Chapter 861 Let her keep warm
"I'm fine. You get off work. I'll leave soon."
She was sitting on the chair. Her eyes were a little dazed. Zack couldn't stay any longer, so he left first.
Mavis glanced at the president's office with all the shutters drawn.
He should have left, right?
After a while, Mavis sighed, finally got some energy, got up and left.
Go back to Callahan Residence.
Mavis found that Anthony was sitting on the sofa chatting and laughing with Rebecca. The moment he
saw her, the smile disappeared.
Mavis sneered, and went upstairs on her own, not even coming down for dinner.
"Anthony..."
Rebecca wanted to understand the conflict between them, but Anthony turned cold, got up and went
upstairs, without giving her a chance to ask questions.
What a headache!
What happened to these two?
They obviously had a date before, so why did they come back from Mofleunia and become like this?
The next day, they went to work as usual.
But Mavis and Anthony's strange attitude towards each other made everyone in Callahan Residence
notice it, and the atmosphere became much depressed for a while.
After the two left, Rebecca asked Timothy who was still eating, "Timothy, what do you think is wrong
with these two? I'm going crazy."
Timothy tore the bread and ate it unhurriedly, saying slowly, "What are you anxious about the young
couple? Just don't meddle in their business right now."
"I'm caring about my family. You think everyone is like you and being different? When grandma comes
back, let's wait and see."
After saying that, Rebecca drank a glass of milk and walked out. Timothy watched her leaving and
shook his head.
His sister was good at everything, but why did she love to complain and can't get rid of it?
Callahan Group.
Today was the staff meeting for the new quarter, and all the staff were present.
As the president's assistant, Mavis sat in the front seat, right under Anthony's nose.
As the end of the year was approaching, Anthony had assigned the final tasks of this year to all
departments, among which the most arduous tasks belonged to the business department and product
department.
In the meeting room, Anthony's aura was very strong, giving people a sense of oppression.
Anyone who came to the meeting could tell that Anthony was in a bad mood, unless they were blind.
In the past, there were still people who would whisper, but now no one dared to do anything, for fear of
being reprimanded by Anthony.
"I hope that everyone can give yourself the most satisfactory result in the last time of this year. Of
course, the company benefits, and you also benefit. Naturally, you will have a carefree Christmas
holiday, but--"
Anthony paused suddenly, and everyone couldn't help paying attention to what he would say next.
They were all waiting for his next words.
Anthony's eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped at Mavis' place for a short time, then looked
back and continued, "If anyone dares to cause trouble during this period, don't blame me for being
rude."
The large meeting room was very quiet, and none of the more than a thousand people dared to make
any strange noises.
After ordering all the work tasks, the meeting ended and many people left. Mavis was left behind by
Anthony.
In the past few days, neither of them had any communication. Every time she was supposed to send
the documents to him, Zack replaced her in the end.
Anthony felt it strange. Even if she lost her temper, she should have had enough trouble these days,
right?
Mavis stood far away from him, asking him while imitating his cold tone, "Is there anything to arrange
for me, Mr. Callahan?"
Hearing this alienated and respectful address from her again, Anthony frowned tightly.
"You are my assistant. Isn't it normal to leave you for questioning?"
Mavis didn't make a sound, just stood in front of him, waiting for him to arrange tasks. After all, she was
still his personal assistant now, and she should obey his arrangements.
"Why don't you come to my office delivering the documents in person these days? Do you think your This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
status is more noble than others?"
Regarding his words, Mavis lowered her head secretly, trying not to feel wronged, but just clenched her
palms tightly.
She didn't speak, and Anthony asked again, "Why didn't you answer? Are you dissatisfied with me? Or
are you dissatisfied with your work?"
He was clearly looking for trouble.
Mavis endured it for so long, and didn't want to bear it anymore, so she suddenly raised her head and
replied,
"I've always known my status, and I've done everything right. How dare I be dissatisfied with you? You
make all the decisions, and you've already decided, so why ask me again?"
Her sudden indifference made Anthony feel weird.
Seeing her feeling cold and sleepy yesterday pitifully, he couldn't help hugging her, allowing her to keep
warm, pinch his chest, and rub his abdominal muscles. And he took care of her until she fell asleep.
All afternoon, his hands were sore from hugging her.
But what about her? She wasn't nice to him, so she used this tone to repay him?
"If you don't want to work hard, go home. The company is not a place for your complaints, and I am not
a trash can for you to vent your dissatisfaction."
There were sarcasm in his words, and his whole body exuded coldness.
Mavis gritted her teeth, not allowing herself to show any other emotion.
"Yes, Mr. Callahan."
Watching Mavis transform from a hedgehog with vigilance just now to an obedient rabbit, Anthony felt
even more upset.
But why he was upset? He couldn't say.
It was very strange.
He didn't want to see Mavis confronting him, but Mavis' incongruous and superficial obedience made
him even more irritable for no reason.
Anthony picked up his coat, snorted coldly, and left the meeting room directly.
Mavis was the only one left in the huge meeting room.
Her mood that was still tense just now loosened directly.
In Anthony's eyes, she couldn't see any trace of guilt or concern for her. She felt so uncomfortable
yesterday, and she didn't see him caring her at all.
Today he satirized her instead. What exactly did he think of her?
She was a pet that came and went when she was called?
He would stroke her a few times when he liked her, and abandon her when he didn't like her?
After all, she was in the company, and Mavis can't express all her unhappiness here.
Back in the office area, Mavis started to get busy, sent all the documents to be sent to his office, and
left immediately after.
She wouldn't give Anthony another chance to talk to her.
After Mavis walked out of the office, Anthony dialed and asked, "Have you sent the things to the border
fishing village?"
"Don't worry. Everything has been delivered according to your order."
Anthony gave a soft "hmm" and hung up the phone. Jaqueline's Lyra - like face appeared in his mind
from time to time.
He could see the place covered by the shutters outside the office. Mavis was sitting at her desk,
working seriously.
Distraught and confused, he took out a pack of cigarettes, lit it, rubbed the space between his brows
and took the cigarette.
