Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 174

"I can manage." Kimberly pursed her lips and looked at Lincoln coldly, "No matter what I will suffer in the future, it has nothing to do with you. I hope that you don't harass me anymore. Don't you remember one of our company's rules? The staff are not allowed to be in a relationship. If I remember correctly, you are married, right? You are a married man, and yet you have harassed a single girl like me many times. I can directly report it to the supervisor. By then..."

As she spoke, the look in Lincoln's eyes became cruel.

He seethed, "I didn't expect you to be so cruel. Don't you remember that you are working under me? Aren't you afraid that I will kick you out of Yardley Corporation?

"Mr. Maxwell, since when do you have the authority to simply kick an employee out of Yardley Corporation?"

Before Kimberly could speak, a male voice with an icy tone came from behind her.

The voice was vaguely familiar to her. Lincoln saw the person and called out in a fluster, "Vice President Yardley, what brings you here?"

It was Benedict.

Kimberly was nervous when she heard Benedict's name. Her back stiffened and she subconsciously wanted to run away from him. She had been avoiding Benedict recently. Whether it was in the company or the Yardley family, she had always pretended that she didn't see him.

Now, he was right behind her.

Benedict said, "Lincoln, who gave you the power to dismiss a staff like that?"

Although Benedict was a vice president, he had usually treated people gently and politely. However, nobody could ignore his presence when he was being solemn.

Lincoln was so scared that he bowed and answered in a trembling voice, "Vice President Yardley... I... This girl is being lazy, so I threatened her to scare her. I didn't really mean it."

"Really?" Benedict looked at him coldly and said, "Is she lazy, or is it because you failed to harass her?"

Lincoln was frightened. He smiled awkwardly and said, "You must be joking. How could I harass her?"

"Do you think I didn't hear what you said just now?" asked Benedict.

Lincoln couldn't say a word. His legs suddenly went limp and he fell to the ground, begging, "I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."

Benedict obviously didn't want to talk to him anymore. He warned in a cold voice, "Listen, even if she is demoted to your department now, she is not someone you can mess with. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand..." Lincoln nodded vigorously.

"Get lost," growled Benedict. Kimberly was stunned to hear such words coming from the gentle Benedict, and she looked at him in astonishment. His usual warm eyes were now stone cold, and he looked completely different.

So, did this prove that everyone had two sides? Benedict was so gentle all the time, but he actually had such a cold and decisive side to him.

While Kimberly was deep in thought, Benedict had turned around and was looking at her.

After their eyes met, Kimberly suddenly thought of something and turned to leave.

However, Benedict caught up with her and stopped her.

He asked, "Did I do something wrong? Why do you keep running away as soon as you see me?"

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

She did not speak. After a moment of silence, she turned to the right. Benedict showed no sign of giving up and continued to follow and blocked her path. When Kimberly moved to the left, Benedict did the same again. Finally, she was annoyed and turned around to scurry away.

However, Benedict quickly held her arm and stopped her from leaving.

"Let me go!" Kimberly was anxious to get rid of him. There were a lot of people from the company. If someone saw that she was with Benedict, rumors would start to spread again.

And if Maddox knew about it...
