"Ah?" Minerva thought that she had misheard him.
Maddox had actually told her to collect the money from Jarold? "You are qualified." Maddox said lightly, "So take it the next the gives it to you." Minerva was at a loss for words.
A brief thought appeared in her mind, what if the grandson which Jarold saved was one who would make life difficult for him? Just as they were talking, Minerva suddenly heard someone knocking on the door from behind. She nearly jumped up in fright, and hid reflexively behind Maddox's back.
She hid behind his back, her tightly clenched hands creating wrinkles on his suit. For a man like him, who had mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, he would have definitely burst into anger if it were in the past. But now that Minerva was the one who had caused the wrinkles on his clothes, the situation was different.
Not only did he not get angry, on the contrary, he felt a queer sense of satisfaction in his heart.
The person outside knocked on the door and didn't hear any response. So she knocked again, and then the voices of inquiry followed. "Mr. Sebastian?" "It's Linda!" Minerva said in a low voice. She then looked around. When she saw the table, she quickly ran over and hid under the table. Maddox was speechless.
A feeling of pain shot through his head as he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. Is this girl addicted to hiding? "Cin." Upon hearing the cold masculine voice which gave her permission to enter, the door of the office was pushed open as Linda entered the door with an envelope in hand. When she saw Maddox standing by the door, she had a strange look on her face.
"Mr. Sebastian, are you going out?" After that, Linda seemed to notice something, and her eyes fell on his suit jacket.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNormally, Mr. Sebastian's suit was always clean without any wrinkles, but at this very moment there were many wrinkles in the sleeves and the waist area of his coat. She then thought about the fact that she had knocked the door for a long while before being given a response.
However, these were not things that she could ask about. Linda could only hand over the items in her hands. "Mr.Sebastian, Master Collins cjust now." Maddox's expression was indifferent. It seemed that he wasn't surprised by her words, to which Linda assumed that he had met with Master Collins just now.
After coming to this conclusion, she was more straightforward. "This is an envelope left by Master Collins before he left. I don't know what's in it, so I brought it to you." An envelope? Maddox recalled what Minerva had told him just now and glanced at the envelope. Then, he took it and opened it.
Sure enough, there was a check inside.
"I see. Is there anything else?" Linda stood there and hesitated for a moment. She felt that it was better to tell him about it.
"Master Collins... askedto arrange a random position for Miss Dormer in the company." Upon hearing this, Maddox immediately frowned and his aura becgloomy.
Monica still had not given up? He had already made his words so clear and concise to her.
Seeing the frown on his face, Linda thought to herself that, just as she had guessed, Mr. Sebastian still avoided unneeded contact with women. However, Monica was a very special person, so it was really not easy to arrange a position for her.
Linda thought for a while and said carefully, "According to Master Collins's words, he values Miss Dormer very much. If I were to not give her a position, I'm afraid that Master Collins is going to get furious, but i I were to give her a position..." It was estimated that there would be no peaceful days for Maddox in the days to come.
Although Master Collins's attitude was tough, this matter was related to Maddox after all. Therefore, Linda decided to discuss this with him.
If there was anything amiss, Maddox could discuss with Master Collins later when he returned home. Linda didn't know why, but she saw the corner of Maddox's eyes glancing at the direction under the desk, and then he asked coldly, "Linda, how has the company of the Dormer family fared?" This sudden question...
Linda was stunned for a moment and then said, "The company of the Dormer family is also very powerful. It is one of the best companies around." Upon hearing this, Maddox sneered and said, "Since their company is so powerful, why is there any need for her to work at our company?." At this point, Linda finally understood Maddox was trying to convey. She immediately nodded and said, "I know what to do. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." "Alright," Maddox replied.
After Linda left, Minerva was still thinking at the bottom of the desk. Monica wants to join the company? She even managed to get Jarold's support? It really was terrible. If Jarold wasn't going to side with her, why would she have to do so many things? Alas.
"She's gone, and you're still not coming out. Are you addicted to staying here?" Maddox asked.
Maddox's voice sounded from above her head as she was deep in thought.
Minerva raised her head and looked into Maddox's eyes. However, she did not get up immediately. Instead, she asked, "If you don't arrange a position for Monica, it will offend your grandfather, won't it?" Maddox waited for a few seconds. When he saw that she was still squatting there, he squatted down in front of her and said in a low voice.
"Do you wantto arrange a position for her?" Minerva shook her head.
She didn't want to see that annoying face as soon as she went to work every day. Moreover, with Monica's personality, she would definitely make trouble for her every day.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Get up first." Maddox held her wrist and pulled her into his embrace. Then, he supported her body to get up as they stood up together.
After getting up, Minerva wanted to step back, but she found that his hands were around her waist, making it impossible for her to get away.
"I'll take care of all these things, and you can do everything as usual. It's just that... you can no longer live there."
"What? Then where should I live?" Minerva asked. She had just rented a house, and she had only been staying here for a short period of tshe had even paid her rent and deposit. Maddox recalled Monica's abnormal state and looked at the clear-eyed Minerva. He felt that it was best not to tell her about this matter, lest she would be frightened when the tcame. However, if he wanted her to move, he needed an excuse as well. "I'm worried that Jarold'll cause you trouble in private. I'll find you a new place to stay." Minerva blinked her eyes and looked at Maddox, who was right in front of her. "You're not suggesting that I stay with you, right?" Maddox was worried about her, but he did not tell her the reason. Now that she had said this, the atmosphere seemed to becambiguous.
He squinted his eyes and looked at her, his eyes gleaming.
"Did I say that I want to live with you?" Minerva was at a loss for words.
"Or it is that you want to live with me?" "I..." Minerva's cheeks instantly turned red. She argued for herself, "I didn't think so. You were the one who said you wantedto move out." "Well, it's true that you should change to another residence, but did I say I wanted to live with you?" He bent down, his warm breath was getting closer and closer to her. "It seems that you think so in your heart." "I didn't!" Minerva pushed him both angrily and annoyingly. How did she end up getting tricked by him?
"Who... hanged her underwear on my suit last time? Do you dare say that this is not a hint that you wantto E do something to you?" Maddox said.
As he said this, his lips had already pressed over against her ear, gently rubbing pass it.
