Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 43

Kimberly Shell lay on her bed and took her mobile phone out to check the time.

It was almost time for Maddox Yardley to sleep. She just had to wait for a while longer.

However, Kimberly soon fell asleep. By the time she woke up, it was already the next morning.

When she got up, Maddox's bed was already empty. She grabbed her mobile phone and saw that it was almost time for work.

As though she had suddenly thought of something, Kimberly quickly got off the bed and lay beneath Maddox's bed.

Fortunately, the delicate button was still lying there quietly.

Kimberly reached out to get the button, but it was too far away. Her finger touched the edge of the button, but she couldn't get hold of it. She ended up pushing it further inside instead.

Kimberly was frustrated when she saw that the button had rolled further inside.

She could barely reach for it already. If it rolled further inside, she probably couldn't retrieve it anymore.

Kimberly stood up and tried to get the button from the other side, but she didn't expect that it would be further from the other side.

"What are you doing?" She suddenly heard a cold voice behind her.

Kimberly's soul almost left her body.

It was Maddox's voice. Shouldn't he... Shouldn't he be in the office? How could he still be here? Kimberly lay there motionless because she didn't know how to react. What if she got up and exposed herself?

Her lack of response made her look even more suspicious. Maddox narrowed his eyes slightly and wheeled towards her. As he was approaching her, Kimberly got up and grabbed an earring in her hand. "I dropped my earring, so I came to look for it."

Maddox looked over and saw that she had a shiny earring in her hand.

"Why do you look so nervous?"

Hearing this, Kimberly held her breath and said, "I'm not."

"You're not?" Maddox raised his eyebrows and continued to move closer to her. The strong masculine aura slowly overwhelmed her. "Then... why were you looking around? And why are you sweating?" Kimberly suddenly took a big step backward. "I was just looking for my earring, and the weather is a little hot today. I feel a little warm because I've been looking for it for quite some time." After saying that, Kimberly turned around and walked to the bathroom. It was time for her to wash up and get ready for work.

She didn't have to worry about Maddox replaceing out about the button because he was in the wheelchair. if there was nobody there to help him, he wouldn't even be able to see what was under his bed. The button would be safe if it remained under the bed.

She could go to work peacefully today.

Before Kimberly went to work, Old Master Yardley called her to the study. He asked her to spare some time to go to Lovis Enterprises to talk about the collaboration with Chandler Lovis. He also told her not to tell Maddox about it.

Kimberly had been having a headache since she arrived at the company.

The Old Master and Maddox had different thoughts about the collaboration, and it was challenging for her to mediate between them.

She did not dare to disobey the orders of the Old Master of the Yardley Family.

So after thinking for a while, Kimberly got up and went out. After getting into the car, she said to the taxi driver, "Hello, please get me to this address..."

Kimberly told the location of Lovis Enterprises to the driver.

After arriving at Lovis Enterprises, Kimberly went to the front desk and realized that she did not even make an appointment to meet Chandler.

"I'm sorry, Miss. You can't meet President Lovis without an appointment. What can I do for you?" The receptionist stared at her suspiciously, and her eyes fell on her clothes.

Kimberly's face turned red under her stare. She remembered what Maddox said last night and what happened when she went to Yardley Corporation for the first time.

It seemed that she needed to buy some new clothes.

"Then I'll make an appointment and come back in the afternoon."

After that, Kimberly left Lovis Enterprises. She did not ask for leave from Maddox when she left the company earlier. Over the past two days, Maddox had regarded her as a transparent person in the company and he did not need her help at all. In addition, Old Master Yardley had said that she could not let Maddox know about it, so she did not say anything to him.

Kimberly secretly returned to her desk and sat for a while. She heaved a sigh of relief.

After calming down, Kimberly called Lovis Enterprises to make an appointment. She stated her purpose of meeting the President as well as her identity. Unexpectedly, the other side hung up the phone. Kimberly was stunned and called them again.

This time, the person on the other side of the phone was very rude and said sarcastically, "Miss, if you call again to harass us, don't blame us for being rude."

After that, the person hung up the phone again.

Kimberly put down the phone, feeling helpless.

Their attitude seemed unwelcoming. Chandler Lovis must have instructed them to do so.

There was no other way to make an appointment, so she had to wait until she got off work at night and inform Old Master Yardley about it.

Just as she was about to get off work, Sylvia Hanover called Kimberly and asked her for a meetup.

Kimberly agreed.

She packed up her things and went to the elevator. Sam Sorrento was pushing Maddox out of the office just then. Kimberly looked away feeling guilty when she saw him.

He hadn't been paying attention to her recently. He probably didn't know about her going out in the morning, did he?

"Assistant Shell."

Sam addressed her as "Assistant Shell" instead of "Miss Shell".

Kimberly was grateful to Sam. After all, he was the one who moved that small bed for her, and he helped her solve a lot of her troubles.

She looked at Sam, a gentle smile naturally appeared on her face, and she nodded to him.

Maddox felt uncomfortable when he saw her dazzling smile. He frowned.

Sam had been with Maddox for a long time and he could anticipate his needs without him even saying anything. At this moment, Maddox began to feel irritated, and Sam immediately reacted. "The Young Master has been... acting a little strange recently, hasn't he?" he thought.

Ding.

The elevator doors opened and Kimberly waited for Maddox and Sam to enter the elevator. She stood there and did not move.

"Assistant Shell, aren't you coming in?" Sam couldn't help but ask.

Kimberly came back to her senses and answered with a smile, "I think I left my computer on. I'll go check it again. Please go ahead." She was about to leave when Maddox suddenly said, "Get in."

Kimberly stopped and looked back at him. "But Young Master, my computer..."

"The computer has been turned off."

"How did you know?"

"I saw it."

Kimberly didn't know what else to say.

Since he had said so, what else could she say? She could only step into the elevator with them.

The elevator door slowly closed.

Maddox's foul mood could be felt in the small elevator. Kimberly had nowhere to hide from him. "Did you leave the office this morning?"

Kimberly's heart skipped a beat.

"No, I didn't."

She remembered that the Old Master had told her that Maddox must not know about this matter.

"You didn't?" Maddox raised his eyebrows, and his voice had become firmer.

Kimberly jumped a bit. "Tell me the truth."

"I... I did go out for a while in the morning." "Where did you go?"
