Prior to what Geoffrey had said, Maddox understood that he could take care of a small matter like his engagement with Monica. Hence, he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
After the engagement issue was solved, everything would go back to normal. Everyone would live normally and do what they had to do.
However, after hearing what Geoffrey said, Maddox felt that his plan had been disrupted before it could be commenced.
It was just like a Gomoku chess game. He had clearly laid out the strategy in the gwell. However, an aggressive animal had call of a sudden and knocked down his chess. Now, all his efforts were in vain. Thinking of this, Maddox's aura suddenly turned cold. He looked at Geoffrey as if he was looking at a dead man. The gloomy and cold aura Maddox emitted made Geoffrey take two steps back unconsciously, he coughed to defend himself.
"Collins, I really can't be blamed for this. You didn't tellanything, did you? Also, When I called your assistant, she didn't answer the phone and I almost blew up her phone with many calls I made. I thought she was angry because she knew about this..." Maddox's tone sounded gloomy.
"Who told you to poke your nose into other people's business? You really have nothing to do?" Geoffrey took a few more steps back. "No, I'm really busy, I'm just doing it out of convenience. Well, since I've already told you about it, I'll excuse myself first." After saying that, Geoffrey turned around and ran away, without looking at Maddox's reaction.
After running for a long time, Geoffrey looked back with his hand covering his chest. When he saw Maddox walking towards the garage, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He hoped that he did not screw things up this time. If they could not be together because of him, he would have to offer his life as an apology.
After wandering around the streets for a long time, Minerva realized that it was late and finally realized that she had to go home.
So she flagged down a taxi and went straight to her hentrance. After paying the fare, she got off and was ready to take out her keys when a cold masculine voice sounded from the darkness on her left.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Where did you go?" The cold voice suddenly rang out, causing Minerva to jump in shock. She let out a cry of alarm and the keys in her hand also fell to the ground.
She was already thinking about something, and there was not much light. Besides that, the taxi left right away after she got off.
Minerva turned to look at the source of the voice.
In the darkness, a small flwas dancing. If she didn't mishear the familiar voice just now, it should be Maddox...
When she thought of Maddox, Minerva recalled immediately that he had gone to discuss his engagement.
Having been in a state of dejection for an entire night, Minerva had enough of this feeling. She forced herself to calm down and bent down to look for the keys that she had just dropped. However, his pair of hands acted faster and picked up her key.
"Why don't you answer me?" Minerva remained silent.
Under the faint moonlight, she reached out for the keys in his hand and said, "Thank you, I went out for dinner with my friend." She took the key and unconsciously brushed his palm with her soft fingers.
In that instant, Maddox did not know what was going on. He wanted to grab her hand and have her stay back. However, just as he was in a daze, Minerva took the keys back and opened the door.
Maddox watched silently as she did all this. He put out the cigarette in his hand and followed her in.
After taking a few steps, Minerva realised that he was following her, hence she stopped.
"You?" "It is too dark. I'll see you upstairs." Minerva went speechless.
She actually wanted to ask him, why did he chere to see her at such a late time? Wasn't he going to discuss his engagement? Wasn't it ironic for him to be with her right after the discussion? In the end, she still swallowed these words and silently walked forward.
Before long, they arrived in front of the house. Minerva looked at him. "Well, I'm here." In the dark, Maddox's eyes seemed to be brighter than the moonlight. He stared at her silently and stated, "Won't you invitein for a glass of water?" Minerva continued to be silent.
He had actually taken the initiative to make this request.
Minerva remembered what he had done before coming here that night. She bit her lower lip and rejected him, "It's too late. It's not convenient." "Ha." Maddox laughed softly. He took a step forward and approached her, and his mouth blew hot breath onto her neck.
"Why don't you tell me, how is it inconvenient?" When he spoke, his breath unconsciously brushed across her neck. It was itchy, thus Minerva quickly took two steps back to avoid it.
It seemed that Maddox wanted to step forward. She opened the door in a fluster, walked in and turned on the light. "Sit down, please. I'll get you a glass of water." Maddox followed behind her and entered the house. Then, he closed the door behind him and thought about how to explain to her what happened just now.
If he initiated the explanation, wouldn't it create a misunderstanding? Or, maybe he could explain it to her after she asked about it? Well, this method was feasible.
After Minerva poured Maddox a glass of water, the two of them becquiet again. It was also very late in the night, and dead silence surrounded them.
Maddox picked up the glass and took a sip of water, waiting for Minerva's question. However, even after he finished all the water in his cup, she remained extremely quiet. Soon, the water reached the bottom of the glass. Minerva raised her head and reminded him in a weak tone, "The water's finished, President." Maddox was speechless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFeeling a bit irritated, he pulled the tie on his chest and blurted out, "I'm still very thirsty." "Oh." Minerva could only nod. "Then I'll get you another glass." She picked up the glass and went back to the kitchen to fill it with water again. Her movements were slow.
Maddox watched as she placed the glass of warm water in front of him.
him.
This time, Maddox Wid not drink it slowly again. He was annoyed, so he picked it up and took a few big gulps. The water gurgles down his throat. After that, he looked up and saw Minerva sitting there. She lowered her eyelids quietly, and there seemed to be no vitality or anger around her.
Seeing her like this, Maddox felt even more irritated. He suddenly slammed the glass on the table with a loud thud.
Minerva, who had been sitting quietly the entire time, looked up at him as if she was shocked. However, she quickly retracted her gaze.
"You, do you have any questions to ask me?" Finally, Maddox could not help asking.
Minerva, who had been sitting quietly, finally had a slight reaction. Her lips parted as if she had something to say, but then she shook her head after thinking for a while. "There's nothing I want to ask. It's getting late. Don't you need to go back?" Maddox laughed after hearing she stated that. She looked up again and saw him staring at her with mocking eyes.
Such an expression being displayed in his eyes caused Minerva to be angry.
He was the one who was went for his engagement discussion, yet he didn't say it himself, and he even wanted her to ask him about it first? What should she ask? In what identity should she question him? $3 X
