Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 172

When Kimberly went down the stairs, she saw Maddox's car. Sam greeted her when he saw her.

Sam called, "Assistant Shell!"

Kimberly was polite to him at first, but recently, with everything that had happened with Maddox, she was not interested to entertain Sam anymore. She simply glanced at him and left.

Sam scratched his head unconsciously, wondering if he had offended Kimberly.

Soon after that, Maddox came down. Sam smiled and came up to him. However, Maddox didn't even look at him and moved past him.

"Are they fighting again?" Sam thought.

The next day, Kimberly took a leave to have a maternity check.

After getting the report, the doctor told her that the fetal position was not very stable. He advised her to rest more and not to tire herself out.

Kimberly noted it down and left the hospital.

When she walked out of the hospital, she saw someone familiar. It was Juliette from Hanover Corporation, Quill's secretary. Kimberly felt the need to greet Juliette. After all, they had shared a meal before.

Hence, Kimberly went over and patted Juliette on the shoulder. Juliette turned around and asked, "Kimberly?"

"It's really you, Secretary Sharpio." Kimberly smiled at her and said, "Why are you here? Are you not feeling well?"

In fact, Juliette was very surprised to see Kimberly. After all, she had been investigating Kimberly's background recently. It felt different to meet Kimberly in real life.

"No. I'm good." Juliette smiled slightly and replied, "It's President Hanover."

Juliette couldn't figure out what Quill thought about Kimberly. Although he had asked her to investigate Kimberly, he didn't say what his purpose was. He seemed to be very concerned about Kimberly, but he obviously wasn't interested in a romantic way.

But what else could it be? Maybe it was because Kimberly was Sylvia's friend? Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

But then again, Quill had never cared so much about his own sister...

Juliette thought about how unreasonable the situation was.

Juliette had been thinking about it for a long time, but she still didn't know the answer. Perhaps... Kimberly could give her an answer.

"President Hanover?" Kimberly was a little surprised and asked, "Is he here?"

Juliette replied, "Yes, he is not feeling very well. He came to get a body check. I'm helping him collect the medicine."

"Oh." Kimberly then thought of something and said, "He works too hard. He should take care of himself." Juliette smiled slightly and said, "He will be very happy if he were to hear that from you."

"What?" Kimberly was stunned. She thought that she had misheard her.

Juliette shook her head, "Nothing, President Hanover is waiting outside. Why don't you come with me and greet him?"

Before Kimberly could react, Juliette held her hand and walked out. Kimberly was dumbfounded and could only follow her. They had already reached Quill's car when Kimberly finally realized what was happening.

Juliette knocked on the window. Quill's cold gaze fell on her as he rolled down the window.

"President Hanover, I met Miss Shell. I was thinking that we could give her a ride," Juliette said.

Right after Juliette explained herself, she could feel Quill's gaze on her. It was like he was scolding her for making a decision for him. Juliette bowed slightly and did not dare to speak.

Kimberly also felt the pressure. She looked at Juliette awkwardly and said in a low voice, "I just came to greet you. I still have something to attend to nearby. You don't have to give me a ride. Thank you. I'll leave first."

"Get in."

Just then, Kimberly suddenly heard Quill's voice, inviting her into his car. She halted and looked at him in surprise. She didn't know what he was planning.

He looked stern a moment ago, but he was inviting her into his car now. She had just given the excuse because she didn't want him to blame Juliette.

Juliette could read Quill's mind. She urged Kimberly with a faint smile, "Hurry up and get in the car, Miss Shell."

Juliette opened the car door for Kimberly. It took Kimberly a long time to react. Just as she was about to wave her hand and refuse, she heard Quill said, "Hurry up."

Juliette knew that Quill was getting angry, so she didn't dare to delay any longer and pushed Kimberly into the car.

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

The door closed with a bang.

"Drive," ordered Quill.

They then left the hospital. Kimberly, who was forced into the car was still stunned.

Was Quill actually giving her a ride?

She didn't know where they were going.

The air conditioner was blasting cold air into the car. Kimberly was wearing a sleeveless dress and instantly felt cold. She kept rubbing her arms to warm herself.

Quill's gaze fell on her face.

Kimberly felt nervous.

She found his gaze to be very stern. It was like a gaze from an older brother, giving her a sense of irritation.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze and said in an indifferent voice, "Increase the temperature."

The driver immediately followed his order. Juliette who was witnessing the scene at the side was surprised.

Quill had never cared for other people.

It had always been the other way round. It seemed that Kimberly was indeed an important person.

"Where are you going?" Quill suddenly asked. Kimberly was in a daze, but she immediately reacted when she heard him.

She was actually heading home, but she realized that they were heading away from the Yardley home, so she said, "I'll get off at the junction there."

Quill frowned and said a little displeasingly, "To the Yardley Corporation?"

Kimberly answered, "Yes."

She had no other choice.

Quill sneered and said, "You're dressing casually today. Now that you already got a lift, you might as well tell me the final destination."

Juliette added, "That's right, Miss Shell. It doesn't matter. President Hanover took a day off today as well."

Kimberly could only reply, "Well, please send me to the shopping mall at Auburn Street. I need to attend to something over there."

Juliette thought about it and said, "That area belongs to the Yardley Corporation, you..."

Quill gave Juliette a look and she immediately shut herself up. He then said, "Let's go to Auburn Street."

"Yes, President Hanover."

The driver complied and turned around immediately.

Kimberly said gratefully, "Thank you, President Hanover."

After a moment, Quill asked, "Are you close with Sylvia?"

Kimberly's expression softened a little bit when they talked about Sylvia. With this topic, only then did she feet more comfortable with Quill.

She answered, "Yes, we are good friends."

Quill narrowed his eyes slightly and asked again, "How close are you? Close enough to share secrets?"

Kimberly was slightly startled to hear this. She didn't know why Quill asked this. But on second thought, she thought that he might be caring for his sister. She nodded and said, "Yes, we are close enough to share secrets. I know that Sylvia had really suffered a lot before she went to the Hanover family."
