Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 416

"Did you know that the same tactic would not work twice?¹'

Minerva did not succeed this time.

Maddox had anticipated her moves. As such, he restrained her leg movement as she wanted to kick him.

Maddox was much stronger than her. Minerva was able to harm him earlier on because Maddox was engrossed in her fragrant scent. Besides, he didn't expect that she would catch him completely off guard by kicking him in the nuts.

It wouldn't work on him if she used the same tactics the second time.

Minerva scowled at him defiantly, "Let me go."

Maddox smiled wickedly, "What will you do after I let you go? Continue to kick me in the nuts? Do you think I'm so stupid that I'll fall for your trap?"

Minerva took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

She bit her lower lip, whispering, "Mr. Yardley, I promise I won't do it again. Please let me go. Can we discuss work?"

"Discuss work?" Maddox let out a chuckle. "Alright, let's talk about work."

Minerva initially thought that he had agreed to it, but he was still restraining her movements, causing her to be unable to move.

Minerva stretched out her hands and shoved him away, but to no avail.

"Mr. Yardley, are you kidding me?¹' Minerva was cold-eyed.

Maddox's eyes darkened as well. He bent his head forward, far too close for comfort. "Do you think I'm joking?"

The entire office was enveloped in his icy aura.

Knock, knock.

There were startling knocks on the door at that moment.

Minerva said coldly, "Someone's coming."

"Nobody will enter without my permission..."

Before he finished his words, the office door was pushed open. The two shareholders, Paul and John came in together with livid faces. They were the ones who had been in a heated argument previously.

"Let's find President Yardley! Anyway, I totally disagree with you!"

"Well, let's go and ask President Yardley about his opinion! I really don't believe that he will listen to you!"

They strutted in, yet they stopped simultaneously after witnessing the scene. They gaped at Maddox and Minerva in bewilderment.

Minerva gritted her teeth. "Didn't you say that they wouldn't come in?"

Maddox's mouth twitched. D*mn, these two old men!

His eyes were gleaming mischievously and he curled his lip. "Wait for me."

After he finished speaking, he wrapped his arm around Minerva and pulled her to her feet. Subsequently, he pulled her behind him at once.

"President Yardley?" Paul felt a little awkward and subconsciously pulled at one of the ends of his moustache.

John said with a smile, "Oh, President Yardley actually..."

"Get out of here." However, Paul and John froze for a second as soon as they heard Maddox.

Their expression changed instantly. John shot him a stern look. "Maddox! Even if you are the president, you shouldn't despise the elders! Why are you ordering us to leave?"

Paul solely took a step forward and stopped John. "We have interrupted President Yardley. Certainly, he won't be pleased and wants us to get out of here."

"Come again?"

"I mean, we will make a move now."
