Female Novel
Chapter 675
During that day's meeting, everyone noticed that there was something wrong with Maddox. Fromthe moment he stepped into the conference room with a livid face, the gloomy vibe around himinstantly made the entire conference room chilly.
Everyone glanced at each other, not knowing what was going on.
This meeting had gone on multiple times, but there was no satisfactory verdict each time.
Every time, Maddox would delay the meeting due to personal matters.
They wanted to tell him this was not how things should be done. How could personal mattersinterfere with work? However, it was Maddox, after all. They would rather have more meetings thaninfuriate him.
Therefore, no matter how discontented they were, they could only hold it in.
However, Maddox brought his unresolved emotions into the meeting. They were more terrified. Howwere they going to have their meeting?
After they stared at each other, someone carefully tried to say something.
"Mr. Yardley, did you send the gift you mentioned?"
Hearing the word "gift", Maddox instantly looked up at the person who asked the question. His eyeswere like piercing knives. That guy immediately shut up and did not dare to speak again.
After a while, Maddox said indifferently, "Let's start the meeting."
Everyone fell silent and was doubting whether they were seriously going to have this meeting.Thus... In the beginning, everyone was trembling with fear. Later, when they found that Maddox was
staring at them indifferently, they gradually began to discuss boldly.
While listening to the discussion, Maddox's mind was filled with the aggrieved look on Minerva'sface. Beanie's innocently cute expression appeared too.
"Mr. Yardley?"
Maddox suddenly came to his senses. Someone was calling out to him. He looked up at the person.
"What do you think of this suggestion?"
Maddox paused for a moment before parting his thin lips, "Alright."
He said so although he didn't hear anything earlier.
Everyone was silent and then they subconsciously looked at each other. Everyone knew that hewasn't paying attention to their discussion.
Sam, who was standing by the side, could not bear to watch any longer. He walked up to Maddoxand whispered something into his ear.
At first, Maddox's expression was normal, but after listening to Sam's retelling, he suddenly frownedand sneered.
"Who was the one who came up with this proposal? You've worked at the Yardley Corporation forso many years. How could you suggest such a stupid idea?"
Everyone was speechless.
He just said that it was okay, didn't he?
Was he biting his own tongue now?
Maddox glanced around the room with his piercing eyes, "Has everyone ran out of things to do atwork? So you think that you can use anything to prevaricate me?"
Sam clenched his lips and coughed lightly. Then, he whispered something into Maddox's ear.
However, his thoughts drifted away again. After Sam finished, he sat there as if he was possessedand didn't respond.
One of the bolder people asked in a low voice.
"Assistant Sorrento, why don't we dismiss the meeting? We can continue this meeting once Mr.Yardley is done with his personal matters."
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed as they glanced at Maddox.
They were afraid that he would suddenly get mad.
Never did they expect Maddox to remain in his seat without moving an inch. It was as if he didn'thear anything.
Everyone was stupefied.
Sam was silent for a moment, and then he said, "All of you are dismissed. We will continue thismeeting once Mr. Yardley is done with his matters."
Sam had already spoken. Everyone did not continue to stay in their seats. One after another, theypacked their things and left the meeting room.
When Maddox regained his senses, he realized that the meeting room was empty.
He was taken aback for a moment, and then he frowned unhappily, "Where is everyone?"
Sam stood beside him speechlessly. "I told them to leave."
Upon hearing this, Maddox's sharp eyes suddenly swept over him. Sam only felt a chill run down hisspine, but he straightened his back and said, "I didn't mean to let them go, but you're way tooabsent-minded. You were not listening to everything they said. If you weren't who you are... I'mafraid they would be mad."
Maddox pursed his thin lips and then said indifferently, "Are you asking for a death wish?"
This murderous vibe...
Sam took a step back and felt nervous down his back. He coughed lightly and then said, "No, butthere are some things that I have to say. You have been handling Young Madam recently, right? Inthe past, you treated your work professionally and wouldn't let your private matters affect your work,but recently, your private matters are intervening with your work. This is not a good sign."
Hearing this, Maddox looked up.
"Are you blaming me?"
Sam's mouth twitched, "Young Master Yardley, I'm not blaming you. It's just my personal opinion!"
"Get lost."
Maddox did not show any mercy as he told him to scram. Sam was a little discouraged as hehelplessly opened his mouth and said, "If this continues, there will be no end to this meeting. Sir... Ihave been very occupied with work recently. I don't mind taking up this case myself. Why don'tyou... go and handle the Young Madam first?"
Maddox thought of Beanie and Minerva meanwhile. He pursed his thin lips and then stared at Sam.
"Let me ask you. If there are two people in the world who look exactly the same, who could they beto each other?"
Sam did not know why he was asking this question, but he could not figure out what Maddox wasthinking. He looked into his eyes and asked after giving it some thought, "Two of them look exactlythe same? Are they... twins?"
Just as he finished speaking, Sam felt Maddox's brows furrow.
Was this not the answer he was expecting? Sam immediately rephrased, "Unless it is cosmeticsurgery?"
Maddox was speechless.
He raised his head and swept his sharp gaze over him.
"Are you asking for a death wish?"
Sam was dumbfounded. Why did Mr. Yardley suddenly ask this question? Unless they were twins, itshould be pretty difficult to find two people who looked exactly the same, right?
An idea came to Maddox's mind, "Perhaps they might be father and son?"
"Father and son?" Sam finally got him. He stood still and thought for a while, and then he suddenlyreacted, "Young Master Yardley, do you mean..."
He thought of what Young Master Yardley was doing lately and how he bought many children's toys.Now he was talking about the father and the son...novelbin
Unless?
Sam was so shocked that he stared at Maddox with wide eyes.
"Sir... Did Young Madam give birth to a baby..."
Maddox's eyes were inexplicable. He sat there and did not deny what Sam said. He swallowed hardand walked up to him. "A son?"
"And he looks exactly the same as you?" Maddox furrowed his brows in annoyance.
Sam came to his senses and immediately said, "I'm going to look into this matter right away."
After that, he turned and headed out. After a few steps, Sam heard a cold voice echoing behindhim.
"Stop right there."
