Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 439

After she returned to her office, Minerva sat down, her head still spinning.

It was most likely due to the side effects of the gastric problems the day before. She reached outher hand and massaged her temples with much force. She felt much more energized. But thistime... her gastric problems seemed to flare up more severely than before, and she was in greatpain even until now.

Was it because of that person?

Minerva remained seated for a while before Vera came in.

She walked over to Minerva with a pile of documents in her arms, pulling a chair, and sat downbeside her.

"I have calculated. According to our contract, no matter who breaches the contract, the person hasto pay thrice the penalty fee. If it's merely a piece of clothing, we may not need to compensate forthat much. But Mr. Yardley has ordered everything in our company's quotation, so... I'm afraid thatwe need to fork out more than expected."

After a dreadful silence, Minerva asked at once, "How much do we need to pay?"

Vera glanced at her, coughing softly. "I've calculated that after paying the penalty fees, we'llprobably have a few thousand left."

As soon as she finished speaking, Vera felt brokenhearted. She then held her cheek, "If we hadknown about it, we should have driven him out right away when he came to us. Now, we are goingbankrupt."

Was there only a few thousand left after the payment? Minerva's mouth curled into a smile. "Notbad. I thought it wasn't enough."

Hearing her words, Vera's eyes widened in terror. "Are you out of your mind? How could you feelalright after losing so much money? I thought..."

"Is there anything more joyous than getting rid of him?" Minerva gave a slight smile. She looked atVera, "Alright, go and prepare the documents. Contact the lawyer and consult them on how tohandle this matter."

"Okay, I'll contact the lawyer first."

As they had to pay the penalty fees, Minerva and Vera didn't check out any houses anymore.

In fact, Minerva could totally seek Quill's help if she was willing to do so.

But to her, Quill had done enough for her. She was willing to accept it before as Quill wanted tomake it up to her. If she turned him down, Quill would be more guilty about it. It was better for him tocompensate her than to feel uneasy all the time.

On the other hand, she was not the kind of person who accepted the help of others without guilt.She feared that she would become a good-for-nothing if it continued in this way.

Therefore, even if Minerva had the entire Hanover family as her support, she still worked hardthroughout the years.

She did not like to be labeled a Hanover in order to seek job opportunities. She relied on her owninstead. For instance, she would not seek Quill's help in relation to this matter. She solely wanted tomake money and buy a house on her own.

If she really couldn't do so, it was feasible for her to obtain a bank loan to pay off the down paymentfirst.

In the afternoon, Minerva had made amendments on the drawings which she had completed theday before. She then sent a message to Janice, telling her to come over and take a look at themwhen she had the time.

Janice quickly agreed and said that she would personally come to the company when she wasavailable.

Shortly after Minerva received her reply, Vera pushed the office door open and walked in.

"Minerva, I have good news for you."

"What?" Minerva looked up at her.

"Helen's dress had been tailored and sent to our company. I have placed it in the exhibition hall onthe sixth floor."

When she heard this, the frown on Minerva's face relaxed. Finally, there was something to bedelighted about.

She curled her lips, "I'll go up and have a look. Inform Helen." "No problem." Minerva went out ofthe office alone and headed to the sixth floor to see the design. Halfway through, she suddenlythought of something and went to the staff office instead.

When Minerva appeared at the staff office, everyone fell silent for a moment. After a while, theycame to their senses, and someone said in a hushed voice.

"Miss Minerva is here."

The group of people initially looked down on her, but they had changed their mind as soon as theylearned from Kelly that she won the championship of the Lotus Award.

Kelly's expression changed when she saw Minerva, and she stood up immediately.

"What, what are you doing here?"

These people would usually make fun of her when she appeared. Why were all of them suddenly soobedient?

"I have come to look for you," Minerva's eyes fell on Kelly. She looked at Kelly for a brief momentand withdrew her gaze.

Kelly paused for a while and widened her eyes in disbelief. "Look for me?"

If it was in the past, she would definitely mock Minerva. But now... After knowing her true identity,Kelly couldn't even spit out her sarcastic remarks.

"Yes," Minerva nodded. She gazed warmly at her, saying in an undertone, "Come out with me for awhile."

The rest of the people looked at Kelly in confusion. Kelly was flustered on the inside, but shecalmed herself down and went out the door.

Minerva followed suit, turning around to leave the place. She walked into the elevator, with Kellybehind her.

"Why are you looking for me?" After Kelly entered the elevator, she couldn't resist asking.

Minerva stood there with an indifferent look. "Don't you want to see the outfit that you designed?"

Kelly was stunned for a second, "Is the outfit completed?"novelbin

"Yes."

Kelly was excited when she heard Minerva. This was her first designed outfit ever since she cameto the company, and... it was designed for a famous movie star. Helen would wear the dress to thepress conference.

As she thought of this, Kelly's cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Of course I want to see it!"

"It's in the exhibition hall on the sixth floor. Let's go."

Ding.

At this moment, the elevator door opened and the two of them went out together.

Minerva had Vera instruct the staff to tidy up the sixth floor. The reason being was that an exhibitionhall placed an important part in a design company. The outfits which had been designed in the pastor present would be exhibited in this place for clients to admire at anytime.

There was only one outfit in the empty and spacious exhibition hall. It was the one designed byKelly.

When Kelly looked at the one and only design there, she gaped at it and reached out to cover hermouth, nearly crying tears of joy.

Oh, my!

She felt exhilarated!

It was the first time in her life. When she was a solo designer in the past, even though she had wonsome awards... She had never felt this way.

Her work was being exhibited.

"Are you excited?" Minerva turned over and smiled. "There are many opportunities in the future.Calm down."

Kelly turned away with embarrassment and said awkwardly, "It's my first time, of course, I'm thrilled.But you... you've won so many huge awards. You don't feel a thing about it, right?"
