Kimberly went into the bathroom. Even she was disgusted by the stench emanating off her body.
But she was really frustrated when she encountered the three women before.
Those people worked under the Yardley Corporation, yet they still mocked her and Maddox.
As long as his employees were laughing at him for being disabled and impotent, she would feel particularly frustrated.
How could they laugh at other people like that? What good would that bring them? The water dripped from the top of Kimberly's head and drenched her whole body.
She took off her clothes, which had a foul smell, and switched on the ventilation fan in the bathroom.
She winced in pain when she washed the burns on her shoulder. She quickly took two steps to the side. "Knock knock-" She heard Benedict's voice from outside and quickly covered her body reflexively. "Kimberly, there is shower gel inside. You can use it. I'm going out. My assistant will cto see you later," Benedict said.
"Oh, okay." Kimberly nodded. She was too dirty now. She had to quickly take a bath. Therefore, she couldn't care much about anything else at the moment. About 20 minutes later, she heard someone pushed the door open and cinto the room. They knocked on the bathroom door.
"Who is it?" Kimberly probed after a long silence.
She had just washed away all the filth from her body. She was now covered with foam from the shower gel. No one answered her. Kimberly was surprised. She walked to the bathroom door and repeated, "Who is it?" There was a long silence before she heard a cold male voice.
It s me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKimberly was stunned at first, but then she suddenly recognized the voice... was it from Maddox? As she realized that Maddox was outside, she beceven more uneasy. She suddenly becextremely aware that she was taking a bath in someone else's bathroom. Maddox would definitely be angry. For a moment, Kimberly panicked and did not know what to do.
"Open the door." Maddox said abruptly.
Kimberly's expression changed and she whispered, "No, no." Maddox frowned. He looked down at the bag in his hand and said coldly, "I'll repeat one last time. Open the door." Kimberly didn't know how to respond.
Here he comes again! Every tbefore he got angry, he would speak in this tone.
Kimberly was still a little afraid of him. Finally, she opened the door slowly and hid behind the door, only poking out her head.
Maddox's eyes were icy and gloomy, and his body exuded a cold aura like a wild beast, making her shiver. Kimberly saw that he was staring right at her. She was startled and wanted to close the door.
Then, he handed a bag over to her.
Kimberly was stunned and asked, "What, what is it?" "Do you want to cout naked?" Maddox's voice sounded freezing-cold. He practically squeezed the words through his teeth, "You can try to, that is if you want to die." How could Kimberly go out naked? She took the bag from Maddox's hand. It indeed contained a new set of clothes.
"Thank you," she thanked him.
Maddox looked away and took a deep breath. "I'll give you ten minutes to tidy up and cout," he said.
"Okay." Kimberly closed the door, hung the bag on the hook next to her, and then turned on the shower again to wash off the foam on her body.
Kimberly managed her tvery well. Around nine minutes later, she was done tidying up and opened the bathroom door.
The lounge was quiet. Only Maddox was there, sitting alone in his wheelchair.
The lounge was colder than when she cin. It was like a freezer that stored frozen food. Also, Kimberly just took a shower and there were still swater droplets on her. She shivered tremendously. Maddox had his back towards her, and his whole person exuded a cold aura.
Kimberly stood still for a while before whispering, "Urn... Maddox, I've done tidying up." Maddox paused and looked back at her.
His eyes were full of rage, which made her so scared that she took a step back.
"Followout." He said indifferently.
Kimberly could only nod and pushed him out.
It was all like a dream. Benedict had sent her in here, but he immediately disappeared. His assistant was also nowhere to be seen. Didn't he say that his assistant would send her sclothes? But why was Maddox here instead? Kimberly couldn't figure it out.
"Are you disappointed?" Maddox suddenly asked in an icy tone.
When Kimberly heard his voice, she cto her senses and asked, "What?" "You sawwhen you cout of the bathroom. You're disappointed, right?" He asked again.
Kimberly replied, "...No, I was just thinking about where the other people went..." Maddox asked sarcastically, "Do you think I'll let other men see my woman after taking a shower?" Hearing this, Kimberly's heart skipped a beat.
"Did you forget what I told you yesterday?" Maddox asked.
He sounded cold. Kimberly shrunk her head into her neck and answered, "No." "Then why were you with Benedict? Didn't I ask you to stay away from him?" He asked again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKimberly pushed him towards the outside while she explained, "It was an accident." "Fine, explain it to me," Maddox said.
Kimberly didn't know what she should say.
No, wait. When did Maddox becso childish? And he was even interested to hear her explanation? Kimberly was stunned, and then she told him what had happened in the canteen. She intentionally avoided all the crucial details.
She had a quarrel with a few women, and then the women made a move against her first. Then, she fought back...
At the end of her sentence, Kimberly's voice sounded weaker as if she was the one who committed the wrongdoing. Maddox didn't say anything, but his breath becheavier. Kimberly didn't say anything more and pushed him back to his office. "If there's nothing else, I'll go first." Kimberly thought she was done for the day and was ready to leave.
However, as soon as she turned around, she heard Maddox's magnetic voice again.
"What are you afraid of?" Maddox asked.
"What?" Kimberly stopped abruptly and turned around in confusion.
Maddox turned around slowly. His cold eyes fell on her face, asking, "If it's someone else's fault, why don't you have the confidence to say it?"
Kimberly thought that he didn't believe her, therefore she apologized to him dryly, "I'm sorry. I know that this kind of thing is terrible. In the future... I won't do it again." "Won't do what again? You won't fight back? Or, will you fight with them again the next tthis happens?" Maddox questioned.
Kimberly felt aggrieved. Maddox bad wasn't letting her go. She felt a feeling rising in her chest, which made her really uncomfortable. She clenched both her fists. "It's up to Young Master Yardley. I'll listen to whatever you say," Kimberly said.
Maddox frowned when he saw how she was trying to hold back her anger.
"Are you an idiot?" He scolded.
