But Anthony just waved his hand and said, “Have I ever lied to you?" Maria thought for a while, tilting her head.

How about that Last time in the park? Soon enough, Maria shook her head vigorously. This wasn't the time to think of unnecessary things. If Anthony said that she was free to go, then she would grab that opportunity.

“I'LL be quick! Give me just 30 minutes... No, one hour! I promise, an hour is enough!"

After saying that, she trotted into the study with the notebook in her arms, not even looking back.

Bang!

The door of the study was closed shut, Leaving Anthony outside.

When Maria was finally out of sight, Anthony let out a deep sigh, already regretting what happened. He actually wanted to say something more, but Maria immediately ran away.

The study was spacious. There were a set of high-end desk and chair, as well as a leather sofa.

He planned to Lie on the sofa while listening to the sound of Maria typing, but it was too late now. She didn't even give him a chance to speak.

Glurgh... Out of nowhere, Anthony's stomach made a faint but audible sound.

Assuming that what he heard was right, the bodyguard, Jack, asked, "Mr Wilson, are you hungry? If you are, I can ask Miss Jenkins to cook for you first."

“Who said that I'm hungry?" Anthony quickly retorted, Looking back at Jack with a cold set of eyes.

Jack instantly trembled. He thought that he would lose his job at that very moment.

Sensing what was really going on, Jack nodded and apologized, “I made a mistake, Mr. Wilson. Of course, you are not yet hungry. That's what you also said to Miss Jenkins just now, right?"

"Yes, I said that." Trying to retain his composure, Anthony changed the subject.

“Anyway, are there still biscuits in the fridge?"

Jack furrowed his brows, taking him a little while before he could reply, "Yes, sir."

Without anything to say, Anthony went to the kitchen to look for food. Of course, Jack didn't dare follow him.

What a prideful Anthony he was!

About half an hour Later, Anthony was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was checking on his phone using one hand, while the other one was pinching a biscuit from time to time.
