In the end, she really didn't know what to say. Minerva could only shut her mouth and put down her hand in annoyance.
"What happened that day... I'm really sorry. I really got the wrong person. You have to believe me, I certainly didn't covet you. I applied for the job of the assistant secretary because I was simply attracted to your company, so... I want to come here to study."
"Oh." Maddox replied with a cold face, "Do you mean that I am not as attractive as the company?"
She was puzzled.
"No, that's not what I mean. I just..."
For the first time, she was flustered in front of Maddox and didn't know what to say. In a hurry, her delicate eyebrows frowned, and even her clear eyes were full of anxiety.
Maddox smiled when he saw how helpless she was.
Unexpectedly, this strange woman... was quite funny.
No, that wasn't right.
What was he doing?
He quickly came to his senses. He squinted his eyes and sized up the woman in front of him.
Her eyes were clear and her behavior was a little strange. Why should he waste his time with this woman here?
"Give me your hand."
She looked puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?"
He said impatiently, "Why are you wasting so much time talking? Just give me your hand."
Helplessly, she could only stretch out her hand.
Clink...
He threw the keys into her palm. Minerva was shocked as she looked at the keys that had appeared in her palm. Only then did she recognize that they were the keys that she had brought.
Why were the keys here? Did she drop them earlier?
However, if she had lost her keys, why would Maddox give them to her?
Upon thinking of this, Minerva instantly raised her head in surprise. Her clear eyes were filled with pleasant surprise as she asked, "You were waiting for me here to return the keys to me?"
Maddox replied, "Who said that I was waiting for you here?"
Minerva said, "No? Then why were you here when I came?"
"Ha." He sneered at her and said, "I just wanted to see what tricks you have up your sleeves. Now, it seems that not only do you think too much, but you are also self-conscious."
He said these words as if he had returned to five years ago...
Back when she had just married into the Yardley family, Maddox had just found out that she was a divorced woman and that it was a surrogate marriage. His attitude towards her had always been so vile.
The Maddox of five years ago and now seemed to have overlapped with each other.
It turned out that... Five years had passed, but Maddox was still Maddox. His original temper had not changed at all, but... it had changed for her.
For a moment, Minerva looked at him with emotions in her eyes.
He saw the emotions in her eyes because they were close. He saw her looking at him emotionally and thought that she was moved because of the keys.
