Female Novel
Chapter 415
When Maddox spoke, his intense gaze met hers and then it drifted to her lips.
He couldn't help lowering his head.
Minerva felt even more humiliated. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. "Mr. Yardley, did I sayso?"
Maddox paused and his eyes were a little hazy. "Yes?"
Immediately, his pupils suddenly contracted and his expression changed slightly.
Minerva retracted her leg and took a few steps back.
"I won't go easy on you if it happens the next time." Minerva clapped her hands and crossed herarms. She kicked Maddox to the extent that he had bulging veins on his forehead. "Are you awareabout it now?"
Maddox's face darkened and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
D*mn it, this woman was really ruthless!
It was unbelievable!novelbin
Maddox suffered great pain and felt weak all over. He looked up at her, while she merely stoodthere, staring at him with a smile.
"You seem to be in pain. I'm afraid that we can't talk about work today. Why don't I come anotherday?"
After saying that, Minerva took a deep breath and looked around.
"What a pity. I thought that I could go to the Yardley Corporation's office in the North City today. I'llmake a move first.¹' After saying this, Minerva smiled at Maddox and turned to leave.
She stood in front of the lift, pressed the button and watched the lift ascend level by level. Minervawas glad that she was finally leaving that place.
She abruptly heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind her. Just as she was about to turnaround, she was lifted up by Maddox into the air and carried on his shoulder.
"Ah!" Even a calm woman like Minerva was stunned by this action, and she cried out in surprise.
She came back to her senses, recalling that she was wearing a skirt that day. Wouldn't her lowerbody be exposed if he was carrying her on his shoulder in such a manner? She panicked at thethought of it and said hurriedly, "Put me down. Maddox!"
Had she underestimated him? Originally, she thought that he would feel pain for a long time, yet shedid not expect... that he actually had the strength to lift her up and walk at a fast pace.
Bang!
Maddox kicked open the door of the office and walked in with Minerva on his shoulder.
Sam was working next door at that moment. When he heard the sound of the door, he went tocheck it out, but failed to catch sight of Maddox.
He then hurried forward and intended to check on Maddox. All of a sudden, a female voice soundedfrom the office.
"Hurry up and let me down. Maddox, what are you up to?"
"What the f*ck!"
Sam was taken aback.
What... did he just hear?
Was he currently seeing someone after remaining single for five years? Furthermore... he hadbrought a woman to his office?
Sam rubbed his eyes in disbelief and gaped at his office.
Could it be that he was seeing things? Nonetheless, he heard the sound coming from the officeagain. He came to the realization that Maddox had really brought a woman to his office.
Sam felt curious at once. Could this woman be Maddox's Facebook friend?
Sam was engrossed in his thoughts as he returned to his place.
Inside the office.
"Put me down... Ah..."
Maddox put Minerva down and pushed her against the couch. Before she could react, Maddoxpounced on her, causing her to be unable to move her hands and feet.
"What the hell are you trying to do?"
Minerva lost her patience and shot him a dirty look right away.
Maddox stared deeply into her eyes.
"You are so cruel to kick me in the nuts!"
He reprimanded, his eyes sparkling with anger.
Minerva was stupefied for a brief moment. She sneered, "If you don't let me go, I will give youanother kick. Be prepared to suffer."
Once Minerva finished speaking, Maddox's eyes darkened.
"Do you hate me that much?"
"Mr. Yardley!" Minerva interrupted him harshly. "I want to make it clear! You're just my client now.Even if something happened to us five years ago, it's already the past. To me, it's just a memory.Therefore, Mr. Yardley, please don't behave in such a manner in the future. If you intend to harassme, I am forced to kick you in self-defense!"
"Self- defense?" Maddox squinted his eyes as he lowered his head.
Minerva held her breath. "If you come closer again, I will void the contract."
Maddox paused as soon as he heard her words, remaining motionless.
They could hear the sounds of their own heartbeats sounding heavily in their ears. However, theywere all tensed up even though their surroundings were quiet.
After a long while, Minerva spoke helplessly.
"Our company is a new company. If the Yardley Corporation from the North City wants to dosomething to our company, we can't stop you. I am just a designer. If you have a prejudice againstme, you may choose other designers instead. Please... Mr. Yardley, please have mercy on me."
She was forbearing with him when she said that.
Maddox's heart sank when she saw the expression on her face.
Were his actions considered a humiliation to her? Was that the reason she looked at him in thisway?
Maddox felt inwardly guilty for no reason.
He merely wanted to get close to her, yet he had hurt her.
"Mr. Yardley, can you get up?"
He remained silent. Minerva cautiously reached out her hand and pushed Maddox away.
After she pushed Maddox, he reached out and hugged her tightly instead. Then, he leaned over toher and buried his face in her neck.
"Err..." Every muscle in her body stiffened when she felt his warm breath fanning on her neck.
What... What was he doing?"
"Don't move," Maddox whispered softly, brushing his lips against her neck.
"Let me hold you for a while and I won't be hard on you."
Minerva was dumbstruck with terror.
"He's really taking advantage of me!"
Minerva lifted up her leg again!
