She was timid, and it was her first time participating in such an event, so she couldn't get used to it and couldn't help pinching Anthony's arm.
However, out of the most basic politeness, she smiled and nodded at the man.
Seeing that the man's eyes were still on Mavis, Anthony hugged her waist and made her closer to him. Then he was speaking indifferently without anger but prestige, "It seems that our two companies don't have a perfect match. From now on, we won't hold up each other's time. Suit yourself."
After speaking, he took Mavis to another place in the banquet hall and called Zack.
"Terminate all cooperation with Harrington Group."
Termination of cooperation?
Mavis was shocked. Could it be that because of the flirtatious look that Mr. Emerson gave her just now? So Anthony was going to terminate the cooperation with Harrington Group?
As far as she knew, Harrington Group and Callahan Group had always cooperated very friendly. Such a sudden decision should bring losses to the company, right?
She looked up at Anthony quietly and said uncertainly, "Mr. Callahan ..."
He lowered his head and looked at her. And his indifferent eyes never restrained.
As if aware of her entanglement and confusion, Anthony explained with a rare patience, "Today you are my companion. He dares to look at you in such a way and doesn't take me seriously. In my eyes, this kind of person is not worthy of cooperating with Callahan Group."
The implication was that Mr. Emerson was used to show his anger.
Even so, Mavis' heart was still warm.
She nodded slightly, but still whispered, "Thank you, Anthony."
This time she didn't call him Mr. Callahan, taking him as her friend.
Hearing the change of address, Anthony raised his eyes and led her to continue walking inside without saying anything.
The music of the banquet changed suddenly, from slow and melodious to dance music.
Mavis' body suddenly became a little stiff. Usually, dancing was required at such parties, but she grew up in a mountainous area, so she never knew how to dance like this.
Mavis held his hand, which tightened unknowingly.
Her nervousness was palpable, and Anthony knew that it was her first time attending such a banquet. There were many etiquettes that she didn't understand, so he explained them to her one by one, and it was rare that he didn't show any impatient expression.
"I am here."
This sentence seemed to be a reassurance pill, which relieved Mavis' tension and anxiety.
The further they went inside, the more people greeted and talked to Anthony.
Knowing his business status, it was not good for her to stand by his side all the time, so she offered to propose, "Well... I'd better go to the side and wait for you. You should do your work first."
Mavis was well aware that such a large-scale business party was generally the best opportunity for business elites to exchange information with each other, and it was also the best opportunity for cooperation.
But she didn't understand what they said, so she might as well go aside first, so as not to cause him any trouble.
Anthony nodded, "Wait for me where you are. Don't go around."
"Relax, Mr. Callahan."
Mavis gave him a sweet smile.
Anthony turned to leave.
His figure gradually moved away, and Mavis finally dared to breathe a long sigh of relief.
She moved her sore ankle from wearing high heels, and was about to find a place to rest. Just as she was watching around, a man holding a wine glass came over.
"My dear lady, is there anything I can do for you?"
The man's voice was nice, and Mavis looked up at him.
He was also blond, not people from Crana.
