Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 205

"Will you keep your mouths shut?" Kimberly yelled as glared at them, "Can all of you stop sticking your noses in my business?"

Hearing this, they started to refute, "Why are you mad? Do you have to act so arrogantly just because they show interest in you? We're all colleagues. Why are you so mean?"

"That's right. You are just getting your previous job back. There's no need to act so high and mighty. Who knows, maybe you'll get demoted again. They both will get married sooner or later. You are just a nobody. It is impossible for you to marry them. Who do you think you are?"

After they were done talking, they turned around and left angrily.

Kimberly stood still and looked at her empty space in front of her where her desk had used to be.

Benedict had asked her to be his secretary, but she had rejected him. Then, he had sent Valeria to escort her away, but she had rejected him too.

On the other hand, Maddox had reinstated her and ordered his men to move her stuff straight away. He was not going to let her stay.

The brothers dealt with stuff so contrastingly.

In the end, Kimberly had no choice but to leave the department.

The other people grumbled, "Let's wait and see. People like her will eventually be fired."

"That's right. Just let her be. She clearly doesn't have the ability to marry into the Yardley family. Then, I'm sure she'll be fired."

In the interim, Kimberly went to the top level. This was a familiar place for her.

She had used to spend her time here when she had first started working at the company. So, she was very familiar with the surroundings.

The office was quiet. Obviously, Maddox hadn't come back even after a night away from home.

Kimberly sat at her desk and stared blankly at her computer.

If she had the option, she would rather not have feelings for Maddox.

She didn't even know why she had fallen in love with Maddox in the first place.

Was it because... when everyone in the mall was laughing at her previously, he was the only person who stood up for her and questioned them? Was it because he had even handed the contract to her in front of everyone?

Or, was it when Chandler had tried to take advantage of her, Maddox had directly ignored him and unleashed his wrath on him?

Although she and Maddox hadn't been together for a long time, they had been through a lot.

While she was lost in her thoughts, the elevator's door opened. As she came back to her senses, she saw Sam pushing Maddox in his wheelchair out of the elevator. She also saw that both of them had dark circles under their eyes. It was obvious that they didn't sleep a wink.

Kimberly froze for a few seconds before standing up.

It seemed like Maddox didn't expect to see her there. When he saw her things placed neatly on her table, he finally figured out the situation and smiled, "Good job."

Kimberly said, "So, it was you who asked them to move my stuff here."

Sam knew that they needed some space. So, he pushed Maddox towards her and said, "Young Master Yardley, I have some work to do. Let me get back to you later."

Without waiting for him to react, Sam went into the elevator immediately.

When Kimberly saw this, she sneered silently. Sam had run away so quickly. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"If I don't take drastic measures, would you have come obediently?" Maddox said. He glanced at her and pushed himself into his office.

When she saw this, Kimberly pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and followed him into the office.

"Well, you can't just order people to move my things around, right? Some of the things belong to the previous department. If you move everything here, how am I supposed to..."

"Don't worry about that. All you need to do is be my secretary."

Kimberly continued, "I don't want to be your secretary."

Maddox went back to his desk and opened his notebook. His voice became colder as he spoke.

"I'm not asking for your permission. I'm informing you."

Maddox was such a domineering person. Sometimes, Kimberly just wanted to punch him hard in the face.

"Do you think that I will follow your orders every time no matter what?"

Maddox raised his eyes lazily and replied, "What I know is, from the moment that you married me, you should have known what you got yourself into."

"Does that include being left alone at home in the middle of the night?" Kimberly suddenly roared at him.

Maddox was stunned as he furrowed his thick brows.

"I beg your pardon?"

"Do you remember what you said before you left? You told me to wait for you." Kimberly tried to force a smile as she added, "I stayed up the whole night. Where were you? Couldn't you even leave me a message? Now, you appear out of nowhere and move my things as you wish. Yes, I married you on behalf of my sister, but it doesn't mean that I'm at your beck and call!"

She was too agitated. After she finished speaking, Kimberly felt that she had said too much.

Her words sounded to have come from a place of jealousy. She sounded like she was blaming him for staying the night out at only God knew where.

She was behaving like an angry wife who was disappointed.

As expected, Maddox frowned even more and his narrow eyes squinted at her, "Are you blaming me for not going home and for ignoring you?"

Kimberly took a deep breath and pursed her lips. She did not answer him.

Maddox scoffed at this. His gaze revealed a hint of playfulness as he asked, "Did you feel lonely?"

He then rolled the wheelchair towards her and tried to explain, "Last night..."

"Don't talk about it!" Kimberly shouted all of a sudden. She saw him approaching her and so, she took a step back, "Don't come near me either!"

Maddox halted his action and glared at her unhappily.

"What do you want to say?" he asked.

Kimberly rearranged her thoughts. She clenched her fist, answering, "I hope that... you can let me go."

She looked up at Maddox and fixed her eyes on him. "We are not a real couple anyway. We will get divorced sooner or later. I think that it's better that we divorce now. I can go back to my department, and we can pretend that nothing ever happened."

After saying that, Kimberly turned and walked out of the room.

"Stop right there," Maddox's voice rang.

Kimberly paused in her steps and looked back at him. She asked curtly, "Do I need your permission for this too?"

Maddox fixed his piercing eyes on Kimberly's face and his inquiring gaze swept over her. "So, you're blaming me for leaving you alone. I indeed had something important to do last night."

When Kimberly heard this, she couldn't control her tongue.

"What's so important? I want to know."

Maddox paused for a moment before responding, "I was looking for someone."

"Who were you looking for?" Kimberly questioned further.

Maddox narrowed his eyes and simply stated, "That's none of your business."

Kimberly was struck silent for a moment. Then, she nodded, "Yes, it is none of my business. Why do I even care? I've never meddled in your business. If that's the case, from now on, you should stop meddling in my business too."

She was furious!

Seeing her getting so angry, something dawned on Maddox's realization. His thin lips curled up slightly into a smirk. Suddenly, he reached out and pulled Kimberly into his arms. Then, he lifted her chin and teased evilly, "Are you jealous?"
