Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 30

The littlest hope that Kimberly had was utterly crushed by Maddox and his harsh words. Her face was pale as she clenched her fists

"I... I wasn't thinking about that."

"Really? Then why are you showing that tiny smile on your lips? Kimberly, I'm warning you, when we're in public, you are nothing more than just my assistant."

Kimberly bit her lower lip and did not speak.

"I helped you because I didn't want you to embarrass the Yardley family, do you understand?"

The previously gentle Maddox had now reverted to his arrogant self.

No wonder... he would suddenly change his temperament.

He even said that he would buy the whole shopping mall and give it to her. It turned out that he only cared about the Yardley family image.

She... was still secretly happy.

Now that Maddox had told her the truth, embarrassment filled her heart.

Sam, who was following behind them, heard their conversation. He was used to Maddox's coldness, but he never knew that Maddox cared about the Yardley family's reputation.

Otherwise, he would not have done the things the way he usually did.

However, these words were a bit too much for a girl to hear.

Obviously, Kimberly's mood had taken a turn for the worse and she slowed down. Sam went forward and asked, "Miss Shell, may I?"

Kimberly realized what was going on when she heard that. She shook her head and said, "No, It's fine."

She seemed to have thought of something. She then returned the contract she had been holding in her hand to Maddox.

Maddox raised his eyebrows and sneered. "Are you throwing a tantrum?"

Kimberly was a little confused. "What?"

When faced with his sarcastic eyes, Kimberly finally understood what he meant. She pursed her lips and suppressed her nervousness. Her watery eyes became emotionless once again as she said blandly, "I know you were just acting, but I still have to thank you. Now that the show is over, I'm returning the contract to you."

She didn't think that he would actually buy the entire mall for her.

Even if he really bought it and gave it to her, it didn't mean that she would accept it.

He had always treated her as a materialistic person. If she accepted it, then, in his eyes, her image as such a person would be set in stone.

"There's no reason to take back what I have given you." Kimberly's hand stopped moving. She pursed her lips and stubbornly replied, "I won't take anything that doesn't belong to me."

He choked for a moment, seemingly startled by her words. After a while, there was a hint of sarcasm in his deep eyes. He said coldly, "Oh?"

"I know that in your eyes, I am an unscrupulous woman. Since that is the case, you shouldn't give these things to me. Otherwise, wouldn't I have achieved my goal?"

"Woman, I don't believe that this is enough to satisfy you?"

Kimberly choked. She bit her lips and said angrily, "Of course not!"

The more she argued with him, the more sincere she looked. She seemed to be more genuine than those pretentious people, who pretended as if they weren't interested but were actually thinking differently deep down.

"Miss Shell, there's no reason for you to return the things that the Young Master had given you. You'd better keep them."

He saw that the two of them were in a stalemate. He had to interrupt them and say something.

Kimberly was angry. She didn't want others to look down on her. She clenched her fists and was about to say something.

"Did you think that I'm giving it to you for free? Were you thinking of not repaying that 300,000 dollars?"

Upon hearing what he said, Kimberly opened her mouth slightly. What did he mean? Just as Kimberly was about to ask more questions, they had already arrived at the car. She had no choice but to get into the car.

After getting into the car, her lips twitched again but Maddox had already closed his eyes.

"Miss Shell, please do not wake the Young Master up before we arrive at the destination," Sam, who was sitting in the passenger seat, kindly reminded her.

She was speechless. What strange habits he had!

Kimberly was a little helpless. The contract in her hand was a heavy burden. She looked at Maddox's knitted eyebrows and saw black spots under his narrow eyes.

"He didn't rest well, did he?" She thought.

She swallowed everything that she wanted to say and leaned to a side with the contract in her hand.

After traveling for a while, she suddenly felt sleepy. She leaned against the seat and slowly fell asleep.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, the car suddenly stopped.

She opened her eyes.

"Miss Shell, please."

Sam got out of the car and opened the door for her.

Kimberly looked at him blankly and turned around to look at Maddox.

"Miss Shell, please. There isn't much time left. We have only half an hour before we leave for the banquet." Kimberly finally understood what was going on. She bent down and got out of the car.

Sam took her to a store.

"Hey, a rare visitor!" A tall woman wearing fashionable clothes came up to Sam and looked behind him. "Where is Maddox?"

"The Young Master is resting. Crystal, this is your duty for today."

Sam pushed Kimberly towards Crystal.

Kimberly was a little flustered. "Who's this?"

Crystal narrowed her eyes and sized Kimberly up for a while. "Maddox's woman? When did he..."

"Crystal, we're going to attend a banquet in half an hour. She is just an assistant. Please hurry up." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Okay, come with me."

Kimberly did not dare to waste any time and she followed behind Crystal. Sam raised his hand and looked at the time again, hoping that Crystal could hurry.

Kimberly followed behind. After closing the door, she realised that it was a completely different world inside.

It was a very large cloakroom, and it was sparkling everywhere.

"Tie up your hair and take off all your clothes. Your shoes too."

Hearing this, Kimberly widened her eyes and said, "But I had just put on this dress."

Crystal looked back at her and smiled for a while. "This dress may be very suitable for you, but it's not suitable for tonight. An assistant should look more professional."

It was not until this moment that Kimberly came to her senses.

"I understand."

Then, she hid at the corner and took off all her clothes. Crystal inadvertently turned her gaze to look at Kimberly. When their eyes met, Kimberly's face flushed immediately and she did not dare to move.

"Huh?"

"Where did Maddox find such an interesting woman?"

"How pure was this woman? She actually blushed from just changing clothes."

After tidying up for a while, Crystal handed Kimberly a set of white suit.

"Put this on."

"Oh, okay." Kimberly quickly reached out to take it, and then turned around to change her clothes.

Crystal stared at her back for a while. Then, she suddenly raised her lips and asked, "Are you Maddox's girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Kimberly paused for a moment. She bit her lower lip and shook her head.

"No? Then is he pursuing you?"

Kimberly frowned slightly and was about to explain her relationship with Maddox. "It's okay. You don't need to say anything. It's just that this is the first time Maddox has brought a girl to me."

"Crystal, you misunderstood. I'm just his assistant."
