Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

When Minerva noticed how pale and nervous Vera looked, she questioned, "Why did you rush over to me? Aren't you the one in charge of handling new clients?" After listening to her words, Vera turned even paler. She swallowed nervously and started to explain, "The client specified that he wanted to meet with you..." Minerva blinked a little in confusion, "Me?" Vera nodded fervently at that.

She looked drawn and could not for the life of her stop catching her breath. Minerva thought there was more to it though. She didn't think that such a simple demand from a client would render Vera so panicked.

She knew that something was off. That client...

All of a sudden, something snapped into her mind. She could not do anything but stare a little longer at Vera, unable to move her lips.

Vera on the other hand, was chewing on her bottom lip, trying desperately to avoid her gaze.

"Clatter!" Minerva felt her heartbeat quicken. She turned to Nash without any hesitation, "Nash, please send Beanie back first. Tell Quill that I have something urgent to attend to. I'll take a taxi back later." "I don't... But Mr. Hanover toldto..." Nash started to protest.

"Don't worry, Nash. I'm just going to meet a client. I'll take good care of myself. Tell my brother to rest assured." "Beanie, leave with Nash first. I'll be back a little later to keep you company, alright?" When Beanie saw the troubled look Minerva and Auntie Vera shared, he nodded meekly without making a fuss, "Okay Mommy. Nash, let's head back first. I'll tell Uncle about Mommy's situation." With that, they departed back home.

Minerva took a deep breath, and redirected her gaze back at Vera.

Vera paled slightly and cast Minerva a terrified look.

Throughout these five years, she had rarely looked at her like that.

Minerva remembered the one tVera had looked at her the sway was when Minerva had been struggling to give birth and had suffered excessive bleeding when she was giving birth to Beanie. Vera's look unsettled her deeply.

Minerva roughly knew who the client was already.

"Let's go then," she sighed, holding Vera's hand and dragged her along.

When they entered the elevator, Minerva appeared to have calmed down which confused Vera, "Why aren't you askingmore questions?" Minerva cast a questioning glance at her.

Vera thought that Minerva was unusually calm and quiet. Did this mean...

"You already know, don't you?" Vera said, trembling a little as she did.

Minerva merely kept her head down and remained silent.

"Is he the person you askedto blacklist this morning? Minerva, are you sure you want to go see him now?" Vera asked nervously, clutching her hand.

Minerva smiled as soon as she heard this. She raised her head, met Vera's gaze and said, "Yes, why not?" With an indifferent stare, she continued, "He's here for business after all; he's a client." Vera did not know what to say to that.

She loosened her grip on Minerva's hand, finally leaning feebly against the elevator wall.

"Ding!" The door of the elevator opened.

Minerva walked out numbly, leaving a stupefied Vera in the elevator staring after her as she thought.

Did that incident not bother Minerva anymore? Meanwhile, in the office...

Maddox looked around and found that the room was comfortably bright. There was a vase of baby's breath placed on the table which made him feel invigorated upon looking at it. His heart was palpitating.

Moments from now, he was finally going to see that woman. Today would be their second meeting and he had no idea what her reaction to him would be.

He started to brace himself for the worst.

The clacking of high heels sounded from the door. Maddox clenched his fists in anticipation as he heard.

"Was she here?" He thought.

Minerva walked steadily towards the door of the office.

She had originally thought that she would be nervous after meeting him that day. Nonetheless, when she walked towards the office, she was able to remain calm. She had already considered the whole situation with Maddox from before as a thing from her past.

Therefore, this meeting with him did not incite much anxiety in her.

As soon as she entered the office, she was met by a tall and sturdy figure.

He was wearing a dark suit and his back was facing her. She could tell that he was handsby his back as he looked quite fit.

Minerva let herself gaze at his back for a moment before he turned around.

She stepped forward accordingly at a steady pace.

Vera stumbled as she entered through the door. She had followed a little too closely behind Minerva and had accidentally bumped into her. She yelped upon the collision.

Minerva paused abruptly when Maddox promptly turned around.

He was indeed good-looking.

Minerva turned to look at Vera and instructed nonchalantly, "Go grab our client scoffee." Vera nodded her head a little after an initial pause, "Ok, right away." With that, she stumbled out of the office.

Minerva was a little lost for words as she witnessed her clumsy manner.

She then turned to look at Maddox, plastering a tight smile on her face.

"Please take a seat," she offered.

He had imagined countless possibilities of how they would meet again.

However, he did not expect her to react like this to him.

There was no trace of sadness, no anger, no surprise, no joy...

Her expression gave nothing away. Nothing at all.

Minerva looked apathetic and had even graced him with a half-smile. She must not harbor any feelings for him anymore.

Maddox's face darkened at the realization. How could she keep her composure at the sight of him?

It made him unable to justify the surge of emotions that ons that overcamel him. He couldn't even remember why he had been so excited to meet her. After he had taken his seat, Minerva went to sit across from him.

The two sat opposite each other in silence for a long while.

A moment later, Vera fluttered into the quiet room with a cup of coffee.

Compared to the calm Minerva, Vera, on the other hand, was panic-stricken. However, she tried her best to calm herself down as she served Maddox the cup of coffee. "Enjoy your coffee," she offered politely.

Vera proceeded to stand behind Minerva after that.

"Let's show our client here the quotation our company has provided," Minerva started.
