Anthony's muscles at that time Looked well proportioned, and his body was very eye-catching for her.

Maria subconsciously gulped as soon as she saw him. She was trying to hold back her Lust for him, but he was simply too gorgeous!

She looked at him for quite some time. She almost seemed as if she wanted to imprint in her mind his perfect body.

“Nothing. I was just... Checking my phone," Maria said in a barely audible whisper. She then reached for her phone on the other end of the sofa and carefully put it in her pocket.

However, Anthony already saw everything. He just couldn't help but think that she looked so cute when she tried to act like nothing had happened. And so he decided to play along and changed the topic

“I have something to tell you."

“What is it?"

"Do you still remember Jacqueline Bowles? I told you about her Last time."

“Yeah. What about her?"

Maria remembered that Anthony's ex-fiancee was the daughter of the Bowles Group's CEO.

Her gaze fell on the sofa cushion's pattern. She was unwilling to keep her gaze away from it and Looked at Anthony as he talked about another woman.

“She called me just now," Anthony said.

Maria went silent.

"We have an appointment," he added.

“Do you think you can manage here alone? We're just going to talk about work."

Maria bit the inside of her cheek.

Noticing that she wasn't responding, Anthony asked, “Are you listening to me?"

She still didn't utter a single word.

“Are you jealous?” he asked again.

“I'm sorry, what? I didn't hear you. Can you say that again?" Maria asked as she came to her senses and looked up at him in confusion.

Anthony just smiled. "I said I want some fish for dinner. Can you cook it for me?"

Maria absentmindedly nodded.

“Okay. But are you sure you're coming home for dinner tonight?"

She figured that since he was going out on a date with his ex, they'd probably have dinner together later. She even thought it would be reasonable if he didn't want to come home for the night.
