"Aren't we getting a divorce?" Kimberly took a deep breath and concluded, "Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get the paperwork done."
Kimberly could not care less about Maddox's reaction. She was relieved after speaking her mind.
Perhaps, she longed for a divorce too.
Even if they stuck together, they would never trust each other. They would never be happy by spending the rest of their lives together.
Divorce would be the best choice.
Kimberly raised her head and bit her lower lip. "Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Maddox. After settling all the procedures, I won't bother you again."
As soon as she raised her head, Kimberly was shocked to find that Maddox was in front of her. Immediately, he reached out his hand to pinch her chin.
"Get a divorce?" Maddox narrowed his eyes dangerously and stared at her closely. He could feel a layer of powder when he pinched her chin.
The texture of the powder made Maddox frown. Back then, he could feel her soft skin whenever he touched her face. Her skin was smooth and flawless but... All he could feel was powder.
He was very unhappy. Why did she become like that?
"Yeah." The warmth from his fingers surprised Kimberly. Yet, she came back to her senses and grabbed the cuff of his sleeve. She yanked his hand away and continued flatly, "Sorry to disappoint you but I don't think you can attend a meeting today. Let's go and get done with it."
"You're so eager to get rid of us? You're trying to elope with your lover?"
Maddox's lips curled mockingly. His eyes were cold.
She did not reply and he continued to stare at her.
A moment later, someone knocked on the door. Sam reminded, "The meeting is about to start."
Maddox came to his senses and sneered, "Sure, let'a get it done with but I don't have time now. Wait in the lounge."
Maddox maneuvered his wheelchair to the door.
Kimberly caught up with him and asked, "How long will it take? There should be a set time, right?"
"Oh, it's only been a few days but you forgot how long meetings would take in Yardley Corporation? Or will you recall it after experiencing it again?"
Kimberly was rooted to the spot.
Meetings would take at least two hours. She pondered for a moment and asked, "Are we going to settle the divorce right after the meeting?"
He did not answer as he headed for the door.
"Okay, I'll wait for two hours in the lounge."
Kimberly turned her heels and went to the lounge without waiting for Maddox to reply. She took a long stride and disappeared from view. Maddox frowned.
That woman... It had only been a few days but she acted like a different person.
"It's time for the meeting," Sam reminded again.
"I know," Maddox answered impatiently and gave him a cold look.
In the lounge.
Kimberly waited on her own.
Maddox did not have a secretary and Sam followed him into the meeting room. Therefore, she stayed in the lounge and no one entertained her. Fortunately, Kimberly was very familiar with the place. The meeting would last over two hours, hence she decided to make herself comfortable. She got up to make some tea in the pantry and read the magazine.
If one were to wait, one hour would be very difficult, let alone two hours.
