"Since when do you have the right to negotiate with your superior?" Maddox asked impatiently.

Kimberly held her bag tighter and became a little annoyed. She retorted, "Even if I work overtime, I can't sort all this out in a short time. Can I take them back and sort them out at night?" She wanted to compromise.

"No," he said curtly.

Maddox did not give in at all.

Kimberly had no choice. She thought for a moment and decided to meet Sylvia the next day.

Thinking of this, she did not say anything more. Instead, she looked away from Maddox's stubborn eyes and walked towards her seat without saying a word.

Working overtime was not something difficult for her. Kimberly decided to do as he wished.

And so, Kimberly went back to work. On the other hand, Sam was already pushing Maddox away.

After he left, Kimberly took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Sylvia to tell her that she might not be able to leave. She then changed her appointment for another day. Two minutes after she sent the message, Sylvia quickly called her.

"What's going on? I thought you agreed to have dinner tonight? Why did you suddenly change the timing?"

Sylvia sounded a little anxious and uneasy.

It took her a lot of effort to decide to tell Kimberly the answer. She was afraid she couldn't keep the secret any longer. She totally did not expect Kimberly to cancel the appointment last minute. Sylvia panicked in an instant.

She wondered if Kimberly had noticed something.

Kimberly looked at the pile of documents in front of her and felt a headache. She said, "I'm sorry, Sylvia. I didn't mean to bail on you. I have something to do today, so I can't make it for dinner tonight." Sylvia asked, "What about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow... I can only let you know tomorrow," replied Kimberly.
