Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

After they sat down, Vera immediately said, "I heard about what happened in the conference room. Kimberly, you're amazing!"

It was the first time that Vera had praised her. She said awkwardly, "It's nothing."

Vera said, "I thought you would just break down, I didn't expect you to defend yourself. Now, I'm sure the supervisor and everyone else is probably mad about it."

Kimberly was speechless. She then said worriedly, "There are so many people in the company who want to see me in humiliation. You may get yourself into trouble if you stay close to me."

"Don't worry! I'm from the finance department, and my father is the supervisor of the department. They will not dare to do anything to me," Vera said casually.

Kimberly asked skeptically, "Are you sure about that?"

Vera grinned and replied, "Yep. I handle everyone's salary, of course, they won't mess with me. Haha!"

Kimberly finally understood. People did not dare to challenge Vera because they were afraid they would not get their pay.

"Although I can't deduct their salary, I can hold their pay. Do you know that there are a lot of people who spend their money ruthlessly? They barely save any money and they are always waiting for their pay. If delayed their payment, they would come crawling back to me crying! Haha!" Vera continued saying while laughing.

Kimberly nodded, "You're awesome."

"So, I'll protect you from now on. You don't need to worry too much," Vera told her confidently.

After lunch, Kimberly returned to her desk and looked at the old computer. She needed some time to fix it.

Kimberly was still sitting when she heard a set of footsteps behind her.

She frowned slightly and turned around. She saw Lincoln walking towards her with a cup of coffee in his hand, which he placed in front of Kimberly. He asked, "Urn... what's your name?"
