Sam handed the box to Kimberly. Kimberly reached out her hand to take it. She found that there was a gown inside it after opening it.

"Put it on and accompany me to the banquet."

Kimberly was stunned. Then, she said, "But, I have something else to do. I promised to eat out with Vera."

Upon hearing that, Maddox frowned slightly. "You've spent a lot of time with her in these two days. Can't you accompany me to the banquet? You can postpone your date with her."

"But I have already promised her..." Kimberly said. However, it was mainly because she had something very important to do that night. Why would Maddox ask her to go to the banquet now? It would not be good for Kimberly to reject Maddox directly. Therefore, she said, "Why don't you go first? I'll go to the banquet after meeting with Vera."

"Is it that important?" Maddox, who had been silent, asked.

"What?" Kimberly asked in confusion.

"I'm asking, is Vera more important than me?" Maddox repeated.

Kimberly froze on the spot, staring blankly at Maddox. What kind of question was that? Kimberly felt a little guilty when she saw Maddox staring at herself. He seemed to be able to see through Kimberly. Could it be that... he already knew something?

Thinking of that, Kimberly wanted to say something, but she couldn't spit her words out.

After a long time, she opened her mouth and said, "It's not like that. It's just that... I've already made an appointment with her."

"Can't you just keep me company for once?" Maddox frowned and said. His domineering tone made Kimberly uncomfortable.

Thinking of the person she was going to meet that night, she made up her mind and said, "No way, I can't go with you today. I will go to the banquet with you next time."

Upon hearing that, Maddox could not help but smile sarcastically, saying, "Next time, huh?"
