She meant to say that he could only address her as Shelly during work, but other than that, they would have nothing to do with each other. Therefore, he didn't even have the right to call her name.

Minerva was dumbfounded. Why did he mention his name out of the blue?
"Gender male, hobby..." His gaze settled on her face, and then he said slowly, "Playing golf, bungee jumping."
Hearing that, if Minerva didn't know what he meant, then she was an idiot.
However, never did she expect that Maddox would suddenly introduce himself.
