Kimberly followed Maddox into the meeting room, muttering grievances to herself.
Benedict was also among them. When his eyes met Kimberly, he flashed her a gentle and kind smile. Although Kimberly was in a bad mood, she still couldn't resist his spring breeze of a smile. It reduced the grievance in her heart a little, and she smiled back at him.
Maddox naturally saw this small interaction.
At this point, the cold energy on his body intensified a few folds.
Quill and Juliette had arrived. The vice president, Benedict, greeted them in person. As Kimberly looked at Benedict, she also saw Quill and Juliette sitting next to him.
Just like the day before, Quill was sitting there with an air of detachment as if there was no one in his eyes.
He looked down at the material in front of him. However, when Kimberly came over, he seemed to notice something and he looked up to meet her eyes. He nodded slightly at her.
Kimberly also nodded at him and then at Juliette.
The energy from Maddox was now tainted with a hint of hostility.
Ha, she was indeed a popular woman.
No matter where she went, someone would say hello and acknowledge her. She must be very smug on the inside.
After sitting down, Maddox knocked on the table with his slender fingers gently, ordering, "Coffee."
Kimberly nodded and said, "I'm on it."
After that, she walked out. She had to prepare everyone's coffee, and there was no one to help her. It was quite a difficult task for her.
As Kimberly carried a large tray of coffee into the meeting room, the meeting had already begun. Someone was giving a speech, so she couldn't make a sound. She placed the cups of coffee gently in front of the directors and managers respectively.
Benedict saw that she was struggling and went to help her. Kimberly looked at him gratefully, and then she sent over a cup of coffee to Quill.
Quill looked at the slender fingers on her pure white hands, which were as white as jade.
In his memory, when he was very young, his mother had this similar pair of hands. His mother's hands would open the textbook page by page in front of him, and she would patiently tell him all kinds of stories.
Finally, she would touch his head with her hands, and her voice was soft as she spoke,
"Quill, if you have a chance to find your sister, you must treat her well."
After his mother's death, Quill had tried his best to achieve this goal.
Two years ago, he finally found his sister, who was apparently lost since she was a child. However... his heart still felt empty. He always felt that he hadn't fulfilled his mother's expectations.
Kimberly's appearance had increased the emptiness in his heart a little.
This woman constantly overlapped with the figure in his memory. It was like an illusion.
She was the sister he had been looking for.
At this moment, Quill made a mental note to ask Juliette to investigate Kimberly's background after the meeting.
Juliette looked at Kimberly in surprise. She didn't expect that she could do so much work by herself. Looking at Maddox, who was looking ahead steadily in the main seat, Juliette thought of the scene in the restaurant from the day before.
She thought, "Men are really ruthless creatures!"
Bang!
When Kimberly came in with coffee for the second time, Benedict couldn't stand watching her struggling anymore. When he was about to stand up to help her, Quill made an eye gesture at him.
Juliette had followed Quill for many years and immediately understood what he meant. Juliette hurriedly got up to help Kimberly with the coffee before Benedict could get to her. She said in a whisper, "I'll help you."
Kimberly gawked at her and thanked, "Thank... thank you."
