Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Vera paused for a moment before she did as instructed.

She and Minerva had typed up a quotation that day but had not finalized it yet.

She handed the printed quotation over to Maddox politely. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Please have a look at our quotation. We've offered you a special discount as our company is relatively new. If you like our designs and recommend us to more clients, we will send you a complimentary design on your birthday every year."

Minerva spoke calmly. Even Vera could not resist glancing at her with a hint of surprise.

She could not figure out how Minerva could be so calm about all this.

Maddox looked at the quotation before him as she spoke.

Even though he did not show it, he was inwardly mad at her.

Maddox did not speak a word even after Minerva's introduction. She did not seem to think anything of it.

An eerie silence fell upon the office. Maddox did not once look up from the piece of paper he was holding in his hands.

No one knew what he was thinking.

A moment later, he suddenly curled his lips into a smile.

"Is that so? Well, do I get the privilege to set some conditions?"

Minerva's eyes flickered to his and asked for clarification, "What do you mean by that?"

Maddox laid the quotation on the table then. He tapped his fingers on the table and bore his eyes into hers as he said, "Can I pick the designer I want to work with?"

Vera's face paled a little at that and she held her breath.

She was now sure that Maddox was after Minerva.

In the beginning, she thought it might have been a coincidence. However, after acknowledging Minerva's calm acceptance towards the whole situation, it seems like that wasn't the case.
