Chapter 57
This shameless question rendered Kimberly Shell speechless. She looked at him for a long time and didn't know how to refute him. She remembered that he had brought her back last night. She felt a little grateful as she looked down at her feet.
"No matter what, I'm still grateful to you."
There she went again.
This lifeless look on her face.
Maddox's eyes were full of emotions. Was it because she was not interested in him at all? Was that why she had treated him like this? Thinking of this, a wave of inexplicable anger rose from his chest. He sneered and said, "I am just afraid that you will embarrass the Yardley family. Otherwise, I wouldn't care about you even if you die outside."
His ruthless words were like a sharp knife that stabbed deeply into her heart. Kimberly's lips opened and her fists tightened silently. In the end, she had no choice but to say.
"I understand."
After saying that, she turned and walked to the bathroom.
By the time she came out of the bathroom, Maddox Yardley had already left for work. Kimberly was about to change her clothes to go out, but suddenly she couldn't find her suitcase. The clothes that she had put in the wardrobe were gone as well. Kimberly's face changed. She turned around and walked outside.
She happened to see the maids coming over with a few rows of clothes. When they saw her, they stopped and shouted in unison, "Second Young Madam."
She was shocked and looked at them in confusion. "What are you all doing?"
"Young Madam, this is what Assistant Sorrento had ordered us to send over."
Kimberly was a little speechless. She suddenly remembered that Maddox had bought her a lot of clothes yesterday night. "All mine?"
"Yes, Second Young Madam."
The maids then pushed the clothes into the room and put them one by one into her wardrobe.
Maddox still had a conscience. Because his wardrobe was huge and his clothes were simple, he used up very little space, so the rest of the space was left for her. The servants put the expensive clothes into the wardrobe one by one and sorted them out. Then they said to her, "Second Young Madam, these are all yours. They have been sorted out. If there's nothing else, we'll go out first."
Kimberly looked at the dazzling wardrobe for a while, and then looked up at the maids who were about to leave. "Wait a minute."
The maids stopped in their tracks as if they were scared of her. They turned around and looked at her. "Second Young Madam, what's the matter?"
"What about the clothes I had put in the closet previously? And my suitcase?" NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Hearing this, the expressions on the maids' faces changed. The leader explained in a low voice, "Second Young Madam, the suitcase was too old, so we... threw it away, and those clothes too..."
Hearing this, Kimberly's face changed. "Threw them away? How could you throw my things away so casually?"
She asked angrily.
The maids bowed their heads in unison. "I'm sorry, Second Young Madam. It was... Second Young Master who asked us to throw them away, so..."
Hearing this, Kimberly finally understood. It turned out that it was all instructed by Maddox. He bought her new clothes because he disliked her old ones. At the same time, he also instructed all her old clothes to be thrown away.
Forget it. It was not their fault. They were also just following Maddox's orders.
"I'm sorry, Second Young Madam. Really... sorry."
"Forget it, it's not your fault. Where's the suitcase?" She had something very important in it!
"In the garbage room, I'll take you there."
"Yes."
Kimberly followed one of the maids to the garbage storage room. At a glance, she saw her suitcase that was thrown in the corner. She quickly walked over and opened it, and the maid followed her to the side and explained, "I threw this suitcase here directly without opening it. Second Young Madam, is anything missing?" Kimberly checked it and heaved a sigh of relief. "Nothing, thank you."
"You're welcome, Young Madam. But... are you going to take the suitcase back?"
Kimberly nodded. "Yes."
"But..." The maid hesitated and said, "Second Young Master meant..."
"You don't have to worry about him. If he asks about it, you could just say that you have thrown it away, but I took it back."
After saying that, Kimberly dragged the suitcase and went back. The maid followed her and wanted to say something else, but she kept quiet in the end.
After returning to the room, Kimberly wiped the suitcase, and took out a bag inside. There was a black dress in it. It was the dress which she bought when she just got married, but she never had the chance to wear it again after she went to work.
Now that she had no other choice, she decided to use it for the time being.
After all...
Kimberly turned around and looked at the clothes in the cabinet. Her eyes slowly sank. She said that she wouldn't spend his money, so she wouldn't!
In the office.
"Knock, knock—"
"Come in."
The door was pushed open and a beautiful figure came in, putting a cup of coffee onto his table.
"Young Master Yardley, here is your coffee." Kimberly put the coffee on the table with no expression on her face, then she turned around and was ready to go out.
Maddox's eyes were fixed on the documents. Suddenly, he thought of something and lifted his eyelids. He saw Kimberly wearing a black dress. The dress was graceful and decent. It wouldn't seem weird even if she wore it to work. Instead, it outlined her slender waist.
However...
This dress didn't seem to belong to the ones he bought yesterday.
Thinking of this, Maddox's thin lips moved.
"Wait."
Hearing what he said, Kimberly stopped and turned around.
"Young Master Yardley, do you have any other orders?"
Maddox narrowed his eyes.
She had put on light make up today, and her lips were painted with dry maple leaf color lipstick, which was the current trendy lipstick color. It brightened her original fair countenance. Her waist- length long hair hang loosely around her neck, which added a bit of gentleness and charm to her.
She looked even more beautiful than usual, but Maddox was unhappy.
"Where did the dress come from?" Kimberly was stunned when she heard that. Then, she pursed her lips and said, "It's mine."
Seeing that he was still staring at her, Kimberly had to explain, "I have been keeping it for a long time and I decided to take it out today."
Maddox was unhappy. "Why didn't you wear the clothes that I had given you?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I wouldn't spend your money?" Kimberly said stubbornly, "I'm just walking the talk."
"Hah." Maddox chuckled mockingly and said, "Are you sure that you aren't going to spend my money? Aren't you still staying in my place and eating the food that was bought with my money?"
"I..." Kimberly found that she really couldn't refute. She took a deep breath and said, "I know that all the food I eat and the house I stay in belong to you. I will work hard and let you deduct them from
my salary."
"Do you think your salary is enough?"
Kimberly was silent. She could not refute the truth. The Yardley family's house was so big, her salary would not be enough to pay the rent. "What do you want? No matter what, I will try my best to return the money to you. If there is anything I can do for the company, you can let me do it."
At the end of the sentence, Kimberly's voice got a little excited, and her delicate face was full of sincerity.
Maddox noticed that she was very serious when she talked to him about this matter. She was not being hypocritical at all.
