Chapter 1123 He Didn't Put His Arm Around Your Waist, Just Like This

Mavis's momentary guilt for being late quickly disappeared as she slowly walked to the opposite side of Anthony's table.

About to take her seat, Anthony lightly tapped his fingers on the table, signaling her to come closer. The implication couldn't have been clearer.

Mavis pretended not to understand and said, "Mr. Callahan, we must keep business and personal matters separate. As the contracting party, I should sit across from you according to the rules."

Anthony didn't argue and tacitly agreed.

The conference room was eerily quiet, with only the two of them, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

Uncomfortable with the tension, Mavis initiated a topic, "We agreed to sign the contract today, and it's only you here?"

"I am enough," he retorted, "Where is Moore?"

"I sent him back to Bostrain. You had Zack drop hints to me, didn't you? You wanted him to leave early. Don't you know why he didn't come along today?"

Her words carried a hint of sarcasm and lacked friendliness.

To Anthony's ears, it sounded pleasing.

Without that annoying presence clinging to Mavis all the time like a shadow, Anthony's mood had improved significantly.

The finalized contract from the legal department was placed on the conference table. Anthony lightly pushed it with his fingertip, passing it to Mavis. "Double-check the terms?"

Thoroughly reviewing the contract before signing was a necessary step, and even if he didn't mention it, Mavis would have done it.

After quickly reviewing the contract, Mavis picked up the black and gold pen and signed her name neatly.

She stood up and extended her hand to Anthony across the table. "Mr. Callahan, a pleasant cooperation. Please take care of my company in the future."

With his hands crossed casually on the table, Anthony's deep blue eyes stared at her, seemingly with no intention of getting up to shake hands.

"You are standing so far away. It's inconvenient to shake hands."

Mavis's face stiffened.

Considering the generous sum of money involved in the contract, she decided to go around the long table and walked towards Anthony.

Standing right in front of him, she once again extended her hand, "Mr. Callahan, I... ah!"

A gasp escaped her lips.

Anthony avoided her outstretched wrist and instead gripped her arm, pulling her into his embrace.

She suddenly found herself sitting on his lap, feeling a surge of embarrassment. Her ears turned red, and she exclaimed, "Anthony!"

"I'm here," he replied.

His voice deliberately lowered, magnetic and slightly husky, with a hint of playfulness, he breathed into her ear.

Her ears tingled, causing her heart to tremble.

Feeling extremely embarrassed, she said, "Business and personal matters should be kept separate! Let's focus on the matter at hand!"

"The business has been discussed. Should we talk about our personal matters now?"

Didn't they agree on everything between them? What else was there to discuss?

Without waiting for her to ask, Anthony's large palm touched her slender waist, and the rough fingertips gently stroked her soft back waist. "How did Moore hold you? Did he embrace you like this?"

He suddenly tightened his grip around her waist.

In his dim eyes, there was a possessive desire to crush her into his body, even devour her completely.

His tone was jealous. Even if Mavis wanted to ignore it, it was difficult. But she was angrier than him, "Did you have someone follow me?"

Anthony snorted lightly, "Why do I need to track you? There are people who want me to know."

"Who?"
