Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 411

Minerva turned pale and before she could react, she was held down against the car.

Against her back was the ice-cold body of her car, and against her front was the man's warm chest.

Minerva wanted to cry out for help but she smelled a familiar scent. She then stared in a daze at the man who was right before her.

Maddox...

His beautiful eyes stared intensely into hers, like a nocturnal predator who lurked in the night.

Passionate and fierce.

This was the first time they had been so close to each other since they met.

Her breathing trembled but she suppressed the fear in her heart and said coldly, "Mr. Yardley, please behave yourself!"

However, Minerva could not help to think, wasn't he supposed to be dining with Janice at this moment? Why would he follow her?

Maddox stared at her in silence.

He slowly lowered his head as if he wanted to kiss her.

Minerva's pupils constricted with fear. Just as his lips were about to touch hers, she said nonchalantly, "What do you think you are doing?"

Maddox paused. The distance between them was so close that his lips would touch hers if he were to say something.

"Ha..." He laughed from the bottom of his throat. Minerva could feel his warm breath on her face.

He held her chin with one hand. "What do I think I am doing? Can't you see?"

Minerva held her breath.

"I want to kiss you."

As he said that, Maddox bent forward and planted a kiss on her lips.

Minerva turned her face away in fright and he kissed her on her cheek instead.

She couldn't keep her cool anymore; there was fury in her pretty eyes. She then raised her hand and slapped Maddox across the face.

Clap!

She slapped Maddox hard across his face and his head turned to one side.

She was in fury and glared at the handsome man.

How could he do such a thing? After five years, wouldn't it be better for the two of them to act as if they did not know each other? Why must he come to disturb her in such a way?

Maddox remained in the position after being slapped. He did not move nor say a thing; there was not a hint of his emotions in his eyes.

All of the sudden, he chuckled as he stared evilly at Minerva.

"It seems that you're not that calm and untroubled."

He didn't like her behaving in such a way.

This woman had been cold to him ever since they met.

He had imagined countless scenes of their encounters, but how she could remain cool and calm was out of his expectations.

It implied that she was not concerned about his existence.

Watching her face turn red out of wrath, with emotions filling her eyes, Maddox could finally feel that his existence was worthy of her.

Minerva was already in trembling anger and she realized that he had messed up her emotions after what he said to her. She became even angrier and stomped on his foot.

She could clearly observe the changes in his expression when she stomped on his foot with her high heels. Yet, he endured the pain and stared at her instead.

"This is a warning for you. You won't be so lucky the next time."

She was surrounded by the man's compelling aura as he pressed against her...

Minerva shook her head, trying to get rid of those thoughts.

She had to concentrate on driving now.

After she told Quill that Beanie was going to attend school soon, Quill ordered someone to search for a good school for her and they managed to find two. One of the schools was in her favor as it was near to her company; she even thought of staying in the office if there were any unutilized rooms in the office, but on second thought it was not very convenient to do so. Hence, she planned to purchase a house nearby after deciding on which school to send Beanie to.

After spending a few hours to survey the school, Minerva returned to the company.

"How is it? How is the school?" Vera came forward and asked Minerva regarding the school.

Minerva placed the car keys on the table and nodded her head. "It's quite good."

"That's great. Oh right..." Vera coughed lightly and put the files on the table.

"This is the contract from Mr. Yardley. He has booked all the projects in our company but he hasn't selected a designer yet."

She got goosebumps upon hearing Maddox's name.

She just signed the contract with him yesterday and they met in the restaurant today. Not only that but he almost took advantage of her in the parking lot. When she returned to the company, Vera mentioned him again.

His existence lingered wherever she went.

Minerva pinched her glabella and answered softly, "You will be in charge of this project. You liaise with him. He can choose any designer in our company."

"Including you?" Vera blinked her eyes.

"Except for me." Minerva pursed her lips. It was the first time she made use of her position to refuse, "I am the boss of this company."

Vera was rendered speechless.

Vera smiled and nodded, "You are the boss; it's your call. Then I will contact him and let him pick the designers from our company."
