Minerva was triggered, but she didn't dare to turn around and walk away. She could only endure the anger in her heart and stood there silently. "Well, that's all for today."

Sensing that the person on the other line was about to explode with anger, Maddox decided to end the seemingly endless meeting promptly. Although, there was still half an hour to go before the meeting ends.

At first, she thought she could take her time. After all, he had just recovered from his serious injury, thus, she should give him a little more time to let him familiarize himself with her presence before stimulating his memory.
