However, the room was empty when she returned. She couldn't see Maddox anywhere.

Kimberly did not give up. She ran into the study.

But he wasn't in the study either. Kimberly didn't know where he had gone. Perhaps because she felt guilty about what she had said, she felt as though Maddox was slowly leaving her world. Or perhaps, she had never been able to enter his world.

Finally, Kimberly washed up and changed her clothes for work.

She happened to meet Old Master Yardley who was on his way out.

It had been a long time since she last saw him. The Old Master seemed to be very busy recently.

When he saw Kimberly, he immediately asked, "Erica, remember the favor that I asked you to do last time? How is it going?"

Kimberly's mind was in a mess. At first, she didn't know what he was referring to. After a long pause, she realized that Old Master Yardley was asking about the matter of Benedict and Sylvia.

Thinking of this, Kimberly quickly explained, "Old Master, I have mentioned it to Sylvia, but... she seems to have a boyfriend, so..."

Hearing her words, Old Master Yardley slightly narrowed his eyes, not really believing her. Kimberly was scared by his gaze, so she lowered her head and bit her lip. "Grandpa."

A gentle voice came from behind them. It was Benedict.

Benedict said, "Didn't you have an appointment with Grandpa Abbott to play tennis? If you continue talking with Erica, Grandpa Abbott will tease you for being late again."

Old Master Yardley gave Benedict a complicated look and finally looked away, saying, "Okay. Erica, I will look for you another day."

Kimberly nodded, "Old Master, take care."

After Old Master Yardley left, Kimberly noticed the layer of cold sweat on her back. Old Master could be so menacing sometimes.
