Prior to what Geoffrey had said, Maddox understood that he could take care of a small matter like his engagement with Monica.
Hence, he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
After the engagement issue was solved, everything would go back to normal. Everyone would live normally and do what they had to do.
However, after hearing what Geoffrey said, Maddox felt that his plan had been disrupted before it could be commenced.
It was just like a Gomoku chess game. He had clearly laid out the strategy in the game well. However, an aggressive animal had come all of a sudden and knocked down his chess. Now, all his efforts were in vain.
Thinking of this, Maddox's aura suddenly turned cold. He looked at Geoffrey as if he was looking at a dead man.
The gloomy and cold aura Maddox emitted made Geoffrey take two steps back unconsciously, he coughed to defend himself.
"Collins, I really can't be blamed for this. You didn't tell me anything, did you? Also, When I called your assistant, she didn't answer the phone and I almost blew up her phone with many calls I made. I thought she was angry because she knew about this..."
Maddox's tone sounded gloomy.
"Who told you to poke your nose into other people's business? You really have nothing to do?" Geoffrey took a few more steps back. "No, I'm really busy, I'm just doing it out of convenience. Well, since I've already told you about it, I'll excuse myself first."
After saying that, Geoffrey turned around and ran away, without looking at Maddox's reaction.
After running for a long time, Geoffrey looked back with his hand covering his chest. When he saw Maddox walking towards the garage, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He hoped that he did not screw things up this time. If they could not be together because of him, he would have to offer his life as an apology.
After wandering around the streets for a long time, Minerva realized that it was late and finally realized that she had to go home.
So she flagged down a taxi and went straight to her home entrance. After paying the fare, she got off and was ready to take out her keys when a cold masculine voice sounded from the darkness
on her left.
"Where did you go?"
The cold voice suddenly rang out, causing Minerva to jump in shock. She let out a cry of alarm and the keys in her hand also fell to the ground.
She was already thinking about something, and there was not much light. Besides that, the taxi left right away after she got off.
Minerva turned to look at the source of the voice.
In the darkness, a small flame was dancing. If she didn't mishear the familiar voice just now, it should be Maddox...
When she thought of Maddox, Minerva recalled immediately that he had gone to discuss his engagement.
Having been in a state of dejection for an entire night, Minerva had enough of this feeling. She forced herself to calm down and bent down to look for the keys that she had just dropped.
However, his pair of hands acted faster and picked up her key.
"Why don't you answer me?"
Minerva remained silent.
Under the faint moonlight, she reached out for the keys in his hand and said, "Thank you, I went out for dinner with my friend."
She took the key and unconsciously brushed his palm with her soft fingers.
In that instant, Maddox did not know what was going on. He wanted to grab her hand and have her stay back.
However, just as he was in a daze, Minerva took the keys back and opened the door.
Maddox watched silently as she did all this. He put out the cigarette in his hand and followed her in.
After taking a few steps, Minerva realised that he was following her, hence she stopped.
"You?"
"It is too dark. I'll see you upstairs."
Minerva went speechless.
She actually wanted to ask him, why did he come here to see her at such a late time? Wasn't he going to discuss his engagement? Wasn't it ironic for him to be with her right after the discussion?
