"Nice view?"
Minerva was still thinking; it was fun that he kissed her without knowing it.
When she heard what he said, she subconsciously nodded her head.
However, it didn't take long for her to realize that something was wrong.
She and Maddox were the only two people left in the office. Who else could ask her that question other than him?
She came to her senses and realized that he had already stood up. His gaze landed on her face and he was looking at her mockingly, asking her this question.
Her ears were a little hot and she was stunned.
She could only pretend that nothing had happened. She turned her head and continued to wipe the windowsill like a machine.
Da-da...
Footsteps approached her from behind as if Maddox was walking. The steady footstep slowly approached her, as if he was stepping on her heart with every step.
As he got closer and closer, Minerva's heartbeat picked up speed.
She also did not know what was going on. It was obvious that they were familiar with each other even though he didn't recognize her now.
Why was she still restless when he was trying to get close to her?
She clutched the wet towel in her hand. Just as she was about to turn around and flee, she bumped into Maddox's chest.
"Ah!"
In the next second, he opened his hands and trapped her in his arms.
She subconsciously put her hands in front of her chest. She stared at him with wide eyes and disbelief.
What was he doing? He was obviously avoiding her on that day, but why did he suddenly come over to her?
"You joined the Collins Corporation for me, right?"
His eyes were cold, but his tone was a little sinister. The tall figure stood in front of her and looking from behind, he almost covered her completely.
"You did it on purpose that day at the gate." He wasn't asking; he was sure.
She didn't know what to say.
Of course, she couldn't admit it. If she had joined the company because of him, she would have been kicked out by him. After all, this Maddox was different from the previous one.
Hence, she shook her head forcefully and denied it.
Although she kept denying and shaking her head in front of him, her clear eyes were full of panic, as if she was telling a lie.
What was more... There seemed to be some other emotion.
However, he could not tell what it was.
He was squinting his eyes and bending down; he wanted to get closer to her to see more clearly.
Just like that, she saw him leaning closer and closer to her. His warm breath even sprayed on her face, making her heart beat faster and faster.
Dong...
A sound came from the door, waking her up.
George stood at the door of the office, looking at this scene with a shocked face.
She came back to her senses and rushed out of Maddox's arms. She ran out of the office as if she was being chased by someone. When she ran past George, he was still staring at her with interest.
After she left, George chuckled with one hand in his pocket.
