Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Minerva closed the book and placed Zachary's work down without speaking a word. She continued to review the others' work while pointing out the subtle differences she found. "Jessica, your design has improved a little, but you have to be a lot bolder in changing it up if you really want to improve. Small adjustments here and there isn't enough."

Minerva could sense Yasmine glaring at her from the corner of her eye and so she turned to look at her, meeting her eyes.

"What? What are you looking at me for? Let me tell you, I've spent a lot of time on Helen's situation yesterday, alright? Stop finding excuses to insult me again," Yasmine muttered unhappily. Upon hearing Yasmine's words, Minerva curled her lips into a faint smile and replied softly, "Did you think that I had been deliberately finding excuses to criticize you last time? That I was purposely venting my anger out on you?"

Then, she put Yasmine's work in front of her and continued, "Take this back and revise your approach. Remember, don't let the objective of the design slip your mind."

Before Yasmine could think to retort, Minerva continued right away, "Kelly, you did well this time. You've completed your amendments based on my requirements for the design. Stay back after this so we can discuss the rest of the details later. If everything works out, well send your design over to our client."

Kelly was a little surprised that her work had been chosen.

She gazed at Minerva, looking astounded but she did not make a single sound. On the other hand, Aaron, who had been sitting beside her, had joined in on Minerva's praise. Clapping his hands, he started to exclaim, "Wow, Kelly! You're so amazing!"

"Kelly, Zachary, stay after the meeting. I have something to discuss with you both."

After the meeting, Yasmine was the first to rush out of the conference room. Zachary remained seated, staring blankly at nothing.

Beanie who was sitting next to him turned to look at him with curious eyes.

He thought that this man was really odd. He exuded a cold aura but he was pretty good-looking as well.

Meanwhile, Kelly levelled a sneer at Minerva.

"What is it?"

When Minerva had been about to get to the point, Kelly interjected, "Look, don't think that I'll be grateful to you just because you've picked my design. If you prove to be incapable, I won't like or pander to you!" Minerva was completely dumbstruck by this.

With a look of indifference, she replied, "Why would I need you to like me?"

Kelly was rendered speechless by that.
