Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 210

Sam widened his eyes, "Go back? Are we not going in?"

"No."

Kimberly lowered her eyelids and stared at her toes, muttering, "Let's go."

"But..."

Before Sam could persuade her, Kimberly stood up and walked in the opposite direction. Sam froze for a few seconds before turning around to catch up to her.

He asked, "What's the matter? I thought we agreed to have lunch together."

No matter how Sam tried to talk to her, Kimberly kept ignoring him. After walking behind her for what seemed like ages, Sam rushed forward and blocked her path. "We've come all this way. If we leave right away..."

"Didn't you see that?" Kimberly raised her head and looked at him coldly.

Her indifferent gaze stunned Sam. He asked blankly, "See what?"

There was a hint of bitterness in Kimberly's eyes. She lowered her eyes and continued, "They deserve to have their lunch in peace. Why should we disturb them? Let's mind our own business."

Sam did not expect to hear that from Kimberly. He frowned slightly and said, "You can't say that. Why do they deserve their alone time? You have seen it with your own eyes. Sylvia bears bad intentions. How could you just leave..."

Kimberly cut him off, "You've been talking bad about Sylvia. Even if it is true that Sylvia is planning to seduce Maddox, what about him? Why didn't he refuse her advances? Why is he spending time

with her? Who am I to make a decision for him?"

Sam was dumbstruck, "This..."

"Maddox is an adult, and he has his own opinions. I can't control him. If he really likes Sylvia and wants to be with her, he has the freedom to do so. Sam, you won't understand this because you have never been in love. If he really wants her, no one can stop him. And if we go in..." Kimberly lowered her eyes and chuckled in self- mockery, "We would just humiliate ourselves."

Kimberly took pride in her dignity. Dignity was the most important thing to her.

For a moment, Sam did not know what to say. After all, there was some sense to Kimberly's rant.

In fact, Sylvia could try to seduce Maddox all she wanted. If he rejected her, she couldn't do anything about it. He had promised to have lunch with Sylvia after all. She didn't force him.

"I'll go back to work. If you have work to do, you can go." After that, Kimberly kept her eyes lowered to the ground and left. No one saw the tears in her eyes. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She raised her head when she was sure that Sam wasn't following her. She walked confidently back to the company, wiping away the tears from her eyes. This was nothing to her. If this was Maddox's choice, there was nothing she could do about it.

After returning to the company, Kimberly happened to bump into Vera, who was about to leave the company. When Vera saw Kimberly's swollen eyes, she wanted to say something to Kimberly, but something struck her mind as she walked closer to Kimberly. Then, Vera pouted and walked away angrily.

"Vera..." Kimberly called out to Vera, but then she decided against it and swallowed her words back.

In the end, she could only look on as Vera walked away from her.

After standing still for a while, Kimberly took the elevator back to her office.

What she didn't know was that people were talking about her behind her back.

"Hey, did you see that? Just now, Sylvia, the daughter of Hanover Corporation was here. At first, I thought she was here for Kimberly. I didn't expect to see her pushing Young Master Yardley out of the office. They were even laughing and chatting so intimately."

"What? But I thought Sylvia and Kimberly were good friends?"

"What's so great about being friends? It all gets thrown out of the window when it comes to a man. Didn't you see what she was trying to do?"

"That's true. Even her best friend is fake, trying to steal Young Master Yardley away from her. I think Kimberly is obviously on the losing side!" "That is of course. Look at her, she has nothing. She's also not as pretty as Sylvia. How can you compare them both?"

"Did you see her face just now? She was crying. By the way, I heard that she got promoted again. I bet she will get fired in three days time."

"What are you talking about?" Suddenly, Vera interrupted the group of people and glared at them fiercely, "Who are you guys to gossip about Young Master Yardley?"

The female employees looked at Vera, who they knew from the finance department. They replied impolitely, "Vera, I thought that you were close to Kimberly. Why didn't you go to the canteen with her these days? Is it because she thinks too highly of herself and stopped hanging out with you? I told you, you were used. Now that you are useless to her, she's ignoring you."

Vera was speechless upon hearing this.

"Vera, stop hanging out with Kimberly next time. You can't satisfy someone as arrogant as her."

Vera frowned and retorted, "Who told you Kimberly ignored me? I haven't been feeling well and stopped going to the canteen. Besides, it is none of your business. Do you know who she is? If you don't, you better keep your mouths shut! Idiots!"

"Hey!" the employees gasped.

Vera taunted, "What? If you're not happy with what I said, fight me."

One of them growled, "She's just a fool. Don't waste your breath on her, Let's go!" Then, all of the employees left. Vera stood rooted to the spot, clenching her fists furiously.

Kimberly... was such a fool.

Vera had warned her about Sylvia. But Kimberly didn't believe her. Now, Sylvia had betrayed her. On the other hand, Sylvia was such a b*tch. She had actually gone out for lunch with Maddox. The more Vera thought about it, the more disgusted she was with Sylvia.

Sylvia returned with Maddox after their lunch. After saying her goodbyes, she went to the parking lot. When she was about to open her car door, someone slammed her door shut. Shocked, she turned to look at who it was.

"You wicked woman!" It was Vera, from the finance department.

At this moment, she was glaring at Sylvia angrily.

Sylvia had always pretended to be elegant only in front of Kimberly. But when it came to others, she was known to be haughty. Thus, when she heard Vera, Sylvia raised her hand and slapped Vera on her face.

Vera didn't expect to get slapped so soon. She took a few steps back in surprise and placed her hands on her burning cheek.

Sylvia retracted her hands. An evil smile was plastered on her face.

"Who are you calling 'wicked woman'?"
