"Since Young Master Yardley is a client in this deal, he decided the venue for this meeting," Sam replied in an indifferent manner.
Minerva paused for a moment. However, she did not protest the arrangement.
Yes, he was her client and his preference was the most important. He could book any venue he wanted.
Minerva didn't know where Maddox would take her, nor did she know how long it would take to arrive there. Therefore, she sent a text message to Vera, telling her that if Minerva hadn't gone home after work, Vera should pick Beanie up. Vera didn't need to wait for her.
After sending the text message, Minerva felt relieved and put the phone back in her bag. Then, she leaned against her seat and closed her eyes to rest.
At first, she just wanted to have a rest, but she fell asleep in the end. When she woke up, the car was not moving. It was quiet all around and Sam was no longer in the car.
Minerva looked around and realized she was at a restaurant close to the beach.
In the restaurant, a familiar figure could be seen from a distance.
It was Maddox.
Minerva rubbed her eyes with her hands and tidied up her clothes. Then, she pushed open the door and got out of the car, walking in the direction of Maddox.
Since she was already there, there was no need to put on a false front.
She approached him right away and sat down before him.
"You're awake?"
Although Maddox was already aware that she had woken up the moment she got out of the car, nevertheless, the calm manner she walked up to him caused his confidence to waver.
After all, it was the first time Minerva invited him out.
The waiter came over to their table and asked, "Miss, what would you like?"
Minerva smiled slightly and said, "A cup of coffee, please. Thank you."
She had just woken up and was feeling a little tired.
"Okay, please wait for a moment."
The waiter left. Minerva studied the interior decor of the restaurant. The theme color was blue, which matched the color of the sea.
The both of them remained silent. When the coffee was served, Minerva thanked the waiter. Then, she picked up a spoon to stir the coffee in the cup.
"Mr. Yardley."
She addressed him politely and formally.
Maddox then frowned unhappily and said, "If you are here to talk about business, you can call me Mr. Yardley, but you are not allowed to talk about any private matters in the following time. However, if you are here to talk about private matters, then... Call me by my name."
He really couldn't stand to hear her call him 'Mr. Yardley'. The way she addressed him made it seem like he was a stranger to her.
Upon hearing that, Minerva's hand stopped stirring her coffee. A moment later, she looked up at the person in front of her and said, "Alright, then let's not talk about work today. Let's talk about personal matters."
Maddox's gaze was fixed on her. "Then why won't you call me by my name?"
Minerva was silent for a moment.
"Do you have to make things difficult for me?"
"Do you think I'm making things difficult for you?" Maddox frowned. "What did I do to make things difficult for you?"
