The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 828 Not hating

Mavis' heart was beating fast, and she was immersed in his blue eyes.

"Did that person hurt you just now?"

Hearing his concerned words, Mavis felt a warm current in her heart, and shook her head, "No."

As the music reached its climax, their dance steps also accelerated. The two danced in the middle of

the dance floor, and the people around them moved out of the way.

The music stopped, and everyone stopped dancing.

Mavis was in Anthony's arms, feeling his heartbeat.

It was a strong and powerful voice, which was reassuring.

After the dance, the pain in the ankle got worse. Mavis said, "Mr. Callahan, I'm going to the bathroom."

When the two were dancing just now, Mavis had been holding back. She was going to the bathroom to

apply a wet tissue with cold water, so as not to make a fool of herself for a while.

The moment she turned around, her wrist was pulled, and Mavis gave him a puzzled look.

"You don't need to call me Mr. Callahan when you're not in the company."

Anthony was a little dissatisfied with the title of Mr. Callahan. For some reason, he didn't want to hear

her called him Mr. Callahan, as if the distance between the two of them had been invisibly widened.

Mavis chuckled and nodded, "Okay, Anthony."

Anthony let go before she went to the bathroom.

In order not to stain the dress, Mavis carefully lifted the hem of it and moved slowly towards the

bathroom.

Although the high heels were beautiful, the price of beauty was also huge.

When she took off the shoes on her feet, she saw blood blisters on her ankles.

With a light touch, there was a piercing pain immediately.

"Hiss..."

Enduring the pain, she punctured the blood bubble, took out a bandage from her bag and pasted it on.

She really wanted to thank myself for this habit of carrying band-aids with her, which finally came in

handy today.

After the treatment, Mavis walked out of the bathroom. With the band-aid isolation, the pain was barely

tolerable.

Recalling his tenderness just now, Mavis returned to the main venue of the banquet full of joy.

But suddenly she saw Anthony talking to Lyra, the smile on his face was sincere, and his joy was

beyond words. This was the completely different mood when he was with Lyra.

It was a kind of love and joy from the heart.

Anthony, who was talking to Lyra , had light in his eyes. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

All her joy just now disappeared at this moment, and it was replaced by endless loss.

The time of dancing together just now was like she was stealing it. It was not justifiable, and it can only

be hidden in the heart.

Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Mavis lowered her eyes sadly, not intending to go up to ask

for a snub. She turned around quietly and left, intending to return to the car first and wait for the

banquet to end.

After chatting with Anthony about work, Lyra couldn't help mentioning Mavis again, "Miss Parker is

nice. Momo likes her very much, so don't miss it."

Anthony smiled wryly, and shook his head, "Lyra, you know, I am..."

How could he transfer his feelings to another person so easily?

Although Mavis was not annoying to him, that was all.

They were cooperative and agreement relationship.

Lyra didn't plan to continue talking to him about this matter, and changed the subject, "Spencer's health

has improved a lot recently, and I allowed him to do some outdoor activities."

Mentioning Spencer, Anthony's eyes flashed with guilt, and he lowered his eyes.

"Lyra, for the aquarium that Spencer asked to renovate, the goal is too big and too difficult. I have no

idea until now, is Spencer mad at me?"

"No, he just wanted to make things difficult for you, and he knew it would be difficult for you to

complete. It's okay. He's just saying it. Just do what you can."

Not far away, Malcolm waved to Lyra, and Lyra immediately said goodbye to Anthony. She happily

walked towards Malcolm, and naturally took her husband's arm.

Looking at the backs of the two, Anthony's blue eyes were dim and secretive. It took him a while to

remember the person who just said to go to the bathroom.

How long had it been? She hadn't come back yet.

Thinking of Mavis, Anthony looked around in the crowd, but couldn't find her figure, so he couldn't help

frowning.

At this moment, his cell phone vibrated, and it was Mavis who sent a message to him.

[I'm waiting for you in the car. My ankle hurts too much.]

Seeing this, Anthony regained his composure, and then walked out of the banquet hall.

Back in the car, he took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong with your ankle?"

Hearing this, Mavis replied flatly, "I'm not used to wearing high heels. My heels are worn out, but it's

okay. I've taken care of it."

"OK."

Anthony didn't say anything else, didn't feel any subtle difference in Mavis' mood, and drove the car.

The next day.

Mavis went to work as usual, made a new copy of the plan and sent it to the director.

The ankle injury made Mavis limp when she walked. On the way to the pantry, she met Nyla and her

group. Cambria stopped her way and made sarcastic remarks.

"Oh, aren't you Miss Parker, the intern who stole the show at the meeting? How did you become a

cripple? Did you do something you shouldn't do and get retribution?"

Mavis looked at them coldly, and said, "Everyone knows what you have done. Why do you want me to

bring it to light?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, are you warning us? Don't be rampant for too long..."

Mavis pushed Cambria who was in front of her, looked back and warned, "If you do enough bad things,

you will always get retribution."

After speaking, she jumped forward, regardless of the expressions of the people behind her.

This incident also taught her a lesson. Everything must be fully planned and prepared in order to be

foolproof.

After lunch break, Anthony called Zack to the office.

Zack's face was pale and haggard.

"Mr. Callahan, are you looking for me?"

Anthony squinted, threw a stack of documents over, and ordered, "Give these documents to Mavis, and

let her prepare a summary and send it to my mailbox."

"Yes, Mr. Callahan."

Zack went to Mavis with the documents.

After Mavis was called out, those people in the logistics department started gossiping again.

Especially Cambria and the people who were close to her.

"You heard what I said. Mavis must have hooked up with Zack in private. Otherwise, why do director

and Mr. Callahan take such good care of her?"

"With the character of Mr. Callahan, if ordinary people make such a big mistake, they would have been

fired from the company long ago, but she can still stay in the company."

Nyla also answered from the side, "Everyone is in the same department and they all do the same job.

Why should she be treated preferentially? This is too unfair. Millie, you have stayed in our department

for the longest time. To be fair, do we have to target her?"

The rest of the people all followed suit, "This kind of unhealthy trend should be eliminated from our

department. Otherwise wouldn't it bring down the ethos of our department?"

Millie was the sophisticated staff of the company, so she can naturally know what they meant.

Compared with an intern like Mavis, she didn't want to offend the regular employees, so she followed

their words,

"Before Mavis came, our department had never had such a trend. If everyone comes here by taking

advantage of connections, I'm afraid no one will really work hard."

Nyla's eyes revealed a hint of complacency. Once she was outraged, how could Mavis continue to stay

in the company?
