Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

However, the room was empty when she returned. She couldn't see Maddox anywhere.

Kimberly did not give up. She ran into the study.

But he wasn't in the study either. Kimberly didn't know where he had gone. Perhaps because she felt guilty about what she had said, she felt as though Maddox was slowly leaving her world. Or perhaps, she had never been able to enter his world.

Finally, Kimberly washed up and changed her clothes for work.

She happened to meet Old Master Yardley who was on his way out.

It had been a long tsince she last saw him. The Old Master seemed to be very busy recently.

When he saw Kimberly, he immediately asked, "Erica, remember the favor that I asked you to do last time? How is it going?" Kimberly's mind was in a mess. At first, she didn't know what he was referring to. After a long pause, she realized that Old Master Yardley was asking about the matter of Benedict and Sylvia.

Thinking of this, Kimberly quickly explained, "Old Master, I have mentioned it to Sylvia, but... she seems to have a boyfriend, so..." Hearing her words, Old Master Yardley slightly narrowed his eyes, not really believing her. Kimberly was scared by his gaze, so she lowered her head and bit her lip. "Grandpa." A gentle voice cfrom behind them. It was Benedict.

Benedict said, "Didn't you have an appointment with Grandpa Abbott to play tennis? If you continue talking with Erica, Grandpa Abbott will tease you for being late again." Old Master Yardley gave Benedict a complicated look and finally looked away, saying, "Okay. Erica, I will look for you another day." Kimberly nodded, "Old Master, take care." After Old Master Yardley left, Kimberly noticed the layer of cold sweat on her back. Old Master could be so menacing sometimes.

There was no other way around it. His eyes were too sharp and Kimberly was always afraid that she would leak her real identity to him.

Benedict walked up to her and asked, "Are you okay?" Benedict...

Kimberly wasn't ready to face him yet. When she heard his voice, she lowered her head and stared at her toes. She turned around and was ready to leave.

"Erica!" Benedict called after her as soon as he saw her leave without even a greeting. There was a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Kimberly halted her steps.

Benedict sounded helpless as he spoke, "Are you avoiding me?" Kimberly didn't know how to respond.

She simply didn't know how to face him. This matter... was too complicated.

She felt that Old Master had placed her in a difficult situation. Perhaps... it was her fate. She had to make sacrifices for the greater good. Thinking of this, Kimberly closed her eyes. She grunted a "No" to his question and continued walking away.

But Benedict cforward and blocked her path.

He said, "If you're not avoiding me, why don't you have the courage to even look up at me?" Kimberly muttered in her heart, "Please leave. I really don't know how to face you now!" Benedict, the usual gentleman, seemed to be a little unforgiving. He probed further, "Did I do something wrong to make you annoyed? Or..." "No!" She suddenly raised her head and interrupted him, "Brother Yardley, don't think too much. It's my own problem. I still have to go to the company. Please excuse me." As soon as she finished speaking, Kimberly directly walked past him and left.

Benedict turned his head and saw her slender and petite figure striding quickly away from him.

She had really regarded him as a monster.

He stared at her until she disappeared out of his sight. Benedict suddenly cto his senses. He had been paying too much attention to her recently...

But why was she avoiding him? What did she mean by her own problem? By the tKimberly arrived at the company, she was already late. However, she did not have tto think about it and went straight to the office to find Maddox. Just as she was about to walk in, Sam stopped her.

"Assistant Shell, you can't go in." Kimberly's face turned a little pale. She replied, "I have something to say to Maddox." Sam said, "Young Master Yardley ordered that you can't go in and out of his office at will. Please don't make things difficult for me." Kimberly didn't know what to say.

She didn't expect that her unintentional words would infuriate Maddox so much.

Sam added, "Also, from today onwards, you are no longer Young Master Yardley's assistant." "What?" Kimberly's eyes widened as she asked in disbelief, "What do you mean?" Although it was a little cruel, Sam still told the truth. "Young Master Yardley demoted you." She had been demoted...

Kimberly gulped down a mouthful of saliva. After a while, she asked helplessly, "Then, what do I do from now on?" Sam answered awkwardly, "C-Cleaner." Cleaner? Kimberly's face instantly blanched at that.

How could she be demoted? Wasn't thing her to this equivalent to driving her out of the Yardley Corporation? And now, he was telling her to be a cleaner? What Would the whole company think of her? Sam pulled her back from her thoughts as he continued, "Or you can choose the ordinary employee position at the ground floor, but it's quite crowded down there." That was to say, the cleaner's position would be less crowded, but tiring.

The ordinary employee work wasn't that difficult, but it was overcrowded. Moreover, she was demoted, and she would definitely be bullied. sath th FindNovil.n't website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. Kimberly chuckled sarcastically and asked. "Why didn't he just fire me?"

Sam said seriously, "Young Master Yardley wanted to fire you, but Miss Shell, don't forget that you stilldwe the company's Salary, so you have to stay and finish the rest of your time." Kimberly was speechless for a while. Then she muttered,"... He's so calculative. I got it." Maddox probably was not in the mood to listen to any of her explanations now.

Kimberly felt that Maddox was genuinely angry with her. In the past, he wouldn't have gone to this extreme. But now, he was different.

He was announcing to the whole company that even if he had anything to do with Kimberly before this, they no longer had any relationship now.

She had no one to protect her, and anyone could bully her.

"Miss... Miss Shell." Sam called at her, stopping her in her tracks. "You really crossed a line this time. Young Master Yardley... hates those kinds of words the most." "I know." Kimberly nodded and said, "I was panicking, and he just wouldn't listen to me. But any explanation would be useless now. I'll get to work. Letpack up my stuff first." After that, Kimberly went straight back to her desk to pack up.

Sam watched on and sighed. They were clearly a couple, so how did they end up like this? Relationships, especially between males and females, could sometimes get very confusing. Sam couldn't understand what was going on.

X At noon, Kimberly told Vera that she had been demoted, which almost made Vera go crazy.

Vera exclaimed, "How is this possible? Didn't Young Master Yardley feel sorry for you? Why did he suddenly demote you? I don't believe it! Are you kidding me?" Kimberly smiled bitterly and stared at her lunch, saying, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
