Minerva was just about to wrap the measuring tape around his waist. When she heard him, she paused for a moment.

She sneered inwardly and held the tape tightly.

Hate?

What, did he think that she would hate him? Was it worth hating him?

"Mr. Yardley, you must be kidding me. You're my client. How can I hate you?" Minerva pretended that she didn't understand his question and replied to him casually.

However, Maddox's frown deepened into a scowl.

"Is that so?"

His voice was calm. "Can you be more gentle?"

It was only then that Minerva noticed that she held the measuring tape around Maddox's waist overly tight and she had nearly made his waist out of shape.

"I'm so sorry!"

She suddenly retracted her hand and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Minerva's eyelids drooped. She could not help biting her lower lip in annoyance. How could she be in such a mess?

The air fell into an awkward silence. Minerva remembered his measurements, then put away the measuring tape and took a step back. She picked up the notebook and jotted down all of it. Maddox stood behind her and looked at her petite figure as she squatted down on the ground.

"If you don't hate me, why do you treat me as a stranger?"

As she wrote, her pen warped but she remained silent. After that, she put away the notebook and stood up, facing Maddox.

"I have completed my task. Mr. Yardley, thank you for your cooperation today. I have something to attend to, so I'll make a move first."

After saying that, Minerva turned around and prepared to leave.

He had his grip tightened around Minerva's wrist out of the blue. She was rooted to the spot.
