"I... like Maddox?" Kimberly stuttered upon hearing Vera. She blinked her eyes for a long while, shaking her head. "No, I don't like him!"
"Haha, liar!"
Vera did not hesitate to tease Kimberly as she smiled, "You do like him!"
"No! I don't like him!" Kimberly pouted and refused to admit that she liked Maddox.
Although she was totally drunk, yet in her subconscious mind, liking Maddox was her secret. She thought... she should keep it as a secret to herself for life, and no one else should know.
After all, it seemed ridiculous to fall in love with Maddox.
She was a nobody and not outstanding at all. She was not worthy of Maddox, who was among the top of the society. It was ridiculous that a woman like her, Kimberly, who had her reputation stained by a divorce, would like him.
Kimberly couldn't hold back her laughter until it brought tears to her eyes. Under the reflection of the light, her teary eyes looked identical to a vast ocean.
"Ah, I seem to be looking at the ocean!" Vera suddenly exclaimed, next reached out to grab Kimberly.
When she accidentally caught Kimberly's hair, Kimberly cried out in pain, "Ouch, you caught my hair."
"Is it? I'm sorry." Vera retreated her hand. "But I really saw an ocean..." She was cut off by a burp.
Having said that, Vera burped again.
Kimberly touched her painful scalp where she was pulled by Vera, then laid down on the table, immediately recalling the handsome face of Maddox.
She hated him. Why did she bother to think of Maddox at this point in time? She was so assertive about divorcing him but somehow could not resist thinking about him.
Unless... her affection towards Maddox was more than her hatred?
"Ringing..."
The phone on the table rang at once, but no one answered it after a long time. The two girls were drunk and they were busy toasting. The phone rang and went silent, and then it rang again and again.
"Ah! It's so noisy!" Finally, Vera became irritated that she shouted with anger. Subsequently, she smashed the bottle on the table before getting up to pick up the phone, querying, "Who is it?"
The voice was full of anger!
Upon hearing the voice, Maddox couldn't help but frown.
This was obviously not Kimberly's voice. He pursed his lips and questioned coldly, "Who are you?"
"Hmm?" Vera seemed to be a little familiar with the voice. "Who am I? It has nothing to do with you. Weren't you the one who called? Burp! How dare you ask me who I am? I'll kill you!"
Maddox was utterly lost for words.
A moment later, a cold voice sounded again, "Are you Vera?"
"Hey, how do you know my name?"
"Where is Kimberly?"
"Kimberly... Who is Kimberly?" Vera burped again. She must be out of her mind.
Maddox was certain that Vera was drunk. She was holding Kimberly's phone and was saying all sorts of nonsense. Maybe Kimberly was also...
Maddox instantly turned icy, and even his tone had gotten more intense, "Tell me where she is, otherwise... your year-end bonus is gone."
