In the end, she really didn't know what to say. Minerva could only shut her mouth and put down her hand in annoyance.
"What happened that day... I'm really sorry. I really got the wrong person. You have to believe me, I certainly didn't covet you. I applied for the job of the assistant secretary because I was simply attracted to your company, so... I want to chere to study." "Oh." Maddox replied with a cold face, "Do you mean that I am not as attractive as the company?" She was puzzled.
"No, that's not what I mean. I just..." For the first time, she was flustered in front of Maddox and didn't know what to say. In a hurry, her delicate eyebrows frowned, and even her clear eyes were full of anxiety.
Maddox smiled when he saw how helpless she was.
Unexpectedly, this strange woman... was quite funny.
No, that wasn't right.
What was he doing? He quickly cto his senses. He squinted his eyes and sized up the woman in front of him.
Her eyes were clear and her behavior was a little strange. Why should he waste his twith this woman here? "Giveyour hand." She looked puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?" He said impatiently, "Why are you wasting so much ttalking? Just giveyour hand." Helplessly, she could only stretch out her hand.

He threw the keys into her palm. Minerva was shocked as she looked at the keys that had appeared in her palm. Only then did she recognize that they were the keys that she had brought. Why were the keys here? Did she drop them earlier? However, if she had lost her keys, why would Maddox give them to her? Upon thinking of this, Minerva instantly raised her head in surprise. Her clear eyes were filled with pleasant surprise as she asked, "You were waiting forhere to return the keys to me?" Maddox replied, "Who said that I was waiting for you here?" Minerva said, "No? Then why were you here when I came?" "Ha." He sneered at her and said, "I just wanted to see what tricks you have up your sleeves. Now, it seems that not only do you think too much, but you are also self-conscious." He said these words as if he had returned to five years ago...
Back when she had just married into the Yardley family, Maddox had just found out that she was a divorced woman and that it was a surrogate marriage. His attitude towards her had always been so vile. The Maddox of five years ago and now seemed to have overlapped with each other.
It turned out that... Five years had passed, but Maddox was still Maddox. His original temper had not changed at all, but... it had changed for her.
For a moment, Minerva looked at him with emotions in her eyes.
He saw the emotions in her eyes because they were close. He saw her looking at him emotionally and thought that she was moved because of the keys.
His face immediately turned cold, and his tone was a little disdainful.
"I advise you to get rid of those false ideas as soon as possible. You've got the keys, so you can leave now." After that, he turned around and left.
Minerva stood where she was, looking at his back as he left. She slowly lowered her head and looked at the keys. The keys seemed to have been held by him for a long time, as the heat from his warm palm had transferred to the keys...
Minerva lowered her head and rubbed her face against them.
That's great.
His body temperature... was real.
The news of Maddox's appearance at the Collins family did not spread back to Hidalgo.
However, the news of Minerva's sudden absence for leave shocked everyone in the company. Ever since she replaced Maddox as the vice president of Yardley Corporation, she had been so busy. The company's matters, as well as many of the contracts that had been withdrawn due to his incident, were all settled by her by working overtime.
She was never late even for one day, and she would always arrive at the company early.
But now, she asked for a leave.
Everyone was a bit surprised and guessed what she was going to do.
Quill and Juliette had done a very good job in keeping things secret, so they didn't let others know that she went abroad. They just said that she had been managing the company's affairs for more than a month in a row, and there was no news about Maddox. Thus, she was exhausted and needed a long tto rest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone thought to themselves that she had indeed made a lot of contributions to the company over the past few days. Maddox was not around and she was just a woman, and yet she had taken care of so many things. She did need more rest.
As for the date of return, it was uncertain.
Everyone sighed.
However, there was one person who knew the truth, and that was Albert, who had been taking good care of Minerva all this while.
When she joined the company, he had been supporting her the whole time. Later, he also helped her through a lot of hardships. Therefore, Quill and Juliette cto him and told him about this matter. When Albert knew that Maddox was still alive, he nearly burst into tears. He stroked his beard and said bitterly, "I knew this brat was lucky. He used to annoy me. How could he die so easily? Ah, Minerva, this girl is so lucky. She successfully waited for him all this while. Then... What's going on with that brat, Maddox? Since you've found him, why didn't you bring him back?" Juliette smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Clark, it's hard to explain this matter clearly, but it's a good thing that he is still alive. As for the other things, they're a bit complicated. Young Master Yardley... seems to have lost his memory. He can't remember anything about the past." Albert's eyes widened instantly. "What did you say? Has the brat lost his memory?" Thinking of something, he suddenly said, "Then Minerva, isn't she..." "Yes." Juliette nodded. "Miss Minerva stayed over there and said that she must bring Young Master Yardley back. Before she comes back with him, the company has many things to rely on for you, Mr. Clark, to deal with."
These words made Albert feel justified all of a sudden. He immediately patted his chest and dYo༥can nodded. "You can be rest assured NO about this matter. Since she has already made her decision, I will take good care of the company during this period of tand not let those who have evil thoughts have the opportunity to take advantage of it." Juliette was really amused when she saw him like this.
"Mr. Clark, you're interesting." Quill also pursed his lips and said with a faint smile, "No wonder Minerva always praised you in front of me, Mr. Clark. This time, Minerva also told us to tell you alone."
When Albert heard that he was the only one who knew about what happened to Maddox, his sense of mission becstronger, instantly. ve He was so moved that he almost cried on the spot. "Don't worry. I will never let her trust fail as long as she stays in the company in the future. Alas, the feeling of being trusted by others after living half of my life is really good." In the past, when Maddox was still in charge of the company, he would often object to Albert. However... Maddox would silently carry out his opinions. Both Maddox and Minerva trusted him so much. Albert was really moved.
