Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 390

"Let's go." Minerva packed her things and walked out of the meeting room.

Yasmine, who was in the meeting room, couldn't resist saying, "It's only been a few days since she started the company. She has already received orders from a customer. Mr. Hanover is the one helping her, isn't it?"

After finishing her sentence, Yasmine folded her arms across her chest, sneering, "She only knows how to rely on men. Evidently she doesn't have the capability, yet she still commands us around."

No one supported Yasmine's statement. She then looked at the crowd as she felt weird to carry on with her monologue.

"Don't all of you think so?"

Jordan lifted a corner of his mouth. "If I have the resources and a submissive beauty like her, I'm willing to give her everything."

"You! How shameless you are! You even want such a woman! Such a woman might have been played by men many times."

Gabriella closed the file and glanced at Yasmine helplessly. "Yasmine, I think you've been unhappy all this while. Why don't... you just quit?"

As soon as Yasmine heard this, she abruptly glared at Gabriella. "What do you mean? Are you driving me away? Gabriella Swift, why do you think you can speak to me in such a manner?" Gabriella cupped her cheeks with both hands and sighed heavily.

"Indeed, I shouldn't have voiced out, but you always complain in front of us. Everyone has already received their salary in advance. Now that you keep whining about it, why didn't you reject it when you received your salary?"

"Gabriella, you're wrong. When Mr. Hanover's secretary, Juliette came to us, she didn't mention that our boss was such a person." Jessica, who was seated near Zachary, couldn't help speaking out for Yasmine.

When Gabriella heard that, she raised her eyebrows and cast a glance in Jessica's direction. "No matter what kind of person your boss is, we still need to work, don't we? I'm sure that you adults understand that we have to work after receiving the pay, right?"

Jessica rose angrily. "What do you mean? Are you implying that we merely took the money and didn't contribute anything at all?"

Upon listening to Jessica's words, Gabriella smiled faintly.

"I didn't mean that. Jessica, don't take things personally. Aren't you going to behave like a lady?"

As Gabriella said this, she caught a glimpse of Zachary who was near her, hinting something.

All of the sudden, Jessica realized that Zachary was in their midst. She seemed to have behaved rudely not long ago.

Her expression instantly changed, and she sat down again.

Unexpectedly, Zachary had already packed up the materials. He stood up and walked out of the meeting room with a cold expression on his face. "Zachary!" Jessica wanted to catch up with him quickly, but he paid no attention to her at all. She sat down in sorrow and then scowled at Gabriella. "Why are you scowling at me?"

"It's all your fault. Zachary has ignored me."

As Gabriella heard Jessica, she let out a giggle. "Hasn't he ignored you as always?"

"How dare you!"

"Jessica, just ignore her." Yasmine packed up the materials and walked to Jessica. "There's no need to talk so much with such a woman. If she doesn't want to be on the same side as us, then let her be. We don't need to bother her.'1

They reached an agreement and left the conference room together.

Only Jordan and Gabriella were left in the conference room. Jordan gazed at Gabriella with great interest.

"Woman, you're really something. You are very pretty as well. Would you like to have dinner with me?"

Gabriella's eyes were glistening with a hint of disgust. Nevertheless, she thought of something right away and she nodded. "Okay."

Jordan flashed her a smile.

Minerva finalized the attire as soon as possible because Helen had her eyes on it. After Vera finished taking Helen's measurements, Minerva immediately explained the details of the outfit to Helen. Helen even pestered her with Facebook messages several times because of this.

Helen complained, "You didn't even come in person to take my measurements."

Minerva replied, "I have to give Vera the chance. If I do everything by myself, what would I need to hire her?"

Helen answered, "You're right! Minerva, you're so kind and considerate!"

Minerva was at a loss for words.

"You must be joking!" She pondered.

Minerva responded, "I still have work to do. I'll talk to you later."

Helen answered, "Alright, hurry up and go to work for the team."

When Jackson, who stood next to Helen saw the text messages she sent, he was tongue-tied.

"Why do you have to act in such a way? Even if you like her, you should be reserved. What if Minerva thinks that you are attracted to her and is scared of you?"

Upon hearing his words, Helen came to her senses at once. She held her cheeks. "I don't look like I'm attracted to women, do I? I just admire her. She will understand me!" "There was a female fan who came to pick you up and sent you all kinds of messages every day. She even posted about you on Facebook on a daily basis. Weren't you suspicious of her back then?" Jackson retorted without hesitation.

Helen felt a little embarrassed and her mouth twitched. She then waved her hand, remarking, "Are you mentioning the past? At that moment, I was unaware that a fangirl would behave like this." "Why don't you take a look at your cousin's message when you're free? I recall that she sent you a message earlier."

"Oh, I saw it." Helen mentioned her cousin. "It's just that I'm not interested in her blind date. Besides... What kind of person can she meet on a blind date? Look at how infatuated she is." "You'd better not say that. You might get a good match through a blind date. It all depends on your luck."

Helen didn't take his words seriously. She opened Facebook and posted a photo of herself and Minerva. Then, she added a caption and smileys, "I'm so happy to be taking this photo with a beauty!" Jackson, who was watching aside, was rendered speechless.

Not long after her photo was being circulated, Helen's cousin, Janice sent her a text message.

Janice texted, "It turns out that you're online, Helen? I thought you've been filming until now."

"Oh, I forgot to block her after sending the photo."

She thought.

Helen responded, "I've just finished my work."

Janice continued, "Helen, have you seen the messages I sent you before?"

"Let me see. So you went on a blind date. Did he look handsome?"

"He's handsome! Helen, look at the photos!"

Janice sent her a photo straight away. Helen glanced at it and jumped up in her seat in amazement.

"What's wrong?" Jackson was almost scared to death when he saw her reaction. He immediately went up to support her.

"Amazing!" Helen stared at the man's photo, complimenting, "The man is really pretty good! She has such good luck." She replied to Janice in a flash.

"Handsome indeed! But why does this man in the photo look so familiar?"

"Don't you recognize him? He's the man that every girl in North City has dreamed of. He's Maddox Yardley, the President of the Yardley Corporation!"

"F*ck, this girl is really fortunate. How can Janice come across such a good man? However... how can such a man think highly of her?"
