The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 827 He is so gentle tonight

She was timid, and it was her first time participating in such an event, so she couldn't get used to it and

couldn't help pinching Anthony's arm.

However, out of the most basic politeness, she smiled and nodded at the man.

Seeing that the man's eyes were still on Mavis, Anthony hugged her waist and made her closer to him.

Then he was speaking indifferently without anger but prestige, "It seems that our two companies don't

have a perfect match. From now on, we won't hold up each other's time. Suit yourself."

After speaking, he took Mavis to another place in the banquet hall and called Zack.

"Terminate all cooperation with Harrington Group."

Termination of cooperation?

Mavis was shocked. Could it be that because of the flirtatious look that Mr. Emerson gave her just

now? So Anthony was going to terminate the cooperation with Harrington Group?

As far as she knew, Harrington Group and Callahan Group had always cooperated very friendly. Such

a sudden decision should bring losses to the company, right?

She looked up at Anthony quietly and said uncertainly, "Mr. Callahan ..."

He lowered his head and looked at her. And his indifferent eyes never restrained.

As if aware of her entanglement and confusion, Anthony explained with a rare patience, "Today you are

my companion. He dares to look at you in such a way and doesn't take me seriously. In my eyes, this

kind of person is not worthy of cooperating with Callahan Group."

The implication was that Mr. Emerson was used to show his anger.

Even so, Mavis' heart was still warm.

She nodded slightly, but still whispered, "Thank you, Anthony."

This time she didn't call him Mr. Callahan, taking him as her friend.

Hearing the change of address, Anthony raised his eyes and led her to continue walking inside without

saying anything.

The music of the banquet changed suddenly, from slow and melodious to dance music. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Mavis' body suddenly became a little stiff. Usually, dancing was required at such parties, but she grew

up in a mountainous area, so she never knew how to dance like this.

Mavis held his hand, which tightened unknowingly.

Her nervousness was palpable, and Anthony knew that it was her first time attending such a banquet.

There were many etiquettes that she didn't understand, so he explained them to her one by one, and it

was rare that he didn't show any impatient expression.

"I am here."

This sentence seemed to be a reassurance pill, which relieved Mavis' tension and anxiety.

The further they went inside, the more people greeted and talked to Anthony.

Knowing his business status, it was not good for her to stand by his side all the time, so she offered to

propose, "Well... I'd better go to the side and wait for you. You should do your work first."

Mavis was well aware that such a large-scale business party was generally the best opportunity for

business elites to exchange information with each other, and it was also the best opportunity for

cooperation.

But she didn't understand what they said, so she might as well go aside first, so as not to cause him

any trouble.

Anthony nodded, "Wait for me where you are. Don't go around."

"Relax, Mr. Callahan."

Mavis gave him a sweet smile.

Anthony turned to leave.

His figure gradually moved away, and Mavis finally dared to breathe a long sigh of relief.

She moved her sore ankle from wearing high heels, and was about to find a place to rest. Just as she

was watching around, a man holding a wine glass came over.

"My dear lady, is there anything I can do for you?"

The man's voice was nice, and Mavis looked up at him.

He was also blond, not people from Crana.

However, Mavis did not reduce her vigilance because the two had similar appearance characteristics,

and refused with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness. I am waiting for someone."

After speaking, Mavis walked away a few steps to distance herself from the man.

Everyone who attended the party will be accompanied by a female or male partner. This person looked

like a playboy, and Mavis didn't want to make trouble for herself.

After being rejected, the man did not leave, but instead chased after her, and took the initiative to talk,

"I really don't know which lucky man can make such a beautiful lady wait. The waiting time is the most

boring. We are so destined to have a glass of wine together? It can be regarded as making friends."

"Waiter."

The man snapped his fingers, and immediately a waiter came over with a wine glass and handed him a

glass of wine.

He was too enthusiastic, and Mavis couldn't refuse, so she clinked glasses with him.

After taking a sip of the wine, Mavis put the glass on a long table and said, "I still have something to do,

so I'll leave first."

Mavis wanted to leave as if she was running away, but unexpectedly when she turned around, the man

grabbed her wrist directly!

Mavis was shocked, glanced at Anthony who was talking to a business partner in the distance, and

warned in a low voice, "Sir, please let go! Otherwise, I will call people!"

The man pulled her towards him vigorously, closing the distance between the two of them.

"Beautiful lady, if you wait for someone in such a beautiful atmosphere, wouldn't it be a waste? We met

by chance in the crowd. That is the fate God gave us. Why shouldn't we live up to it?"

The man's eyes flicked back and forth on her.

Such staring made Mavis very uncomfortable.

"Sir, please behave yourself!"

She looked in Anthony's direction for help, but during this time, someone always walked to Anthony's

side, blocking her view.

The lights of the banquet suddenly dimmed at this moment, and the people around rushed to the dance

floor to dance amidst the sound of music.

"Miss, can I have the honor to invite you to dance with me?"

Although it was a question, the man kept tugging on her wrist, not giving her a chance to refuse.

"Take away."

A pair of big hands suddenly attached her waist from behind, followed by a voice full of warning,

"Which company? You touch my partner. Do you want to disappear in Suham?"

A familiar feeling came to her, and Mavis leaned closer to Anthony.

"I'm sorry. I admitted the wrong person, and I didn't intend to offend this young lady." Anthony's body

brought a strong sense of oppression, which made the man dare not do it again, and could only leave

angrily.

It was the first time for her to attend such an occasion, and it was the first time to be invited to dance at

a banquet. And it was this kind of attitude that could not be refused.

Mavis was dripping with cold sweat. His eyes were wet, like a frightened deer, so poor that people

couldn't help but feel distressed.

The palms of her hands were covered with thin sweat. She wanted to take her hand out, but it was

tightened by Anthony.

Anthony raised his hand to caress her waist, put her other hand on his shoulder, and moved slightly.

"Don't be afraid. I will be by your side."

The light of the party was very soft, reflecting on his face. Those azure blue enchanting eyes were

extremely gentle and patient. Mavis felt as if she saw an angel in a trance.

His big hand was very warm, dispelling the fear in her heart little by little.

Knowing that she couldn't dance, Anthony taught her little by little, speaking softly in her ear, which

once made Mavis confused whether it was reality or a dream.

She looked up with blurred eyes, just in time to meet his gaze.

They looked at each other, and Mavis' heart couldn't help but miss a beat.

Tonight he was really... gentle.
