Chapter 218


    As soon as Kimberly said that, the smile on Vera''s lips froze. She looked at Kimberly awkwardly and


    said, "So.... you didn''te to make amends with me? Then, my gift..."


    "I don''t know. If I didn''te here, maybe... I would never find out that you prepared me a gift. I''m


    sorry..."


    Vera stood still, her eyes turning red. She wiped her eyes hard and thenughed at herself, "How


    silly am I? To you, I''m just someone who likes to talk bad about other people, right? In the


    beginning, I treated you badly, and I was arrogant. But I realized that I had misjudged you. So, I


    wanted you to be my friend. But now... it looks like I am forcing you, right?"


    "No." Kimberly shook her head in denial. "You''re very kind to me. Our fight... I was too petty. Let''s


    forget about it."


    Vera looked at her with grievance and did not speak.


    Kimberly held back her tears and asked, "Are you willing to make amends?"


    Vera did not speak for a long time. Kimberly lowered her eyes and muttered, "Well, if you don''t want


    to, I..."


    "Kimberly, where is your sincerity? I''ve always been wronged because of our fight. You said you


    wanted to make peace with me, yet you didn''t even try to coax me? You don''t even want to wait for


    my answer. Are you sure you want to make amends?"


    Kimberly stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at her.


    Vera pouted, her eyes already bright red. "You have to treat me to lunch."


    Kimberly nodded, "Fine, I can do that."


    "Also, you have to go shopping with me after work to make up for the past few days."


    "Deal."


    After Kimberly agreed to her request, Vera finally broke intoughter.


    Kimberly was also helpless. Vera was simple-minded. She was just like a kid making her parents


    promise them certain childish things. Kimberly thought to herself, "Anyway, she is just a child. She


    means well. Whatever she says in the future, I''ll just take it lightly."


    After the two of them had reconciled, they headed towards the canteen for lunch. Vera was back to


    her usual self. Within a few hours of making peace with Kimberly, she had already started


    gossiping. She began to ask Kimberly about her and Maddox.


    "How is it going with you and Young Master Yardley? That woman did not have any impact on your


    rtionship, did it?"


    Kimberly was enjoying her soup. After thinking for a while, she suddenly raised her head and asked


    her, "Are you really interested in what happened between us?"


    Vera nodded vigorously, "Of course! I''m your friend. It''s my job to ask you about your life."


    "Well then, if I tell you that I and Young Master Yardley have no feelings for each other, will you


    believe it?"


    Vera stared nkly at her for a long time, her eyes wide open. "Then why did you marry him? He is


    disabled. I thought you liked him very much, that was why... you decided to marry him."


    Kimberly frowned when she heard the word ''disabled'' and corrected her, "Don''t just throw that word


    ''disabled'' around."


    At first, Vera was stunned, but then she curled her lips. "I thought you had no feelings for him? Why


    are you defending him?" Speaking of this, Vera nced at her and continued, "Is it because you like


    him, but he does not like you?"


    Kimberly had no choice but to remain silent. Vera had guessed correctly.


    She did not defend herself, nor did she say anything else. She just looked at her calmly. Vera


    instantly understood, but at the same time, she was in a bad mood, "No way! Is it true? You like him


    but he does not have any feelings for you?"


    "Keep your voice down," Kimberly reminded her.


    Only then did Vera realize what was going on. She nodded and lowered her voice.


    "Then... if he doesn''t like you, what are you doing to do? If he doesn''t like you, it will be more


    dangerous. Oh my God, then Sylvia..."


    Kimberly cut her off, "Don''t worry about it. Nobody can fully control their emotions. Besides, our


    rtionship is also veryplicated. You don''t have to worry about these things in the future."


    Vera curled her lips and said, "Okay. I''ll just listen to you."


    When it was time to leave work, Kimberly wanted to quickly pack her things up and immediately


    look for Vera. She had promised to go shopping with her. However, she had totally forgotten that


    she had promised to go home with Maddox.


    While on the way to the bus station with Vera, a familiar car stopped in front of them.


    The window of the car wound down slowly, revealing Maddox''s handsome but emotionless face.


    Vera widened her eyes in shock when she saw Maddox in front of them.


    Since she had be Kimberly''s friend, many weird things had happened around her. Thest


    time she met Vice President Yardley in the mall, he had personally sent her home. Then, thest


    time she took part in the anniversary banquet, she saw Maddox take Kimberly away. This time,


    Maddox had appeared in front of her again.


    "Didn''t I tell you to wait for me after work?" Maddox''s voice was cold, devoid of any shred of


    warmth.


    Kimberly suddenly remembered about her promise in the office when she heard him. She stuttered


    guiltily, "I... I forgot."


    As soon as she said this, Maddox''s aura became even more unpleasant, "Forgot?" Kimberly could


    feel the coldness in his voice. The hair on the back of her neck stood up. Vera was so scared that


    she hid behind her and peeked at Maddox from behind.


    Kimberly was the total opposite. She found herself to be quite calm in front of Maddox.


    At least, she was not behaving like Vera.


    Thinking of this, Kimberly took a deep breath and said, "I promised to go shopping with Vera. Why...


    why don''t you head back first?"


    Maddox didn''t say anything. He just looked at her coldly.


    Vera asked in a low voice from behind her, "Why don''t you go back with him? We can go shopping


    on another day."


    Kimberly frowned. She had promised Vera, but now...


    All of a sudden, she heard Maddox ask, "Where are you guys heading?"


    "Huh?"


    "Get in the car. I''ll drop the two of you off."


    Kimberly didn''t know what to say.


    Vera''s eyes widened in surprise, "You''re going to drop us off at the mall?" Vera grabbed Kimberly''s


    clothes and asked, "Did I mishear something?"


    Kimberly thought that she had misunderstood too, but she didn''t expect that Vera had heard the


    same thing. Her mouth twitched as she replied, "I don''t think so..."


    Sam got out of the car and opened the door for them, "Please get into the car."


    Kimberly was still standing in a daze. Vera nudged her and said with a smile, "Thank you, Young


    Master Yardley!"


    After that, she walked around the car, opened the front passenger door, and got in.

    Sam secretly gave Vera a praise!


    She was a smart girl. She purposely did not sit in the backseat so that Maddox and Kimberly could


    ride together. She was a hundred times brighter than Sylvia.


    "Where are you guys heading to?" asked Sam.


    Vera told him their destination.


    Kimberly listened to their conversation from the back seat. She looked at Maddox awkwardly.


    She asked hesitantly, "Are... youing with us?"
