Kimberly nodded. "Is there any problem with that?"
Kimberly was staring at Maddox the whole time when she raised that question, trying to spot the changes in his expression.
It was the first time Maddox avoided her gaze. Instead, he looked elsewhere and uttered coldly, "No."
"Oh, I'm going to be on leave today then. I'll leave first."
Kimberly grabbed her handbag and walked out of the door.
"Stop right there," Maddox suddenly called out.
Kimberly was rooted to the spot. Maddox did not realize the sullen look on Kimberly's face from the back. Her expression changed substantially when she was facing him.
"Are you sure you're going out with her alone? Not anyone else?"
Upon hearing this, Kimberly turned around and smiled at him.
"Do you think that I'll go on a date with another man behind your back?"
Maddox frowned unhappily and glared at her with a solemn look.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in such things. Besides, if I was really going on dates with men, I wouldn't have flaunted myself that much in front of you."
Kimberly left the room immediately after finishing her words.
As he was looking at her retreating figure, Maddox felt like he had an unfathomable feeling, as if he had lost something.
This feeling caught him off guard.
When Kimberly arrived downstairs, she coincidentally met Benedict who was preparing to leave the house.
Their eyes met, and Benedict's eyes were gleaming with a sparkle of amazement. Soon he was puzzled, why would Kimberly suddenly doll herself up when she always dressed up in a simple manner?
Before he was able to react, he strode towards Kimberly.
"Kimberly, are you going out?"
He queried hurriedly.
Kimberly nodded and stated, "Yes, good morning, Brother."
The way she addressed him made Benedict's eyes darken for a bit. After a while, he seemed to have it all figured out. "Good morning, you are all dolled up today. Is there someone important that you are going to meet?"
"No, I'm just going shopping with a friend."
"Do you need me to give you a ride?" Benedict remarked as he shook the keys in his hand, "I'm heading out as well." Kimberly wanted to reject him at first, but just as she looked up, she came across a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. Kimberly paused, nodding. "Sure."
Benedict noticed her reaction, and he curled his lips, "Let's go then."
"Okay." Kimberly walked forward. Benedict suddenly looked up, and glanced at the figure, meeting the eagle-like gaze at the same time.
Benedict was usually gentle. However, this time he put on a winning smile, as he strode towards Kimberly and walked alongside her. "Have you had breakfast yet? Do you want to grab some food on the way there?"
Kimberly blinked and nodded her head. "Sure."
Benedict was clueless of what had happened between her and Maddox. He had no idea about the reason for her drastic change. Nevertheless, it didn't mean much to him either. As long as Kimberly was willing to give him a chance, he would surely seize the opportunity to express his feelings to her.
To him, that was enough.
After getting into the car, Kimberly took out her mobile phone and messaged Sylvia, asking her to meet at the bubble tea store near the school.
When Sylvia saw that Kimberly requested to meet at the bubble tea store, Sylvia replied to her with a question mark.
Another reply came in, "Why would you want to meet me in the bubble tea store all of a sudden?"
