Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 589

"Are you overthinking it because of what happened recently? Do you think that it may be a trap? The contract is official. I have done my research on Blue Sky Company. Justin Yeager is indeed the manager of this company, and he has a say in it," Vera stated.

Blue Sky Company...

At the thought of the company's name, Minerva felt a little uneasy. "Go and find out who the boss of Blue Sky Company is. I'll get Quill to help out too."

Vera pondered for a moment and nodded. "Okay. I'll go check it out right away."

After Vera left, Minerva sat down at her desk. She grabbed the contract and scanned through it carefully once more.

It was soon time to get off work. By this time, Maddox should already be coming soon.

Due to the previous incident, Maddox avoided Quill.

Although he didn't like the idea and held resentment, he still thought of Minerva first. For the time being, he would avoid going against Quill head on.

Minerva had nothing to worry about for the time being.

She pursed her lips and slowly began to pack up, ready to get off work.

Since Vera would leave first, she would just wait there for a while longer.

All of a sudden, Vera suddenly ran in with a terrible look on her face.

"Minerva, I'm sorry."

Upon hearing this, Minerva jumped up from her chair. "W-What's wrong?"

Vera bit her lower lip. "I went to check on the boss of Blue Sky Company just now, and then I found..."

"What did you find?"

Seeing that Vera was reluctant to speak up, Minerva reminded her, "Stop hesitating. Just spit it out."

She lowered her head and spoke softly, as if she was afraid that Minerva would scold her in anger. However, Minerva could still hear her words.

"I just found out that the boss of Blue Sky Company is actually an old friend of ours.

You know him too. He's..."

Minerva furrowed her brows and a name appeared in her mind almost immediately.

"Benedict Yardley... Maddox's eldest brother."

Upon hearing this name, Han Minerva felt like she was suffocating.

She stumbled and almost fell forward. She managed to grab the corner of the table in time so that she didn't fall forward.

"Calm down. This was all my fault. I should have investigated this matter in advance, but I only checked out Blue Sky Company and not who their President was. I only knew that Blue Sky Company has a good reputation so I didn't pay much attention to this. This is my fault..."

Benedict Yardley...

Minerva suddenly remembered the two encounters she had with him at the supermarket, as well as what he had said to her.

No wonder they were willing to offer such a lucrative contract. No wonder Justin looked at her differently.

Perhaps this was not just a simple cooperation after all?

When she thought of this, Minerva bit down heavily on her lower lip. Her grip on the corner of the table became tighter. Moments later, she calmed down and said, "I understand."

Vera looked at her worriedly and asked, "Are you okay? It's all my fault. Why don't I go to Blue Sky company to look for Benedict personally? Let's terminate the cooperation. After all, he is an acquaintance. I'm sure he'll agree to it."

After saying that, Vera turned around and left.

"Stop!" Minerva called out to her.

Vera reluctantly stopped. "Minerva?"

"Now, it's time to get off work. Quill is coming soon. Pack your things and wait for him. Pick up Beanie after that."

"Minerva!"

"Go, just pretend that nothing has happened. You don't know anything."

"Then this contract..."

The first time, she was at the supermarket with Beanie, but she didn't recognize him. He gave her his mobile phone number but she had lost it.

The second time, Benedict had said that he was waiting for her in the supermarket and that he meant no harm.

If he meant no harm, what was he trying to do?

Trying to reminisce about old times?

If that was all he wanted to do, why did he collaborate with her company?

No, it couldn't be that simple.

Suddenly, Minerva felt a cold touch on her hand. She suddenly came to her senses and realized that Maddox was holding her hand.

She paused and then looked up at him.

"What's wrong?"

"Why are you in a daze?" Maddox stared at her sharply and reminded her, "You've been absent- minded many times today. What happened?"

Han Minerva's lips moved, and then she shook her head to deny it.

"Nothing happened. I was just thinking about work."

"Is there any trouble?"

"No."

She was being absent-minded and she was denying it quickly. Maddox quickly became suspicious.

If she didn't want to talk about it, he could find out by himself.

When it came to investigating, Maddox suddenly recalled that he had said that he would not investigate anything related to her. If he was investigating her work, was it considered related to her?

Maddox was frustrated. Why did he make life hard for himself?
