Minerva returned hwith the fruits in her hand. Just as she was about to take off her shoes, she bumped into Vera.

"Where did you go so late at night?" Minerva's lips trembled. She swung the bag in her hand nonchalantly. "I went downstairs to buy sfruits." Receiving her answer, Vera turned to look at the clock. "If I recall correctly, you left the house 50 minutes ago? When you went downstairs to buy fruits, did you also take a stroll around?" It was obvious that she was implying something else. The way Vera was looking at her said it all.

Minerva could not find the words to reply to her.

Wasn't Vera just trying to tease her? Minerva placed the fruits in the kitchen. "That's right. Because I was too full, I had to go down and take a stroll. Although I went out for quite stime, it's still much better than hiding upstairs. Am I right?" Vera's teasing smile vanished instantly.

"Right?" Minerva asked, blinking innocently. Then, she burst into laughter.

However, Vera couldn't laugh. She pouted and snorted, "Will you die if you stop teasing me? Why must you bring that up again?" "The scould be said to you." After that, Vera sat on the sofa. She clutched a pillow in her hand as she scowled sullenly.

"There's a reason why I avoid coming downstairs. My Prince Charming is so excellent. It's only natural that I'm afraid to be around him." Minerva walked up to her to take a seat beside her. "Yes, that's your opinion." She also clutched a pillow in her hands. When Minerva thought of what the little nurse had told her, her chest felt a little heavy.

"Hey, didn't you take care of him? Don't you know that he has been discharged from the hospital?" Although Minerva often took care of Maddox, she hadn't gone to visit in a while. Wasn't it normal that she wasn't aware? "You went to the hospital to see Maddox again?" Vera asked from her left. Minerva nodded subconsciously before shaking her head. "He has been discharged from the hospital." "He's been discharged? Hmm..." Vera suddenly felt a little confused. "Then why did you go to the hospital to see him? Are you too full?" "I didn't know until I got there." "Well, it seems that you were kept in the dark," commented Vera. "He's quite mean. You took care of him for so long, yet he didn't even say a word when he left the hospital?" Minerva did not say anything.

As she was silent, it only fueled Vera's curiosity. "Please don't tellhe didn't even send you a message." Minerva, who had been silent for a long time, finally raised her head to look at her. Then, she smiled and said, "I haven't gone to the hospital to look after him this week. Isn't it normal that he doesn't tellthat he's been discharged?" "Well, it's getting late. Go to bed early." After saying that, Minerva stood up and walked upstairs. Obviously, she didn't want to continue the topic.

Vera watched her back and felt a little gloomy. She muttered to herself, "How is that normal? If he cares about you very much, why didn't he say a word? Didn't he just make you run around for nothing?" Although Vera spoke in a small voice, it was very quiet in the house. Therefore, Minerva heard all her words.

Her steps paused for a brief moment but she continued to march forward with her lips tightly pursed. Perhaps, he really did not care that much.

The days went by as usual. After two to three days, it was as if Maddox had really vanished from her life.

However, his nwas still on the list of Minerva's clients.

Because he had never made a request yet he had previously ordered from Minerva, hence, she still had no way to proceed to the next step.

Minerva thought to herself that after all. Since Maddox was her client, she should initiate contact.

However, due to the recent events, Minerva felt that perhaps Maddox was already frustrated with her. He might have made a deal with her because of their past relationship, but what about now? Perhaps it would be better to entrust the order to someone else? Thinking of that, Minerva thought of Helen's dress, which had been Kelly's project. Since things had gone awry previously, she wanted to give Kelly another chance. Therefore, the current situation would grant her the perfect opportunity.

When Kelly received the news, she felt as if luck fell right into her lap.

No, she was in disbelief.

It took a long tbefore she cto her senses. Then, she tugged on Minerva's sleeve and asked weakly, "You... Are you really going to givethis opportunity?" Minerva nodded. "Yes, but it depends on you. Are you willing?" "Frankly, I'm very happy that you are willing to givesuch a chance. However, I know what happened between you and Young Master Yardley. Therefore, it's not ideal that you pass the project to me. Even if I am willing to accept it, he might not be willing to lettake charge. Therefore, I think it's better that you take the order." Minerva was stunned. She had brought Kelly to the press conference.

Therefore, Kelly was aware of the events that had transpired at the press conference.

It was indeed a bit of a dilemma to give Kelly the order.

"If you really don't have any other way, then I can do it for you. However, I may not be able to handle it. Before this, you were willing to hand over Helen's order and taketo the press conference, which really touched me. So, let's treat this as my repayment of your kindness!" Minerva's lips quivered. "You don't have to think that way. If the order is done well, you will receive a sizable bonus." "Yes, it should be like this. I also need this reward, so letdo it. It's just that... If I really can't do it, I'll have to return the order to you." Minerva viewed Kelly in a new light.

Looking at Kelly, she couldn't stop herself from smiling.

"You really makelook at you differently." Kelly was doing alright without Minerva's praise. However, the moment Minerva praised her, Kelly's expression immediately turned awkward.

"What are you talking about? Why are you looking atdifferently? I'm not taking the order because you feel bothered, okay? I'm doing it for myself, for the bonus. So, don't think that I am doing it for you." "I didn't say anything..." "You must think that I'm doing it because of you. Hmm, I'm not!" Kelly retorted.

After that, Kelly turned around and ran out.

Minerva and Vera exchanged a glance.

A second later, they burst out laughing together.

"Why is Kelly so funny? She was so serious moments before, but shen acted so awkward just now. Why is it that every tyou praise her, she gets so awkward?" Vera crossed her arms in front of her chest, laughing out loud.

There was also a faint smile on Minerva's lips. Nodding in agreement, she smiled, saying, "That seems to be the case but it's quite cute, isn't it?" "Humph! If we're talking about cuteness, I'm equally cute! Minerva, don't harbor too much affection for her, only I can be your best friend!"

"My best friend?" Minerva raised her brows. "Didn't you say that you want to becmy sister-in-law? Are you willing to stay as my best friend for the rest of your life?" "F*ck, why must you dragdown like this! I don't want to talk to you anymore!" X
