Maddox stared at her, his eyes as fierce as a beast.
Kimberly shrank back and bit her lip, repeating, "I won't change it!"
He asked, "Do you want to dress up like a pr*stitute tonight?"
Kimberly straightened her posture and raised her chin slightly, revealing her long, white neck. She said, "Everyone is dressed like this. Why am I the pr*stitute? Because in your eyes, I am that kind of woman, so you don't like whatever I wear. If that's the case, why should I care about your thoughts?"
Maddox frowned.
After saying that, Kimberly immediately pulled away her shawl, revealing her white shoulders. Then, she turned around and left.
Sam was speechless. He thought that Kimberly was playing with the fire, and she would burn herself up!
The air around Maddox suddenly became frigid and his hands clenched into fists.
His eyes turned gloomy as he looked at her petite figure walking away. Sam stammered behind him, "Do you want to go after Mrs. Yardley?"
"Who allowed you to call her that?" snapped Maddox.
Sam swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously and stuttered, "Did I say something wrong?" He had called Kimberly 'Mrs. Yardley1 in front of Maddox before. He wasn't angry then, but now...
"She's not my wife. She's just a sl*t, a shameless woman." Speaking of this, Maddox's thin lips curled up evilly and he added, "Since she wants to show off, then let her show off!"
Sam kept quiet.
He thought to himself, "I'm just afraid that later, when everyone really lay their eyes on Kimberly, you will dig their eyes out!"
However, Sam didn't dare to speak his mind and he kept his thoughts to himself. Maddox couldn't know what he was thinking.
Kimberly returned to her seat and sat down. Vera came over to her.
She asked, "Why were you in the washroom for so long? You didn't pick up your phone."
Phone? Thinking of this, Kimberly took out her mobile phone from her bag and clicked on it, only to find that her phone was switched off.
Oh no!
A sudden realization dawned on her, she had forgotten about something very important!
Quill had asked Juliette to bring her a dress on this day, but if her mobile phone was switched off, then Juliette couldn't get in touch with her...
At this thought, Kimberly asked in a hurry, "Does anyone has a power bank and a cable? My phone ran out of battery." Vera blinked and said, "It's a banquet. Who would bring those things here?"
"I did." Sylvia put her bag on the table and took out her cable and power bank, saying, "Here you go."
"Thank you, Sylvia." Kimberly quickly charged her mobile phone and turned it on.
Fortunately, her mobile phone was charged quite quickly. After she switched her phone on, she discovered the avalanche of missed calls and text messages waiting for her.
In addition to Vera's call, the others were all from Juliette.
Sylvia sat next to her and inadvertently looked at her. She then saw a familiar name on the screen and was stunned, asking, "Juliette? Isn't that my brother's secretary?"
Kimberly paused for a moment and nodded, "Yes."
Sylvia's heart skipped a beat and she inquired, "Why does Secretary Sharpio want to see you? She had called you so many times."
Kimberly thought of Quill telling Juliette to send her a dress. She decided not to tell Sylvia about it. So, she explained, "Maybe she had to tell me something about work."
"Oh." Hearing that it was about work, Sylvia remembered their cooperation. She then let out a sigh of relief and said, "I see."
Kimberly said, "Well, I'll call her back."
She got up from her seat and walked out with the power bank. Then, she called Juliette back. "Miss Shell," answered Juliette.
