"Hm?"
Minerva thought that she had misheard, or she was experiencing hallucination. Otherwise, how could she have heard Maddox saying that Geoffrey's proposal was not bad?
She looked at the person in front of her in shock. His handsome deep brows were arched attractively like waves. Besides that, perhaps it was because he had not drank water for a long time, hence his lips looked a little chapped. He bent over towards her.
"That's a rather good idea. We can consider it seriously. What do you think?"
Minerva stayed rooted to the ground.
He was very close to her, and the hot breath out of his mouth was constantly skimming through her, giving her a very unreal feeling.
Minerva heard herself asking him in a very light tone.
"Can we, really?"
After asking, she blinked nervously and asked, "Are you willing to.. go back to Hidalgo with me?"
There was a hint of tremor in her voice, perhaps due to excitement. If Maddox was really willing to accompany her back to Hidalgo, things would be much simpler.
When she was back at Hidalgo, there were many people there to accompany her and shield her. Unlike now, she was alone.
Maddox's hand reached through her underarms to lift her up and carry her onto his lap. Minerva wasn't tall nor petite, and was relatively thin. Hence, in Maddox's eyes, she was especially petite. He could just carry her with his hands whenever he desired.
Just like now, she had been dragged onto his thighs by him, and she could only hold on to his shoulders.
Maddox felt that he might go crazy.
It was obvious that she was just a woman who had known him for a short time. After Geoffrey proposed that suggestion, his first reaction towards it was absolutely absurd. How could he, Maddox Yardley, elope?
But after on, he suddenly felt that it was a good idea to return to Hidalgo with her.
Minerva didn't know what Maddox was thinking now. After holding her in his arms, Maddox lowered his head and leaned against her shoulder, his lips unconsciously touching her neck.
In the end, she heard a heavy sigh.
"What on earth did you do to me?"
Why, why on earth was he getting more and more obsessed with her?
He couldn't figure it out, nor did he want to know the reason behind it.
**
After returning to the company, Minerva asked Maddox to put her down somewhere far away from the company. This was not the first time something like this had happened, so Maddox quickly pulled over. Minerva got off the car and closed the door, then said to him, "I'll be at the company soon."
"Sure." Maddox pursed his lips, looking deep in thought. "No matter how secretive you are now, others will know about us in the future."
It was easy for him to mention it like it was not a big deal, but she knew what he meant when she analyzed the meaning behind carefully.
Minerva's cheeks turned red as she urged him, "Hurry up and leave."
Maddox then drove away.
After he left, the smile on Minerva's face gradually disappeared.
She was a little disappointed. Just now at the restaurant, she asked him the last question, but he didn't answer her.
Minerva shook her head.
Perhaps she was thinking too much. After all, he just said that Geoffrey's suggestion was good, and they could consider it, but he didn't say that it was certain.
It's all her fault. How could she ask this question so naively?
Minerva stretched out her hand and rubbed her cheeks. Then, she walked back slowly.
When she was about to reach the company, she saw a familiar figure walking into the company.
The woman's back looked foreign yet very familiar. It seemed that she had seen her somewhere before..
