In the end, she really didn't know what to say. Minerva could only shut her mouth and put down her hand in annoyance.
"What happened that day... I'm really sorry. I really got the wrong person. You have to believe me, I certainly didn't covet you. I applied for the job of the assistant secretary because I was simply attracted to your company, so... I want to come here to study."
"Oh." Maddox replied with a cold face, "Do you mean that I am not as attractive as the company?"

For the first time, she was flustered in front of Maddox and didn't know what to say. In a hurry, her delicate eyebrows frowned, and even her clear eyes were full of anxiety.
