Chapter 219


    "Is there a problem?" Maddox nced at her.


    How would Kimberly dare to say there was something wrong? She was just curious. Why would


    Maddox actually want to go with them? Knowing his personality, she had expected him to force her


    to reschedule her shopping date with Vera and go home with him immediately.


    She didn''t expect that... Anyway, it was really unbelievable.


    Vera had deliberately sat in the front passenger seat so that Kimberly and Maddox could talk.


    However, they didn''t say a single word to each other, except for the brief conversation at the


    beginning. During the journey, Vera discreetly nced behind her and noticed Maddox''s


    expressionless face. His eyes were as cold as ice. Kimberly sat not far from him, her face nk as


    well.


    If she hadn''t known better, Vera would have taken them as twoplete strangers.


    It was really awkward.


    It seemed that Kimberly was right. There definitely were no feelings between them, but...


    Vera nced at Kimberly out of the corner of her eye. ording to Kimberly, she was in a one-


    sided rtionship. It must be hard on her.


    All of a sudden, Vera felt very distressed for Kimberly.


    The atmosphere in the car was extremely awkward and silent. It remained like that for the entire


    journey. When Vera noticed that they were about to reach their destination, she quickly said, "You


    can stop at the front. We will get down from there."


    Sam did as he was told. Vera smiled and thanked him. She unbuckled the seat belt and opened the


    car door, and then patiently waited by the side.

    When Kimberly saw Vera get out of the car, she quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to


    alight from the car. Suddenly, she heard Maddox''s voice beside her, "Help me get out of the car."


    Kimberly was stunned.


    Maddox nced at her and said, "I''ming with you guys."


    Kimberly was shocked and confused when she heard his words. "You want toe shopping with


    us?"


    "Isn''t that what I just said?" Maddox said discontentedly.


    "Alright." Kimberly had no choice but to obey his orders and helped him out of the car.


    When Vera saw Kimberly helping Maddox get out of the car, she secretly winked at her. She looked


    smug like she knew he would follow them.


    Sam lowered the window and said, "I''ll find a ce to park the car. I''ll catch up with you guyster."


    "Okay," Maddox answered indifferently.


    Then, Sam went to park the car. Vera slowly walked towards Kimberly and plucked up the courage,


    "Young Master Yardley, it may be a little boring for you to apany two women shopping. Are you


    sure you want toe with us?"


    "Boring?" Maddox nced at her from the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he thought of something and


    asked, "Didn''t you organize the anniversary dinner?"


    There was a surprised look on Vera''s face. She looked at him and said, "Do you still remember me?


    But you don''t have to thank me specifically. It was a piece of cake. My name is Vera. I work in the


    finance department and my father is the supervisor."


    Kimberly stood beside her, stunned.


    Maddox sneered in his heart. What was this woman thinking? Putting Sylvia aside, this woman was


    so arrogant. Since when did he want to thank her?


    Maddox snorted andughed coldly, "I thought I don''t have to thank you? Then why did you have to


    introduce yourself like that?"


    Vera suddenly felt a little mortified. Kimberly was also embarrassed. Just as she was about to help


    Vera out, Maddox said, "I''ll give you a raise next month."


    Vera almost jumped in joy. She restrained herself just because there were so many people around


    them. "Thank you! You are the best! I am Vera from the finance department. Please never ever


    forget my name!"


    Kimberly finally spoke, "Didn''t you just say.... that he didn''t have to thank you?"


    Vera bit her lips and replied, "He doesn''t have to. However, he is the president of Yardley


    Corporation. It''s nothing for him to raise my sry. It''s not a big deal at all. Am I right, Young Master


    Yardley?"


    She acted like someone trying to suck up to their boss.


    Kimberly was baffled.


    She didn''t expect this side of Vera to appear. Why hadn''t she seen it before?


    Maddox didn''t want to talk to her at first, but when he looked at Kimberly, he saw the expression on


    her face and found it very interesting. There was a happy look in his dark eyes. He turned back


    towards Vera and smirked, "Yes."


    Kimberly was rendered speechless but then proceeded to push Maddox along on his wheelchair.


    The three of them walked into the mall together.


    Sam had already parked the car and quickly followed them from a distance.


    "Assistant Sorrento is here. I''m going to apany him."


    Vera ran towards Sam after saying that, leaving Kimberly and Maddox alone together.


    In fact, the shopping trip was Vera''s idea. Kimberly had just wanted to apany her. Now that


    Vera and Sam were behind them, Kimberly did not know where to go. She pushed Maddox around


    aimlessly and asked, "Do you have somewhere you want to go?"


    "Hmm?" Maddox raised his eyebrows. "I thought you two wanted to shop?"


    Kimberly exined, "Vera wants to. I..."


    "You are also a woman. Just buy whatever you like."


    Kimberly didn''t know what to say.


    He added, "Since I''m here, I''ll buy anything for you. Whatever you like."


    Kimberly felt a little bitterness in her heart, but she replied calmly, "No, I don''t need anything."


    She truly didn''t need anything. Maddox had already gotten her a lot of clothes and jewelry. She


    really did not know what else she needed.


    Maddox narrowed his eyes in surprise. "You don''t need anything? Or are you just afraid to spend


    my money? Are you afraid that I will dislike you for your vanity?"


    Hearing this, Kimberly smiled faintly and replied, "I thought you always saw me in that way?"


    Maddox choked when he heard Kimberly''s reply. After a while, he retorted in a harsh tone, "Can''t I


    change my mind? Is your impression of me already set?"


    "I should ask you this question, shouldn''t I?"


    While they were arguing, Vera shouted at them from behind them, "Guys,e here quickly."


    Kimberly looked back subconsciously. She saw Vera enter a jewelry store and turned around,


    pushing Maddox into the store too.


    At first, Vera was still a little afraid of Maddox, but after he had promised to give her a raise, she


    suddenly felt that his deep, cold eyes looked particrly amiable. Besides, she could warm up to a


    person very quickly once she got to know them. When they were in the store, Vera kept pulling at


    Kimberly to show her some of the jewelry pieces.


    It was a little inconvenient for Kimberly to push Maddox while Vera was shouting at her at the front.


    "Does this pair of earrings look good?"


    Kimberly looked at where she was pointing and saw a pair of pink diamond earrings shining


    underneath the bright lights. She fell in love with them at first nce. Kimberly, who was originally


    not interested in shopping, admired the earrings for a while. Then she smiled and nodded, "It''s


    beautiful."


    The pink color suited Vera a lot.


    "Then, put it on and see whether you like it." Unexpectedly, Vera asked the store assistant to take


    the earrings out and show it to Kimberly.
