Chapter 7
In the conference room.
Kimberly Shell followed Maddox Yardley into the conference room and everyone was shocked when they saw her.
Everyone knew that Sam Sorrento was the only one usually by Maddox's side. However, there was a woman with him now. Everyone wondered what his relationship with this woman was.
Kimberly had been an assistant before. However, she had never been in a meeting with so many people before. The conference room of the Yardley Corporation was very big. After all, it was the top company in North City.
Kimberly felt pressured when she entered the conference room and she lost her self-confidence. She just followed behind Sam and Maddox.
Everyone was still looking at Kimberly when she stood inside the conference room.
"President Yardley, who is this woman?" someone asked.
Benedict Yardley was the vice president of Yardley Corporation. Therefore, he was in the conference room as well. He was a little surprised when he saw Kimberly there.
Kimberly was so nervous that she pinched the corner of her clothes and tried to calm herself down. Then, she slowly raised her head and looked at the people present.
She saw Benedict.
Benedict smiled when she looked into his eyes. He nodded his head at her.
At that moment, Kimberly was not so nervous anymore. She pursed her lips and smiled at Benedict.
Kimberly thought that Benedict was a gentleman.
Maddox saw their interaction.
So, he narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "She's a caregiver."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked.
Kimberly was dumbfounded as well.
"President Yardley, what did you just say about her?"
Maddox raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the person who had asked the question. He said, "Grandpa hired a caregiver for me."
Kimberly's face turned pale and she looked at Maddox.
She was obviously here as his assistant. She was not his caregiver!
"Coffee," Maddox said as she was still immersed in her thoughts.
Sam threw her a meaningful look when he saw that she was still standing there. Kimberly came back to her senses and went out of the conference room to make coffee. The meeting had already begun when she came back. She put the coffee in front of Maddox. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Maddox took a sip and frowned. "It's too sweet. Please make another cup of coffee!"
Maddox was being picky.
"It's too light."
"It's too hot."
"It's too cold."
Kimberly went back and forth several times over the coffee. She felt ashamed because everyone was looking at her.
When she was about to lose her temper, she thought of the situation in the Shell family and she managed to suppress her anger. She then made another cup of coffee for Maddox.
Bang!
Everyone was shocked when he slammed the coffee mug onto the table.
"How dare you be my caregiver if you can't even make a cup of coffee?" Maddox said.
Kimberly stood there with a pale face.
Benedict frowned when he saw what had happened. He couldn't help but say, "Maddox, that's enough."
Oh? His brother was helping her? This woman was capable after all.
Thinking about this, he sneered. "Brother, do you feel sorry for my caregiver? Shall I give her to you then? Kimberly bit her lower lip and her hands were trembling.
Maddox had gone too far! She finally understood why he suddenly agreed to let her stay. It turned out that he wanted to humiliate her!
Maddox thought she married him because of his money and social status. That's why he hated her so much.
"Maddox, why are you doing this? After all, she is..." Benedict said.
Sam interrupted Benedict before he could finish his sentence. "She's just helping President Yardley make coffee. I'm afraid you're being too lenient here, sir."
