Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 800

Maddox's cold gaze swept past her. Then, he retracted his gaze and said coldly, "I'm not free."

Minerva was at a loss for words.

He acted as if he hadn't eaten dinner at her place last night, or helped her in the kitchen.

Hence, Minerva recalled what Geoffrey had told her that he was getting engaged when she was walking.

The bitterness in her rose up. Minerva secretly bit her lower lip and said, "It's okay. I've already had my lunch."

Geoffrey looked back at her in surprise, and with a look seemed to say, "When did you eat? Didn't I look for you in the canteen?"

"I thought you called me over for work-related matters, and since it's not, I'll go back to the secretary's office."

After saying that, Minerva didn't care about their reaction and went straight back to the secretary's office.

Well, she had advised herself constantly not to go into a dead-end and not to be unreasonable. He was a man with amnesia. He was innocent and did not know anything.

But she was still very uncomfortable in her heart, and bitterness kept coming up.

After taking two steps, Geoffrey caught up with her and said in a low voice, "Minerva, didn't we just talk about it? Why did you suddenly..."

"I'm not hungry. You guys can go eat. I'll go back first," Minerva interrupted him.

After Minerva left, Geoffrey was still standing in the same place in a daze. He was extremely regretful. If he hadn't talked nonsense a moment ago, nothing would have happened. It was all his fault! Thinking of this, Geoffrey turned back and glared at Maddox.

Maddox was confused.

"Forget it. Since none of us are eating and you're not available, I'll go back," he said.

Maddox did not make him stay. When he passed by the secretary's office, Maddox glanced into the room subconsciously, but he did not see the woman.

He couldn't help but frown, and his steps slowed down.

He didn't see her, thus, Maddox left.

Minerva didn't have lunch and couldn't sleep. She could only go to the canteen to eat some food.

When she went out, she ran into Lolita.

"Minerva, are you alright?" Lolita asked.

"Hmm?" Minerva's expression was a little confused, "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Geoffrey came to look for you at the canteen a moment ago," Lolita replied.

Minerva nodded and replied, "I know."

"You know?" Lolita's eyes widened, "Why did he keep looking for you? Is it because of the president?" she said.

Minerva stared at her seriously and said, "Don't be so nosy. It's not a good thing to know too much."

Lolita curled her lips and said, "Well, I'll stop gossiping, okay? However, you have to stay away from Geoffrey. He... doesn't have a good reputation."

"Thank you for the reminder. I got it," Minerva replied.

Lolita felt that Minerva was not having a good mood today. Moreover, her character was that kind of person who didn't want to share and interact with others. How could she be so introverted? She didn't know what to say, thus she took her leave.

In the afternoon, Linda asked Minerva to prepare a cup of coffee for Maddox.

When Minerva was making coffee, she thought of what Geoffrey said to her at noon, she was so angry that she added several pieces of rock sugar into his cup and sent it to Linda.

Linda was busy with her work and said, "I can't leave now. You can send the coffee to the president's office."

"Linda, what are you working on? I'll help you," Minerva said.

"No, it's okay, you can't help me here. Just send the coffee to the office now," Linda replied.

Minerva didn't want to deliver the coffee to Maddox, thus she had to find an excuse and said, "Linda, let me help you. I can learn if I don't know"

Linda could not help but stop and looked at her. She saw how eager she was.

"Hmm? What's wrong with you today? Didn't I ask you to deliver the coffee? What's with all the pushback? What happened?" Linda was such a shrewd woman. She could see Minerva's pushback at a glance. Minerva did not expect Linda to be able to see through her at a glance. Linda was staring at her at this time.

She was a little awkward, thus she could only say, "Nothing, you are the one who delivers the coffee all the time, right? I'm afraid the president will be unhappy if I send it to him."

"Tsk!" Linda didn't believe her. She had an unusual feeling between her and the president. Would Sebastian be pissed that she was delivering coffee?

"All right, If the president is unhappy, you can bring the coffee back. I'm busy with my work. If you don't want to deliver it, you can leave it here. I'll send it when I'm done with my work."

Linda ignored her after saying that and buried herself in work. She didn't respond to Minerva, no matter what she said.

She looked very much like a rogue right now. If you are willing, do it. If you aren't, there's no one to blame if the president gets mad.

Minerva felt a headache. She hesitated for a long while before she picked up the coffee helplessly and walked in the direction of the president's office

After she went out of the secretary's office, Linda raised her head again and looked at the direction she left with a deep look in her eyes.

President's office.

Minerva knocked on the door with a cup of coffee. She walked in with the cup of coffee after she heard Maddox asked her to go in.

When she entered the office, Maddox was holding a video conference on his computer and other talking voices could be heard from his earphones. Maddox's gaze moved towards the woman who entered the room unconsciously.

He saw her walk up to him with the coffee in her hand and put it on his desk. Then she turned around and prepared to leave.

"Stop right there."

However, Maddox called out to her suddenly.

Minerva stopped in her tracks and her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled subconsciously. Why did he ask her to stay?

She turned around and looked at Maddox in confusion.

"Wait here," he said coldly.

Minerva stood on the spot and watched him hold a video conference the following time. She might focus on the contents of his conversation and perhaps also think about it if it was in the past. However, her mind and heart were all in chaos today. She didn't listen to what Maddox said.

Maddox lifted his cup of coffee to his lips and took a sip during the meeting. His brows furrowed as soon as he swallowed it.

He turned to look at Minerva, who was standing beside him. Her expression was just as terrible as when he had met her at noon.

It seemed that... she had never been nice to him from the first encounter today.

Maddox put down the cup of coffee and his eyes darkened.

How did he offend her? Why did she give him this kind of expression, and... not making coffee properly?

After standing for a long time, Minerva's legs felt sore. She could only voice out, "President, if there's nothing else, I'll head back. There's still a lot of work to do in the secretary's office."

Maddox did not reply to her. He was still talking to the person at the other end of the video as if he had not heard her words at all.

Upon seeing this, Minerva bit her lower lip. She was a little angry.

He was at the meeting and didn't have time to talk to her, but yet he asked her to stay here.

Did Maddox think... that he could do whatever he wanted since she likes him?
