Chapter 428


    Who else could make Maddox obsess about her and act so strangely?


    He had been with Maddox for so many years and knew that Maddox had always been cold-hearted.


    However, he had all sorts of feelings for her, such as adoration, sympathy, sorrow and dilemma.


    Therefore, Sam could not think of anyone else besides her.


    It was a pity that she had disappeared for a long period of time. Unexpectedly, she would reappear


    after five years.


    Since Maddox bumped into her, she made a significant impact on Maddox.


    Minerva remained silent. Instead, she stared at him indifferently.


    "Do you want to go up and stay for a while?"


    She asked.


    Sam shook his head, handed over the key and mobile phone in his hand. "I have settled this matter


    under Young Master Yardley''s instructions. The mobile phone has been repaired. These are your


    car keys."


    Minerva lowered her head, saw her phone and her car keys in his hand.


    She was stunned for a second, reaching out to take the phone and the keys.


    Thus, did hee here that day just to deliver these?


    Minerva felt that it wouldn''t be that simple.


    "Miss Shelly."


    Sam called out to her all of the sudden. Minerva raised her head and met Sam''s cold gaze.


    "I know that you are now a well-known designer and you''ve established your ownpany. Miss


    Shelly, you are someone whom I admire. I''m relieved that you stayed by Young Master Yardley''s


    side. But... too many things have happened in the past five years. If possible... I hope that you won''t


    hurt Young Master Yardley anymore."


    Minerva was dumbstruck at once.


    Hurt Maddox?


    When did she hurt Maddox? Wasn''t she the one who got hurt in the past?


    Who had blocked her at the entrance of the Ocean Vi? Who had banned her from entering the


    gates of the Yardley Corporation?


    Who... threw the divorce contract in front of her and told her never to appear before him again?


    When these memories shed through her mind, Minerva''s eyes were glistening with a hint of


    annoyance. However, she quickly suppressed these emotions. After she calmed herself down, she


    gradually raised her head and looked straight in Sam''s eyes.


    "You must be kidding. Mr. Yardley is just my client. I won''t do him any harm."


    Sam was bewildered.


    "You..."


    Minerva smiled faintly. "Thank you for your help. I owe you a favor. I''ll treat you to a meal next time


    when I''m avable, or you can contact me if you need my help. This is my name card."


    After finishing her sentence, Minerva handed over her business card. Sam was in a daze before he


    took over the business card.


    "The things you worry would never happen."


    "I get it. I''m sorry if I have offended you in any way. I still have something to attend to. I''ll make a


    move now."


    "Alright, goodbye." Minerva gave a slight nod as well. After that, she sent Sam off.


    Vera snuck out of the corner after Sam left.

    "What''s going on? It seemed like you guys had an unpleasant conversation. Did something


    happen?"


    When she heard Vera''s voice, Minerva came back to her senses. She shook her head. "Nothing,


    let''s go back."


    As she looked at Minerva''s back, Vera felt a little strange.


    What did the two of them say? It was rather unusual.


    When Minerva returned to her office, she sat down again to design the outfit. She wore an


    indifferent look, but she hadplications in her heart.


    Sam clearly knew about what had happened back then. Why was he telling her all those things


    today?


    Was it due to the fact that Maddox was a married man?


    So was Sam afraid that she would ruin Maddox''s marriage and retaliate against him?


    He would wrong her if he thought that way. She would never ruin other people''s marriages.


    This was because she had been hurt in such a manner.


    Otherwise, when Sylvia told her that she was pregnant, why would she feel disappointed and leave


    Maddox?


    Subsequently, when Minerva wanted to design, she realized that she had run out of ideas.


    She had no choice but to put down the pen. She then walked out and made herself a cup of coffee


    in the tea room.


    Five years had passed. She knew that she should stay calm.


    However, it was only then that she found that she was interrupted by Sam''s words andcked


    inspiration.


    As she thought of this, she called Vera over. "I need my space to design today. I won’t be seeing


    anybody. If there are any customers or other matters, please settle it for me."


    Vera nodded directly without saying further after noticing her solemn look.


    "Don''t worry. Please focus on your design. I will deal with other matters." "Alright, I''ll have to trouble


    you then." After that, Minerva locked the door of the office and went straight to the lounge. She


    moved a chair in front of the casement window. Then, she sat on the ground and began to draw.


    She closed her eyes and began to recall the previous ideas. She focused on designing the outfits,


    leaving her thoughts behind.


    Vera had been waiting outside for her. The two of them had made an appointment at noon to survey


    the unit nearby. However, she dared not disturb Minerva because she wanted time alone to design.


    Kelly came to look for Minerva but she was stopped by Vera.


    "She doesn''t want to see us? What is she doing inside the room?"


    "Minerva has inspiration for her drawing and needs some personal space. She said that no one is


    allowed to disturb her. So, if you have anything to discuss with her, you can wait until she finishes


    drawing."


    Kelly started to take a liking to Minerva as she was a young and capable woman. Although Kelly


    admired such a woman, she disapproved of her actions and snorted.


    "She''s already the boss of thepany. How could she do such a thing? What if something really


    happens to thepany and she still stays inside to design an outfit?"


    Upon hearing her words, Vera furrowed her brows. "If you have anything to say to her, you can tell


    me about it. There is no need for you to be sarcastic."


    "Huh, who wants to tell you? I''lle to herter."


    After finishing her words, Kelly left straight away.


    She came again between three and four o''clock in the afternoon, but the door of the office was still


    closed.


    Kelly asked, "Hasn''t shee out yet since morning?"


    Vera leaned against the door with a worried look on her face.


    "Exactly."


    Kelly was a little dumbfounded. "Is she crazy? Even if she wants to design, she has to take care of


    herself, right? Why does she draw day and night? Is this what a boss will do?"


    Vera seemed to be listless. She merely leaned against the wall without answering Kelly.


    Kelly pondered for a while and asked Vera, "She didn''t even have lunch, did she?"


    Vera nodded.


    "She just ate something in the morning. She''s been inside until now."


    Kelly was rendered speechless and her mouth twitched. She stared at Vera''s helpless look and


    could not resist asking, "How many times has she done this before?"
