Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

After waiting for a while, Vera was back with two plates of food. She put a plate in front of Kimberly.

"This is yours, and this is mine. I got you a larger portion since you've been through a lot yesterday." Vera was proud of herself and she asked smugly, "What do you think? I treat you the best, right?" Kimberly looked at the extra piece of chicken on her plate and sight helplessly, "Yes."

"Alright. Have you thought about how to tell me the story? Hurry up, I want to know everything."

Kimberly knew Vera's intention, but... things were simply too complicated. She didn't know where to start.

Thinking of this, she could only say, "This is not a good place to talk about it. People might hear us. By then, things will get messy again..."

After thinking about it, Vera nodded in agreement, "You got a point. If things got out, you might be in danger. Forget it, let's keep it for another day."

"Thank you, Vera."

Vera smiled and waved her hand, "Don't worry about it. We're friends after all."

Then, she added, "By the way, I think you should stay away from Sylvia. Did you hear what she said to Arnold Corporation's young master last night? I know that you are besties. But I still want to remind you that she's not a good person. Please be careful."

When Kimberly heard Vera criticizing Sylvia, she furrowed her brows.

"Vera, you know that we shouldn't be commenting about people behind their backs."

"I know, but I can't help it. Whenever I look at her, I despise her even more. And when I meet her, the feeling gets stronger. Did you know? My gut feeling is always accurate. You need to trust me on this." Kimberly couldn't bear to listen any longer and she stood up at once. Vera was surprised and she calmed her down quickly.

"Okay, fine. I'll stop. But I'm doing this for you. Last night, she tried her best to win the competition while I tried my best to search for you. If it wasn't for me... Hmph!"
