Chapter 782

If Maddox was mad because she had accidentally hugged him, Minerva would have been toowronged.

She really didn't mean to do it.

It was all her fault. If she didn't take a nap, she wouldn't have had a nightmare.

If she did not have nightmares, she would not have hugged him the moment she woke up.

Wait, why did Maddox come to the secretary's office?

Minerva had never seen him here before?

Could it be that he came to look for her on purpose? No, that's not right. He was not such animpulsive person. He was definitely the type of person who could remain calm and self-restraint.

She had to do it slowly. At least when she had a nightmare now, she would know that Maddox wasalright immediately when she woke up and he was by her side.

She was satisfied.

Minerva got up and went to the pantry to make herself a cup of chamomile tea. After drinking half acup, she felt slightly comfortable.

Before she met Maddox, she had dreamt that nightmare almost every night. Her pillow and her backwere soaking wet every time she woke up

Cold sweat and tears almost drowned her, and the endless darkness, like a beast that ate people,made her hopeless.

However, it was different now. No matter how he treated her, as long as he was safe, she still hadthe chance to meet him.

She finished the cup tea, made a cup of coffee, and sent it to the president's office.

Maddox frowned when he saw her getting him a cup of coffee.

Did this woman notice that he was mad a moment ago, so she thought she could make a cup ofcoffee and make amends?

Who did she think she was? How could it be so easy to calm his anger?

After Minerva put the coffee on his table, she stood beside him, feeling a little uneasy. Shenervously put her hands behind her back and said carefully, "President, I'm really sorry about whathappened in the secretary's office a moment ago. I really didn't mean it..."

She raised her hand in reflex when she saw him raising his head and staring at her face with a coldexpression. "I promise, I won't do it again next time. I promise!" "Did she come here purposely justto tell him that she won't hug him anymore?" He thought.novelbin

He sneered and asked, "Do you think I care?"

"What?" Minerva didn't understand what he meant and looked at him with a confused expression.

"Why did you enter the company, Minerva?"

He interrogated suddenly.

She blinked her eyes, feeling that it was too inexplicable for him to ask her this question at this time.She thought of the scene where he pinned her against the wall and he asked the same question.

When he sent her home the night before, he mentioned that she was stubborn.

She had denied that she came to the company for him previously. However, she took the initiative tohug him in the secretary's office that afternoon.

"Is he testing me?" She thought.

Minerva felt that it was even more unacceptable for her to admit it. Hence, she shook her headvigorously.

"Sir, I've told you many times. I like your company. I want to learn and work here."

It was such an answer again. He suddenly felt annoyed. He reached out and pulled his tie. "Ifthere's nothing else, you can leave," he replied in a cold tone.

She was caught off guard.

That was fast?

"You won't be mad at me for what just happened, right?"

Maddox glanced at her and retorted, "Why are you still here?"

She did not dare to say anything else. She nodded quietly and left the office.

When she came out, she leaned against the wall and sighed.

Her heart was aching so badly. She was so tired of seeing Maddox lose his temper.

How was she going to make him think that... she was not here for him and not be weary of her?

She breathed out a deep sigh and felt extremely tired.

With her head hanging down, she returned to the secretary's office like a bereaved rabbit. However,when she went in, she saw an uninvited guest.

Geoffrey grinned as he sat down on the couch that she had been lying on. When he saw hercoming in, he immediately revealed a big smile on his face.

"Minerva, you're finally here. I thought I'd have to wait for you for some time," he said.

She was speechless.

She felt a little headache. Why won't he leave her alone? She had already made it clear to himbefore lunch, right?

Yet, he...

Geoffrey stood up and bowed to her in a serious manner.

"I'm really sorry. I'm here to apologize to you for what happened last night. I was confused.Fortunately, you're fine. Although I pranked you last night, you have to think about it. If it wasn't forme, Sebastian wouldn't have rushed over to save you. The relationship between the two of youwouldn't get better so quickly," he added.

"Hold on," she interrupted him. "What do you mean by our relationship getting better?"

She had been called out of the office by Maddox a moment ago, and she did not know when hisfury would go away.

Geoffrey answered with a smile, "Isn't it so? Didn't he come to rescue the beauty last night? If itwasn't for me, you wouldn't have such a chance to be alone with him. Minerva, can you forgive mefor this?"

She kept quiet.

Geoffrey stood up and walked to her side suddenly.

"If you're willing to forgive me, I can help you with anything in the future. Also, I'll inform you ofSebastian's whereabouts as soon as possible. What do you think?" He offered.

She remained silent.

Her brow furrowed, and she stared at the careless person in front of her. Could she believeGeoffrey?

However, he seemed to have a pretty good relationship with Maddox. By getting information aboutMaddox from him, it was still considered reliable, right?

"How about it? Isn't it a good deal?" Geoffrey really felt that the woman in front of him was too calm.Minerva was not freaking out about what happened last night. She even splashed beer on Uriah'sface. She was extremely cool, wasn't she?

More importantly, he felt that Sebastian was serious about her.

"If you agree, then let's exchange numbers. It'll be convenient for me to reveal Sebastian's news inthe future. What do you think?" He added.

Minerva looked at him and pondered for a while. Feeling that it was rather advantageous, shenodded her head.

"It's a deal," she agreed.

The two exchanged their numbers. After that, Geoffrey felt satisfied, as if he had escaped from thelife-and-death ordeal.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. If there are any pieces of information about Sebastian in the future, I'llinform you immediately," he promised her.

"Why don't you... stop calling me that." Minerva frowned.

"Don't worry. Only the two of us know this address for the time being. I will be careful not to call youthat way in front of others but don't worry, and I will only recognize you as my sister-in-law." Aftersaying that, Geoffrey patted his chest and promised her.

She couldn't help glancing at him. She didn't say a word.

However, he came over and questioned with a smile, "Minerva, you're not mad at me anymore forthat incident last night, are you?"

"Don't you ever mention this again. I'll just pretend nothing ever happened," she scolded.

She also seemed to have acquiesced to the title of his calling her sister-in-law.

Minerva felt that it was not wrong for Geoffrey to call her that.
