Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 137

The atmosphere in the elevator was very awkward.

Sam was the most uncomfortable. He had to endure the different emotions of the two other people in the elevator, especially the strong energy coming from Maddox.

Fortunately, they reached their floor quickly. Before Sam could react, Maddox had already rolled his wheelchair out by himself.

Without looking back.

Kimberly, who was standing in the corner, raised her head and looked at Maddox's leaving back, feeling very uneasy.

She then walked out slowly. Sam took two steps back and asked her in a whisper, "What's the matter? You guys were still fine yesterday, what happened today?"

Kimberly didn't want to answer his question, so she kept silent.

Sam noticed her silence and gave up. He left her to follow after Maddox.

Kimberly returned to her seat and stared at the jumble of words on the documents on her table. However, Maddox's callous eyes kept appearing in her mind. The disgust and coldness in them were so obvious.

He must have hated her even more now, right?

So weird. She had told him about it. What was there to be annoyed about now? She scolded herself inwardly, "Focus on work!"

Kimberly pulled herself together and focused on her work.

When she was having lunch at noon, Sylvia sent her a text message asking if she was free now. She had something important to tell Kimberly.

Kimberly saw the text and thought of what had happened at lunch with Quill the day before.

Quill was back now, and that meant that the truth had been discovered.

But now... she felt that it wasn't as important anymore. She didn't need to know who the man was.

Thinking of this, Kimberly bit her lower lip and typed a message to reply Sylvia.

"I have to work, I might not have time."

Sylvia replied quickly, "Then I'll ask you out again in two days."

Sylvia wasn't eager to go out either. She didn't know how to tell her thoughts to Kimberly. It would be good if she could hold it off for the time being.

Kimberly replied with a smiley-face emoji.

Then, the two of them did not mention this matter again.

Sylvia held her phone and breathed a sigh of relief. Although she did not tell Kimberly the result, she still had to pretend to ask Quill later.

At this thought, Sylvia changed her clothes and went out.

As soon as Kimberly put down her mobile phone and had a bite of her food, someone sat down in front of her.

"So, you're here. You were easy to find."

Kimberly looked up. It was Vera.

"How did you..." Kimberly was surprised to see her.

"Why? There are no more empty seats in the canteen. Can't I sit here? Look at you. No one dares to sit with you since you bullied those girls in the canteen last time, am I right?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Vera said arrogantly.

Listening to her, Kimberly couldn't help curling up her lips and asked, "Yes, everyone is afraid of me. Then, why are you sitting in front of me?"

Vera snorted in response, "That's because I'm different and righteous. I'm not afraid of you."

Kimberly was speechless.

Vera glanced around and leaned over suddenly, "Did you start the fight last time?"

Kimberly was stunned for a while and then shook her head.

"No," Kimberly answered.

"Really?" Vera asked again.

"Why would I lie to you?" Kimberly retorted.

Vera paused, and then she leaned back and snorted heavily, "That means they started the fight first?"

"Yes, one of them splashed some soup at me, so I fought back," Kimberly explained. "Sh*t, so they really did start the fight? Seriously... these people look so gentle most of the time, how could they be so brutal? So, you were just defending yourself. Good one!" Vera praised.

Kimberly uttered with a little helplessness,"... Didn't you assume that I started it..."

"That was before this. I thought you started the fight. But since they did it first, you don't have to be so polite to them, just beat them up to death..." Speaking halfway, Vera realized that she was too violent, and she released her clenched fists. She coughed, "I was just kidding. I am very gentle. Don't tell anyone else!"

Vera chatted with Kimberly for a while. Before she left, she said to her, "I think you're not bad, you're brave as well. Can we be friends?"

"Huh?" Kimberly was dumbfounded.

Friends?

Kimberly stood still in a daze. Was this actually happening? Ever since she had joined the company, There was basically nobody who wanted to talk to her. Everyone thought she had come in through a back door, and they were particularly disdainful towards her.

Now that Vera wanted to be friends, Kimberly was stunned.

"Hey, what are you dreaming about? Do you want to be friends or not?" Vera stared at her unpleasantly.

When Kimberly came to her senses, she shook her head quickly and explained, "No, I'm just a little surprised because... I don't have any friends." "You don't have any friends?" Vera looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Don't tell me I'm the only one?"

"There's one more. But other than her, there's no one else," Kimberly replied.

Vera patted her chest and said, "Well, I'll be your friend from now on. I'll cover for you in the future."

Kimberly looked at her, feeling extremely moved.

Suddenly, Vera leaned over again and asked mysteriously, "But can you tell me how you got to Young Master Yardley?"

Gradually, the two of them became friends. In addition to Sylvia, Kimberly had another friend, Vera.

Although Vera looked lovely and cute, her attitude was frank. Innocent yet straightforward.

After getting off work, Vera went straight to Kimberly's desk and took her for a meal. She then discreetly asked her about Maddox.

After being questioned multiple times, Kimberly felt a little helpless, so she said, "Maddox and I... I'm afraid we don't have the relationship you think we have, so..."

"Huh? You're not his mistress?" Vera asked.

The phrase 'mistress' made Kimberly's face turn pale. Seeing this, Vera explained immediately, "I wasn't the one who said it! I heard it from some other people."

Kimberly replied to her question, "No."

She didn't want to be his mistress. Even if she had to leave half a year later, she was still technically his wife.

Even if she left in the future, she would still be his ex-wife.

Thinking of this, Kimberly felt much more comfortable.

"Aren't you the mistress? Then... are you his girlfriend?" Vera asked again.

Kimberly's expression changed, "No, please stop guessing."

Vera shrugged, "Alright."

After the two of them parted ways, Kimberly returned to the Yardley family. When she walked into the house, she happened to meet Benedict. After the two of them greeted each other, Kimberly went upstairs.

When she entered the room, she found that the quilt on her bed was gone.

She glanced around and noticed the quilt had returned to Maddox's bed.

Thus, Kimberly went straight to the quilt, wanting to take it back.

"Put it down."

Maddox came out of the bathroom in his wheelchair and scolded her once he saw what she was doing.

Kimberly stopped and turned her head to glance at Maddox.

"Don't touch my quilt," Maddox warned. "How is this your quilt? You threw my quilt away. Why can't I have this one?" Kimberly retorted.

Hearing this, Maddox sneered, "Is there anything in this house that belongs to you? Don't you know what position you are in?"

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

"Do you have to do this?" Kimberly took a deep breath and asked, staring at him unwaveringly.
