Minerva was dumbfounded as soon as she heard that. She initially thought that it was just a meeting between the two of them.

She did not expect Miss Lowell to invite Maddox.

Minerva was puzzled, Janice looked so shy every time she mentioned Maddox. She must be eager to be alone with him; why did she have to invite her then?

"I'm sorry Shelly. I called Maddox. You won't mind right? I thought he might need you to design his outfit too, so..."

"I don't mind at all." Minerva smiled. "He's already my client."

Janice widened her eyes in astonishment. "Really? I didn't expect that he would actually look for you. I just forwarded your business contact..."

She was so shy as she spoke.

So what Auntie Stark said was true? Maddox was only cold on the outside. It seemed that he was not interested in her at all. However, he saved the business contact she forwarded to him and even went to Minerva for her design.

Was he taking her seriously?

Goodness, what a romantic man he was!

Janice couldn't resist covering her mouth.

Minerva, who was sitting beside her, did not know how to react when she saw how Janice was acting.

Why did she feel as if she was going to be the third wheel?

She felt uneasy at the thought of becoming Maddox and Janice's third wheel. However, Minerva quickly suppressed her emotions and sat there expressionless. She should appear calm.

She should turn a blind eye to Maddox's affairs.

If she still cared about him even after the incident five years ago, it would be such a humiliation to her.

As she thought of this, she looked indifferent.
