Chapter 697

Minerva accepted the menu since it was already presented to her. She took the phone and had alook. Initially, she didn't have much of an appetite. However, while she was looking at the menu, shesuddenly felt a craving for many things on the menu.

As such, she ordered quite a lot of food. When she was finally done ordering, she realized that sheordered way too much food. She was too embarrassed to return the phone to him.

"That's all."

She was still in his embrace. As such, Maddox saw everything when she was placing the order. Hecould not help but chuckle when he saw her handing the phone back to him.

"Is that enough?"

Upon hearing this, she felt warm in her ears. She gritted her teeth and said, "Do you take me for apig? I can't eat that much."

He chuckled softly. He tapped his fingers on the screen and ordered a few more items. Then, hewaited for the delivery man to send over the food.

After doing this, she continued to nestle in Maddox's embrace.

"Are you done with your meeting?"

He remembered that she had been waiting for him here for quite some time now when she broughtup the meeting. He pursed his lips and said, "Next time, just come straight to me. You don't have towait for me."

She answered, "Even if you're in the middle of a meeting? Wouldn't I be interrupting the meeting..."

Halfway through her words, he suddenly lowered his head and breathed into her ear, "Nothing ismore important than you."

Maddox...

He was so much better at sweet-talking ever since the proposal.

Although he said she could, she wouldn't go and disturb him while he was working.

She didn't need anyone to be around her 24/7. She wasn't the kind of person who needed him tostop whatever he was doing and immediately accompany her.

She was not that demanding.

There should always be room for compromise in love.

She and Maddox took a lot to get back together. She had to appreciate him.

The order arrived in a blink of an eye. It didn't take long for Sam to carry their meals upstairs intothe office. Sam knocked on the door of the lounge, "Young Master Yardley, your meal is here. I'll putit on the table."

"Alright."

Maddox answered in a deep voice. Then, he got up with Minerva in his arms.

"Why are you carrying me? It's such a short distance. I can walk on my own."

He smirked helplessly, "You slept too well. It'd be better if I carried you over myself. Otherwise, Iwouldn't bear to see you fall."

She was speechless.

She was not going to fall for no reason.

"If you want to carry me, just say it. There's no need to find such a lame excuse," she muttered in alow voice.

Upon hearing this, he suddenly stopped and stared at her. She felt a little embarrassed as sheavoided his sharp gaze, "What are you waiting for? Aren't we going to eat?"

"You just said..."

"I didn't say anything."

She lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at him again. Then, she heard him chuckle softly. Heseemed to let her get away with it and walked outside.

He was a neat freak, so the office was spotless. When she headed out, she saw two big bags lefton the table. She looked around and realized there was no place to eat. Hence, she said, "Whydon't we eat it in the lounge? You're a neat freak so I don't think we should eat in your office."

The office was so spotless. It would be an insult if she accidentally dirtied it.

He put her down and picked up the two big bags. Then, he took her to the lounge.

The lounge was equipped with a table and chairs, which was perfect.

The office was not the best place for food.

Before digging in, Minerva went to the bathroom and washed her face to wake herself up. Whenshe came out of the bathroom, Maddox had the table set up.

She sat down in front of the table. Just as she was about to pick up her cutleries, she smelled anextremely greasy aroma. Her stomach was churning at the smell of it, and it rushed straight to her

head.

Her expression changed. She instinctively covered her mouth with her hand, got up, and ran to thebathroom.

Bang!

He was just about to serve her a bowl of soup when he saw Minerva covering her mouth as sherushed into the washroom.

His face changed, and he quickly went after her.

The bathroom door was closed, and Minerva retched in the sink. She retched for a long time, butnothing came out. This feeling was unbearable.

Upon hearing this, he shouted to her from the outside. She cleaned herself up before opening thedoor.

"Are you not feeling well?" He frowned when he saw how pale she was. He pursed his lips and heldher wrist, "Let's go to the hospital."

She shook her head and said, "There's no need to go to the hospital. It was just a slight discomfort."

"What's going on?"

"I think I'm not used to the greasy smell," she said. She then swept her gaze across the pile of foodon the table. "I suddenly... want something light."

Maddox was dumbfounded.

He was silent for a moment and then called Sam to get rid of the food. After that, he left thecompany with her.

She sat in the passenger seat and thought for a while, "I would like some vegetarian food. Is thatokay?"

"Anything you like."

He personally brought her to a vegetarian restaurant. Minerva was very excited and ordered a lot.After that, she felt okay throughout the meal.

He felt less worried when he saw that she was feeling much better.

Initially, he was going to take her to the hospital for a check-up. Now, it seemed like the food wasjust not up to her liking.

While they were dining, Maddox felt a light sweeping over him. He glanced sharply at the window,just in time to look into the person's eyes who was secretly photographing them.

The guy was taken aback for a moment, and then he silently ran away with the camera in his arms.

"What's wrong? Are you not going to eat? Don't you like the food here?"

Minerva's voice pulled Maddox's consciousness back. He saw her looking at him worriedly, "Isuddenly wanted to eat vegetarian food today. I didn't even bother to ask whether it was what youlike, you..."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not picky with food.

Anything is fine."

He replied with a quick response. Minerva recalled the matter of posters. She wanted to discussthat with him.

"By the way, those posters... Can you remove them? If you keep this up... It's too high-profile."

Upon hearing this, Maddox couldn't help but raise his lips, "What's wrong with being high-profile? Iwant to let the entire world know that I'm going to marry you and let everyone be envious of you.Don't you like that?"

It was not that Minerva didn't like it, but if this continued, she might not be able to go to work like anormal person anymore.novelbin
