Mavis stood up abruptly, but because of the sedentariness, her eyes were dark.
Anthony reached out subconsciously, trying to help her.
She grabbed the table first and stood firm, then went to put on her coat after a while.
Anthony's hand paused, then retracted.
After she got dressed, the two of them took the president's exclusive elevator down to the staff canteen, ready to have lunch.
This was something Mavis didn't expect.
He would come here to have lunch?
"Hi, Mr. Callahan."
"Hi, Mr. Callahan."
"..."
The employees in Callahan Group who met along the way greeted Anthony one after another, and by the way, kept their eyes on Mavis who stood beside him.
In the past, Mavis would definitely be affected by such gazes, but now...
Just forget about it.
After working for hours, Mavis was so hungry that she bought a meal and sat down by an empty table.
She felt that Anthony would not sit at the same table as her when eating, as it would be too easy for people to gossip about it.
But to her surprise, Anthony sat opposite her with a meal.
In the company, eating face-to-face with him was completely different from in the Callahan Residence, because people here only knew that she was his assistant.
But seeing that he didn't take this to heart at all, but was eating on his own, Mavis dismissed her thoughts, regardless of other things. Now, having the lunch was the most important thing.
During the meal, Zack came over and whispered something in Anthony's ear, and Anthony left with Zack.
Mavis stayed there, took out her phone, checked the news, and ate leisurely.
She was looking at her phone in a trance when a female voice came, "Mavis, can I sit here?"
Mavis looked up, and didn't have much impression of the person in front of her, "Yes."
After speaking, she took out her earphones and looked for a show to watch.
"Mavis, do you remember me? We worked together in the logistics department before, but you probably don't have much impression of me. My name is Renata Donovan."
Renata?
It seemed to be vaguely impressed.
However, this person had no sense of presence in the logistics department.
Mavis took off the earphones and asked in confusion, "You... Is there something you want to see me about?"
Renata felt a little embarrassed, and pursed her lips, "Mavis, I know it's a bit abrupt to come to you at this time, but I really can't help it. I wonder if you can do me a favor? For you, just tell Mr. Callahan a few words."
Sure enough, she was looking for her to do business.
Feeling helpless, Mavis put down the fork.
"What do you want me to do?"
Seeing that Mavis didn't refuse, Renata quickly took out a test report from her bag. Her eyes were red and she said, "This is my mother's test report. She... has cancer and needs a lot of money for surgery, but my parents are all farmers, and taking out all their savings for a lifetime is not enough to operate on her."
"I would like to ask you to talk to Mr. Callahan, advance my salary for one year. I am willing to pay for the company. I will work hard. Mavis, please."
Mavis couldn't say no for a moment. After all, it was about her mother.
Fearing that Mavis would not believe it, Renata took out photos and videos of her mother lying on the hospital bed.
"Mavis, please help me, please. If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have come to you rashly. The doctor said, if the operation can't be done this time, my mother... probably has no hope of surviving."
