Hearing this, Mavis could not hold on any longer.
She bit her lower lip tightly, suppressed her sobs and said, "It's okay. Is it safe on your side? Is it dangerous?"
When she was in Gibsomin Harbor before, she heard that Mofleunia was very chaotic. There were constant wars all the year round, and gangsters often shot and killed people on the street.
"It's okay if just dangerous. The new company opened here has encountered some troubles. I need to come forward to solve them. If everything goes well, I can go back in two days."
If it didn't go well, he didn't know how long it will take.
Anthony didn't say exactly what the troubles were.
A local villain captured the people of his company and demanded a huge amount of money from him. If they didn't see Anthony's people for a day, those people will kill a hostage in their hands.
The local villain was a well-known gangster boss in Mofleunia. Whatever he said, it had never been fake.
The employees in the company were innocent, and Anthony cannot disregard their safety.
Mavis remembered that she had heard from other assistants that the Callahan Group had opened a new company in Mofleunia to mine ore locally and prepare for jewelry business.
It must be very difficult for him to come forward to solve the problem.
Anthony: "Go home early. When I'm not in the company recently, you don't have to go to work."
"Next time I'll make up for the two of us."
Mavis held up the phone, listening to Anthony's answer, and feeling a little stunned.
It was the first time he explained what he had done and acknowledged their date.
"The main thing is that you are fine, and I will wait for you to come back."
"Well, don't contact me recently. That's all."
"Can..."
Before Mavis could finish speaking, Anthony hung up the phone on the other end.
That was how the first date went down the drain.
At this time, the door of the private room was knocked, and the waiter asked again tentatively, "Miss Parker, how long do you need? We will close immediately..."
Mavis didn't answer, just picked up her bag and walked out of the restaurant.
After she walked out of the restaurant, the lights in the restaurant were turned off immediately, and she sat alone on the bench at the door of the restaurant.
Recalling the joy of knowing that he was going on a date with her today, and the loneliness now, she was in a trance.
The sky at night was foggy. The moon was hidden in the clouds, and there were few pedestrians on the whole street. Only Mavis was sitting there.
Rumble--
A thunderstorm sounded. She looked up at the sky, and murmured, "It's going to rain."
When she was in the mountains before, such thunder was often heard, and every time she would be scared to hide in the room and dare not come out.
Now she dared to face such thunder.
The heavy rain came quickly, and the torrential rain drenched Mavis' clothes, and quickly drenched her completely.
The screams of pedestrians in the distance came to her ears. Mavis looked up and looked at the people running fast. There was a puff of smoke on the road, and Mavis' eyes were blurred.
Mavis held her face up with both hands, and then the rain fell. The heavy rain beat her pale face mercilessly.
It was time to go home.
Before Mavis got up, a car on the side of the road drove by suddenly, splashing a big wave, and the mud splashed her skirt instantly.
