Chapter 31
Kimberly Shell would never forget Maddox Yardley's words.
Outside the house, she was just his assistant. Even when she was at the Yardley family residence, she was still not his wife.
Kimberly understood these things.
Their marriage was for the sake of their mutual benefit.
"Assistant?" Crystal thought about this and looked at Kimberly for a long time. Then, she sighed and said, "Assistant, huh? Well, whatever you say. Come and sit here after you've changed your clothes."
Kimberly walked over and Crystal began to comb her hair.
"Do I have to do my hair as well?"
"Of course. This won't do." Crystal looked at Kimberly's current hairstyle and said.
Crystal was quick. She tidied Kimberly's hair and cut two sets of bangs for her.
Kimberly's hair was soft and smooth. The two bangs that Crystal fashioned lay gently against her cheeks, complimenting her features. The tips of her hair were also curled up.
After that, she helped her to put on some makeup. "Done."
Just as Kimberly was about to fall asleep on her seat, Crystal suddenly snapped her fingers in front of her face. She was shocked and she opened her eyes suddenly.
In the mirror, a woman with fair skin coupled with faint pink blushes was looking back at her. Her long hair was charming and her red lips looked hot.
Kimberly was shocked by her own reflection.
"What do you think? Are you shocked by your beauty?" Crystal leaned against the table with one hand, glancing at Kimberly with a faint smile on her face.
Kimberly leaned forward and looked at herself in the mirror. No matter how hard she tried, it felt surreal.
Was this really her?
How could she be so good-looking?
"There's no doubt that this is who you really are. Your facial features are very prominent and your skin is good. However, you have neglected your skin, so it is a little dry. Bring this spray with you so that you could apply some whenever you feel that your skin is dry. Also, buy more facial masks for yourself."
As Crystal taught her these, Kimberly stammered and nodded, "Okay, I will."
"You're very beautiful. Maddox will definitely like you."
It was the first time someone had praised her. Kimberly was suddenly at a loss.
It was at this moment that Sam started rushing her, so Crystal pulled her out. Sam was shocked when he saw Kimberly. He pointed at her lips and stammered for a long time. Finally, he said, "The Young Master has woken up. Miss Shell, let's go."
"Oh." Kimberly suddenly got nervous when she heard that Maddox was awake.
Crystal accompanied her outside. The door was open and Maddox was inside with his notebook in front of him. His slender fingers were typing on the keyboard and there was a Bluetooth headset in
his ear. His thin lips moved occasionally. It seemed like he was working.
"Young Master, she's here," Sam stepped forward and said in a low voice.
Maddox ignored him and said something to the person on the screen of the notebook. After that, he turned off the notebook and looked at them with cold eyes.
At first, Maddox just spared a glance at him. But when his eyes swept over to Kimberly, there was a trace of surprise in his dark eyes, but he quickly hid it. No one saw it except for Crystal. She held Kimberly's shoulder and asked, "How is it? Isn't she beautiful?"
Hearing this, Kimberly bit her lower lip nervously.
Since the color of her lips were light, Crystal chose the perfect shade that suited her best. Now, it looked as if honey flowers had smeared over her plump lips. At this moment, her pink and tender lips looked extremely attractive, and this caught Maddox's eyes.
After dressing up, Kimberly became even more beautiful. The exquisite suit outlined her figure. The top hugged her thin waist and ample chest, while her pants wrapped her perky bottom tightly. Her long legs were complemented by a pair of stunning high heels.
She looked phenomenal but... it seemed like she was still lacking something.
Maddox looked up and paused as he glanced at her pink lips. He did not move his eyes away until a moment later.
Maddox thought about it and he realised what she was missing.
Temperament!
When she looked around, her gaze was timid and weak, like a kitten who had been abandoned on the street and had not seen its owner for a few days. She was akin to a lost kitten. How could she follow him to the banquet?
Thinking of this, Maddox's thin lips curled up slightly, and his smile was a little sarcastic.
"She barely passed."
Kimberly was shocked when she heard that. She was amazed by her own transformation, but in front of Maddox, it was as if she had been reduced to a state that was not even worth mentioning. She did not expect Maddox's evaluation... to be like this.
"Your skills leave a lot to be desired. This makeup is not suitable for her." After judging Kimberly, Maddox started to reprimand Crystal.
Crystal was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. "Not suitable? How's that possible? "I don't have much time. I don't have time to listen to your explanation. Get in the car." After he saying that, Maddox looked away with a cold face. He looked as if he was a king who didn't care about anything.
His behavior made Kimberly a little angry. How could he just sully over other people's efforts? Was it so difficult to praise her?
The timidness in Kimberly's eyes disappeared as she clenched her fists silently. She bit her lower lip and stared at Maddox angrily.
Crystal took a look at Kimberly, only to see that her beautiful eyes were full of anger, but it was this angry light that made her look lively, and her beautiful eyes were like shining lights.
Crystal looked at her and then at Maddox. Suddenly, she understood and she laughed.
She was stunned. Maddox... was not a simple person.
Thinking of this, Crystal patted Kimberly on the shoulder and said, "Well, hurry up and get into the

car.
"Crystal, I'll be going then. Thank you for your help today,"
Before leaving, she thanked Crystal and then reluctantly got into the car.
The door closed and Kimberly sat down. Her faint fragrance filled the space in the car and wafted into Maddox's nostrils.
The faint perfume mixed with her body fragrance created a new scent.
It was very light, yet refreshing.
Maddox frowned slightly.
He didn't like women's perfume, especially strong ones.
However, Kimberly's scent made him feel comfortable, and he subconsciously breathed harder.
It was not until he realised that he had made such a move that he suddenly returned to his senses.
"D*mn it, what's wrong with this woman?1' he thought.
"What's wrong with that scent from your body?"
he questioned her in a cold voice.
She came to her senses and pointed at herself. "Are you asking me?"
"Is there anyone else here?" he asked in an unfriendly tone.
Kimberly didn't know what to say.
The driver in front and Sam were speechless too.
"Although they were nobodies, they were people too, weren't they? Was the Young Master ignoring their existence?" they silently thought in their hearts.
"Well, Crystal said that she made this perfume. She thought it was suitable for me, so she... gave me a bottle." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
After that, Kimberly took out the perfume and showed it to him, completely forgetting what Maddox had told her just now. He looked at the bottle of perfume. A light pink liquid sat inside the bottle.
She was afraid that he could not see it clearly. So, she leaned forward and her collar inadvertently opened a little, revealing her fair skin.
