Chapter 45
Kimberly Shell rushed out of the room quickly without even wearing her shoes. She found the maid and greeted, "Hello."
She had always been a little timid whenever she talked to the maids of the Yardley family because she knew that they looked down on her. Kimberly did not know if she could get the button back.
Kimberly, who was already prepared to get mocked by the maid, didn't expect her face to change when she saw her. The maid took a step back and greeted her respectfully, "Second Young Madam."
Kimberly was stunned. "What's going on?" she wondered.
"Second Young Madam, are you looking for me?".
Kimberly paused for a moment and then nodded. Although she didn't understand the reason for their sudden change of attitude, that was not the most important thing at the moment. The most important thing was to get the button back.
Thinking of this, Kimberly asked, "I saw that you were cleaning the room earlier. Did you happen to see a button?"
Hearing this, the maid suddenly realized, "Is Second Young Madam looking for the golden button? I thought it was the Second Young Master's."
"It's not!" Kimberly responded fiercely, "It's mine. Where's the button?" "Uh..." The maid's expression changed slightly. She opened her lips and said, "I'm sorry, Second Young Madam. I thought that button belonged to Second Young Master, so... I asked Rainie to help me ask."
Hearing this, Kimberly's heart almost jumped out of her throat. Her expression immediately became ugly. "Hasn't Maddox come back yet? How are you guys going to ask?"
"Second Young Madam, my shift will be ending soon and Rainie will be on duty tonight. Thus, I handed the button to her and told her to ask the Second Young Master about it when he comes back at night. Second Young Madam, if the button is yours, I will get it back for you."

Kimberly was very annoyed. She was really worried that the maid would take the button to Maddox directly, hence she decided to look for her so that she could be at ease.
"There's no need for that. Just tell me where Rainie is. I'll look for her."
Catching sight of her serious look, the maid said cautiously, "I'll take you to her."
"Okay."
As the maid led her downstairs, Kimberly was informed that Rainie had gone out.
When she heard that Rainie had gone out, Kimberly's expression became uglier. The maid said in a trembling voice, "Second, Second Young Madam, I'm really sorry! I didn't know the button is yours. If I knew it was yours, I would definitely give it back to you. I would never have handed it over to Rainie!" "You walked past me earlier. I share a room with him, but you didn't give me the button. Instead, you gave it to..." Kimberly was indeed angry. The maid knew that she lived there. Couldn't she just give her the button instead?
Kimberly really couldn't help but get angry.
"Second Young Madam, it seemed that it came from a man's clothes, and... it was found under the Second Young Master's bed. I subconsciously thought it was the Second Young Master's."
Hearing this, Kimberly's eyelids twitched. Yes, she almost forgot that it was a male shirt's button. She might get exposed if she was too nervous. Thinking of this, Kimberly suppressed her surging rage and whispered, "The button came from my father's suit. It's really important to me. Could you help me contact Rainie and ask her to come back?"
The maid nodded and said, "Certainly, Second Young Madam, I'll contact her immediately."
After that, she went to make a phone call, leaving Kimberly standing at where she was.
Although she was still very anxious in her heart, she did not dare to show it out.
After waiting for nearly two minutes, the maid finished the call and came back. "Rainie went out to buy something. You should have a rest, Second Young Madam. She will be back in about an hour. I will ask her to send it to you then."
An hour? Maddox would be back by then. Also, wouldn't he find out if Rainie sent the button to her? Kimberly thought for a moment and asked softly, "Um... did she take the button with her?" "Yes."
D*mn it.
"Second Young Madam, I understand your feeling now. I'll wait for her to return. Once Rainie comes back, I'll get the button from her and send it to you in person, will that be okay?"
There was no other way. Kimberly bit her lower lip and nodded. "I will come to you in an hour."
After returning to the room, Kimberly immediately sent a message to Sylvia. Sylvia immediately called to ask about the whole story. She scolded her, "You are really stupid. The two maids are from the Yardley family. If you behave so abnormally, they will definitely suspect you."
Kimberly bit her lower lip. "I was a little flustered at first. That's why I couldn't calm down!"
"What are you panicking about? Anyway, you are the Second Young Madam of the Yardley family. If you scold them, they dare not do anything to you. If you act strangely, people will only suspect you."
Sylvia sighed over the phone. "Let's plan for the worst, I must get the button before the maid comes back. Tell me everything that you know in detail."
Kimberly said, "Is that possible? I don't know much about it."
"Don't look down on the Hanover family. My brother's competence is not to be trifled with. Wait for my news."
After hanging up the phone, Kimberly held her mobile phone and sat in a daze on the bed.
After a while, Maddox had come home, and Sam was pushing him from behind. Kimberly stood up immediately as soon as she saw Maddox, and looked at him anxiously.
Kimberly could be seen through easily, her thoughts were often plastered all over her face.
Maddox knew her personality after getting along with her for some time. When he saw her standing up and staring at him nervously while holding her phone tightly in her hand, he knew that she was up to no good.
Maddox's eyes moved slightly. "Sam, you can leave now."
Sam Sorrento paused for a moment, then looked at Kimberly and said, "I'll be going then. Please call me if you need anything."
Kimberly was always terrified of being alone with Maddox in the room. Facing Maddox's cold and scary eyes, she always didn't know what to do and where to put her hands.
Her mobile phone vibrated. A message had come in, but Kimberly just stood there and didn't move.
Maddox turned the wheelchair and slowly approached her.
Kimberly tightened her grip and her eyes instinctively widened.
As Maddox approached her, Kimberly took two steps back and ended up sitting on the bed.
"Why do you look so guilty? What have you done?"
"No, I didn't." Kimberly shook her head. "You must be tired after work, right? I'll get you some water." Kimberly got up and was about to walk past him, but she was stopped by Maddox.
"What did you do when you left the company in the morning? It's still not too late to confess now."
Hearing what he said, Kimberly stopped and looked at Maddox who was sitting in the wheelchair.
It turned out that he was suspicious about this matter.
If... she used this matter as a cover-up, could she...
