Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 58

"I could write up a contract if you don't believe me. When I leave your place, I will slowly return the money to you!" Kimberly Shell said when she saw him looking at her in distrust. She stepped forward anxiously.

"Stop right there."

Kimberly stopped in her track and looked at him at a loss.

"Step back."

Kimberly didn't know why but since it was Maddox's orders, she could only turn around.

And then?

"Get out."

What the hell? Wasn't the matter not solved yet? But in the company, he was her boss. Kimberly could only listen to him and leave the office.

Back at her own desk, Kimberly suddenly remembered Chandler Lovis, who was beaten up at the cafe that day. Maddox Yardley had said that he wanted to break his legs, but she didn't know... whether it was true or not.

"I hope that it's not true."

After turning on her laptop, Kimberly was ready to work. However, in less than two minutes, she was so sleepy that she started to doze off.

"No!" Kimberly held her head up. She was an assistant, and she had to work hard. She tried hard to keep herself awake. Kimberly held the documents for a long time, and finally banged her head on

the hard table.

Boom!

Kimberly suddenly woke up after hitting her own forehead on the table.

It was so painful...

She couldn't continue reading the document anymore, so Kimberly put it down and got up to make herself a cup of coffee.

When she came back after brewing herself some coffee, she saw a familiar figure coming out of the elevator.

"Sister Kimberly."

It was Maddox's brother, Benedict Yardley.

"Hello, Vice President Yardley." Kimberly quickly greeted him. She knew her own place, so she called him Vice President Yardley whenever they were in the company.

Benedict walked towards her. He was wearing a white shirt, and he looked like a charming gentleman.

"You don't have to be so polite. We are family. Is Maddox here?"

Kimberly nodded. "He is in his office."

"Mmm." Before Benedict left, he glanced at Kimberly and smiled in a low voice. "Sister Kimberly, don't drink so much next time, okay? It's not good for your health." Hearing this, Kimberly was a little surprised. "Vice President Yardley?"

How did he know that she drank? Could it be that she still reeked of alcohol?

"Last night, when you and Maddox came back, I happened to meet you both." Benedict put his hand on her head and gently stroked her head. "Really, don't drink too much. It's not good for your stomach and skin."

Benedict said and went to the office to look for Maddox. Kimberly was stunned, and she reached out to touch her hair after a long time...

Did...Benedict just stroked her hair?"

Benedict was really a very gentle and kind man. His gentleness could be seen in his eyes and soft voice. Furthermore he was a really handsome man...

Kimberly suddenly reached out and patted her own head!

What was she thinking about?

"How could I think about these things?" Kimberly came to her senses and sat down.

Benedict entered the office and didn't come out for a long time. She didn't know why Benedict was looking for Maddox. Kimberly faintly had an ominous premonition and felt that something was going to happen.

Ten minutes later, the elevator doors opened again. This time, several people came out of the elevator. Kimberly looked at them and understood where her unknown premonition came from.

It was not someone else who had come, but Old Master Yardley himself. He was the one who had ordered her to look for Chandler Lovis.

He was followed by another old man who was around his age. It seemed that he was trying to stop the angry Old Master.

Seeing this, Kimberly thought of something and suddenly turned towards the office. This time, she didn't knock on the door but directly pushed the door of the office open. Her rude actions caught the attention of the two men in the office.

For a moment, both of them looked at her.

"Kimberly? What is it..."

"Old... Old Master Yardley is here!" Kimberly looked at Maddox and bit her lower lip.

Maddox's expression did not change. He remained calm as usual. However, Benedict frowned slightly and sighed helplessly. "Why did Grandpa come so suddenly? Maddox, I'm not trying to lecture you but, if you have gone with me to see Grandpa, he wouldn't have to..."

Boom!

Before he could finish his words, the door of the office was pushed open. Old Master Yardley came in with two old men beside him.

"How arrogant are you! Why do you have to let me, an old man, come to you in person? Maddox Yardley, do you have the consciousness of being a child?!" His hoarse voice was full of anger.

Kimberly's face changed, and she quickly stepped aside.

Maddox's eyes were cold and empty, and his voice was emotionless.

"Grandpa, we are two generations apart, I'm not your child." After he said that, his lips curled, and a wicked grin appeared on his face.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

It was obvious that he was deliberately taunting the Old Master.

"You!" Old Master Yardley was so angry that his eyes widened. "You brat, do you even acknowledge me as your grandfather?"

"What's the matter?" Maddox smiled again. "If there's nothing else, I won't see you off."

"Maddox, you should respect your elders. You're being too disrespectful."

"Uncle Mason? You'd rather come to my office to teach me how to treat the elders instead of working at your station?"

"You!"

"Maddox Yardley, we are still all your elders. We won't care if you don't respect us. But aren't you too rude to the Old Master?"

"Respect?" Maddox sneered and said, "No one has taught me what respect is since I was a child."

Old Master Yardley paused and said angrily, "Are you still blaming me for it?"

Maddox didn't say anything. Kimberly looked at them, as if she had caught some important information from Maddox's words.

He said that no one had taught him what respect was since he was a child. What could that mean?

Could it be...? While Kimberly was cracking her head, Old Master Yardley suddenly snorted and walked to the sofa to sit down. "You don't have anyone to teach you so you are impolite and ill- mannered, this I will not blame you. But you shouldn't be messing around. What's going on with you and Lovis Enterprises?"

Maddox didn't say anything.

Kimberly quietly glanced at Maddox and found that his eyes were drooping. His eyes were dark and as deep as the sea, as if there were some emotions surging in it.

"I had already agreed to collaborate with Lovis Enterprises. Why did it suddenly change? And even if you had changed your decision, why did you hit their people? Do you know how much trouble it would bring to Yardley Corporation?"

"Grandpa." Maddox suddenly called him seriously.

Old Master Yardley stopped and stared at him, as if he was waiting for his explanation.

Maddox raised his eyes slightly and said with an evil look, "If I remember correctly, I'm the President of Yardley Corporation. Isn't it up to me to decide about the collaboration?"

"Even if it's your decision, you still ought to at least give a reason, don't you? If you couldn't explain, then I have the right to suspend your position!"

"Ha." Maddox sneered and said, "Then you'd better give it a try."

"You!" Old Master Yardley stood up in anger and pointed at Maddox with his trembling fingers. "Is this your attitude toward your elders?!" Kimberly was shocked when she heard this. It was partly her fault, but why didn't Maddox... say anything about it?
