Female Novel
Chapter 781
When Maddox returned to the office and passed by the secretary’s office, he heard a voice coming from inside.
Upon listening, he realized it was the voice of his assistant.
“Why was she shouting so urgently? What happened?” He thought.
He furrowed his brows, lifted his hand, and pushed the door open.
After looking around, he only saw Minerva lying on the couch. The sound he heard a moment ago was from her.
He walked towards her unconsciously. Even he himself did not understand why he did that.
When he was in front of her, he saw that her delicate brows were knitted tightly. Her pale forehead was covered with cold sweat, soaking a few strands of hair on her forehead. Her pink lips were moving slightly with a painful expression.
Was she… having a nightmare?
His fingers moved. He bent down to unwind her hair with his fingers.
“No, come back…”
Minerva, who was having nightmares, let out a cry suddenly. Maddox, who was right in front of her, was startled. He noticed that she was not looking well and her breathing became more and more rapid. Tears even trickled down from the corner of her eyes.
He had seen such a suffering face.
It was the first time she met him, and she ran to him anxiously. Her expression was exactly the same as it was at the moment when she was taken away.
Sparkling tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes and fell on the couch as if it had also hit his heart.
When his frown grew deeper and deeper, the woman sleeping on the couch screamed suddenly and opened her eyes.
As for him, he was still bending over. The two of them looked into each other’s eyes unexpectedly.
He was speechless.
He pursed his thin lips. When he was about to stand up, the woman suddenly reached out and hugged his neck tightly.novelbin
“I’m glad you’re fine. I knew you wouldn’t leave me alone…”
In the nightmare, Minerva wanted to save Maddox, but she couldn’t get close to him. She could only watch him fall constantly, and she couldn’t do anything about it even though she was anxious.
Finally, when she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Maddox standing in front of her alive. Hence, she hugged him reflexively.
There was a sense of the preciousness of regaining what had been lost.
However, the person she was holding in her arms had a different thought from her.
Maddox froze. As he listened to her muttering, his knitted eyebrows became tighter and tighter.
He couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
If she knew she was holding another person?
Seemed to be treating him like another person?
Otherwise, how would she have the guts to hold him in such a manner?
And said those odd things?
He felt furious suddenly. He grabbed her thin arms and pushed her away. She hugged him tightly and shouted in a panic, “No, don’t push me away. I won’t leave you alone.”
He was lost for words.
D*mn it!
Was she really mistaking him as someone else, the one she had told him about earlier?
Maddox felt more and more uncomfortable. He exerted a little strength in his hand, and Minerva was pushed away by him reluctantly.
There were still tears in the corners of her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were charming, but her face was pale as if she had a serious illness.
He sneered. “Who do you think I am?”
She stared at him in shock.
“Hmm?” He narrowed his eyes and emitted a dangerous and harsh murderous aura. She shivered and regained her sense gradually.
The person in front of her was real, but… Maddox had lost his memory and couldn’t recognize her.
And she had lost her cool a moment ago.
Thinking of this, she quickly wiped away the tears on her face and apologized to him.
“I’m sorry, president!”
Her shocked and disoriented expression confirmed his guess. She had mistaken him for someone else, right?
Otherwise, why would she have this sort of reaction? Why would she look so sad and heartbroken?
He pursed his lips and sneered.
“What are you apologizing for? Are you sorry for hugging me, or are you sorry for mistaking me for someone else?”
She looked at him in shock. She could feel his fury from his aura and eyes. Her first reaction was he must be mad at her for hugging him!
She bit her lower lip and apologized, “I’m so sorry, I really didn’t mean it.”
She had a nightmare and was too afraid. Once she woke up and found the person in her dream standing right in front of her, she couldn’t think about anything at the time and hugged him without hesitation.

It was only then that she came to her senses slowly.
If she knew that he would be so angry, she would not do it.
However, as a matter of fact, why was he in the secretary’s office?
When she thought of this, her gaze turned confused. “Why are you here?” She asked.
Maddox was silent.
He felt irony at first. However, when she had asked him this question, he started to feel a little guilty.
Could he say that he came to see her after hearing her scream?
Of course not.
He pursed his thin lips and looked at her coldly.
The look in his eyes made her feel uncomfortable. She sat there and she felt a chill run down her spine.
It seemed that he was really furious.
She lowered her eyes and bit her pink lips.
“I’m sorry, I understand what I did make you angry, but I really didn’t mean it. I had a nightmare, that’s why…”
She couldn’t go on. Her voice and her head became lower and lower.
Seeing her like this, he felt annoyed and stood up.
“What does it have to do with me that you had a nightmare?” He retorted.
She raised her head in shock. It seemed that he was mad. She did not know what to say. She could only bite her lower lip and remain silent. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
The atmosphere in the room became quiet. He turned around and was about to leave.
Maddox paused. He did not turn around, “Is there anything else?” He added.
“Thank you for last night,” she thanked him.
He let out a cold sneer. “You don’t have to. If you were not brought there by Geoffrey, I would not bother to save you.”
His words made Minerva’s face flush. She didn’t want to give up and continued, “Even so, I still have to say thank you.”
Just that she did not need to ask why he had come to save her last night.
“That’s all?”
“What?”
He kept silent.
He didn’t move. After a long silence, he asked, “Don’t you know I have mysophobia?”
“I know,” she answered.
“Since you know, then throw the suit jacket away. Don’t give it back to me.”
After saying that, he did not give her any chance to reply and strode out of the secretary’s office.
She sat on the couch in a daze. It wasn’t that she couldn’t feel it. His emotions were totally different from last night.
“Is it because I accidentally hugged him?” She thought.
