Chapter 133
Juliette had to agree with Sylvia. She smiled at Kimberly and said, "Miss Shell, please take care of Miss Sylvia."
Kimberly nodded at her, replying, "No problem."
Juliette turned back and left, and two of them went out together.
"Did you drive here? I'll take you to the hospital," Kimberly said.
After she helped Sylvia get into the car, she took out her phone and searched on the Internet for the nearest hospital. After she set the location, she took Sylvia's car key and drove away.
As she drove onto the freeway, Sylvia slumped in the passenger's seat. She wasn't looking good.
"Kimberly..." Sylvia called.
Kimberly was focusing on the road. When Sylvia called her, she tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Just hold on a little longer. We will arrive at the hospital soon," Kimberly continued.
However, Sylvia thought differently. She looked at Kimberly from the side with gloomy eyes and thought of what had happened in the restaurant just now. She couldn't help asking, "In the future, you..."
"What?" Kimberly asked.
"Forget it, it's nothing." Sylvia lowered her eyes. This meeting must have been an accident. Since she had solved it, it should not be easy for them to meet again next time.
As long as they didn't meet, Sylvia didn't care about anything else. She comforted herself with this fact.
On the other hand, Kimberly thought that Sylvia was in pain. When the traffic light turned red, she reached out to hold her and comforted her softly, "Don't be nervous. I will send you to the hospital as soon as possible and let the doctor treat your wound."
Sylvia looked at their hands that were intertwined together and felt very unpleasant.
Not only was Kimberly not aware that Sylvia had taken away her identity, but she was also genuinely treating her kindly. Her sincerity made Sylvia feel disgusted. Before she could react, she shook Kimberly's hand away.
"What are you talking about? You don't know anything at all!" Sylvia yelled.
The sudden rage startled Kimberly. She stared blankly at Sylvia, not knowing what had happened.
Sylvia's eyes turned red, and her tears fell smoothly down her cheeks. She bit her lower lip and repeated, "You don't know anything at all! You don't know!"
"... I'm sorry, Sylvia, I can't feel your pain, but I know that it doesn't feel good. Don't be sad. How about this? When the doctor is done treating you, I'll bring you to the dessert shop for dinner, is that okay?" Kimberly suggested.
Sylvia was even angrier. She was already feeling guilty from the beginning. The more Kimberly treated her well, the more Sylvia resisted it.
At this moment, when she looked at Kimberly's face, she felt extremely repulsed!
Sylvia had done such an outrageous thing, but Kimberly was still worried about her. The guilt in her heart intensified.
Kimberly saw Sylvia ignoring her, but the red light had turned green. Thus, she could only drive Sylvia to the hospital first, accompany her to deal with the wound, and then sent her back.
Before they parted, Sylvia suddenly asked her, "Kimberly, I was in a lot of pain just now. I'm sorry that I was angry with you. You won't blame me, will you?"
"No, I won't. Go in quickly. We are good friends after all, it's okay," Kimberly replied.
Kimberly certainly would not blame her. After all, Sylvia had helped her a lot.
Sylvia nodded and said, "Okay, Quill has returned. I will ask him how the investigation is doing later at night. Then, I will contact you tomorrow."
Kimberly was a little stunned. After a while, she smiled faintly and responded, "Don't worry. You can rest first."
After that, Kimberly drove straight back to the company.
After returning the car to Sam, she suddenly remembered an important thing and went directly to Maddox's office.
Knock knock- "Come in."
Kimberly pushed open the office door. When she entered, she saw Maddox sitting alone in the wheelchair and looking at the computer screen with an indifferent face. When he saw her coming in, he raised his eyes leisurely and fixed his gaze on her face.
Kimberly took a deep breath, licked her lips nervously, and then walked towards him.
She was still wearing the blue dress with Maddox's coat on her, which was a sight that pleased him greatly.
"Young Master Yardley, about that..." Kimberly stood still and looked anxiously at Maddox.
"What's wrong?" Maddox raised his eyebrows and said, "Just say what you want to say. Don't hesitate."
Kimberly pursed her lips and whispered, "About that meal today..."
Why was she mentioning the meal as soon as she came back? Maddox almost exploded in front of her. He sneered and asked, "Are you still thinking about that meal? Or are you thinking about something else?"
Kimberly didn't know what to reply.
There he goes again. His possessiveness was so strong. She had just asked him casually about it, but he could twist it in such a way. She rolled her eyes helplessly and explained, "I mean, I forgot to pay the bill for the meal when I left."
"Oh." Maddox looked at her indifferently and replied, "I didn't pay the bill either."
Kimberly's expression changed instantly. "What's wrong with you? We have asked the Hanover Corporation out to negotiate. I had booked the restaurant, yet I forgot to pay the bill. Why didn't you pay for it? What if we leave a bad impression on the Hanover Corporation?" She questioned.
Speaking of this, Kimberly bit her lower lip anxiously. Her mind was reeling, racing a million miles a second.
Maddox's eyes grew darker when he heard that. His tone grew colder as he asked, "Why do you care so much about leaving a bad impression on him?"
"I'm worried about you!" Kimberly blurted, "Don't you want to cooperate with the Hanover Corporation? If you leave a bad impression, what will you do if they don't want to cooperate with the
Yardley Corporation? By that time, the Old Master will treat you badly again..."
Kimberly was so anxious. She was like an ant on a hot wok. Suddenly, she thought of something and said, "I'll go and explain to President Hanover and apologize."
After that, Kimberly turned around and wanted to go out.
Maddox's gaze was cold and he narrowed his eyes. He ordered, "Stop right there."
Kimberly halted and turned to look at him in confusion.
Maddox pursed his lips. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "In your eyes, am I a person who can't think for myself? Is that why you assume that Quill had paid the bill? Even if he actually paid for the meal, so what?" He asked.
Kimberly bit her lip and explained, "I didn't say that he couldn't pay the bill. I just feel that this time, it was us, the Yardley Corporation, who had invited them out. Therefore, we should do our best to treat our guests."
"We"...
This word made him feel inexplicably comfortable. Maddox curled his lips into a smile. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
His smile was a little dazzling, and Kimberly thought of something. "So, did you pay for it?" She asked again.
"No," Maddox replied.
Kimberly then said, "...I'd better explain to him."
"Explain what? That restaurant is under the Yardley Corporation," said Maddox.
Kimberly was dumbstruck. She asked, "What did you say?"
"Why do I have to pay when I have a meal there?" Maddox simply responded.
Kimberly was speechless. So, after all this time, Maddox was actually just trying to keep her guessing. Was she fooled by him?
