Kimberly looked in the mirror, lost in her thoughts.

Maybe it was because she had found the earrings and kept on thinking about it. Maybe that was why she had the dream.

She quickly wiped her face dry and went out of the bathroom.

Maddox's side of the bed was already empty by the time she had woken up. He must have left early in the morning. Kimberly glanced at the clock and realized that it was already working hours. Which meant that.... she was late for work.

Having the realization dawned on her, Kimberly immediately changed into her work clothes and rushed to the company.

She arrived at the office and happened to bump into Maddox and Sam who were on their way to a meeting. Kimberly was coming out of the elevator while they were entering it.

Maddox frowned when he saw her. He stared at her unhappily and said, "Aren't you supposed to be resting at home? What are you doing here?"

"Huh?" Kimberly responded in confusion.

"You are injured." Maddox stared at her clothes, his gaze falling on her neck where her wounds were still visible. Suddenly, a thought struck him and he asked, "Have you applied the medicine on the wound today?" She knew that she had forgotten to do so. She instinctively reached out and touched her neck, "No, not yet."

"Go home and apply it. Take a rest."

Kimberly quickly walked out of the elevator just as the door was closing. Sam pushed Maddox into the elevator.

Maddox then reached out for Kimberly and quickly pulled her into the elevator. "Sam, send her home."

Sam was stunned, "But the meeting..."
