Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Kimberly froze when she heard what Maddox said. She stared at him blankly for a long time. Maddox pushed himself forward and Kimberly stopped struggling, for fear that Maddox would kiss her in public. In the end, she was forced into the car. Kimberly did not dare to look at him anymore. So, she buried her face into Maddox's chest. She only pushed him away once they got into the car. "Why did you do that?"

Kimberly plopped into the car seat and glared at Maddox in displease.

She added, "Didn't you say that when in public, I'm just your subordinate? What are you trying to do now?" Maddox had openly embraced her and carried her into the car. Not only that, but he had also told her to go to work with him every day.

"Don't you know what I'm doing?" Maddox asked back.

Kimberly was startled by his fiery gaze. She averted her eyes from his stare and lowered her voice.

"How should I know what you are doing?"

"Okay, then." Maddox lifted her chin, forcing her eyes to meet his. Although Kimberly tried to avoid his gaze, Maddox pinched her chin hard and forced her to look at him. The force he exerted was great and it hurt her. "Let me go!"

"I'll tell you what I'm going to do." Maddox's gaze was as though ablaze, burning into every inch of Kimberly's skin. He uttered slowly, "I want to tell everyone that you are mine. No one can say otherwise, including Benedict. If he dares to transfer you or approach you, it means he's trying to steal my woman away."

There was a hint of detestation in Maddox's eyes as he added, "He reminds me of that woman, always wanting to steal other people's belongings by using any means possible. If I find something going on between you and Benedict, I will never forgive you."

"Do you understand me?"

How could Kimberly not understand? It was crystal clear. She pushed Maddox's hands away and huffed angrily, "Why are you bringing me into your conflict with your brother? Let go of me!"
