As Rebecca muttered a lot of words, Mavis hurriedly pulled her to sit down.
"How come you have become a workaholic now? I just returned. If I come back after work, isn't Callahan Group bullying honest employees a little too much?"
Hearing Mavis' joke, Rebecca could also guess that she was in a good mood, so she became bold.
"I heard from Zack that Anthony looked for you in Mofleunia. Why didn't you come back together?"
Faced with Rebecca's question, Mavis was a little embarrassed, but in order not to let her see anything strange, she made an excuse, "He didn't come back with me. After all, Anthony is the president of the entire group, and I am an ordinary assistant. Of course he is much busier than me."
Now she didn't even know which country Anthony was in, so why came back with him?
Seeing nothing unusual on Mavis' face, Rebecca felt relieved and asked her about the foreign environment.
After all, she was going to study abroad soon, and Rebecca wanted to know more in advance.
For each of Rebecca's questions, Mavis answered them seriously and patiently.
It was getting dark outside, and Timothy came back from outside.
Seeing Mavis and Rebecca sitting at the dining table, he was surprised but didn't say anything.
At dinner, Rebecca talked about the fun and interesting things she saw recently, and Mavis was amused by her. Her mood became better.
Originally, she thought that it would be difficult for her to integrate into them again after being away for so long, but now it seemed that she was overthinking.
Rebecca and Timothy had completely treated her as family and felt no discomfort.
After the dinner, Rebecca took her to take a bath and massage with her before letting her go.
Callahan Residence had dedicated masseurs. After the massage, Mavis really felt relaxed physically and mentally.
Back in the bedroom where she hadn't used for long time, seeing the neatly made bed, Mavis suddenly thought of many things in the past.
She felt tired after doing so many things today.
After thinking about it, she still took a set of bedding and went to rest on the sofa.
Soon, she fell asleep.
The scene in the dream was messy, and she didn't sleep well.
...
Around two o'clock in the morning.
The bedroom door was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in.
The man was lying on the bed in exhaustion, but he was attracted by the figure curled up on the sofa from the corner of his eye.
Mavis ... was back too?
After a moment of astonishment, he suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.
He was so tired that he didn't want to think about other things for the time being.
Anthony lay down on the bed and fell asleep without even taking off his clothes.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the room.
The person on the sofa slowly woke up.
Mavis sat up from the sofa, and in a trance, she saw that there seemed to be an extra figure on the bed.
She was dazzled?
Rubbing her eyes, she was sure that she was not mistaken. There was indeed one person on the bed.
Taking a closer look... it was Anthony!
When did he come back?
Why didn't she know?
Anthony was still fast asleep. Obviously, he was very tired.
On the originally extremely handsome face, because he had been away for a few days and didn't take care of it, the small stubble had grown, and he looked a little haggard.
Mavis quietly stood by the bed and watched him for a while.
After sighing, she then quietly walked out of the room.
After breakfast, Mavis went to the company and started working again.
With Anthony's return, she should resume her previous works, cleaning his office, organizing files, and so on.
Of course, these works were under the condition that he did not intentionally embarrass her.
On the desk, there were already many documents that Zack sent over the past few days.
