Female Novel
Chapter 558
On the same day, Maddox drove straight to Minerva's neighborhood after getting off work.
He couldn't find the neighborhood at first, thus Sam accompanied him and led the way. Maddox'stall and strong body figure attracted the attention of a few single women. As soon as they enteredthe elevator, two girls followed as well.
However, Sam and Maddox kept talking to each other as if they didn't notice the two girls at all.
"Sir, if you start living here, do you want to hire a new housekeeper or..."
Maddox pursed his lips and interrupted coldly, "Don't you know my habits?"
"Well, what I mean is... If you don't hire one, won't you be able to have your meals at YoungMadam's?"
Maddox was speechless.
He raised his eyes and looked up at Sam all of a sudden.
"Excuse me, are you staying here?" Suddenly, the two girls who initially didn't impose any sense ofpresence came over to ask Maddox.
Maddox didn't answer.
It was silent for a few seconds in the elevator and no one answered.
The two girls looked a little embarrassed as Maddox remained expressionless.
The girl looked at his handsome face and was not willing to give up. She clenched her fists tightlyand continued, "I'm also staying here. Which floor do you stay on? If you have time, would you liketo join me for..."
"Get lost."
The girl paused for a moment and only did she know that Maddox had already turned his headaround. His eagle-like eyes were looking at her indifferently, and there was not a hint of warmthpresent in them at all.
Realizing that he was directing the harsh words at her, the girl's face instantly paled. At the sametime, the elevator's doors opened, and the girl and her friend turned around and rushed out.
Ding—
The elevator's doors closed again and continued to move upwards slowly. Sam clenched hisfingers, forming a fist and placed it against his lips. He coughed softly and spoke slowly, "Sir, youwill offend the neighbors if you do this."
Maddox did not reply as he showed a face of extreme displeasure.
Sam sighed. After so many years, only Minerva the apple of Maddox's eyes.
If other girls wanted to talk to him, he wouldn't even spare them a glance.
Therefore, Sam had even thought that if Minerva was to never forgive Maddox, he would remain...single for the rest of his life.
"So what if I offended them? You didn't even manage to accomplish the task that I gave you andnow you want me to put up with them?" Maddox laughed coldly and swept his sharp gaze at him.
Sam suddenly felt shivers along his spine. This was exactly why Maddox had given the instructionto drive residents out in the first place.
There were always people who would disturb him and Maddox hated it.
However, this place didn't belong to them. Even if it did, it was impossible to drive the residents hereaway.
Ding-
The elevator's door opened again, and Sam hurried out.
"We are here."
Maddox glanced at the elevator's floor indicator.
It was the 18th floor.novelbin
He stepped out with his straight legs and noticed that Sam was standing at a door. "Young Madamlives here and your place will be just the opposite."
Maddox pursed his lips. With one hand in his pocket, he looked at Minerva's entrance from thecorner of his eyes. His thin lips slowly curled into a smile.
It seemed like they would have to interact with each other day and night.
"Minerva, let's see how you'll run away in the future."
Sam noticed the expression on Maddox's face and felt a sudden chill. He quickly took out the sparekeys and opened the door. "I'll take you to your residence first."
"There's no need." Maddox replied indifferently, "You may return now."
Sam was dumbfounded. "Okay, I'll be leaving then."
"Continue with the investigation. Look into the person behind this. I would like to know who dares togo against me."
"I shall do so. Then, I'll leave first. As for dinner..."
The two of them looked at the entrance on the opposite side in a tacit manner. Sam then turnedaround and entered the lift.
Sam worried way too much. Maddox had always been shameless in front of Minerva, thus heshouldn't worry about him at all.
After Sam left, Maddox observed his surroundings. Then, he took out his keys and unlocked thedoor.
Although the place was unoccupied for a long time, Sam, who was very efficient, had already askedsomeone to clean up the place.
However, with a quick glance, Maddox knew that the interior designing of this place was not to hisliking. He would have to find someone to renovate it if he planned to live here long term.
After Vera brought Beanie back, Minerva had nothing to do as she was alone. Therefore, sheremained in her residence and watched TV. She was bored after a moment, thus she went tocontinue on her design drawings.
Vera came back after a while and kept murmuring beside her.
"Quill is really annoying. After he rejected me last time, he acted as if nothing had happened whenhe saw me today. Why do you think he hates me so much? He has obviously hurt an innocent girl'sheart, yet doesn't he feel guilty at all?"
Minerva was in daze. "An innocent girl's heart?"
Vera snorted, "Am I wrong? I have never been in love before! Of course, I have an innocent girl'sheart."
"You've never been in love before?" Minerva narrowed her eyes, looking doubtful.
Her gaze seemed to have penetrating power and Vera felt that she was being seen through at once.She was so angry that she ran over and grabbed Minerva's neck. "Can't you just let me fantasize fora moment?"
Minerva smiled and answered, "Why are you pretending in front of me? Is that how you behave infront of Quill?"
"I don't have to pretend in front of him. I haven't confessed to him yet he rejected me. It seems thatthere won't be any chance, but... I will not give up. Even if there's no chance, I will continue to goafter him. As long as he is single, I may have a chance, don't you think so?"
Upon hearing this, Minerva nodded. "Right, you are indeed really brave."
Only someone like Vera, who couldn't be hurt by emotions, would be brave enough to chase afterthe person she loved.
Minerva once thought that she could do the same.
However, reality proved her wrong.
At first, Vera was happy when Minerva praised her for her bravery. However, after thinking about it,she became a little depressed as she lowered her gaze.
"What's the use of being brave? If I wasn't brave, perhaps I wouldn't have been rejected so quickly...There are times that one wouldn't need to be so courageous. This way, I could stay by his side alittle longer"
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Minerva coughed lightly and said, "Alright, let's nottalk about this. Have you briefed Beanie?"
"Yes, everything."
"Nash will be sending him to school these two days and Quill will also be there."
"That's great."
In the evening, when Vera was cooking, she suddenly found that they had run out of salt. Therefore,she shouted from the kitchen, "We ran out of salt. Minerva, can you buy a pack for me?"
Minerva thought about what had happened in the past two days. She nodded and stood up. "Finethen. I'll go to the supermarket to buy more food to be stored at home."
