"Anthony... Mr. Callahan, do I have to dress up? When will we... have dinner together?"
Mavis' speech had become incoherent at this moment. She was just too excited.
Feeling her excitement, Anthony's voice softened a lot, "You can dress up first. There's no rush. Just let me know when you're done."
"In the future, when there are no outsiders, you can call me Anthony."
His gentle tone completely disturbed Mavis' mood. She hurriedly forced herself to calm down, and agreed, "Okay Anthony, then... I'll get off work now, shall I?"
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Mavis started to circle the office area with her mobile phone in her arms, and said to herself, "If it's just the two of us, is this a date? He said I can call him Anthony!"
Mavis' face turned red, and she was overwhelmed with joy, like a young girl who just fell in love. And her heart was beating wildly.
This was their first date alone since they got married, so naturally she had to prepare to dress up.
But when she was excited, she quickly realized that she couldn't go back to Callahan Residence now.
She didn't want to make this matter known to everyone, and she will make a decision based on how their date was going tonight.
After clocking out of work, Mavis quickly ran out of the company and went to the nearest shopping mall to choose a skirt.
Every day in front of Anthony, she always looked plain, and today she must change her style to surprise him.
After some dressing up, Mavis was finally ready to meet him, and she can't wait to meet her longing Prince Charming.
When she came to the address he sent, she was taken to a private room by a waiter as soon as she entered the door, "Miss Parker, Mr. Callahan has reserved a seat. Please wait here."
When she came to the private room, a large bouquet of white roses was placed on the dining table. The lighting was dim and it was very atmospheric.
Mavis felt unspeakably nervous.
With a nervous mood, Mavis could only look at her phone uncomfortably. Even though she watched the entertainment news on the Internet, she couldn't relieve her tension at all.
The waiting time was always long, and Mavis looked at the door from time to time, always looking forward to his arrival.
But time passed by every minute and every second, and there was still no sign of him.
Mavis looked at the time. Her palms couldn't help sweating. Four hours had passed since she came here, and the sky outside was gradually getting dark.
Could it be that he can't come because of something?
Wiping on his name on the phone screen, Mavis sent him a message anyway.
[Anthony, will you come tonight?]
The message was sent and Mavis stared at the phone for fear of missing the message he sent.
But to her disappointment, there was no reply.
Another hour passed, and Anthony still didn't send any message to her. Mavis was very worried.
In the past, even if he was impatient, he would not keep putting her message on hold.
Since he took the initiative to ask her out today, he must really want to have a date with her.
After much hesitation, she still dialed his number, but a mechanical female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off. Please try again later."
She didn't give up, and called more than a dozen times in a row, but the phone was turned off.
Now Mavis panicked completely.
What the hell happened? Was something wrong?
With trembling hands, she called Zack. Like Anthony, his phone was also turned off.
What happened?
A premonition rose in her heart.
