Chapter 823

They were brothers and sisters.Seeing his sister crying like this, it would be a lie if Zaydon didn't feel any distress.

His heart might ache for her, but he couldn't allow her to interfere in a love affair. That would harm her virtue. Zaydon's big hand patted Monica's backlightly and coaxed her in a soft voice, "Be good, don't cry. What's so good about Maddox? He is not the only man in the world. I will introduce you tosomeone more outstanding. Moreover, he, Maddox, is not good enough for you. It's him who doesn’t have good taste, huh?"

Monica was crying in his arms, and her tears kept falling down. She kept shaking her head, and Zaydon could only continue to coax her.

Monica kept crying. In the end, she was still twitching after she had finished crying. She sobbed as she looked at Zaydon's arm. The wound she hadbitten was still bleeding, and his flesh was a little rotten, looking serious and terrible.

"Zaydon, I'm sorry... I was too impulsive just now. Does it hurt?" She cried while asking.

Zaydon stroke her head and smiled bitterly, “As long as you don't do anything stupid, it doesn't matter how many times you bite. Anyway, this littleinjury won't kill me."

"I'm sorry, Zaydon. I... won't be so indecent in the future.”

When he heard this, he thought that she had given up on Maddox. His heart. which was on tenterhooks, finally relaxed. "It's good that you can think itthrough. That kind of man is not worth it.”

"Zaydon, I'm fine. Hurry up and bandage the wound. Don't let it worsen or it'll be too late." After saying that, Monica even stretched out her hand towipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes while urging Zaydon

He looked at her back hesitantly and said, “Then I'll go treat the wound. I will have the maids to help you clean up the room. Go rest first and thentake a bath to calm down. After that, I will take you out and introduce more outstanding men to you." “Zaydon, just go do something about that woundalready." Monica pushed him up the stairs. He could not resist her at all, and went to have a doctor to look at the wound.

Looking at Zaydon's back as he left. Monica's previously pitiful expression instantly changed. A cold smile gradually appeared on her lips.She stretched out her index finger and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes gently.

Zaydon was right. If she continued to make a scene like this, other than being laughed at, it would be useless. No matter how hard she smashed orcried, Maddox would not fall in love with her.

To deal with this kind of man who was as cold as a block of ice, it seemed that she could no longer use the old method.She still believed in fate. Since God had given her one more chance, she would hold onto this opportunity tightly and never let it go.

"Maddox, just you wait and see. Even if you don't love me, I will definitely remember how you rejected me. I will definitely make you take the initiativeto ask me to marry you.” Monica thought.

After making up her mind, Monica's smile became sinister and terrifying.

When the maids hiding in the dark saw this scene, they couldn't help shivering. They looked at each other and whispered, "Is she okay? That smilejust now was so scary."

"Who knows? Our miss has been pampered since she was born? This time she was rejected unexpectedly. I think she must be very upset, oh dear...”

"I hope she will recover soon. If she continues to lose her temper like this, I'm afraid that we will not be able to get out of bed due to injuries in thenear future."

"I hope so."

On the other side, just as she was about to get off work, Minerva went to the office to deliver the documents. She didn't stay in the office any longerbecause of what Maddox had said to her. After putting down the documents, she turned around and left.

However, Maddox raised his head to look at her back and ordered, "Wait for me when you get off work."Minerva stopped in her tracks and looked back at him in uncertainty, “Huh?”

Maddox pursed his lips and squinted his eyes at her. "You don't want to?”

Minerva stammered, "No, I'll excuse myself first."novelbin

She did that to prevent him from blaming her for seducing him.

"Okay."

After Minerva left, Maddox opened the file. No one noticed that his lips was curled into a faint smile.Soon, it was time to get off work. Minerva packed her things and walked out of the secretary's office.She slowed down her pace a little and then looked at the entrance of the office.

Just now, Maddox had told her to wait for him after work. But he didn't instruct her how.

Should she wait in the company and then leave together with him?

Or was it like the one before?

After thinking about it for a while, Minerva felt that the latter seemed more feasible. Because although her relationship with Maddox had improved,their relationship status wasn't concrete.

And with Maddox's current status, if she left the company with him now, it was inevitable that there would be criticism.If it happened, news of this would surely spread to Master Collins‘ ears.

At the thought of this, Minerva decided to act like before. After making up her mind, she went straight to the elevator and walked out of the mainentrance.

Because she was waiting for Maddox. Minerva walked very slowly this time, as if she was strolling

When she fastened the seat belt, she heard him coldly questioning her.

"Didn't I tell you to wait for me?"

Upon hearing this, Minerva sloweddown hecmovement of fastening”her seatbelt. She raised her headand looked into his dark eyes, only tofind-that there was a strong sense ofdispleasure i in his eyes. Contentbélongs to NovelDrama.Org ~

She was somewhat at a loss. "I've been waiting for you. Don't you notice that I'm walking very slowly today?”Maddox frowned, but the expression on his face was still unpleasant.

He kept silent.

Minerva couldn't understand. Shehad deliberately slowed down towait for hingswhy was he stillunhappy? After thinking for a xmoment, She quickly reacted. "YOU...don’ tt tall me you want me to wait foryou. at the company so we gah leavetogether?" He pursed his lips into aStraight line and remainéd silent.The answer was obvious.

Minerva suddenly became speechless. After fastening her seatbelt, she took her hand back and looked elsewhere."It can't happen, I can't leave the company with you.”

Upon hearing this, Maddox. who had already had a sour facial expression on his face, frowned even more and asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraidthat someone will see us together?"

Minerva nodded honestly.

She was indeed afraid that others would see the two of them walking together. If it truly happened, she would not be able ta cover up the gossip.When he saw that she had admitted it without hesitation, Maddox's frown deepened. A cold aura started to surge around him.

"Are you so afraid of being discovered? Am I that horrendous? Hm?”

Minerva didn't want to be seen with him because she was afraid that Master Collins would find out. When the time came, she wouldn't be able to fightback, so she didn't think about anything else

Only when she realized that Maddox was in a bad mood did she know that she might have said something wrong. She explained in a fluster, “It's notwhat you think, I..."
