Where did she go? Kimberly Shell was so nervous that her tongue was tied in a knot, "I..." No, Maddox only knew that she went out, but he didn't know what she went out for. Therefore, she couldn't mess this up.
Thinking of this, Kimberly took a deep breath to calm herself down and whispered, "I went out to buy something." "How should I punish you for leaving the office for private matters during your work time?" Kimberly's lips moved and she wanted to say something.
Sam glanced at her and explained, "Yardley Corporation has a rule that you are not allowed to leave without permission during work hours. You must get permission from your superior. Assistant Shell, your immediate superior is the Young Master. You left the office without permission before you got his approval, hence we will have to deduct a month of your salary as a warning." Hearing this, Kimberly's eyes widened.
"Deduct a month's salary?" She had been working for a few days only.
If her salary for this month was deducted. Didn't that mean that she won't be able to get her salary for a long time? "Yes, Assistant Shell. This is the company's policy." Kimberly glanced at Maddox and her lips twitched. "I'm sorry, I didn't know... Can I..." "No!" Maddox was decisive. He did not give her any chance at all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWell, it was indeed her fault. She left the office without saying anything. It was the company's policy, and the employees of the company must be treated equally. She had nothing to complain about. Kimberly lowered her eyes and looked at her toes. She did not defend herself anymore.
The enclosed space was quiet, and even the sound of their breathing could be heard. Maddox was a little surprised that she didn't say anything anymore, but after thinking it over, he understood. Why would a materialistic woman like her care about a month's salary? Hah.
Even if she refused to speak now, she would tell the truth sooner or later.
After leaving the elevator, Kimberly watched Sam and Maddox leave, and then she went to the door which was not far away. When she saw Sylvia's car waiting for her from a distance, she was happy and quickly walked over.
As soon as Kimberly opened the door and got in the car, she heard Sylvia asking when she was fastening her seat belt.
"Isn't that your husband's car?" Hearing what she said, Kimberly looked up and saw that Maddox's car was coming out of the parking lot. So she nodded and said, "Yes, but he is not my husband." "Pfft, you both are already married. How could he not be your husband?" "You're acting as if you don't know about that agreement. It's just a deal." Hearing this, Sylvia Hanover reached out her hand to hold her chin and said, "It's fine. I heard that the Second Young Master of the Yardley Corporation is not... very good at it." Kimberly stopped and glanced at Sylvia.
"What? You understand what I'm saying, right?" Kimberly didn't know what to say.
Sylvia stealthily cover and asked, "Have you both ever had sex since you both got married?" Kimberly blushed and bit her lower lip. "Why would we?" "Just as I said, the rumors must be true." "Don't talk nonsense, Sylvia. We won't do it." "Why not? You're both married. If he doesn't have any problem with that, why hadn't you both have sex yet?" "There must be a reason for that." Kimberly lowered her eyes so that no one could see the emotions in her eyes. "He doesn't likeat all. It's normal that he doesn't want to be intimate with me. You can't say that he's impotent because of that." "Kimberly, why are you siding with him?" Sylvia helplessly spread out her hands and asked, "Do you like him?" Hearing this, Kimberly's eyes instantly widened. "Impossible!" How could she like such a vicious man, who would try his best to ridicule her whenever he got the chance?! "Then why are you siding him? It's good for you if he can't do it, so you don't have to worry about him doing anything bad to you. By the way, about the button that you had askedto look at, I think we've got sinformation about it." "That fast?" Kimberly was a little surprised.
Sylvia grinned proudly and said, "Who do you think the Hanover family are? This is just a piece of cake!" "What did you hear?" "This button is very common. At first, my brother scoldedseverely after I asked him about it. He felt that it was not easy to find someone with this little clue. Later, when he saw the design of the button, my brother found that the quality of the button is very good. You can't find such a button in ordinary clothes." Speaking of this, Sylvia smiled mysteriously at Kimberly, and then her eyes fell on her lower abdomen.
"Kimberly, the baby in your belly, the father must be a rich man." Kimberly's eyelids twitched when she heard that.
"That's what I heard about the button. As for the rest... My brother said that you have to bring the button over and let him confirm it. After all, it's hard to see just from the picture. He has to see the button with his own eyes so that he could get more detailed information. Did you bring it with you?" Kimberly shook her head.
That button... was still under Maddox's bed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No way! Why didn't you bring such an important thing with you?" "I just found it last night. I'll go back and get it. I'll give it to you tomorrow." "Alright then. Remember to bring it tomorrow. I'll find the baby's father for you. Then, we'll get rid of that Maddox Yardley." "Well, Maddox is not a bad guy, you..." Kimberly paused, but she did not continue.
"I know that he is not a bad person, but he doesn't treat you well. He knows that you are not Frica Shell, and he knows about your ex-husband and the baby in your belly. For you, he is a very dangerous guy, do you understand?" Kimberly nodded. "I know." "You need to be more careful. You must protect yourself and your baby well. I will help you find out more and tell you as soon as possible." "Thank you, Sylvia." Kimberly bit her lower lip gently. "I'm glad that I've met you." Hearing what she said, Sylvia said, "Stop it! You're so annoying!" Kimberly hugged her. "Letsend you home." "Sure." Sylvia sent Kimberly to the entrance of the Yardley family's residence. After Kimberly got out of the car, she went straight through the door and went upstairs.
On the way back, she had been thinking about Sylvia's words, so she m was a little distracted. When she e distracted.
reached her room, she found that the servants were cleaning up the room.
They walked past her after they were done.
Kimberly didn't care about them. After entering the room, she found that Maddox hadn't cback yet, so she quickly put down her bag and went to the bedside to have a look. Kimberly was almost scared out of her wits. The button that was still under the bed in the morning was nowhere to be found! Kimberly suddenly thought of the maid who walked past her when she entered the door just now. She was cleaning the room. Was she the one who took it away? Thinking of this, Kimberly stood up suddenly and quickly walked out of the door.
Not far away, two maids were talking.
"I found this button when I was cleaning the Second Young Master's room. Could you take it to him and ask if it's his?" X
