Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 139

Kimberly followed Maddox into the meeting room, muttering grievances to herself.

Benedict was also among them. When his eyes met Kimberly, he flashed her a gentle and kind smile. Although Kimberly was in a bad mood, she still couldn't resist his spring breeze of a smile. It reduced the grievance in her heart a little, and she smiled back at him.

Maddox naturally saw this small interaction.

At this point, the cold energy on his body intensified a few folds.

Quill and Juliette had arrived. The vice president, Benedict, greeted them in person. As Kimberly looked at Benedict, she also saw Quill and Juliette sitting next to him.

Just like the day before, Quill was sitting there with an air of detachment as if there was no one in his eyes.

He looked down at the material in front of him. However, when Kimberly came over, he seemed to notice something and he looked up to meet her eyes. He nodded slightly at her. Kimberly also nodded at him and then at Juliette.

The energy from Maddox was now tainted with a hint of hostility.

Ha, she was indeed a popular woman.

No matter where she went, someone would say hello and acknowledge her. She must be very smug on the inside.

After sitting down, Maddox knocked on the table with his slender fingers gently, ordering, "Coffee."

Kimberly nodded and said, "I'm on it."

After that, she walked out. She had to prepare everyone's coffee, and there was no one to help her. It was quite a difficult task for her.

As Kimberly carried a large tray of coffee into the meeting room, the meeting had already begun. Someone was giving a speech, so she couldn't make a sound. She placed the cups of coffee gently in front of the directors and managers respectively.

Benedict saw that she was struggling and went to help her. Kimberly looked at him gratefully, and then she sent over a cup of coffee to Quill.

Quill looked at the slender fingers on her pure white hands, which were as white as jade.

In his memory, when he was very young, his mother had this similar pair of hands. His mother's hands would open the textbook page by page in front of him, and she would patiently tell him all kinds of stories. Finally, she would touch his head with her hands, and her voice was soft as she spoke,

"Quill, if you have a chance to replace your sister, you must treat her well."

After his mother's death, Quill had tried his best to achieve this goal.

Two years ago, he finally found his sister, who was apparently lost since she was a child. However... his heart still felt empty. He always felt that he hadn't fulfilled his mother's expectations.

Kimberly's appearance had increased the emptiness in his heart a little.

This woman constantly overlapped with the figure in his memory. It was like an illusion.

She was the sister he had been looking for.

At this moment, Quill made a mental note to ask Juliette to investigate Kimberly's background after the meeting.

Juliette looked at Kimberly in surprise. She didn't expect that she could do so much work by herself. Looking at Maddox, who was looking ahead steadily in the main seat, Juliette thought of the scene in the restaurant from the day before.

She thought, "Men are really ruthless creatures!"

Bang!

When Kimberly came in with coffee for the second time, Benedict couldn't stand watching her struggling anymore. When he was about to stand up to help her, Quill made an eye gesture at him.

Juliette had followed Quill for many years and immediately understood what he meant. Juliette hurriedly got up to help Kimberly with the coffee before Benedict could get to her. She said in a whisper, "I'll help you."

Kimberly gawked at her and thanked, "Thank... thank you."

Later, Juliette and Kimberly distributed the coffee to everyone. When Juliette arrived in front of Maddox, he sneered abruptly and said, "President Hanover's secretary is really considerate." The sudden voice interrupted the ongoing meeting.

There was a look of surprise on everyone's face, and no one could understand what was going on.

Quill looked at him coldly and said in a rigid voice, "Is your company short-handed? I wonder if your company can keep up with Hanover Corporation's progress when we cooperate in the future." Maddox snorted and replied, "As the top group in North City, we have always been focusing on quality instead of quantity."

Kimberly listened by the side and frowned slightly.

Here he goes again. Maddox truly didn't let them get away with anything. He was obviously going to cooperate with the Hanover Corporation, yet he still fought back. Couldn't he just hold it back? Kimberly didn't know what had happened to herself. She had been humiliated by Maddox, but she was still worried about the Yardley Corporation.

Could it be that she was siding with whoever she was with?

No matter how oblivious they were, everyone could tell that a strange thing had happened halfway through the meeting.

Were President Hanover and Young Master Yardley going to fight each other? What was the reason?

"Is that so? Then, I'll wait and see," Quill said.

The meeting ended in advance, but surprisingly, the cooperation actually came to fruition. Maddox and Quill did not look at each other any differently. They even shook hands when they signed the contract. When the meeting was over, Kimberly heard a few of the people of status talking.

"I really respect such young men like President Hanover and President Yardley. They were still able to sign the contract calmly even after the argument. I thought the project would fail."

"It's impossible. Although President Yardley is disabled, his mind is very clear. He knows what kind of cooperation opportunities he should seize. Look at Quill's appearance again, it is obvious that he is a young man who is rigid when dealing with affairs. Fortunately, he can differentiate things clearly."

When Quill and Juliette left, Juliette couldn't help but say, "President Hanover, you shouldn't have stood up for Miss Shell today."

Hearing this, Quill frowned slightly.

Juliette continued, "The two of them must have had a quarrel. President Hanover, you used to be very calm, but today, why..."

However, before Juliette could finish her words, Quill ordered in an indifferent voice, "Juliette, go and investigate on Kimberly's background. I want to know everything."

Juliette was stunned at his words.

"Hurry up," Quill said again.

Juliette finally came to her senses and replied, "Okay, I will."

She was very puzzled. It was the first time that Quill had shown interest in a woman. Was he in love with Kimberly? But... What was so special about Kimberly? Yes, she was very beautiful and graceful. Her eyes especially gave out a cold sensation, which portrayed a sense of nobility.

But even so, President Hanover shouldn't have lost his temper like that.

Why?

Kimberly was ready to leave with everyone else. Sam caught up with her and said, "Assistant Shell, Young Master Yardley asked you to clean up all the coffee cups."

Hearing what he said, Kimberly had no choice but to turn back and clean the table up.

Benedict left late. Seeing that she was busy, he put down his pen and came over to help her.

"Why didn't Maddox ask someone to help you?" Benedict asked.

"Er..." Kimberly took two steps back and greeted politely, "Vice President Yardley."

She remembered what Maddox had told her. She had to keep a distance from Benedict.
