Both of them fell silent.
Sam couldn't believe his eyes when he saw it. He rubbed his eyes a little before he read the sentence again.
Maddox was baffled as well. He stared blankly at the red dot and the sentence that followed it and turned to narrow his eyes at Sam after.
"What does that mean?" Maddox asked.
The message had been sent, yet it had been rejected by the other party.
Sam bit his lip and looked troubled, refusing to answer Maddox's question.
"Sam," Maddox said his name sternly, shooting him a death stare.
Sam laughed drily at that and started to explain gingerly, "Young Master Yardley, that means that you've been blacklisted.¹'
Sam's words had left him flabbergasted.
"Blacklisted?"
"Yes. It's because the other party got hold of your personal details through your friend request. Then, they manually put you on their blacklist..." Sam explained to Maddox.
Maddox began to look more and more crestfallen as Sam continued.
After Sam had finished explaining it all to Maddox, he hurriedly kept his mouth shut when he caught a glimpse of the other man's expression.
He had only meant to articulate the situation more clearly to Maddox. He did not mean to get himself into trouble.
Veins were bulging out of Maddox's forehead and his grip tightened on his phone involuntarily as he asked, "Well, does this mean that the other party knows who I am?"
Sam nodded his head numbly, "That should be the case. Otherwise, I don't think she would've blacklisted you..."
Maddox remained silent, his gaze still unwavering from the Facebook page.
He had never expected her to blacklist him as soon as she added him as a friend.
He was disappointed by this turn of events.
Blinking his eyes, Sam started to speak, "Perhaps... Perhaps it had been a mistake?"
Maddox shot him a cold glare, mouth twisting into a frown.
"President Yardley, what do you think about this matter? Don't you think that old man was pathetic?"
The two men who had been arguing fiercely with each other earlier on turned their gazes towards Maddox at once. After all, it was meaningless for them to argue as the final decision did not lay with them.
Maddox raised his head and glanced at them callously, "What is it?"
The two men stared at him, mouth agape with shock, "President Yardley?"
Sam hurriedly whispered to Maddox, ''They're arguing about the development of the Ford Corporation's land."
"Oh. Well, I'll need some time to think that through. Let's call it a day for now," Maddox said, curling his lips into a smile.
Everyone merely stared at him, at a loss for words.
Maddox paid no attention to their reaction. He then walked towards the office with his phone in hand.
He could not get his mind off that d*mn woman.
After approving his friend request, she had immediately blacklisted him.
It was like she already knew who he was.
However, wasn't it plain rude to treat her future client in such a manner?
It was immensely frustrating.
After returning to his office, Maddox decided to use his other Facebook accounts to add her. He did not receive any responses at all.
After contemplating over it a little, Maddox decided that she must have figured out it was him.
He had utilized so many accounts to add her the night before after all. She was smart enough to have guessed it.
