Did she just ask him to stay for dinner?
Maddox wondered if Geoffrey had texted her, but her question successfully diverted his attention.
Stay for dinner?
"Are you inviting me to stay?" He asked, staring at her with his dark and mesmerizing gaze.
Minerva nodded and said, "Yes, there are some ingredients in the refrigerator. I can make us dinner."
"You can cook?"
Maddox seemed a little surprised and couldn't help but ask.
But soon, he realized that what he said was wrong. Hence, he corrected himself, "No, wait, who knows what you're going to cook."
With that, Minerva's expression turned sad instantly, making her look much like a kicked puppy. She sighed, "Even though I can't be considered professional at cooking, how can you say something like that when you haven't tried it?"
Maddox had no comeback to that.
He frowned. Why was she so disappointed? It's just a meal.
"If... if you're worried, I can ask Geoffrey to come over..."
Maddox interrupted her coldly before she could finish her sentence, "Do you have a good relationship with him?"
"Huh?" Minerva blinked her eyes and shook her head subconsciously, replying, "Not really. Aren't you two friends? I just want to..."
"You don't need to ask him to come over," Maddox interrupted her again.
"So...you're going to stay?" Minerva asked carefully.
Maddox pursed his thin lips as he felt rather awkward right now. When he was thinking about how to refuse her so that she would not feel too upset, he saw a smile appear on her face as she said, "Please sit down for a while. I'll go and prepare the food."
After saying that, she ran towards the kitchen, moving so quickly as if she was trying to escape.
Maddox watched her figure as she left the room as he recalled what Geoffrey had said to him earlier. He had a feeling that... he might have been set up by someone.
The woman in front of him seemed to be in high spirits and energetic. In other words, she didn't seem to be ill at all.
That d*mned Geoffrey. He made up all those lies just to get him to come over. Honestly, he really would go to any lengths to achieve his goals.
Maddox did not have an excuse to leave, so he looked around before he sat down. Then, he lowered his head and looked at the coat he was holding.
He thought of what happened earlier in the room.
A pair of red underwear...
Stop.
Maddox managed to control his thoughts in time. He had to stop thinking about it.
If he thought about it further, the pervert here wouldn't be his assistant, but him instead.
However, most of the time, the more one wanted to control their thoughts, the more they would occupy one's mind.
Right now, this was exactly how Maddox couldn't stop thinking about the silhouette and shape of the underwear. He looked at the coat in his hand again, and it felt like he was holding something burning hot.
A while later, he threw the coat aside immediately.
Forget it, he'd better not take it back.
At least it saved him from thinking about it all the time.
Meanwhile, Minerva was busy cooking in the kitchen with a smile on her face.
The Facebook message she received was from Geoffrey, and of course, it was about Maddox.
At first, she really thought that Maddox was here to get his coat. However, Geoffrey told her that he told Maddox she was not feeling well, causing Maddox to rush out of the house. Thus, he asked her if Maddox had come to see her.
When she saw this message, Minerva felt as if her heart was engulfed by something warm and sweet.
To top it off... her heart was beating faster.
