In a relationship, the most important thing between a couple was trust.

At first, Minerva didn't trust Maddox, but later on, after she had figured it out. She was willing to trust him and give him time.

Even if he didn't explain the whole thing to her clearly, she still waited patiently.

But alas, what was the outcome?

Her patience and tolerance for him did not win her Maddox's trust. Instead, she made him suspicious.

Yes.

She still liked him, but so what?

If she got together with him now, what would the future be like? It would be impossible for nothing to happen if two people were dating each other. If she was abandoned once again, what would happen to her in the future?

Minerva felt that even she would rather die than to experience it again.

She could not afford to soften her heart ever again.

During the night, Minerva could not sleep. Her mind was full of questions and they kept her awake until late in the night. The next day, she felt dizzy when she woke up, and she couldn't get out of bed even though Vera had called her many times.

In the end, Minerva gave in. Her headache had become unbearable so she had no choice but to tell Vera, "I want to sleep in for a bit. I'll go to the office later." Vera just thought that Minerva hadn't slept well, therefore she didn't put too much thought into it. She nodded and said "Okay," and headed out.

The room became quiet again. Minerva laid on the bed with the throbbing headache. After a short while, she fell into a hazy sleep again.

Vera did not expect to see Maddox waiting at the elevator. Her eyes widened and she greeted him immediately, "President Yardley, why are you here?" He left very late the night before, but he still managed to come so early in the morning?

He really wasn't wasting a single second.

Maddox glanced at the clothes Vera was wearing and the bag she was carrying. He guessed that she was going to work, but... There was no one behind her. Maddox frowned, "Where is she?"

Vera said, "Are you asking about Minerva? When I went to wake her up this morning, she seemed to still be sleeping. She told me to go to the office first." "Did she not rest well?" Maddox's thin lips twitched slightly as if he was happy about something.
