Chapter 209


    "Did Maddox ask you to do this?" Kimberly could feel the tingling pain on her arm as she massaged


    her bruises.


    She was already forced into the elevator. There was no chance to escape.


    Sam advised her, "If you continue to struggle when the elevator door opens, the employees would


    laugh. By then, I can''t control their mouths."


    Was Sam threatening her? Kimberly red at him, but he quickly looked away before their eyes


    met. He pretended as if nothing had happened.


    The elevator descended. Soon, they arrived downstairs. When the elevator door opened, Sam


    stood behind her and ushered, "Miss Shell, let''s go."


    Kimberly had no choice. She didn''t want to beughed at, so she stepped out of the elevator and


    Sam followed her out.


    "They should be somewhere near. Let''s go look for them."


    When he said this, Kimberly paused for a moment and asked, "Are you sure that we can find


    them?"


    "Of course," Sam replied confidently. He seemed to have a well-thought-out n. In fact, Maddox


    had informed him where they would be.


    If Maddox didn''t tell Sam about their whereabouts, he might not have been able to find them.


    After all, there were so many restaurants around. Who knew where they would be?


    "But... just now, Sylvia invited me to join them and I rejected. If I suddenly appear out of nowhere,


    I..." Kimberly hesitated as she thought of this.


    Sam snapped her out of her thoughts. He said, "What''s wrong with that? You can just say that you


    suddenly felt hungry. If you keep having this reluctant attitude, you might end up losing Young


    Master Yardley one day."


    She had never thought about this. Kimberly was a little depressed. If Sam had not insisted on


    bringing her down here, she wouldn''t be here.


    But now... she was actually feeling a little pleased.


    Forget it. She told herself it was better to just go and find them.


    Sam spoke again, "It''s okay to be embarrassed. What if Young Master Yardley fell for your best


    friend? Wouldn''t that be even more humiliating?"


    His words made sense, and she couldn''t refute him.


    But then she realized something was wrong. Kimberly jolted and corrected him, "What are you


    talking about? We''re just going to have lunch with them. You look like you''re about to catch


    someone cheating."


    Sam touched his head and smiled awkwardly.


    Well, as long as Kimberly was willing toe with him, everything would be fine.


    Kimberly had been walking behind Sam all the while. She didn''t know how long they had been


    walking. She felt that Sam was walking in circles. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of a restaurant.


    "Miss Shell, there he is."


    Kimberly followed his gaze and looked into the restaurant. Through the ss window, Kimberly saw


    Maddox and Sylvia sitting next to each other, instead of face to face like what she had imagined.


    Sylvia was talking to Maddox, holding the menu in her hands. She was leaning towards him, and


    her cor seemed to fall open unintentionally. It was like she was showing her chest to Maddox, but


    it all looked too idental.


    Sam eximed, "Wow, look at her! She is leaning so close to Young Master Yardley. She is even


    trying to show as much skin as possible. See for yourself. Do you still believe her?"


    Kimberly stared at the two people through the ss window and remained silent.


    Sam then suggested, "Shall we go in?"


    "Stop." Seeing Sam entering the restaurant, she quickly grabbed his clothes and stopped him in his


    tracks.


    She stared at the two people inside. Something was bothering her.


    Just then, Maddox seemed to notice something. He nced in their direction out of the corner of his


    eye. Kimberly felt his gaze and immediately pulled Sam down into a squatting position with her.


    They hid away, sessfully avoiding Maddox''s sharp gaze.


    "Young Master Yardley, do you think we should have this?" Sylvia took the menu and continued


    leaning towards Maddox, slowly getting closer to him. She had sprayed on a floral perfume, and her


    lips were lightly tinted. Over all, she had put on a nude makeup, looking innocent and wless.


    Sylvia was very confident. If Maddox didn''t like Kimberly, she should be able to his favor if she tried


    hard enough.


    After all, Sylvia did not believe that Maddox couldn''t be tempted by her.


    While she was speaking, Sylvia noticed that Maddox was staring outside the window. She paused


    for a moment and looked at him, "What''s wrong? Is there something outside?"


    She stood up and gazed outside the restaurant.


    "It''s nothing." Maddox averted his gaze, his ck pupils turning emotionless. His lips were set in a


    hard line.


    Sylvia was not discouraged. She raised her lips and smiled gently, "What do you want to eat?"


    "Anything. You decide," Maddox replied inly as he looked straight into her eyes. His gaze was as


    sharp a knife. At first, Sylvia was shocked. But slowly, she wrapped her head around it.


    A man as emotionless as Maddox would be immovable. However, once the ice in his heart melted,


    his passion would burn for her.


    She couldn''t lose Maddox.


    She must get him!

    Sylvia smiled charmingly and tried to make her voice lighter, saying, "Alright then, I''ll order." So, she


    called the waiter and ced her orders.


    Maddox''s brows were knitted. After the waiter had left, he looked at Sylvia thoughtfully.


    "How do you know what I like to eat?"


    Upon hearing his question, Sylvia lowered her eyes shyly and exined, "I just happen to know it.


    You won''t mind, right?"


    Maddox''s brows rose. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes as he echoed, "Is that so?"


    "Fine, I''ll tell you." Sylvia blushed bashfully and exined, "When ourpany cooperated with


    Yardley Corporation, Secretary Sharpio had all your details, including your favorite food. When I


    scanned through the information, I saw that and kept it in mind."


    Kimberly crouched outside, listening to everything they had said. She squatted quietly and watched


    on.


    Sam retched, "Your best friend is really disgusting. What does she have in mind? Look at her, do


    you still want to tell me that she isn''t that kind of person?"


    After saying that, Sam realized that something was wrong.


    He turned to check on Kimberly, only to see that she was very calm as she gazed ahead, but her


    face was devoid of emotion.


    He asked worriedly, "Miss Shell, are you okay?"


    "Sam... let''s go back."
