Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 757

After Lolita left, Minerva sat alone on the chair for a while.

She did not want to have a deep relationship with Lolita, and it was also true that she was tired afterstanding for a long time.

Since Maddox's incident, she had been running around doing all sorts of things. She was very busyand tired everyday. She had been running around the past few days as well. She had been trying tofind a way to get close to him.

However, she was very satisfied.

Now, Maddox was right in front of her. She could stop and take a break when she was really tired.

Judging from that day's interview time, she should... have a 50% chance to get this position.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting there. When all the interviewees left, Minerva pattedher legs slowly, then got up and walked towards the elevator.

She walked very slowly because she had nothing else to do next. All she needed to do was to goback and wait for the news.

She planned to go to the nearby supermarket to buy some food, and go home to cook a meal forherself.

As she walked, Minerva seemed to sense that something was amiss. When she raised her head,she realized that this was the elevator that she had just come out of. The elevator that wasespecially for the president.

She didn't know what to do.

Oh, no!

Minerva said this to herself and quickly turned around to leave. She did not want to run into himhere.

However, as soon as she turned around and walked a few steps, she heard a tinkling sound behindher. It sounded like the sound of keys colliding.

Strange... Why was there the sound of the keys?

She turned her head and saw a tall figure walking in her direction. He had a tall figure andhandsome facial features. His deep eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as they fell directly onto herface.

Just like this, without any warning, their eyes met in the air.novelbin

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Minerva avoided his gaze and turned to leave.

"Stop right there."

A cold voice came from behind her. Her sprinting figure seemed to have been cursed as she stoodrooted to the spot. However, she did not move. Her expression was one of chagrin as she bit downon her lower lip.

What was the matter with her?

She had already ran out of the elevator, but... Why did she come back on her own?

It was obvious that the interview was somewhat successful.

Now that she met Maddox, Minerva felt that... the chances of success had suddenly decreased.

He was the president of the Collins Corporation. As long as he did not agree, how could shebecome the assistant secretary?

What should she do? Should she run away now? Or... Should she directly explain it to him? Sheasked herself in her mind.

Anyway, Quill had explained to him that she had mistaken him for someone else. Would he believeit if she said it again?

Feeling that the person behind her was getting closer and closer to her, Minerva's heart almostjumped out of her throat.

"Turn around."

The man's deep voice rang out from not far behind her. It was only at this moment that she realizedthat his voice... was much hoarser than before.

Was it the after-effects of the injury?

Her heart was aching. She slowly turned around and raised her head to look at Maddox.

Those beautiful eyes were exactly the same as those in his memory.

However, this time, there were no tears and no sorrow in her eyes. There was some... distress?

What was she distressed about?

Maddox squinted his eyes and sized up the woman in front of him, who made him feel very strange.However, she also made him think of her for no reason.

Every time he saw her, her emotions seemed to be different?

When Minerva looked at him and saw the inquiry in his eyes, she realized that she had accidentallyrevealed her emotions in front of him. She was stunned for a second and quickly hid the emotionsaway. Then, she greeted him.

"Hello.¹

When she greeted him, Minerva was so nervous that she seemed to be stuttering a little.

He wanted to explore the emotions under her eyes but he found that they had all disappeared.

Her eyes were clear and devoid of emotion as if they were pools of spring water that had not beencontaminated. There was a hint of elegance in her eyes.

"Yes, what's the matter?" She asked again.

He scoffed and said, "I should be the one to ask you this question, right? You didn't succeed tostrike up a conversation with me a few days ago and now you're even running into the company?You're secretly taking my exclusive elevator? Is this your way of doing things?"

Minerva was stunned and she replied, "No, it's not like that!"

She hurriedly explained, "I'm really sorry for what happened that day. My brother has alreadyexplained it to you, but maybe I was too heartbroken that day, so you didn't hear him clearly. Iapologize to you solemnly now. I'm sorry... I mistook you for someone else that day. Did I scareyou?"

He was speechless.

The aura around him became a little dangerous. He stepped forward and approached her.

"You mistook me for someone else?"

She lifted her head and slowly avoided Maddox's approach.

His breath was very close. As long as she reached out her hand, she could hold the person in frontof her.

But... He couldn't recognize her.

She couldn't do this!

After restraining her thoughts, Minerva slowly nodded her head in front of his sharp gaze.

"I'm really sorry. I mistook you for someone else that day, that's why I... said those kinds of things toyou, but I really didn't do it on purpose."

"Evidence?" Maddox did not seem to want to let her off so easily. He remained in his originalposition and asked, "How can I be sure that you're not coveting me, but you're deliberately comingup with ways to meet me?"

She didn't know how to reply.

What was on his mind? Did he think... that she seduced him? That she did it on purpose that day?

Before she could say anything, Maddox spoke.

"If you really got the wrong person, then how are you going to explain that you're here today?"

"I... I'm here to..."

What was she going to say? Minerva bit her lower lip and did not answer him. If she said that shewas going to apply for the job of assistant secretary, he would definitely feel that she was asking

something from him.

However, if she didn't say it, in the future, if she really became the assistant secretary and met himagain...

"What are you doing here?"

She was still thinking about how to answer his question when Maddox asked her again. His voicewas low and deep, with a little hoarseness. It sounded just as magical and captivating as it used to.

She did not know why, but she opened her mouth and told him the truth.

"I, I'm here to apply for a job."

Hearing that she was applying for a job, the handsome man in front of him raised his eyebrows andasked, "An application? Which position?"

Minerva answered timidly, "Assistant secretary."

After saying that, she almost bit off her tongue. She suddenly stretched out her hand to cover hermouth and stared at him in horror.

Why did she just say it out loud?

Indeed, after she finished speaking about the assistant secretary, Maddox's gaze turned even moreprobing. The expression on his face was as if he was saying, "And you're saying that you're notcoveting me?"

She wanted to explain but she felt helpless. She could only say, "Although I've applied to be anassistant secretary, but... it's not certain if I can get this position. I..."
