Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 758

In the end, she really didn't know what to say. Minerva could only shut her mouth and put down herhand in annoyance.

"What happened that day... I'm really sorry. I really got the wrong person. You have to believe me, Icertainly didn't covet you. I applied for the job of the assistant secretary because I was simplyattracted to your company, so... I want to come here to study."

"Oh." Maddox replied with a cold face, "Do you mean that I am not as attractive as the company?"

She was puzzled.

"No, that's not what I mean. I just..."

For the first time, she was flustered in front of Maddox and didn't know what to say. In a hurry, herdelicate eyebrows frowned, and even her clear eyes were full of anxiety.

Maddox smiled when he saw how helpless she was.

Unexpectedly, this strange woman... was quite funny.

No, that wasn't right.

What was he doing?

He quickly came to his senses. He squinted his eyes and sized up the woman in front of him.

Her eyes were clear and her behavior was a little strange. Why should he waste his time with thiswoman here?

"Give me your hand."

She looked puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?"

He said impatiently, "Why are you wasting so much time talking? Just give me your hand."

Helplessly, she could only stretch out her hand.

Clink...

He threw the keys into her palm. Minerva was shocked as she looked at the keys that had appearedin her palm. Only then did she recognize that they were the keys that she had brought.

Why were the keys here? Did she drop them earlier?

However, if she had lost her keys, why would Maddox give them to her?

Upon thinking of this, Minerva instantly raised her head in surprise. Her clear eyes were filled withpleasant surprise as she asked, "You were waiting for me here to return the keys to me?"

Maddox replied, "Who said that I was waiting for you here?"

Minerva said, "No? Then why were you here when I came?"

"Ha." He sneered at her and said, "I just wanted to see what tricks you have up your sleeves. Now,it seems that not only do you think too much, but you are also self-conscious."

He said these words as if he had returned to five years ago...

Back when she had just married into the Yardley family, Maddox had just found out that she was adivorced woman and that it was a surrogate marriage. His attitude towards her had always been sovile.

The Maddox of five years ago and now seemed to have overlapped with each other.

It turned out that... Five years had passed, but Maddox was still Maddox. His original temper hadnot changed at all, but... it had changed for her.

For a moment, Minerva looked at him with emotions in her eyes.novelbin

He saw the emotions in her eyes because they were close. He saw her looking at him emotionallyand thought that she was moved because of the keys.

His face immediately turned cold, and his tone was a little disdainful.

"I advise you to get rid of those false ideas as soon as possible. You've got the keys, so you canleave now."

After that, he turned around and left.

Minerva stood where she was, looking at his back as he left. She slowly lowered her head andlooked at the keys.

The keys seemed to have been held by him for a long time, as the heat from his warm palm hadtransferred to the keys...

Minerva lowered her head and rubbed her face against them.

That's great.

His body temperature... was real.

The news of Maddox's appearance at the Collins family did not spread back to Hidalgo.

However, the news of Minerva's sudden absence for leave shocked everyone in the company. Eversince she replaced Maddox as the vice president of Yardley Corporation, she had been so busy.

The company's matters, as well as many of the contracts that had been withdrawn due to hisincident, were all settled by her by working overtime.

She was never late even for one day, and she would always arrive at the company early.

But now, she asked for a leave.

Everyone was a bit surprised and guessed what she was going to do.

Quill and Juliette had done a very good job in keeping things secret, so they didn't let others knowthat she went abroad. They just said that she had been managing the company's affairs for morethan a month in a row, and there was no news about Maddox. Thus, she was exhausted andneeded a long time to rest.

Everyone thought to themselves that she had indeed made a lot of contributions to the companyover the past few days. Maddox was not around and she was just a woman, and yet she had takencare of so many things. She did need more rest.

As for the date of return, it was uncertain.

Everyone sighed.

However, there was one person who knew the truth, and that was Albert, who had been taking goodcare of Minerva all this while.

When she joined the company, he had been supporting her the whole time. Later, he also helpedher through a lot of hardships. Therefore, Quill and Juliette came to him and told him about thismatter.

When Albert knew that Maddox was still alive, he nearly burst into tears. He stroked his beard andsaid bitterly, "I knew this brat was lucky. He used to annoy me. How could he die so easily? Ah,

Minerva, this girl is so lucky. She successfully waited for him all this while. Then... What's going onwith that brat, Maddox? Since you've found him, why didn't you bring him back?"

Juliette smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Clark, it's hard to explain this matter clearly, but it's a goodthing that he is still alive. As for the other things, they're a bit complicated. Young Master Yardley...seems to have lost his memory. He can't remember anything about the past."

Albert's eyes widened instantly. "What did you say? Has the brat lost his memory?"

Thinking of something, he suddenly said, "Then Minerva, isn't she..."

"Yes." Juliette nodded. "Miss Minerva stayed over there and said that she must bring Young MasterYardley back. Before she comes back with him, the company has many things to rely on for you, Mr.Clark, to deal with."

These words made Albert feel justified all of a sudden. He immediately patted his chest andnodded. "You can be rest assured about this matter. Since she has already made her decision, I willtake good care of the company during this period of time and not let those who have evil thoughtshave the opportunity to take advantage of it."

Juliette was really amused when she saw him like this.

"Mr. Clark, you're interesting."

Quill also pursed his lips and said with a faint smile, "No wonder Minerva always praised you in frontof me, Mr. Clark. This time, Minerva also told us to tell you alone."

When Albert heard that he was the only one who knew about what happened to Maddox, his senseof mission became stronger instantly. He was so moved that he almost cried on the spot. "Don'tworry. I will never let her trust fail as long as she stays in the company in the future. Alas, the feelingof being trusted by others after living half of my life is really good."

In the past, when Maddox was still in charge of the company, he would often object to Albert.However... Maddox would silently carry out his opinions.

Both Maddox and Minerva trusted him so much. Albert was really moved.
