Chapter 1189
Tommy could not help but look at Anne.
He drove the car into the parking lot and after saying her goodbye, Anne got out of the car and walked toward the elevator.
The elevator door closed slowly and was stopped by a hand that suddenly appeared.
Anne watched as Tommy squeezed his way in and asked, “Why are you coming in?”
“What, are you scared that Anthony is going to see this?”
Anne remained quiet because Tommy was right.
“His car isn’t in the parking lot,” he said.
“I need to work. What are you doing here?” Anne wanted him gone.
“I want coffee.”
Anne did not argue any further.
Leonora was talking to her mother at the moment and lowered her voice. “I’m really working overtime. Why would I lie to you? I’m twenty–seven, can you stop with the curfew already? Anyone would laugh at me if they find out. Stop treating me like a child…” She spotted Anne walking over and said hastily, “My boss is back. I need to go.”
Anne reached the main door and Leonora hurried over. “Welcome back, Ms. Vallois.” When she noticed that Tommy was next to Anne, Leonora froze.
“What do you want?” Anne asked.
“Are you making anything?”
“I can only boil water. Do you want water?”
“Anything you make.”
Anne turned to look at Leonora. “Make him a cup of coff-” She paused when she noticed the nervous look on Leonora’s face, and wondered what Leonora was nervous about.
Anne turned around to look at the office door. She could not see anything, but the tension in the air seemed to have trapped them and she felt as though she was suffocating.
Her heart raced as he threatened to leap out of her chest.
Anne immediately recovered from the initial shock and glanced at Tommy. “I just remember that we ran out of coffee. Go home. I’m busy, so I don’t have time for you.”
Tommy took the hint and glanced at the door. “I just dropped by to see you. Who would know that you don’t even have coffee. I guess I’ll get going.”
Anne watched as Tommy left anxiously and thought to herself, ‘What’s wrong with him? Why did he say that he is dropping by? If Anthony looks into it, he will know that Tommy is lying right away because the Authentic Clinic is run by the Archduke Group.‘
Eventually, she had to open the door, so she tried her best to calm down and walked into the office. On her way to the desk, she stilled when she spotted Anthony sitting on the couch, there was a glass of tea in front of him that remained untouched.
“Why are you here?” Anne asked, “Leonora didn’t say that you were here.”
“You put on quite a show.” He stared at her dangerously.
Anne’s pulse sped as she started to lose strength in her legs, knowing that Anthony had seen right through the conversation she had with Tommy.
