Chapter 72
Chapter 72
Soon, they arrived at the appointed place. Sam Sorrento opened the door. He felt a pang of relief after getting out of the car.
He wiped his sweat lightly and turned back to look at the two people in the car.
Just then, Kimberly Shell stood up expressionlessly and pushed the cold-faced Maddox Yardley out of the car.
These two people... Sam suddenly felt that they were really born to be a couple.
Usually, when he drove Maddox, Maddox's aura was already cold. He thought that Kimberly could make the atmosphere in the car more lively. Who on earth would have expected that... her depressed mood was comparable to Maddox's cold aura.
They were a perfect match. One was dispirited, while the other was cold.
Sylvia Handover and Benedict Yardley had already parked their cars. They came over and saw Kimberly pushing Maddox out of the car. Sylvia saw that Kimberly did not look too well, so she walked to her with concern. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"Kimberly, you don't look well. Are you not feeling well?" Sylvia asked.
Hearing this, Kimberly forced a smile and whispered, "I'm fine."
"That's good to hear. I'll help you." Sylvia replied. Before Kimberly could react, Sylvia stepped forward and held the wheelchair. Kimberly was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously loosened her grip on the wheelchair.
She stood still and stared blankly as Sylvia pushing Maddox into the room. Her mind was not functioning and she couldn't react at all.
Sam, who was standing beside her, widened his eyes in surprise when he saw this.
What was going on? Assistant Shell's friend... seemed to be little too enthusiastic. Sam glanced at Kimberly and whispered, "Assistant Shell, aren't you going after her?"
When Kimberly heard this, she came back to her senses.
"Go after her? Why should I? Maddox doesn't like her anyway. What's the point of me going after her?" she thought.
No, she should not be thinking this way. She should go after her so that Sylvia wouldn't be afflicted by Maddox.
Thinking of this, Kimberly quickly stepped forward and followed after them.
Sam crossed his arms, staring at Kimberly's back while shaking his head. This woman seemed to be quite thoughtless. She just stood there and did nothing even though her husband was being pushed away by another woman.
He didn't know whether she was stupid or innocent, or that she was just a little slow to react.
"Assistant Sorrento, what are you doing here? Let's go in together." said Benedict.
Sam nodded, but he stepped back and said, "No, I will be waiting for all of you here. I still have some matters to attend to."
He was not stupid. The atmosphere around these four people was strange. He would only be bringing trouble on himself if he went in with them.
He'd rather get some fresh air out here.
Benedict smiled at him for a while, as if he could see through what was on his mind. He did not say anything, but turned around and went into the restaurant.
Probably because it was still early, there were not too many people in the restaurant. Sylvia was a frequent visitor here, so the lady boss came up to say hello to her.
"Sylvia, why did you come so early today? Who is this man? Is he your boyfriend?"
Kimberly, who was chasing after them, subconsciously stopped after hearing the lady boss' question. She stood not far away to look at them.
Sylvia's beautiful fair face immediately turned red. She said with a playful smile, "Lady boss, don't talk nonsense. He's not my boyfriend."
The lady boss was a sharp-eyed person. When she saw the shyness in her eyes, she smirked and continued to tease,
"He's not your boyfriend now, but it does not mean that he would not be yours in the future."
Kimberly clenched her fists reflexively. How could she say such things?
She suddenly stepped forward and stood beside Sylvia, looking coldly at the lady boss who was joking with Sylvia. She reprimanded coldly, "Didn't Sylvia say that he's not her boyfriend? What are your intentions for speculating their relationship?"
No one expected Kimberly to be angry.
Including Maddox. He deliberately held back from clarifying his relationship with Sylvia because he wanted Kimberly to witness the scene clearly. Who knew that she would get angry out of the blue and rush forward to reprimand the lady boss?
The lady boss was also stunned. She didn't anticipate this. Her gaze fell on Kimberly and she looked at her from top to bottom. At the end, her gaze fell on Kimberly's hand on the wheelchair. She then looked at Sylvia, whose face had turned pale.
The lady boss was not a fool. She immediately realized what was going on. She quickly apologized with a polite smile, "Miss, I'm really sorry. I meant no harm. Miss Hanover is a frequent visitor here and a close friend of mine, so my jokes may have crossed the line. I hope you don't take it to heart."
Sylvia, whose face had turned pale, also reacted at this time. She forced a smile on her face and told Kimberly, "Yes, Kimberly, the lady boss usually jokes with me. Do you remember Matthew Lewis? Last time when I came here to have a meal with that guy, she asked if Matthew was my boyfriend. Ha, ha, ha, ha, that was so funny... Kimberly, please don't mind her, she was just talking nonsense."
Kimberly still couldn't let it go. After all, she did not want Sylvia to have anything to do with Maddox.
What Maddox said last night really frightened Kimberly!
Although Sylvia had explained and apologized on behalf of the lady boss, Kimberly was still in a bad mood so she remained silent.
"It's just a joke. Don't take it so seriously.1' At this moment, Maddox said.
Everyone looked at Maddox. He tilted his head slightly and glared at Kimberly with the corner of his eyes. Kimberly was stupefied. Her grip on the wheelchair instinctively became tighter as she bit her lower lip.
Sylvia's eyes widened at the sight of this.
"That's right. It's just a joke. Let's sit inside!" the lady boss said. She felt that this man was not to be trifled with, so she didn't dare to say anything more. She could only ask them to go inside so as not
to affect the business here.
Kimberly had no choice but to go inside with everyone else.
Maddox had already said that it didn't matter. If she continued to argue, it would make her look like a shrew.
Kimberly sat down quietly on her seat. She didn't even have the mood to order food. Maddox, on the other hand, sat there without any expression on his face while Sylvia explained the house specialties to the Yardleys. Benedict would reply her courteously from time to time. The atmosphere was really depressing. Kimberly stood up and said, "Please excuse me. I'm going to the washroom."
She got up and walked outside.
Sylvia stopped talking and looked at her. The smile on her face gradually disappeared.
She seemed to have thought of something and immediately got up. "Kimberly, wait for me, I'll go with you."
Kimberly stopped at the door and turned her head back to look at her.
Sylvia stepped forward and took her hand intimately. They walked towards the washroom together.
"Kimberly, are you still blaming me for what had happened just now? The lady boss really meant no harm. I just explained it to you. You believe me, don't you?"
Kimberly looked pensive for a moment. After listening to Sylvia's explanation, she stopped walking and then looked up at her.
"Sylvia, could you... stay away from Maddox?"
