The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 916 Stop The Estrangement

Chapter 916 Stop the estrangement

Mavis stood up abruptly, but because of the sedentariness, her eyes were dark.

Anthony reached out subconsciously, trying to help her.

She grabbed the table first and stood firm, then went to put on her coat after a while.

Anthony's hand paused, then retracted.

After she got dressed, the two of them took the president's exclusive elevator down to the staff

canteen, ready to have lunch.

This was something Mavis didn't expect.

He would come here to have lunch?

"Hi, Mr. Callahan."

"Hi, Mr. Callahan."

"..."

The employees in Callahan Group who met along the way greeted Anthony one after another, and by

the way, kept their eyes on Mavis who stood beside him.

In the past, Mavis would definitely be affected by such gazes, but now...

Just forget about it.

After working for hours, Mavis was so hungry that she bought a meal and sat down by an empty table.

She felt that Anthony would not sit at the same table as her when eating, as it would be too easy for

people to gossip about it.

But to her surprise, Anthony sat opposite her with a meal.

In the company, eating face-to-face with him was completely different from in the Callahan Residence,

because people here only knew that she was his assistant.

But seeing that he didn't take this to heart at all, but was eating on his own, Mavis dismissed her

thoughts, regardless of other things. Now, having the lunch was the most important thing.

During the meal, Zack came over and whispered something in Anthony's ear, and Anthony left with

Zack.

Mavis stayed there, took out her phone, checked the news, and ate leisurely.

She was looking at her phone in a trance when a female voice came, "Mavis, can I sit here?"

Mavis looked up, and didn't have much impression of the person in front of her, "Yes."

After speaking, she took out her earphones and looked for a show to watch.

"Mavis, do you remember me? We worked together in the logistics department before, but you

probably don't have much impression of me. My name is Renata Donovan."

Renata?

It seemed to be vaguely impressed.

However, this person had no sense of presence in the logistics department.

Mavis took off the earphones and asked in confusion, "You... Is there something you want to see me

about?"

Renata felt a little embarrassed, and pursed her lips, "Mavis, I know it's a bit abrupt to come to you at

this time, but I really can't help it. I wonder if you can do me a favor? For you, just tell Mr. Callahan a

few words."

Sure enough, she was looking for her to do business.

Feeling helpless, Mavis put down the fork.

"What do you want me to do?"

Seeing that Mavis didn't refuse, Renata quickly took out a test report from her bag. Her eyes were red

and she said, "This is my mother's test report. She... has cancer and needs a lot of money for surgery,

but my parents are all farmers, and taking out all their savings for a lifetime is not enough to operate on

her."

"I would like to ask you to talk to Mr. Callahan, advance my salary for one year. I am willing to pay for

the company. I will work hard. Mavis, please."

Mavis couldn't say no for a moment. After all, it was about her mother.

Fearing that Mavis would not believe it, Renata took out photos and videos of her mother lying on the

hospital bed.

"Mavis, please help me, please. If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have come to you rashly. The

doctor said, if the operation can't be done this time, my mother... probably has no hope of surviving."

"I have to ask him about this. After all, I don't start the company. I can speak for you in front of him, but

the company has its own rules and regulations. Once there's a precedent for you, if someone else

comes to me, what should I do then?"

After thinking about it, she felt that these words were a little too impersonal, "Don't worry too much. I

just said the worst result first."

Hearing this, Renata nodded furiously, "If there is really no way, I won't blame you, Mavis."

Renata buried her cheeks in her hands, tears streaming down her face.

Maybe it was because she had seen too much suffering in the world. For her, Mavis was more pitiful.

Apart from that, she had no other emotions.

Interrupted by Renata, she had no appetite, so she stood up and said, "I'm done eating. Take your

time."

Before leaving, she said, "I will speak for you, but don't pin all your hopes on me."

With Mavis' promise, Renata quickly wiped away the tears on her face, "Thank you, Mavis. I am very

grateful, and I will not have any other demands."

Leaving the canteen, Mavis returned to the top floor with a heavy heart.

After hesitating again and again, she knocked on the door of his office.

"Come in."

Mavis handed him the finished work, and said, "Mr. Callahan, I just met Renata Donovan from the

logistics department in the canteen. Her mother is currently hospitalized and needs a lot of money. She

asked if she could advance her salary for one year."

Anthony flicked through the documents for a moment, then looked up at her, "You've agreed?"

"No, I know this is not in line with the company's rules, so I just promised her to tell you about it, and

didn't respond to anything else."

An imperceptible arc appeared at the corner of Anthony's mouth, and he said softly, "You're smart."

"Don't respond to such things in the future. Good and evil people mix up in the company. There are

many people with ulterior motives. I will ask Zack to check the authenticity of this matter. It's just this

one time. It won't happen again."

He didn't blame her?

Mavis was a little dazed. In a short while, Anthony had finished reading the materials she had

compiled, and closed the file. "It's well organized. I'm ready to get off work and pick up Spencer and

Molly home."

Ah?

Just... off work?

Mavis couldn't believe it.

Although they set a time with Lyra yesterday, wasn't it set for the night? This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Wasn't it too early to go and pick up the children now?

Seeing her still standing there stupidly, Anthony raised his eyebrows. "Didn't you understand? Do you

have doubts about my order?"

She froze for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I'll go out and pack my things right away."

After she left, Anthony ordered on the phone, "Check Renata Donovan's details, whether her mother is

hospitalized. If it is true, pay her one year's salary in advance, and sign the contract."

"Yes, Mr. Callahan."

It was winter, and the weather outside was getting colder and colder.

As soon as she walked out of the company, Mavis felt the cold wind blowing through her body in an

instant, and she flinched.

After getting in the car, Anthony raised the temperature inside, and Mavis gradually felt that all the chills

in her body were expelled.

Since they commuted together, Anthony drove the car wherever he went.

Mavis had always sat in the co-pilot, sitting in this position that many women dreamed of.

Thinking of this, Mavis smiled contentedly, but was afraid of being seen by him, so she turned her face

towards the window.

Little did she know, her action was completely seen by Anthony. He pressed the music play button, and

the cheerful blues music played. The atmosphere in the car was once very relaxed.

Neither of them brought up the original estrangement.

But Mavis knew that it still existed. It was just temporarily put on hold.

Once it was mentioned again, it will still explode.

But... at present, he had taken the initiative to show his favor, and Mavis did not want to continue the

cold war with him.
