“I understood, Madam Burgess,” Madison said.
“Good. Men are easy to please. They’re like kids. Please don’t let that vixen take advantage of your situation, Mrs. Williams.”
Madison was still holding Hunter’s box. Last night, she figured that she needed to talk to him.
But the fight this morning had put her plans on hold.
That afternoon, Madison came across an article online.
The delayed engagement ceremony between the Williamss and the Daviss was going to be held at the end of the month.
There was a picture of Hunter and Andrea.
He was wearing a stoic face in a gray suit while Andrea held onto his arm with a sweet smile.
The gray suit was the one Madison picked for him.
They seemed to be a match made in heaven.
Madison felt like her old scars were being reopened painfully.
Madam Burgess, who noticed Madison’s pale face, quickly set her phone aside.
“Madam Burgess, why are you reading that?
“That picture is an eyesore. You should look at heartthrobs in entertainment to make your day.
“I heard that there’s a newly debuted idol group called XO. The way they twist their waists is really hot.”
Madison, who was in a bad mood, chuckled at that. “You know this kind of stuff?”
Madam Burgess placed her hand on Madison’s shoulder. “Mrs. Williams, people can never be perfect.
“We learn what’s right or wrong through mistakes. We shouldn’t punish ourselves because of others‘ mistakes.”
Madison was surprised to learn that Madam Burgess was actually on her side.
Madam Burgess continued, “If Mr. Williams divorced you, he could divorce Andrea in the future, too.
“Give yourself some time. It’s-”
“I know. Prepare the ingredients. I’ll make dinner tonight for tonight,” interrupted Madison, as she didn’t want to hear the rest.
Madam Burgess‘ eyes lit at her rare attempt to please Hunter.
To Madam Burgess, Madison and Hunter were the perfect match.
She was certain that the engagement was done because of his impulsive decision.
Thus, his relationship with Andrea wouldn’t be able to last long for sure.
“Okay. I’ll call Mr. Williams,” Madam Burgess said.
Madison turned her phone off and stood up with a cold expression. She recalled what had happened for the past two years.
The Evans family had fallen, and her father was in a coma.
Hunter wasn’t the sole cause for what happened to her.
It was an undeniable fact that love blinded her vision, causing her to forget about others.
That was why there was an opening for others to take advantage of her.
Madison didn’t have much time left. Hence, she shouldn’t waste time by having a fight with Hunter.
Didn’t people grow up by withdrawing their claws and putting on a mask?
The presidential management staff made sure to hush their breaths.
Layer upon layer of burden weighed on them. It might take them one trivial mistake to enrage Hunter.
Brent stood next to him while holding a huge pile of documents.
Hunter’s eyebrows had not stopped furrowing since morning.
“Mr. Williams, the news of your engagement with Ms. Davis has gone viral online,” said Brent.
Although Hunter didn’t respond to that as he read a document, Brent was aware that he was distracted.
Not only had he been reading that page for five minutes, the document was upside down.
“I received a call from Madam Burgess-”
“She wants to leave the house?” Hunter finally responded.
Judging from her scoldings this morning, he assumed that she was causing a ruckus at home to leave.
“No. Madam Burgess asked if you’re going to go home for dinner. Mrs. Williams is making dinner tonight,” Brent corrected.
Despite the good mood, Hunter snorted. “Tell her that I’m busy.”
After giving it a thought, Brent decided to persuade him. “Mr. Williams, a lot of things have happened to Mrs. Williams recently.
“She’s thinner than she was in the past. Please be gentle to her.”
Hunter pointed at the scratch on his chin. “Do you think that she’s gentle to me?”
“I bet she has realized her mistake. She’s making dinner to make up for it.”
Hunter threw the document in his hand onto the table. “And must I forgive her because of that?
“Does she think that she’s the only one I need? I didn’t punish her for escaping, though. Just what does she want me to do?”
He kept thinking about how Madison and Jack held hands on the island.
Suppressing the churning resentment in him, he let out a long sigh.
He slammed the table. “Even if I have to jump off this building, I am not going to go home to have dinner with her.”
Brent relayed the message to Madam Burgess over the phone.
Five minutes later, Hunter’s phone rang. Brent didn’t know what Madison said, but he noticed that Hunter’s mood was improving.
“Do as you wish.” Hunter hung up the call with a smile.
When he met Brent’s questioning eyes, he coughed.
“She wants to bring me dinner. But on her own accord. I didn’t force her.”
Brent was at a loss for words.
No one knew Hunter’s favorites better than Madison. Thus, it should be easy to please him.
The only tricky part was whether he would give her the chance.
Back then, she had prepared dinner for him a few times as well.
Each time, she waited until midnight. Yet, there was no sign of his return.
He would give her the cold shoulder without batting an eye. No matter what she said, he wouldn’t meet her.
Madison was testing the waters when she called Hunter. Apparently, he wasn’t as cruel as he was before.
After making dinner, she went to Williams Group by car.
She was deeply absorbed in her thoughts while hugging the lunch boxes.
The mastermind knew Hunter and Madison’s situation like the back of his hand.
Hence, it was highly possible that he was an acquaintance of Hunter’s.
But who could it be?
Kelvin and Brent clearly could not be the mastermind. Madam Burgess was out of the question because she wouldn’t be able to keep things to herself.
Could it be one of the workers in the Williams Group?
Madison didn’t visit him at work before they divorced. At that time, she assumed he was protecting her privacy.
Now, it seemed like a joke to her.
The public was aware of Hunter and Andrea’s engagement. It was all over the news.
Yet, there wasn’t a huge change to Madison’s identity.
Be it the past or present, she was kept in the dark like a dirty secret.
She took the presidential elevator to go to the highest floor of the building. Every employee had clocked out at this hour.
Only Hunter and his secretaries were working overtime.
Her feet halted by the door.
There were six secretaries working for him. She could recognize the four men and two women.
The moment she entered the office, she met eyes with a lady sitting in a corner.
The lady adjusted her spectacles. Madison couldn’t see her eyes due to the reflection of the glass.
“Mrs. Williams, Mr. Williams’s office is right ahead.” Brent showed Madison the way.
The secretaries were buried in their works. She couldn’t observe much from that brief glimpse.
In order not to alarm them, she quickly left the area.
Brent knocked on the door, and an icy voice came from the inside. “Come in.”
He opened the door for Madison before taking his leave.
The curious secretaries came up to him. “Brent, who’s that woman?”
Hunter was known for his aloof attitude toward women. Other than for collaboration purposes, no women had ever shown up at this hour.
Brent smacked Whilly Dante’s forehead. The latter was the liveliest among the secretaries.
“You talk too much. Have you finished your work yet?” Brent said.
