned to her side and looked at him from the corner of her eye.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yardley. Today's agenda was about Miss Lowell's design. You didn't make anappointment today."
"Oh?" Maddox raised his eyebrows calmly. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "Let's makean appointment now."
Minerva presented herself in a courteous manner; there were no emotions in her tone of speech.
"I'm sorry. The reservation is full today. I have to go to my next client now. Mr. Yardley, you maychoose another time."
Janice was stunned. She did not expect Minerva to turn him down.
She could sense the heated conversation between the both of them, yet she knew Minerva was apolite person. Perhaps she was wrong about it?
After Minerva left the restaurant, she went to the parking lot to get her car.
She was not lying as she really had something to attend to. It was not about work; she planned tolook around for a good school for Beanie.
Just as she walked to the front of her car, a figure was rushing towards her direction.
