Chapter 478

It was still that same restaurant, because it was close to Minerva's company. Besides, Maddox wasnot in the mood to deliberately pick a place to go.

Thus, he met Janice in the restaurant where they had previously met.

Maddox attracted attention wherever he went. He had been there two or three times, so everyonethere remembered him. When he came again this time, the staff hid behind the counter and talkedabout him.

Seeing this scene, Janice felt extremely uncomfortable.

Of course, she knew how dazzling Maddox was. When other people looked at her, she felt very sad.The thought of Minerva having snatched this man, and the thought that she was the one whobrought them together made her feel extremely regretful.

He was such an outstanding man. Why didn't she have her guards up back then? Any womanwould fall in love with him the moment they laid their eyes on him!

Thinking of this, Janice looked nervously at Maddox who was sitting opposite her. Although he wasthe one who took the initiative to ask her out, she couldn't feel happy at all because she didn't knowwhat Maddox was going to say to her.

Janice bit her lower lip and looked at the person in front of her with a conflicted expression.

"Maddox, you..."

With just a single word, she successfully made him open up. He looked at her fiercely and said,"Miss Lowell, I don't think we are so familiar with each other that we can call each other by our firstnames."

He was the same when they first met. Cold, ruthless, and without any warmth or emotion.

Janice's heart quivered. She bit her lower lip and said, "Aren't we on a blind date now? What's theproblem if I don't call you by your surname?"

Maddox's eyes were full of sarcasm. He casually tapped the table with his fingertips and said,"That's right. We're going on a blind date, but Miss Lowell, can't you hear how I am addressing you?I've told you since the first time we met, right? You're obviously not my cup of tea."

Janice's face turned paler. He was so frank to her which made her feel extremely ashamed as a girl.

However, the more he treated her like this, the more she found herself unable to let go of him.

She knew that she was being cheap but she just liked this man very much.

Janice bit her lower lip and her fingers beneath the table had been pierced through by her ownnails. The heart-wrenching pain made her mind clear a little and the hatred and jealousy in her heartspread like wildfire. She looked at Maddox.

"It's because of her, right?"

Maddox creased his brows.

"Why?" Janice demanded angrily, "I am the one who is going on a blind date with you. Why are youseeing her instead? What's so good about her?"

Maddox pursed his thin lips and looked at her coldly.

It was as if he was looking at a stranger.

Why? Janice had dated him so many times but he still looked at her as if he didn't know her at all.However, he was carrying Minerva at the press conference.

"Why on earth? Which part of me can't be compared to her? Which part of me is not good enough?Could you tell me? I can improve myself to be the way you want me to be."

Maddox could not help but sneer.

"Miss Lowell, I'm afraid there's some misunderstanding. You don't have what she has. Don't wasteyour time."

"What is it?" Janice bit her lower lip and asked, "What does she have that I don't?"

"I asked you out today because I wanted to make it clear to you. Don't harass her again in thefuture!"

After listening to his words, Janice finally reacted. She looked at the cold-hearted man in front of herin shock. A moment later, she sneered and said, "I see now. She even dared to complain. What anarrow-minded woman. Do you like this type of woman? Don't you know that she already has..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Maddox suddenly stood up and interrupted her in a cold toneof voice. "I do like such a narrow-minded woman.novelbin

What can you do about it then? Miss Lowell, girls should pay more attention to their own manners."

He looked around. His thin lips were very charming, but the words he spoke did not carry anyemotion.

"If I find out that you've harassed her again, don't blame me for attacking your Lowell family."

After giving her a warning, Maddox stared at her and turned to leave the restaurant.

Janice remained in her seat while feeling the iciness all over her body.

She did not expect Maddox to have such deep feelings for Minerva. How long had it been? She hadalways thought that she would still stand a chance, but... Why did he?

As she thought of that, Janice couldn't help herself and she grabbed her bag and chased after him!

"Maddox!"

Janice chased after him and she met him in the parking lot. Then she looked at his back in angerand shouted, "You said she has something that I don't. What is it?"

"You don't deserve to know." Maddox did not intend to tell her at all. He just uttered a statement andgot into the car.

His car drove away, leaving Janice alone where she stood.

She clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth.

"Minerva, I won't let you get away!!! Taking away my man and leaving like this? Huh, what wishfulthinking! I, Janice, am not someone to be trifled with

so easily!"

"Ah-choo!"

Minerva, who was in the middle of her speech, suddenly sneezed twice.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Vera looked at her nervously and asked, "Are you okay? Didyou catch a cold?"

Minerva rubbed her nose and shook her head with a smile. "I'm fine. Let's continue with the plan fornext week."

However, she was a little disturbed. Why did she sneeze twice for no reason? Was it because shekicked the quilt away the night before?

After the meeting, when Minerva was packing up her documents, Vera came up to her and said,"One sneeze means someone is missing you while two sneezes mean that someone is scoldingyou."

Minerva's hand stopped moving as she glanced at Vera. "Since when did you believe in this kind ofthing?"

After saying that, she picked up the documents and went out. Vera hurriedly picked up her ownthings and followed up.

"It's fun. Can't you just talk about it? I think my sixth sense is very accurate. Maybe Janice wasscolding you behind your back."

Minerva didn't respond.

"Even if it was not Janice, you still have another enemy, don't you? The one called Yvonne."

Minerva's foot paused for a second, but she did not stop walking. Her eyes were filled withhelplessness.

She didn't expect that she would offend two people soon after she returned to the country.

One was a female celebrity star, Yvonne, and the other was Janice.

Although she was not afraid of what others would do to her, but... these were all troubles.

She did not know how Maddox solved the problem. She wondered if he could successfully settle theproblem in harmony and not cause her any more trouble.

However, it turned out that Maddox did not handle the matter well even though he promised that hewould settle it without getting her involved.

In the afternoon, Janice came over to make trouble again.

However, she did not come alone. Instead, she brought a few friends along with her.

"Miss Hanover, they all love the design you made for Helen. They heard that I know you, so Ibrought them all here. You won't mind, right?"
