Maddox's cold gaze swept past her. Then, he retracted his gaze and said coldly, "I'm not free."
Minerva was at a loss for words.
He acted as if he hadn't eaten dinner at her place last night, or helped her in the kitchen.
Hence, Minerva recalled what Geoffrey had told her that he was getting engaged when she was walking.
The bitterness in her rose up. Minerva secretly bit her lower lip and said, "It's okay. I've already had my lunch."
Geoffrey looked back at her in surprise, and with a look seemed to say, "When did you eat? Didn't I look for you in the canteen?"
"I thought you called me over for work- related matters, and since it's not, I'll go back to the secretary's office."
After saying that, Minerva didn't care about their reaction and went straight back to the secretary's office.
Well, she had advised herself constantly not to go into a dead-end and not to be unreasonable. He was a man with amnesia. He was innocent and did not know anything.
But she was still very uncomfortable in her heart, and bitterness kept coming up.
After taking two steps, Geoffrey caught up with her and said in a low voice, "Minerva, didn't we just talk about it? Why did you suddenly..."
"I'm not hungry. You guys can go eat. I'll go back first," Minerva interrupted him.
After Minerva left, Geoffrey was still standing in the same place in a daze. He was extremely regretful. If he hadn't talked nonsense a moment ago, nothing would have happened. It was all his fault!
Thinking of this, Geoffrey turned back and glared at Maddox.
Maddox was confused.
"Forget it. Since none of us are eating and you're not available, I'll go back," he said.
Maddox did not make him stay. When he passed by the secretary's office, Maddox glanced into the room subconsciously, but he did not see the woman.
He couldn't help but frown, and his steps slowed down.
He didn't see her, thus, Maddox left.
Minerva didn't have lunch and couldn't sleep. She could only go to the canteen to eat some food.
When she went out, she ran into Lolita.
"Minerva, are you alright?" Lolita asked.
"Hmm?" Minerva's expression was a little confused, "What's wrong?" she asked.
"Geoffrey came to look for you at the canteen a moment ago," Lolita replied.
Minerva nodded and replied, "I know."
"You know?" Lolita's eyes widened, "Why did he keep looking for you? Is it because of the president?" she said.
Minerva stared at her seriously and said, "Don't be so nosy. It's not a good thing to know too much."
Lolita curled her lips and said, "Well, I'll stop gossiping, okay? However, you have to stay away from Geoffrey. He... doesn't have a good reputation."
"Thank you for the reminder. I got it," Minerva replied.
Lolita felt that Minerva was not having a good mood today. Moreover, her character was that kind of person who didn't want to share and interact with others. How could she be so introverted? She didn't know what to say, thus she took her leave.
In the afternoon, Linda asked Minerva to prepare a cup of coffee for Maddox.
When Minerva was making coffee, she thought of what Geoffrey said to her at noon, she was so angry that she added several pieces of rock sugar into his cup and sent it to Linda.
Linda was busy with her work and said, "I can't leave now. You can send the coffee to the president's office."
