Where did she go? Kimberly Shell was so nervous that her tongue was tied in a knot, "I..."
No, Maddox only knew that she went out, but he didn't know what she went out for. Therefore, she couldn't mess this up.
Thinking of this, Kimberly took a deep breath to calm herself down and whispered, "I went out to buy something."
"How should I punish you for leaving the office for private matters during your work time?"
Kimberly's lips moved and she wanted to say something.
Sam glanced at her and explained, "Yardley Corporation has a rule that you are not allowed to leave without permission during work hours. You must get permission from your superior. Assistant Shell, your immediate superior is the Young Master. You left the office without permission before you got his approval, hence we will have to deduct a month of your salary as a warning."
Hearing this, Kimberly's eyes widened.
"Deduct a month's salary?" She had been working for a few days only.
If her salary for this month was deducted. Didn't that mean that she won't be able to get her salary for a long time?
"Yes, Assistant Shell. This is the company's policy." Kimberly glanced at Maddox and her lips twitched. "I'm sorry, I didn't know... Can I..."
"No!" Maddox was decisive. He did not give her any chance at all.
Well, it was indeed her fault. She left the office without saying anything. It was the company's policy, and the employees of the company must be treated equally. She had nothing to complain about.
Kimberly lowered her eyes and looked at her toes. She did not defend herself anymore.
The enclosed space was quiet, and even the sound of their breathing could be heard. Maddox was a little surprised that she didn't say anything anymore, but after thinking it over, he understood.
Why would a materialistic woman like her care about a month's salary?
Hah.
Even if she refused to speak now, she would tell the truth sooner or later.
After leaving the elevator, Kimberly watched Sam and Maddox leave, and then she went to the door which was not far away. When she saw Sylvia's car waiting for her from a distance, she was happy and quickly walked over.
As soon as Kimberly opened the door and got in the car, she heard Sylvia asking when she was fastening her seat belt.
"Isn't that your husband's car?"
Hearing what she said, Kimberly looked up and saw that Maddox's car was coming out of the parking lot. So she nodded and said, "Yes, but he is not my husband."
"Pfft, you both are already married. How could he not be your husband?"
"You're acting as if you don't know about that agreement. It's just a deal."
Hearing this, Sylvia Hanover reached out her hand to hold her chin and said, "It's fine. I heard that the Second Young Master of the Yardley Corporation is not... very good at it."
Kimberly stopped and glanced at Sylvia.
"What? You understand what I'm saying, right?"
Kimberly didn't know what to say.
Sylvia stealthily came over and asked, "Have you both ever had sex since you both got married?"
Kimberly blushed and bit her lower lip. "Why would we?"
"Just as I said, the rumors must be true."
"Don't talk nonsense, Sylvia. We won't do it."
"Why not? You're both married. If he doesn't have any problem with that, why hadn't you both have sex yet?"
"There must be a reason for that." Kimberly lowered her eyes so that no one could see the emotions in her eyes. "He doesn't like me at all. It's normal that he doesn't want to be intimate with me. You can't say that he's impotent because of that."
