Chapter 90
Boom!
The door was closed, and therge conference room was so quiet that one could hear their
breathing.
Especially Kimberly Shell. Her breathing was obvious as she was frightened just now. One could
hear her heavy and unstable wheezing.
The two of them remained in their original position for a long time. Kimberly could feel a tremor from
Maddox Yardley''s chest, and her ears pricked up to his words.
"How long are you nning to sit like this?" Maddox asked.
Kimberly paused for a moment, and then she raised her head when she came to her senses.
Maddox also lowered his head at the same time.
Kimberly''s entire body was covered by his huge suit jacket. When she looked up, only her small
face could be seen. Her eyes were red and swollen. She looked pitiful.
Maddox''s heart skipped a beat. He pursed his thin lips. After a while, he said coldly, "What''s so
special with my face?"
Kimberly was brought down to earth by his words. She was not angry anymore. The incident just
now had frightened her anger away. At this moment, she still had a lingering fear, afraid that
someone would open the door of the conference room out of nowhere.
It seemed like Maddox was able to read through her mind. He said in a low voice, "Sam will stay
guard outside. If you aren''t nning to dress yourself, shall we continue?"
Kimberly was at a loss for words.
Two secondster, she quickly tightened the suit covering her body and got up from him. She was
extremely clumsy because she had to hold the suit jacket with one hand to prevent exposing herself
to Maddox.
It took her a long time to get up with her feeble hand.
Then she turned around and ran to the door, barefoot.
She looked like a child wearing an adult''s clothes when she wrapped Maddox''s suit jacket around
her. The suit jacket was so big that it almost covered until her knees. When she bent down to get
the clothes, the suit jacket touched the ground. It was an awkward scene and she looked absolutely
clumsy.
"..." Maddox closed his eyes, pinching his temple.
D*mn it, what happened to him today?
Kimberly picked up the clothes, only to find that it was a light orange colored skirt. The color was
delicate and lovely.
However, there wasn''t any ce in therge conference room that she could hide in. Where should
she change her clothes then? Thinking of this, Kimberly froze.
Displeased, Maddox said from behind,
"If you dilly-dally, I don''t mind opening the door and letting others watch you change."
Kimberly clenched the clothes in her hand, biting her lower lip.
He was indeed an abominable man.
She had no choice but to get up and stay far away from Maddox. She stood at the corner, turning
her back to him and quickly put on the dress.
After she finished changing, she walked back to Maddox with the suit jacket in her arms.
"Here." Kimberly said.
Maddox sneered, ncing at her coldly, "Since you''ve worn this suit jacket, do you think I''ll still want
it?"
Upon hearing this, Kimberly grasped the suit jacket in her hands and uttered, "I''m not dirty."
"Are you trying to imply that you are very clean?" Maddox was still jealous of her interactions with
Benedict Yardley. He recalled the time when he saw her wearing the clothes that were bought by
Benedict.
But now, she had changed into a new dress. The light orange dress entuated her fair skin, which
made her look delicate and attractive. The hemline of the skirt also enhanced the curvy outline of
her waist.
Maddox was amazed by how she looked now. He secretly cursed himself. When he was about to
leave in his wheelchair, he said, "Sl*tty woman." Kimberly''s face was flushed and she red at him.
"I am not sl*tty!"
N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
He ignored her.
Kimberly asked again, "Are you really not going to take the suit jacket back?"
"Throw it away!" Maddox grunted.
What he said was ruthless. When the door of the conference room was opened, Sam Sorrento, who
was standing at the door, came up to push Maddox away.
There was only Kimberly left in the conference room. She nced at the suit jacket and gripped on
it tighter.
This suit jacket looked very expensive, yet he could throw it away so casually.
It was merely because... she had worn it.
He thought she was dirty, didn''t he? Kimberly''s face turned slightly pale.
If he really thought that she was dirty, then why did he want to...
Kimberly stopped herself from thinking further.
"Kimberly, you shouldn''t put much hope on such a terrible man. He''ll do nothing but y tricks on
you!" Kimberly thought to herself.
Since he doesn''t want the suit jacket, she would just throw it away as he wished.
Kimberly was so enraged that she threw the suit jacket directly into the trash can next to her. There
were only papers thrown into the trash can in the conference room, so it was not dirty.
Kimberly put on her shoes and left the conference room.
Five minutester, she returned hesitantly to the trash can. Kimberly looked at the suit jacket that
was thrown inside. After a pause, she bent down and picked up the suit jacket from the trash can
again.
Forget it. She decided to keep it for him since he stopped others from seeing her naked body.
Kimberly left the conference room with his suit jacket in her arms.
At the same time, Maddox witnessed the scene on his office monitor.
Sam, who was standing behind him, spoke up for Kimberly, "Young Master, it looks like Assistant
Shell is quite fond of your suit. Although she had thrown it away, she still went back to pick it up."
Maddox did not answer.
"Young Master, that suit jacket is unique. Do you really not want it?" Sam asked.
Maddox replied with coldness and arrogance, "It''s so dirty. Who would want it?"
Sam said, "The trash can in the conference room is cleaned every day and only papers are thrown
into it. It''s not dirty, isn''t it?"
"D*mn it. A trash can is a trash can. Is there a clean trash can?" Maddox grunted.
Sam was rendered speechless for a while. "Young Master, you''re right." said Sam.
It was reasonable. Since the Young Master was a clean freak, how would he wear a suit jacket that
was thrown into a trash can?
On the other side, Kimberly returned to her seat with the suit jacket in her arms. Then she opened
the closet and took a bag out from it. She folded the suit jacket and put it inside the bag. If he
thought that it was dirty, she would then clean it for him. She would then find an opportunity to give it
back to him. He would not have any excuses then.
Soon it was time to get off work. Kimberly brought the bag with her when she was about to leave.
Along the way, she happened to meet Maddox who wasing out of the office too. Perhaps she
was feeling guilty, she hid the bag behind her.
Maddox witnessed all of her little tricks. He looked at her coldly and then looked away.
"Assistant Shell, are you off work?" Sam greeted Kimberly with a smile. He seemed to be oblivious
of the tension in the room.
Even though they had a bitter quarrel today, it was not Sam who had offended her.
Upon seeing his bright smile, Kimberly smiled and nodded.
"Let''s take the lift together." Sam said again.
Maddox, who was sitting in the wheelchair, frowned. Did Sam lose his mind? Did he forget what had
happened before?
"No, it''s fine. I..." Kimberly stammered.
"Let''s go, Assistant Shell. If you don''t go down with us, you will have to wait for a long time." Sam
insisted.
It was hard to refuse his kindness, so Kimberly had no choice but followed them into the lift.
After the elevator doors closed, Kimberly stood alone in the corner of the lift, trying her best to hide
the bag behind her. However, Maddox suddenly said in his deep and cold voice, "Didn''t I tell you to
throw the suit jacket away?"
