"Assistant Shell, this dress was personally selected by Young Master Yardley."
Sam could not help but say it.
"Ah?" Kimberly was stunned, and she glanced at Maddox in confusion. It was the first time that Maddox avoided her gaze. He sneered and said, "Did I? Why I don't know about this?"
Sam quickly explained, "Yes, yes, yes, I meant that I was the one who picked it. My tongue slipped, Assistant Shell."
Kimberly was at a loss for words.
Sam thought to himself, "Young Master Yardley, can you not be so childish?"
Sam could not figure out Maddox's attitude toward Kimberly, but as a subordinate, he could only pretend that he did not know anything.
"We shall go now," Maddox reminded her. Kimberly stepped forward and pushed his wheelchair.
Three of them entered the lift together and got into the car. Soon, they arrived at the place where the dinner party was held.
However, on the way, Kimberly noticed that they did not pass by a lake as they headed towards their destination, although Maddox had mentioned it. It was only until they got out of the car, Kimberly suddenly realized what was going on.
She was fooled by Maddox! There was no lake at all. It was a lie!
Thinking of this, Kimberly pushed him forward angrily. "You lied to me once again. Along the way here, I didn't even catch a single glimpse of the lake!"
Maddox couldn't help but smile when he heard what she said. "Dummy," he uttered.
Since his voice was quiet, Kimberly could not hear it clearly. She leaned forward subconsciously and asked, "What?"
Maddox turned his head and happened to catch the sight of her exposed breast. He held his breath and said, "Raise your head."
Kimberly did not understand, but she raised her head as told anyway.
"Don't lower your head," Maddox warned her. There were so many people here, she might accidentally flash herself when she bowed.
It was fine if he was the one who saw it. But at the thought that someone else could also see the same thing, Maddox felt upset.
D*mn it, he should have chosen a more conservative cut dress for her.
Kimberly felt puzzled and asked, "What's going on?"
"Can you behave more ladylike?" Maddox asked.
Hearing this, Kimberly widened her eyes and asked, "Which part of me does not look like a lady?"
Kimberly looked at her own dress and scoffed, "Young Master Yardley, you are the one who picked the dress, right? Yet, now you say that I don't look like a lady? What an irony."
Maddox argued, "Hasn't Sam said that he picked the dress?"
Sam quickly apologized when he heard this, "I'm sorry. I'll definitely choose a dress with more fabric next time."
Maddox gave Sam a warning glance, while Sam could only give a wry smile and cry bitterly in his heart.
The emergence of Maddox caused quite a sensation. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, the Yardley family was the top family in North City. Besides that, he was also the president of the Yardley Corporation. Therefore, his appearance at the dinner party drew a lot of attention from the crowd.
Even though Maddox was in the limelight, Kimberly, who was standing beside him, was not ignored. After all, Kimberly was a lovely beauty wearing a light blue dress, and her soft hair was draped over her shoulders.
Of course, she also attracted the attention of many men and women at the dinner party.
Maddox rarely attended the banquets. In fact, he could even count the times he did with a few of his fingers. But the interval between each banquet was long. Since he joined the Yardley Corporation, he had only attended a total of five banquets.
