Chapter 591

Moments later, Han Minerva turned around and coughed softly.

"Come in."

Maddox followed behind her and closed the door. Minerva then said to him, "Change your shoes. Ihaven't started cooking yet. Wait for me in the living room."

After saying that, she went into the kitchen and closed the door behind her.

After boiling the water, she stood there and stared at the water in a daze.

She had initially wanted to invite Maddox over for dinner, but she regretted it now. She did notexpect him to see the message.

Maddox, that b*stard.

Minerva was cursing him internally at first, but when she thought that someone could accompanyher for dinner, she was still very happy.

Halfway through cooking, Maddox suddenly entered.

Han Minerva jumped in fright. "What are you doing in here?"

"What can I help you with?" Maddox sat in the living room for a while and felt that it was not right forhim to not help out. He didn't want her to do all the work on her own.

Therefore, he went straight into the kitchen.

"There's no need," replied Minerva. After that, she continued, "It'll be done very soon. If you want tohelp, help me set the table."

Maddox nodded and went to get the plates and cutleries.

After he was done setting up, he came back into the kitchen. Seeing that the dishes were ready, hebrought them out to the dining table.

After a while, there were already a few dishes on the table. Both of them sat down opposite eachother.

It was boring and lonely to eat alone. However, when Maddox was sitting in front of her, Minerva feltawkward. She kept her head down during the meal, trying not to look into Maddox's eyes.

"Am I that scary?"

Out of the blue, Maddox suddenly asked.

Minerva raised her head in confusion and looked at him in shock. "What?"

"Otherwise, why wouldn't you dare to look up when you were eating? Do you prefer if I didn't sit infront of you?"

Before she could explain, Maddox, who was opposite her, suddenly stood up. He walked around thetable and sat down beside her.

What was going on? Minerva blinked her eyes and looked at him helplessly.

"Let's eat." Maddox put some food on her plate and said dotingly, "Eat more. You look thinner."

Minerva blinked her eyes again. Had she become thinner?

She didn't think so.

This meal was awkward at first, but the food was delicious. Gradually, she started to enjoy the meal.

After dinner, when she was doing the dishes, Maddox received a call.

After that, he frowned. "I'm not free."

The person on the other end of the phone was trying to explain something anxiously, which madeMaddox frown more tightly. He sneered and said, "Come to me after you have solved all theproblems."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Minerva's slowed down a little and she couldn't help but ask.

"Is it Sam?"

"Yes." Maddox stood up and walked up to her, wanting to help her.

"It's work related, isn't it? Why don't you solve it first? There's nothing to do here. I don't need yourhelp."

She couldn't ask him to do the dishes, right?

How could the President of Yardley Corporation be doing the dishes? It would be better if he didn'truin her things.

"Go ahead." Minerva gave him a push. "It's fine as long as you return home early."

Maddox's heart lurched when he heard that. He couldn't help but grab her wrist. "Don't you thinkthat we look especially..."

"You'd better leave quickly."

Minerva abruptly cut him off. She pulled him out of the kitchen to the entrance. Then, she openedthe door and pushed him out.

Without giving Maddox any chance to react, she slammed the door shut.

The door almost knocked into Maddox's nose, but he was not angry at all. Instead, there was asweet feeling in his heart. After a while, he reached out to touch his nose and a smile appeared onhis face.

Well, there was still a long way to go. She couldn't escape anyway.

He would let her off this time.

After cleaning up, Minerva went upstairs and changed into her pajamas and was about to go to bedwhen she thought of what had happened in the company during the day.

She thought for a moment and opened the contact list in her phone.

She has taken down Justin's contact number. It was not 10 o'clock yet. She wasn't sure if he wasstill up or not.

After thinking for a while, Minerva sent him a message.

It was just a simple message, but when Justin saw it, he called her immediately.

Minerva answered the call and greeted in surprise, "Hi Mr. Yeager."

"Miss Hanover, I saw the message you sent me. Do you want our President's contact information?"

She had originally sent the message just to try her luck. It was impolite to call someone for work atnight too. However, she did not expect him to have seen the message and even called her directly.

Minerva felt a little embarrassed at this moment and coughed softly.

"I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour, Mr. Yeager. Are you still up?"

"Haha, I was at a business dinner just now. I only got in the car when I saw your message. Wouldyou like to talk to our President in person?"

His tone was a little cautious as if he was testing her. It seemed like he was afraid that she wouldfeel offended.

Before this, Vera had said that she felt that Justin was extremely respectful towards her. At thattime, Minerva didn't think much of it.

Now that she thought about it, there was a reason behind it.

She thought for a while and felt that it was better to be straightforward.

"Yes, I want to talk to him personally about the details of the contract, so..."

"No problem," Justin agreed almost instantly. "I will send his phone number to you. Miss Hanover,please wait for a moment."

Then, he hung up the phone.

Minerva was stunned.

Was he really waiting for her?

Benedict, what on earth do you want to do?

Within moments, she received Benedict's phone number. She glanced at the number andmassaged the spot between her sore brows.

It was already so late now. Should she call him?

Should she just ask him directly?

Could it be that he had fallen asleep? As Minerva was still hesitating, she had already dialed hisnumber.

After a while, the call was connected.

"Hello?"

A gentle voice came from the other end. Even though it had been a very long time, this voice wasstill very familiar to Minerva.novelbin

After all, this person had saved her life before.
