Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 394

Minerva quickly went downstairs and turned a corner. She arrived at the restaurant in no time.

When she entered, she saw Janice sitting not far away.

She paused for a moment, recalling that she was in a hurry to meet her as scheduled.

However, when Minerva spotted Janice, she thought of Janice having a meal with friends. Would it be inconvenient to go over at present?

As she was deep in thought, the waiter approached all of a sudden.

"Nice to meet you, Miss. May I..."

Han Minerva came to her senses when she heard this. She smiled faintly at the waiter. "I'm looking for a friend. Thank you."

After that, she walked towards Janice. When Minerva got closer, she realized that Janice was sitting alone.

Didn't she say she's having lunch with a friend? Minerva was a little confused.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Lowell."

Janice had been waiting for Maddox. It had been a while since he had gone to the washroom. He should have come back even if he had to take a dump. Did he refuse to come back because of her?

She thought about it and sighed simultaneously.

Out of the blue, she heard Minerva's voice.

Janice saw Minerva standing in front of her at once after coming to her senses.

"It's you," she said disappointedly at Minerva.

Minerva recognized the disappointment in her voice. She thought for a while and spoke. "Miss Lowell, I was in a rush just now. Please forgive me for not asking if it's convenient for me to come over."

After saying that, Minerva glanced at the seat opposite Janice. "If it's inconvenient, I'll come back later?"

"It's not necessary, have a seat." Janice smiled bitterly and said, "He probably has left."

Janice thought that he was just using the excuse of going to the bathroom to leave the restaurant.

Seeing that she was under the weather, Minerva did not say anything further. Instead, she sat down in front of her. After that, she let out a chuckle. "Are you alright? Do you want to come over to my company?"

Minerva thought that it would be better for her to come over since she was not in a good mood here.

Janice blinked her eyes and thought. "Go over to her company?"

Maddox did not go to the washroom. Instead, he leaned against the corridor and smoked. As he felt that it was about time, he put out his cigarette and returned.

It was only then that he noticed another person at Janice's table.

His cold gaze inadvertently swept over the person.

Maddox paused all of a sudden. Even though he appeared cold, his jet eyes hid his huge emotional fluctuation.

He had nearly drowned in the sudden wave of shock that overwhelmed him.

Was it an illusion?

Did he fantasize about the woman again?

He saw her for a fleeting moment the previous time. Maddox thought... Perhaps it was the same this time.

Therefore, he subconsciously held his breath and dared not to blink his eye.

One second, two seconds...

Ten seconds had passed, but the person was still within his sight, smiling sweetly.

"So it's not an illusion this time?"

Maddox extended his legs and walked towards her step by step.

"Well, let's go to your company. I'll pay the bill first."

Minerva thought that since Janice was her client, it was fine for her to foot the bill.

When Minerva came to think of it, she grabbed her bag and rose. "I'll go. You sit down for a while."

Maddox fixed his eyes on Minerva for a long time.

Minerva took a deep breath and suppressed her feelings. After a long while, she raised her head and smiled at Janice. "It seems that you have something else to do. I'll make a move first.

Certainly, Janice cherished some alone time with Maddox. Thus, she agreed to it, nodding her head shyly.

Just as Minerva was about to step out, Maddox, who had his eyes fixed on her, opened his mouth in an instant.

His voice sounded icy.

"Your friend?"

Janice was stunned for a moment. It took her some time to respond to Maddox. She nodded and then shook her head, beginning to introduce them politely.

"Mr. Yardley, this is the designer of my outfit, Shelly, who just came back from abroad. This is the president of the Yardley Corporation, Maddox. He's my..." Janice blushed when she said that.

How was she going to introduce him? Even though she was certain that she would eventually get together with Maddox, it was not suitable to introduce him as her partner at the moment. It would be inappropriate to introduce him as her blind date either.

In the end, Janice rephrased her introduction.

"He's my friend."

Needless to say, Minerva knew that he was the president of the Yardley Corporation.

She had already been aware of this matter five years ago, yet... she was not concerned about this right now.

In order not to embarrass the customer, Minerva greeted Maddox with an indifferent look, "Hello, Mr. Yardley."

Mr. Yardley?

When he heard her addressing him in such a manner, Maddox suddenly narrowed his eyes angrily. His aura turned dangerous instantly.

It had been five years. Was the formal greeting all he got?

Oh, fine.
