Chapter 414
The Yardley Corporation.
When Minerva came to the front desk and said that she was from the design company, thereceptionist gave her a look, saying, "Why did you come instead? Someone came just now, yetYoung Master Yardley paid no attention to her. Why don't you just go back?"
Earlier on, the receptionist heard about someone from a design company coming over and hadinformed Maddox.
Young Master Yardley went downstairs and gave the woman the cold shoulder. Although thereceptionist couldn't hear their conversation, she noticed Young Master Yardley's impatient look.
Therefore, when the receptionist heard Minerva saying that she was from the design company, thereceptionist gave her a disdainful look.
Minerva smiled faintly and said, "President Yardley asked me to come over. Where is he now?"
The receptionist replied, "Really? Why should I trust you?"
Minerva held her resolute gaze and answered, "Why don't you make a phone call?"
"Why do I have to ask him? Get out of here."
The receptionist unceremoniously urged her to leave.
Han Minerva was left with no choice but to contact
Maddox.
She had saved the contact of all her clients, including Maddox, in the event of an emergency.
Never did she expect that it would come in handy at this moment.
After a brief moment, Maddox answered her call.
She said without hesitation, "Mr. Yardley, I'm the designer of the Zovirax Corporation, Shelly. I'mdownstairs now, but they are not allowing me to enter. Mr. Yardley, please come and bring me toyour office.''
When the receptionist heard her cold tone, she thought she had misheard Minerva. "Is she... thatdomineering?"
Who dared to talk to Young Master Yardley in such a manner? Was she out of her mind?
After Minerva hung up the phone, the receptionist sneered. "Are you nuts? You asked Young MasterYardley to come down and bring you to his office? Are you daydreaming?"
Minerva remained silent and cast her an indifferent glance.
Was she out of her mind?
She was crazy enough to sign a contract with Maddox.
Otherwise, why would she be there right at that present moment?
Minerva raised her hand to look at the time on her wristwatch. She planned to wait for five minutes.If he didn't show up, she would leave the company.
It would not be considered a breach of the contract till then.
After all, she accommodated his request by looking for him, yet he refused to meet her.
Minerva remained motionless as she waited calmly for him.
She thought she was going to be stood up. Out of her expectations, Maddox appeared before her inless than two minutes.
"My goodness!" The receptionist couldn't resist exclaiming and reaching out to cover her mouth.
The receptionist wore a dull expression on her face. She was going to go nuts.
This woman did not speak politely when she called Young Master Yardley not long ago. But why didhe come in person?
"Follow me."
Maddox took a few steps forward, grabbed her wrist and brought her in.
He did it in front of everyone in the hall. The receptionist widened her eyes in shock.
Minerva didn't see it coming. She was in a daze when he came over and grabbed her wrist. Shefinally came to her senses when he pulled her to the front of the lift. She said coldly, "Let go of me!"
After she spoke, she was pulled into the elevator by Maddox.
Ding-
The elevator door closed and the two of them were in a confined space.
Minerva broke free of his grip and retracted her hand. She leaned against the wall of the elevator asshe stared at him unsympathetically.
When she withdrew her hand, Maddox felt the emptiness in his heart.
Minerva tidied up her sleeves, avoiding Maddox's gaze.
Although she lowered her head, she could feel his malevolent gaze.
This annoying b*stard!
Ding-
After a long silence, the door of the elevator opened at last. Minerva raised her head and lookedoutside. She then followed Maddox out.
The moment she stepped out of the elevator, she reminisced about the past.
This place... was the one she had visited countless times back then. Although she had only workedthere for a couple of months, it was a long period of time to her.
The days then had left indelible memories in her heart.
She thought she had forgotten about the past. On the contrary, when she set foot in that place, sherecalled everything about it. In fact, she had never forgotten it nor the man before her.
As soon as she thought about this, Minerva stopped walking, staring into space.
"Why? Are you reminiscing about your past?" A hoarse voice sounded at once. Minerva quicklycame to her senses.
When she was lost in thought, Maddox inched closer to her and she could feel his warm breath onher face.
Minerva's expression changed and she backed off.
Perhaps she twisted her ankle when she was in a hurry to retreat. Minerva felt that she was aboutto fall backwards and she subconsciously grabbed Maddox's tie.
The two of them were startled at the same time. Minerva released her grip on his necktieimmediately and she started to fall backwards.
She would rather fall to the ground than rely on him!
However, she didn't manage to fall to the ground. Instead, he reached out and held her close bywrapping his hands around her waist. He instantly pulled her into an embrace.
Thump!
Minerva fell into Maddox's arms. In a flash, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to block him.Maddox said indifferently, "Do you really hate me that much? You'd rather fall down?"
Before she could speak, Maddox raised her chin to make her look at him. "Answer me."
Minerva glanced at him for a moment and said serenely, "Mr. Yardley, I believe there is somemisunderstanding. I let go of my grip because I don't want to get you into trouble. After all, you'remy client. If anything happens to you, I'll lose a lot of money."
Maddox was lost for words.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Yardley. You can let me go now."
As soon as he heard her, Maddox shot her a contemptuous look.
"What if I refuse to let go?"
Never did Minerva expect him to be such a shameless man. However, when she thought about himhumiliating her, she smiled helplessly and said softly, "Mr. Yardley, it's impossible for us to talk aboutwork in such a manner. You'd better let go of ~ >1 me.
Her disapproving behavior angered Maddox. He gradually pulled her closer and had her pressedtightly against him.
"Who says it's impossible to talk about work?"
It was an intimate distance and Maddox's lips were almost touching her face.
"We can talk in such a manner," said Maddox in a hoarse voice.novelbin
