"Kimberly, what... do you mean?" Sylvia's smile was somehow stiff now. "I really don't mean anything else. Are you suspecting me?"

"That's not true!" Kimberly Shell shook her head. "How could I suspect you?"

She was just worried that once Sylvia got too close to Maddox, she would fall prey to him. After all, she had a hunch that... Maddox was not joking.

Moreover, the rumors were not necessarily true.

It might be true that he was disabled, but him being impotent-it must be a rumor.

After all, what her hand had touched in the morning was real.

"If that was the case, then why would you say such things to me?" Sylvia Hanover appeared to be embarrassed. She lowered her gaze and whispered, "Did you misunderstand what the lady boss said just now? But I've told you, she was just joking. If you don't believe me, I'll bring Matthew here to talk to you next time."

Kimberly didn't say anything. She just stared at Sylvia with a frown. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.

Sylvia thought that Kimberly did not believe her, so she quickly took out her mobile phone from her bag.

"I'll call Matthew right now!" Kimberly grasped her hand, and Sylvia looked at her.

"Don't call him. I trust you. I just..." Kimberly stuttered. How should she explain? Was she worried that Maddox would hurt Sylvia? But if she said so, she felt that she was selling Maddox out. "You are just what?" Sylvia saw that Kimberly was hesitant, so she probed.

Kimberly bit her lower lip impatiently, and said "I don't know how to explain it to you. But Sylvia, aren't we good friends? Just listen to me and stay away from him!"

Sylvia's expression became serious. "Kimberly, do you like him?"

Upon hearing Sylvia's question, Kimberly gasped, "What did you say?"
