Chapter 125 - Hard On Herself (2/2)

Alvin merely glanced at Ean without responding. He checked the time and gritted his teeth.

'Why was she taking so long?' His men had already dropped him a message half an hour ago about the arrival of Anya.

Feigning nonchalance at Ean, Alvin shifted his focus to the file to complete all his pending work.

Ean closed the laptop and stood up grimly, ”Alvin Matthews, do you need an enemy right now? Our evacuation team is in that country, you are putting their lives in danger.” He was evidently annoyed by Alvin's task.

Alvin ignored Ean's rant and continued his work.

Ean gritted his teeth looking at his adamant friend. All these years, Alvin minded his work and expanded his company far and wide. They indeed had business rivals who work in the same field. They never bothered about other people, so they always played safe. However, Ean felt like Alvin was bored without drama and tension in his life hence he was looking out to make some enemies.

Suddenly there was the sound of the double door opening causing Ean to check behind him, thinking who had the guts to enter without knocking.

Ean furrowed looking at Anya. He was still having a hard time believing she was Fluffyball. He glanced at Alvin, expecting to see his dark face. Anyhow, Ean saw Alvin nonchalantly working without taking a look.

Ean was instantly pissed off realizing he didn't have the liberty to step into Alvin's study or bedroom without permission but Anya had all the bloody rights to go against Alvin.

Alvin waved his hand, asking Ean to leave.

Ean accepted the task unwillingly as an assistant, ”I will fly tonight and report to you on the progress.” He said like a grumpy friend.

Alvin's cold voice rang when Ean hadn't taken a step yet. ”I want the results.” He didn't care about the progress.

Ean silently scoffed and went towards the door as Anya passed by him. He closed the door hearing Anya's resolute voice, ”I am leaving with my family.”

'She is completely changed.' Ean thought by recalling Fluffyball who always had a submissive attitude.

Alvin flipped a page in the file he was reading as he hissed, ”Get out.” He didn't spare her a glance. Obviously, he was angry.

Anya: ”…”

She couldn't discern if he was asking her to leave the room or she could leave the mansion with her family.

Alvin's cold voice rang before she could assume anything, ”They will stay.”

Anya couldn't believe he was asking her to leave and planning to keep her parents and Zane in the mansion.

Was he playing with her? They were her family, not his.

Alvin's actions kept her parents safe. She was thankful for it. However, she was worried. She needs to get her parents out of the Oasis mansion before any words reach the Matthews family. She had lots on her plate, having another powerful family against her would be disastrous at the moment.

Hence hearing him do as he liked, she couldn't help but get angry, ”Alvin Matthews!!”

Alvin paused in his actions and shifted his eyes on her. Concern flickered in his eyes when saw her weak and exhausted… His eyes turned cold when he saw her still wearing that man's overcoat.

Anya didn't want to be angry either. So she tried to compose and speak, ”They are not safe here. Please don't make it hard for me.” She requested him.

His eyes dangerously narrowed at her. He believes her parents were currently not safe in the country but he could bet his place was safe. Hence he wanted them to be here until Harper could be controlled.

Nevertheless, he knew Anya didn't only mean the country was unsafe but his place too. And he wasn't making it hard for her, rather she was making it hard on herself by hiding her struggles from him.

'Tap' He threw the file on the desk.

He stood up from his chair and took his own time going around the desk while watching her every change in expression. She wasn't powerless, she probably had the power to get her parents away and go against him yet she was pleading with him.

Why was she trying to solve it smoothly?

Why was she so eager to get away from him?

Why couldn't she tell him the reason for avoiding him?

He stood in front of her shoving his hands in the pants pockets. She wasn't scared of him yet there was panic in her eyes.. If he was right with his guess, she was expecting him to throw her out of the mansion without letting her leave with her parents and son.
