Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1040

Maddox was initially feeling gloomy. However, when he heard everyone praising Minerva, he relaxed a little. After that, the maliciousness in his eyes disappeared as well.

Not only that, there was a slight smirk on his face.

It was no surprise that she was outstanding. She was his woman after all.

Furthermore, the reason these people were able to be on the management team was not only because of their capabilities but also because they were good at reading a room.

They could see the changes in Maddox's mood.

When the senior management team realized that their flattery of Mrs. Yardley was very effective, they became excited and continued praising Minerva.

"Mrs. Yardley is amazing at managing the corporation. President Yardley, you have a good eye."

"Congratulations, President Yardley. You're blessed to have such a wonderful wife and son!"

This meeting had suddenly turned into an over-the-top compliment session for Minerva.

Maddox was happy to hear this. Since everyone loved praising Minerva, he let them be. Besides, he liked people praising his wife as well.

Sam, on the other hand, was speechless. He rolled his eyes when he heard the senior management kept on heaping praise on Minerva.

He really wanted to mock them for being shameless.

When Young Madam took over as vice president, they looked down on her, but now...

Sam coughed lightly and walked toward Maddox.

He reminded in a whisper, "Young Master Yardley, it's about time to start the meeting."

Maddox nodded as usual.

As soon as Maddox agreed, Sam cleared his throat and raised his voice. He said, "Everyone, let's be quiet. The meeting is about to start. Please return to your seats and get ready."

After all, Sam was Maddox's right- hand man. Since he said so, it meant that Maddox was planning to start the meeting soon. They knew better than to continue to heap praise on Minerva. They soon fell silent and returned to their seats.

The meeting began.

Mabie brought Vera to check out the store she mentioned on Southway. It was located strategically. However, the rent was over the top. That was why although there were many potential tenants, no one wanted to rent this place.

More importantly, this store was quite different from the others.

The landlord had a weird personality. If anyone wanted to rent this store, they would have to abide by his rules. If they failed to do so, he would terminate the rental agreement and the tenant would have to move out immediately.

It was said that the previous tenant had breached one of his rules, that was why he terminated the rental agreement and was forced to move out.

When Vera followed Ralph, the real estate agent, into the store. She noticed that the shopfront looked relatively new. It seemed like not many people had rented this place. She could not help but ask, "What did the previous tenant do to make the landlord terminate the rental agreement?"

Ralph looked at Mabie, then at Vera. He said in a low voice, "Initially, we are not allowed to tell you the reason unless you decide to rent this place, but since it was my relatives who introduced you, then I'll be frank with you. The landlord has a weird personality. He has one request. If you decide to rent this place, you are not allowed to change the design of the shopfront. You're not allowed to refurbish a single thing."

As Ralph spoke, he looked around and said, "As you can see, the design of this store is different from the rest. Whoever rents this place is not allowed to refurbish the place. It's stated in the contract. If you breach the contract, then you will have to pay liquidated damages and move out. Everyone is afraid that gains would not make up for the losses. What's more, this design is not suitable for most businesses. This is also the reason why no one wants to rent this place even though the location is very strategic."

Not allowed to change the design of the shopfront?
