Maddox stared at her, his eyes as fierce as a beast.
Kimberly shrank back and bit her lip, repeating, "I won't change it!" He asked, "Do you want to dress up like a pr*stitute tonight?" Kimberly straightened her posture and raised her chin slightly, revealing her long, white neck. She said, "Everyone is dressed like this. Why am I the pr*stitute? Because in your eyes, I am that kind of woman, so you don't like whatever I wear. If that's the case, why should I care about your thoughts?" Maddox frowned.
After saying that, Kimberly immediately pulled away her shawl, revealing her white shoulders. Then, she turned around and left. search the Find_Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Sam was speechless. He thought that Kimberly was playing with the fire, and she would burn herself up! The air around Maddox suddenly becfrigid and his hands clenched into fists.
His eyes turned gloomy as he looked at her petite figure walking away. Sam stammered behind him, "Do you want to go after Mrs. Yardley?" "Who allowed you to call her that?" snapped Maddox.
Sam swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously and stuttered, "Did I say something wrong?" He had called Kimberly 'Mrs. Yardley1 in front of Maddox before. He wasn't angry then, but now... "She's not my wife. She's just a sl*t, a shameless woman." Speaking of this, Maddox's thin lips curled up evilly and he added, "Since she wants to show off, then let her show off!" Sam kept quiet.
He thought to himself, "I'm just afraid that later, when everyone really lay their eyes on Kimberly, you will dig their eyes out!" However, Sam didn't dare to speak his mind and he kept his thoughts to himself. Maddox couldn't know what he was thinking.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKimberly returned to her seat and sat down. Vera cover to her.
She asked, "Why were you in the washroom for so long? You didn't pick up your phone." Phone? Thinking of this, Kimberly took out her mobile phone from her bag and clicked on it, only to find that her phone was switched off.
Oh no! A sudden realization dawned on her, she had forgotten about something very important! Quill had asked Juliette to bring her a dress on this day, but if her mobile phone was switched off, then Juliette couldn't get in touch with her...
At this thought, Kimberly asked in a hurry, "Does anyone has a power bank and a cable? My phone ran out of battery." Vera blinked and said, "It's a banquet. Who would bring those things here?" "I did." Sylvia put her bag on the table and took out her cable and power bank, saying, "Here you go." "Thank you, Sylvia." Kimberly quickly charged her mobile phone and turned it on.
Fortunately, her mobile phone was charged quite quickly. After she switched her phone on, she discovered the avalanche of missed calls and text messages waiting for her.
In addition to Vera's call, the others were all from Juliette.
Sylvia sat next to her and inadvertently looked at her. She then saw a familiar non the screen and was stunned, asking, "Juliette? Isn't that my brother's secretary?" Kimberly paused for a moment and nodded, "Yes." Sylvia's heart skipped a beat and she inquired, "Why does Secretary Sharwant to see you? She had called you so many times." Kimberly thought of Quill telling Juliette to send her a dress. She decided not to tell Sylvia about it. So, she explained, "Maybe she had to tellsomething about work." "Oh." Hearing that it was about work, Sylvia remembered their cooperation. She then let out a sigh of relief and said, "I see." Kimberly said, "Well, I'll call her back." She got up from her seat and walked out with the power bank. Then, she called Juliette back. "Miss Shell," answered Juliette.
Kimberly quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Secretary Sharpio... My phone ran out of battery." Then, she heard Secretary Sharpio's laughter from the other end. "It doesn't matter. I wanted to send the dress to the company, but I saw that you already had a gown, so I stopped contacting you." Kimberly replied, "Please convey my gratitude to President Hanover for his kindness towards me." "You're welcome," said Juliette.
Kimberly then said, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first." After Kimberly hung up the phone call, Sylvia cover and said, "What were you talking about? Why do you have to thank Quill?" Sylvia had suddenly appeared behind Kimberly. Kimberly was startled by Sylvia and she covered her chest with her hands.
She scolded, "Sylvia, you scaredto death." Sylvia smiled, but her smile was not sincere, "Why did you tell Secretary Sharto thank Quill for his kindness? Are you... trying to discuss something with Quill behind my back?" After hearing what she said, Kimberly frowned slightly.
What was there for Quill and herself to discuss about? She didn't want to tell Sylvia about it because she didn't think it was appropriate.
Anyway, Kimberly did not receive the gown. Since it did not happen, there was no need to talk about it. However, Sylvia was her best friend and Quill was her brother. Would it be bad if Kimberly did not tell her about it? Just as she was thinking about it, Vera walked over.
Vera ushered them, "What are you two doing? It's a banquet. Stop whispering. Let's go. Let's go to the swimming pool and have a look." After that, she pulled both of them with her, not waiting for them to respond.
Kimberly's and Sylvia's conversation was interrupted. Sylvia felt a little unhappy. Maybe it was because she felt guilty, so she always had a bad feeling about Kimberly doing something behind her back.
The swimming pool was sparkling under the light and the water was calm and clear. There was a piano not far away, and a girl in a white dress played the piano. The men and women were talking and laughing with each other around the pool. The atmosphere of the banquet was very good.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as Vera arrived at the swimming pool, she said, "Let's stay here. There will be a good show later." A good show? Kimberly and Sylvia were both confused.
Vera explained, "One of you is not from our company and the other is m new. No wonder it doesn' n't make vel sense to you. Every year at the banquet, Vice President Yardley and the other young masters have a swimming competition." Kimberly was a little confused and asked, "Is that a good show?"
"Of course!" Vera grabbed her hand excitedly and exclaimed, "Vice President Yardley has a sexy figure! There will be other rich young masters from other companies as well. All of them are good-looking and have nice bodies. Isn't that a feast for your eyes?" Kimberly didn't know what to say.
Sylvia was also speechless.
After a while, Sylvia held her chin and asked, "Will Maddox join too?" "What?" Vera widened her eyes and rolled them at Sylvia, scoffing. "You purposely asked this question, right?" "Huh?" asked Sylvia dumbly.
Vera said, "Everyone knows that Young Master Yardley is wheelchair- bound. How can he compete?" Sylvia suddenly recalled that Maddox was crippled.
Most of the time, Sylvia would forget the fact that he was disabled, probably because his presence was so strong.
Kimberly thought of the quarrel that had happened in the corridor of the bathroom earlier when she heard Maddox's name. Their relationship was terrible. She wondered if after tonight... would Maddox hate her even more? X
