Chapter 836 Will he like me?
Seeing them coming back, Malcolm hurriedly handed over the kebabs he had grilled to Lyra, "Try it, my
wife, I grilled it specially for you."
Lyra took a bite.
Salty!
The delicate facial features were wrinkled, revealing a painful expression.
Being accustomed to the delicious food cooked by her husband, Lyra had no idea that the meat was so
unpalatable that she couldn't eat it at all.
Afraid of being beaten up, Malcolm hurried away.
He was taking revenge on Lyra who just said that she would marry Mavis and let him be the primary
wife.
After reacting, Lyra immediately chased after him, "Malcolm! You are dead!"
The two were fighting on the sidelines. Mavis showed envy, and a skewer was suddenly handed to her.
"Eat quickly. It will be cold in a while."
His tone was very cold, which was in stark contrast to Malcolm and Lyra's affectionate slapstick.
"Thank you." Mavis didn't say anything, and obediently accepted it.
...
The happy time flied by quickly.
Lyra leaned against Malcolm's arms. Her cheeks turned pink from drinking the red wine, and she
waved to Anthony and Mavis.
"Mavis, you come over to play when you have time. I will give the little cake to Spencer and Momo."
After spending such a pleasant afternoon, Mavis swept away the gloom of the past few days, "I will,
and I will work hard."
"Lyra, Malcolm, we're leaving now."
Anthony casually left Lyre Spiti with Mavis in the moonlight.
On the way back, Mavis was in a good mood and wanted to hum for a while.
She was afraid of making Anthony unhappy, so she just opened her mouth slightly and muttered the
lyrics in a low voice.
"In front of Lyra, you'd better remember what to say and what not to say."
Anthony's words dampened Mavis' good mood instantly.
She lowered her head and replied in a muffled voice, "I know Mr. Callahan."
Hearing the title of Mr. Callahan from her again, Anthony was disturbed for a while, stepped on the
accelerator, and the car rushed out with a buzz.
Mavis exclaimed in shock and could only hold the handle of the car on the side tightly.
At this time, there were a lot of cars on the road, and there were many pedestrians crossing the road. If
he was not careful, an accident will happen.
The speed of the vehicle did not decrease but increased, getting faster and faster.
Mavis was a little scared.
"Mr. Callahan ..."
It was Mr. Callahan again .
Squeak--
There was a screeching sound of the brake, and the tires rubbed against the ground for a long
distance. The inertia caused the seat belt to hold Mavis firmly on the seat, and a tingling sensation
came from the chest.
Mavis looked ahead in horror.
Just now, they almost hit a big truck in front of them.
Glancing at her frightened and helpless look from the corner of the eye, Anthony pinched her jaw and
kissed her.
It was domineering and tough.
The atmosphere in the car instantly became delicate.
He bit the tip of her tongue.
Mavis was in pain and wanted to push him away, but Anthony's shackle did not allow her to resist at all.
Anthony's big hand grabbed her thin wrists, raised them over her head, and pressed her against the
car seat, letting her be forced to bear this kiss.
After a while, Mavis was kissed until she was deprived of oxygen. Anthony let her go and gritted his
teeth in a cold voice, "This is your punishment. If you call me by the wrong name next time, you can
walk back to Callahan Residence from here."
Punishment?
It was not because she talked with Lyra a lot today, but she called him the wrong name?
"What? Can't understand?"
Anthony's gaze was still extremely cold. Mavis quickly retracted her gaze, "I know Anthony...honey."
Hearing the title, Anthony felt a little relieved, and stopped frowning.
The car finally hit the road smoothly.
Through the rear-view mirror, Mavis saw that her mouth was swollen. Recalling his overbearing kiss
just now, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
Although his kiss was tough, this was the third time he had kissed her on his own initiative.
She checked it on the Internet that men only kissed when they liked someone.
Anthony did this to prove... that he liked her at least a little bit in his heart?
When this thought came to her mind, Mavis couldn't help being taken aback, glanced at him secretly,
and then immediately looked away.
Early the next morning, Mavis went to work as usual.
The people in the logistics department still looked at her strangely.
Lexi arrived early and bumped into Mavis in the passage. She tried to avoid her, but was stopped by
Mavis.
"Lexi, I think we need to talk."
Lexi was so guilty that she didn't dare to look at Mavis. She just held the document, looking very
anxious, "I have to print the document. I don't have time."
Mavis sneered and directly blocked the way she was going to leave.
"What are you afraid of? You did the billing, right? I don't care who you are being bribed by. If you do
something wrong, you must have the awareness to pay the price."
She was not a kind person, and she will not let others bully her.
Lexi was overwhelmed by her aura, but still insisted, "I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm
going to work."
Mavis stepped aside and Lexi left in a hurry.
Lyra was right. She can only escape from such an environment by constantly improving her abilities.
Back on the job, the first thing Mavis did was to disband their working group and permanently block
Lexi.
For the mission assigned to her by the director, she did it herself this time, and never let anyone
interfere.
After spending the whole morning, Mavis sorted out the items that needed to be purchased, handed
over the details to the director in advance, and then sent the evidence of the last time to the director
one by one.
Regardless of whether she can completely remove the suspicion, she must clear her name.
Jaylin received the files from her and forwarded them to Anthony.
She might be able to target the people behind the scenes, but they were employees of the Callahan
Group after all, so how to deal with this matter depended on Anthony.
...
After Mavis left the company, Anthony received the news that she had clocked in and left the company,
and immediately gave Zack instructions.
"Find someone to follow her. If there is anything wrong, report to me at any time."
"Yes, Mr. Callahan."
In a mall, Mavis bought things according to the list, and the sky gradually darkened.
She was going to take a taxi back to the company.
Standing on the side of the road for two minutes, a taxi soon stopped in front of her.
Seeing that she had a lot of bags at hand, the driver took the initiative to get out of the car and help her
put them into the trunk.
It was almost time to get off work. Even if she took a taxi back to the company, it will take nearly an
hour because of the traffic jam. Mavis dozed off in the car without knowing it.
She ran almost half of the city this afternoon, and she was so exhausted that she told the driver to
remind her when she arrived at the company, and then fell asleep in a daze.
Boom--!!
A loud crash woke Mavis up from her sleep.
The windshield shattered. And sharp shards scratched Mavis' cheek, and the car collided with another Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
car laden with cargo.
The airbag of the co-pilot deployed, and Mavis felt a sharp pain in her calf.
But now she had no time to think about her injury, but the things in the car!
