Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"President Yardley," Vera greeted Maddox nervously.

Maddox's cold gaze swept across the room. When he couldn't see Minerva, his eyes darkened and he asked, "Where is Minerva?"

Vera remembered Minerva's instructions, but faced with Maddox's fearful aura, she felt weak and slightly guilty. She subconsciously glanced in the direction of the lounge.

She then said in a quiet voice, "Minerva told me to let you know to wait for her downstairs. She will be there in five minutes."

"Five minutes?" Maddox narrowed his eyes. Vera felt that she was treading in dangerous waters. "I've already given her so much time and she still wants to bargain with me?" He sneered. Hearing his cold sneer, Vera gulped in fear.

That man was too handsome. Fortunately, she had already fallen in love with Quill!

"Minerva said that she would be downstairs in five minutes. Please trust her for once," Vera said.

It seemed that Minerva hadn't taken

Maddox's words seriously.

The darkness in Maddox's eyes grew. Then, he looked away and fixed his gaze on the door of the lounge.

Vera's face changed and she felt all her muscles tighten.

What was he looking at? Could it be that he wanted to go to the lounge?

While she was still thinking, Maddox started heading towards the lounge door.

"President Yardley!" Vera called out nervously. Her face turned pale and she jumped up from her seat. In the next second, she stepped forward and blocked Maddox's way.
