Chapter 173


    From what Sylvia had told Kimberly about Quill, the man was said to be always indifferent towards


    her, and Sylvia was worried that he wouldn''t care for her as they had reunited muchter in life.


    Kimberlyforted Sylvia at that time, but Sylvia got angry for some unknown reason.


    As Sylvia''s good friend, Kimberly naturally wanted to speak on her behalf.


    Quill did not answer her. He looked gloomy.


    After a while, he asked Kimberly, "Then, do you know everything about Sylvia? Does she know


    everything about you too?"


    Kimberly didn''t understand why he asked that but she nodded in response.


    They were best friends. Of course, they knew everything about each other.


    The atmosphere descended into silence again. Quill didn''t say anything, and Kimberly didn''t know


    what to say.


    Shortly after, they arrived at the mall. When the car stopped, Kimberly took a look outside and said,


    "Thank you for giving me a ride, President Hanover."


    After that, Kimberly opened the door to leave. However, Quill called out to her.


    He said, "Miss Shell, can I add you on Facebook?"


    Kimberly stopped dead when she heard Quill. Juliette was surprised as well and her eyes widened.


    In the many years when she had worked by his side, Juliette had never seen him use any social


    media tform ever.


    Now, he wanted to use Facebook just because of Miss Shell. Did he even know how to use


    Facebook?


    Kimberly did not expect this either, and she took a while to react. She thought that he probably


    wanted to ask about Sylvia, so she told him her Facebook username. Flowever, Quill handed his


    mobile phone to her and said, "Help me with it."


    Kimberly took his phone silently. She noticed that his ount was created recently. Without further


    ado, she quickly added herself using his ount and then returned the phone to him.


    She said, "All done, President nover."


    "Okay." Quill nodded and put his phone away.


    "Then... I''ll leave now. Thank you," Kimberly said and left.


    After Kimberly left, Juliette stared at Quill for a long time. She had something on her mind but


    couldn''t muster the courage to voice it out.


    "Do you have any questions?" Quill asked her.


    Juliette came to her senses and coughed softly. She said, "President nover, do you even know


    how to use Facebook?"


    Quill paused and looked at her coldly, replying, "I''m learning."


    Juliette was speechless. She asked, "Do you need my help?" He said, "No, I know the basics."


    After that, Quill ignored Juliette as he leaned back in his seat and took a rest. Juliette stopped


    asking any more questions.


    Juliette was still confused. Quill had acted so strangely with Kimberly. He was always looking at her,


    albeit without much affection. Juliette didn''t understand what was going on.

    A few dayster, Kimberly became more proficient in managing the shopping mall. The Yardley


    Corporation anniversary party wasing soon. Most of the staff, including her department, had


    started preparing for it.


    There were difficult tasks to do at the spot. Every department would pick a few people to help


    around.


    Because Kimberly had offended Lincoln, she was naturally on the list, along with Agnes and Lydia.


    When they arrived at the destination, the staff ordered them to blow up the balloons. Although the


    three of them were from the same department, Agnes and Lydia huddled together and ignored


    Kimberlypletely.


    "What''s wrong with Lincoln? Why did he give us this type of hard work? We are on Sister Winna''s


    side. He shouldn''t have done this to us!"


    Lydiained unhappily as she blew up the balloon.


    Agnes pursed her lips and nced at Kimberly, who was not far away. She was alone while they


    were together. Agnes smirked and said, "Maybe Lincoln did it on purpose."


    "Did he? That b*stard!" Lydia was so angry that she hit the balloon. However, the balloon was


    inted, and she couldn''t properly vent out her anger.


    Agnes sneered and said, "Calm down, what are you getting angry for? There are two of us here."


    "So what? How dare he make us do something so meaningless? I''m so annoyed. Lincoln is really


    crazy. I''m going toin about him to Sister Winna," Lydia grumbled.


    Agnes rolled her eyes, saying, "Didn''t you hear me? Lincoln ordered the three of us toe here.


    He deliberately asked us toe with Kimberly... so that we can teach her a lesson."


    "What?" asked Lydia.


    Agnes said again, "Are you stupid? Can''t you figure it out? I bet Lincoln is just creating opportunities


    for us after listening to Sister Winna''s instruction."


    Lydia finally came to her senses. She said, "So that''s how it is. Then, shall we take this opportunity


    to teach Kimberly a lesson?"


    Agnes replied, "Not so fast. There''s still half a month before the anniversary party. We can prepare


    a big surprise to Kimberly and let her know that we can''t be messed with."


    Lydia was so excited at the thought of exacting revenge on Kimberly. She was willing to follow


    Agnes'' lead.


    Time flew. Before long, a week had passed.


    The event would be held outdoors. Everyone was working under the hot sun. Agnes and Lydia were


    severely tanned but Kimberly did not seem to be affected. She was still looking very fair.


    Seeing this, both Agnes and Lydia were jealous.


    Standing at the side, Lincolnpared the three of them to each other. He felt that Kimberly was


    even more stunning and his feelings for her increased.


    Then, he went towards them and called for Kimberly. He had juste up with an excuse, saying


    that there would be an inspection.


    Lincoln said, "Miss Shell, the tasks must be very difficult for you."


    Kimberly''s face was impassive and she muttered, "I''m fine."


    Lincoln stepped forward and wanted to pat her on the shoulder, but before his hand touched her,


    Kimberly stepped back. She said impatiently, "What can I do for you?"


    He smirked and said, "It''s nothing. I just wanted to check on you. If it''s too difficult, you can beg me.


    I can transfer you back."


    Kimberly deadpanned, "There''s no need for that. I''m fine here."


    She could see that he had yet to give up on the idea to pursue her.


    Lincoln was stunned. He reluctantly sighed and shook his head, saying, "Miss Shell, I have seen a


    lot of stubborn girls like you. This is just the beginning. You may not feel the difficulty now but what


    about the future? Are you able to endure it if it gets worse? A wise person would know which is a


    better choice. You''d better listen to me now, rather than regret itter."


    Kimberly replied, "You must be joking. I''ve been demoted from a high position, but I... I''m still


    ambitious. I''m really not interested in you."


    Hearing this, Lincoln''s face fell. He pointed at her angrily and uttered, "Do you think you can go


    back to that position? Huh?"
