Facing the night, she said sweetly, "Let's go, Anthony. Let's go home, and you can leave here when the sun rises. You don't belong here. Don't let me be your stumbling block."
Anthony didn't speak, but just went back to the little house with her.
She didn't know when her grandma went out, and the room was extremely dark.
Jaqueline lit a small kerosene lamp and explained, "The wind is very strong recently, and the surrounding circuits are very unstable. In order to ensure no accidents, the power will be cut off at night."
When the kerosene lamp was burning, there would be an unpleasant smell, and Anthony couldn't help frowning.
Seemingly aware of the change in Anthony's expression, Jaqueline smiled, "Is the environment very harsh? You haven't seen such a kerosene lamp before, have you?"
"I heard from my grandma that this kerosene lamp was made by my grandfather himself. It was a gift for my grandma as a token of love. In their era, a small kerosene lamp was the best gift."
Mentioning her grandfather, Jaqueline dug out a box from an old wardrobe with a lock on it, which seemed to be a very precious thing.
Jaqueline took the necklace from her neck, took out the small key inside, and opened the box.
Inside the box were a few old photos that had turned yellow, and a yellow white shirt. It could be seen that the shirt was well preserved.
"My grandpa used to be a soldier and had many uniforms, but up to now, only this shirt is left. This photo is the first time my grandparents met. This is the photo of me when I was born, and this..."
Jaqueline introduced the family photos to Anthony very seriously, but Anthony had already been distracted.
The two chatted a lot, about the past and the future, until Jaqueline was too sleepy to keep her eyes open, and the night chat time ended.
After having the breakfast the next day, Anthony left the small fishing village.
When he rushed back to Crana, Mavis had already returned.
When she came back this time, she told the Callahans in advance.
The moment Rebecca received the news, she immediately sent a driver to the airport to pick her up.
However, the first thing Mavis did after landing was to go to the company.
She wanted to see if Anthony was back.
When she entered the company, all the employees who saw her couldn't help but stare.
"Look who is that? Isn't she Mr. Callahan's assistant Mavis? She's back?"
"No, it was said that she went on a business trip, but there is no such thing as a business trip for more than two months. We don't know what she is assigned to do."
"And I also heard that the person who handled her business trip was fired by Mr. Callahan. It seems that it was because of the false order."
The gazes of these people were too scorching for Mavis to ignore.
She looked in the direction of several people, and those people suddenly lowered their heads with guilt, turned and left.
Taking the Callahan Group elevator again, and looking at the familiar furnishings, Mavis had mixed feelings.
During the time she left, the company really hadn't changed at all.
However, now she just wanted to know if Anthony was back, and nothing else mattered.
After the elevator reached the top floor, Mavis came to the door of the president's office, took a deep breath, and pressed her hand on the doorknob. With a click sound, the office door was pushed open.
After being away for so long, he still didn't have the habit of locking the office.
The succulent plant on the table was growing well and had already bloomed. Mavis picked it up, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but smile.
When she brought this succulent before, Anthony still showed a very disgusted expression. Wasn't it well taken care of now?
His desk was spotless and tidy.
The air was still filled with the aroma she put here before.
No.
Generally speaking, aromatherapy lasted at most a week. Why did it take so long and still have such a strong smell?
In order to verify her conjecture, Mavis walked behind the air conditioner and opened the cabinet hidden behind.
There were three layers of aromatherapy in the cabinet.
