Chapter 818

It was just like the first time he had been hugged by a woman, Maddox's entire body was frozen, and he did not dare to move an inchHer body frame was completely different from him. It was as soft as cotton, something that he fell in love with and didn't bear to let go of.Just as Maddox was about to raise his hands, Minerva got up and pushed him away.

"You should go back."

Maddox's eyelids twitched. Sa soon?

Before he could react, the door had already been opened and he was pushed out. After Minerva told him goodbye. she clased the door withouthesitation.

In the dark corridor, Maddox stayed where he was, listening to the moans from the neighbour.

“What a heartless woman!"

Just a second ago, she had admitted that she liked him, but then she pushed him out the next second.Wasn't she the one whose heart was difficult to understand?novelbin

Maddox narrowed his eyes and looked at the suite next door.

If she lived here, wouldn't she have to listen to such a noise every night? Even though Maddox knew that the voice belonged to someone else. he stillfelt unhappy.

After Minerva locked the door, she quickly ran to the bathroom and pinched her cheeks in front of the mirror. She was sure that what had happenedjust now was not a dream as her cheeks were in pain.

She had not expected Maddox to change so quickly.

She had thought that he would get engaged to someone else, and then they would become complete strangers.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Minerva slowly smiled

However, the smile soon disappeared. Her expression became serious once again. She thought back te what Zaydon had told her that afternoon.

The news of her and Maddox had been completely erased from foreign media. This meant that not many people knew about this matter, and even ifthey knew, they would probably have been bribed

As for who the mastermind was, she could imagine it easily.

Minerva had thought of using this method to get close to Maddox. After all, the Collins family had a huge influence to such a point they could shut outthe heavens with their bare hands.

How could the Collins family not know about her and Maddox?

It seemed that things were more difficult than she had expected

Minerva took out her mobile phone to call Juliette, but she hesitated when she saw the time. She probably hadn't got off work yet at this time.Helplessly, Minerva could only send a text to Juliette, asking her to contact her tomorrow when she had time.

After sending the message. Minerva packed up for a while and went to sleep.

That night, Minerva actually had a dream.

She dreamt of Maddox pushing her against the door while kissing her over and over again. However, Maddox in her dream was much morepassionate than he was in reality, and she could not fight back at all

By the time Minerva opened her eyes, the sky was already bright. She blinked her eyes and turned over, feeling her legs go limp.Her dreams were overlapping with her reality.

For a while, Minerva couldn't tell if those events were a dream or reality.

But it was certain that she had to get up. wash up. and pack up to go to work.

When Minerva finished washing up and walked out of the door, she bumped into the young couple from the suite next door. The lady's body was assoft as a snake's as she leaned on the man's body. In a soft voice, she asked, "What are we having for breakfast?”

The man had a doting smile on his face. "Whatever you like, then well go.”While speaking, the lady looked at Minerva. Since they were neighbours, she gave Minerva a sweet smile.

Upon seeing her, Minerva thought of the voice she had heard last night. She immediately felt a burning sensation on her face. After nodding her headto greet her, she turned around and left in a hurry.

On the way to work, Minerva received a call from Geoffrey.

"Hello?"

"Minerva, last night..."

Minerva went speechless.

"Collins went to meet you last night, didn't he? Did he explain it to you?"Alas, Geoffrey really was a gossiper.

Minerva helplessly replied, "Why don't you ask him directly if you want to know? Wouldn't it be faster?"

On the other end of the phone,Geoffrey squirmed his lips andansweredy'Please don't. I dare note ~ask him.After I said something.= . . _~wrongtast night, his looks almestkillee’me. But Minerva, Collins I isInnécent. This I must tell you."Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Innocent? Minerva's eyes narrowed slightly.

Geoffrey contiqued, "Yesterday,went to the hotel where the Dormerfarnily and Collins Family were <having dioner. After Collins left, Iwaitedfor along time downstateMaster Collins and the old codiger ofthe:Dormer family also came out.Gdess what I saw?" Content belongsto NovelDrama.Org

Minerva was frustrated, "Don't be so mysterious. Just say it."“Damn, Minerva, you really can't take a hint. You should be curious after what I've just said. Yet you are so fierce..."

Minerva was speechless.

“Alright, I'll tell you. It hadn't beenlong since Collins left, so I thoughtabout stayingand finding out moreabout the situation. Not long after, LSaw Master Coll ins come down as.well. Hig:Somplexion didn’ look D0good. That's all. Later on, MasterDortner looked furious wher-hecame out. Monica was fo owingbehind him, and her makéup wassmeared with tears. Her clothes andmakeup were all meticulously madeup. It's a pity that she didn't catchthe eye of that someone.” Contentbelongs to NovelDrama.Org

Monica..

Minerva had not expected this woman's name to appear in her and Maddox's lives again.

Since the last time they met. she had left a bad impression behind. She knew that Maddox had a girlfriend, but still forced herself to be with Maddox.Just like this time.

Even if Maddox had lost his memory, Monica still knew everything that had happened between them. Yet. she still wanted to get engaged to him.Huh, so people nowadays ignore moral lines for their love and own pleasure?

"Minerva, I can tell that you're the only one Collins cares about. Although the two of you haven't known each other for a long time, you can still charmhim completely, so I won't have to worry about the two of you in the future."

Upon hearing this, Minerva suddenly remembered that Geoffrey had been trying to act as a go-between for the two of them these days. When theywere together, he would often provoke Maddox

Maybe he was bored, but he shouldn't have to worry about them all the time.

Minerva couldn't help asking, "Geoffrey, why are you helping me?"

He snorted and then answered with a smile, "No reason? Maybe it's because I'm bored.”

"Even if you're bored, you shouldn't...

"Well, Minerva, are you on your way to work now? I won't bother you for now."

Without waiting for Minerva’s reply, he quickly hung up the phone.

Upon hearing the busy tone coming from her phone, she was stunned for a few seconds before she put the phone away.Geoffrey would help her to do these things. She felt that his intentions were probably not that simple.

He must have some purpose.

She didn't know what his purpose was, but he probably wouldn't harm her.
