Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 148

"Since when do you have the right to negotiate with your superior?" Maddox asked impatiently.

Kimberly held her bag tighter and became a little annoyed. She retorted, "Even if I work overtime, I can't sort all this out in a short time. Can I take them back and sort them out at night?"

She wanted to compromise.

"No," he said curtly.

Maddox did not give in at all.

Kimberly had no choice. She thought for a moment and decided to meet Sylvia the next day.

Thinking of this, she did not say anything more. Instead, she looked away from Maddox's stubborn eyes and walked towards her seat without saying a word.

Working overtime was not something difficult for her. Kimberly decided to do as he wished.

And so, Kimberly went back to work. On the other hand, Sam was already pushing Maddox away.

After he left, Kimberly took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Sylvia to tell her that she might not be able to leave. She then changed her appointment for another day.

Two minutes after she sent the message, Sylvia quickly called her.

"What's going on? I thought you agreed to have dinner tonight? Why did you suddenly change the timing?"

Sylvia sounded a little anxious and uneasy.

It took her a lot of effort to decide to tell Kimberly the answer. She was afraid she couldn't keep the secret any longer. She totally did not expect Kimberly to cancel the appointment last minute.

Sylvia panicked in an instant.

She wondered if Kimberly had noticed something.

Kimberly looked at the pile of documents in front of her and felt a headache. She said, "I'm sorry, Sylvia. I didn't mean to bail on you. I have something to do today, so I can't make it for dinner tonight."

Sylvia asked, "What about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow... I can only let you know tomorrow," replied Kimberly.

Sylvia frowned, "What on earth is going on? Why are you so busy?"

Kimberly said helplessly, "I need to work overtime."

The other side of the phone remained silent for a while, and then Sylvia said, "Are you alone?"

Kimberly looked around and nodded, "Yes."

Sylvia then said, "Let me accompany you and bring you dinner then. What do you want to eat?"

Hearing this, Kimberly felt a sense of warmth in her heart. She said, "I am not picky, but it will be a waste of time for you to come here to accompany me, isn't that so?"

Sylvia brushed it off and said, "Hey, stop being so polite with me. Wait for me. I'll be there in an hour."

After hanging up the phone, Kimberly looked at Sylvia's profile picture on her phone.

Her best friend, Sylvia.

She treated Kimberly so nicely. How could she be anything like what Vera had said?

It was impossible. Sylvia would never betray her.

Kimberly put her mobile phone away and continued working.

She didn't know how long she had been working when the elevator door suddenly opened. Sylvia emerged from the corridor with two food boxes in her hands. She shouted, "These are so heavy. Kimberly, come and help me." Kimberly suddenly realized that it had been an hour since Sylvia's phone call.

She quickly got up to help Sylvia carry the food boxes.

Then, Sylvia followed her to the table. She saw the files piled up on Kimberly's desk and she didn't have anywhere to put the food down.

She could not help but say, "D*mn it, what's going on here? Why are there so many documents?"

Kimberly's eyes darkened and she whispered, "It's okay. I'll tidy up so that we have space to eat. Give me ten minutes."
