"I'm coming."
Mavis was about to help clean up his breakfast plates, so she had to speed up and lay the plates and send them to the kitchen downstairs for the servants.
Anthony, who walked fast, still waited for her in the car for two minutes.
But these two minutes were extremely unpleasant, and he was using smoking to pass the time.
Mavis trotted towards his luxury car and was about to open the rear seat door when Anthony quickly rolled down the window and said in an unfriendly tone, "Sit in the front seat."
"OK..."
Mavis timidly sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt.
Anthony snuffed out the unfinished cigarette butt, quickly drove her to the company, and reprimanded her in a cold tone on the way.
"In front of several bodyguards, you are in your husband's car, but you don't take the co-pilot. Do you want them to discuss our relationship in private?"
Mavis squeezed her clothes nervously, bowed her head and apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't think about it so much and it'll cause you trouble. I will pay attention to it next time."
Anthony didn't look good, as if his anger had not subsided when he woke up in the morning.
"Don't help to collect plates on the table in the room next time. Servants will come upstairs to do it. You are Mrs. Callahan , the hostess of the Callahan family, not a maid. Don't put yourself in a particularly low position. Servants will not appreciate you. They will only look down on you."
He spoke bluntly, but made sense in every word.
Mavis nodded, "I see, not next time."
Her head was lowered and her face was gloomy.
Mrs. Callahan, the hostess of the Callahan family.
She didn't dare to think about these titles at all, and she didn't dare to own such titles herself.
After all, it was an agreed marriage, and she must stay awake at all times and know her position, so that she will be less embarrassed when she got divorced in the future.
She was afraid that if she took it seriously, she would be severely slapped by reality.
It was better not to look forward to that position from the beginning.
Anthony glanced at her from time to time as she lowered her eyes and looked melancholy.
Realizing that what he said just now was too heavy, he changed his tone and explained sternly, "Although we will divorce in a year, I said that in this year, you should enjoy the status in the Callahan family. I will give you a lot, and you won't lose too much if we get divorced in the future. Whether you want to stay in Suham to continue your business, or go back to Teflayria to settle down, you don't have to worry too much about expenses.”
Mavis smiled, "Did you forget? I wrote on the agreement document that I'll without any property or compensation from you. I'm just not reconciled to..."
She twisted her fingers around the skirt and continued in a low voice, "I want to see if I can make you really like me. If I can leave a different impression in your heart so that you can always remember me, then it's not a loss this year. If I can't do it, then I will admit defeat. It's because I'm not good enough, and you don't owe me anything.”
Although her voice was low, the car was quiet and Anthony could hear every word clearly.
There was a strange feeling in his heart. Anthony suppressed the inexplicable feeling and advised her in a flat tone.
"Feeling is the most unreliable thing in the world. I can't give it to you, and it will be the same in a year. You'd better not place your hope on this matter. Be pragmatic, and think more about how much money you need to compensate you."
Mavis turned pale and stopped talking.
Anthony was also silent.
There was an eerie silence in the car for a while.
More than ten minutes later, the luxury car stopped a hundred meters away from the company.
Anthony: "There are too many employees coming in through the gate. You are a newcomer. It will not affect you if you take a luxury car and get off. It is only a short distance through this intersection."
