Powerful Papa With Triplet Babies Chapter 438

Chapter 438 After they got out of the house, the two of them went up the stairs. Anne wondered why Lucas was there. Did he just come to see the kids?

She had just talked about him at the dinner with the Fayes today, and now she was seeing him in person. She felt a little uncomfortable that Lucas did not know about their plans.

"Have you gone out for dinner?” Lucas asked.

"Yes, with my dad,” Anne said.

“I met Mr. Faye two days ago when he was having dinner with my uncle,” Lucas said.

Anne was stunned that they had met already.

Did they meet just for business matters?

“My dad didn’t say anything to you, did he?” Anne asked. “Are you worried?” Lucas turned his face with a playful look in his eyes. Anne's eyes flashed innocently. “I have nothing to worry about...” “Your father just asked me whether you and I knew each other.” “Then what did you say?”

"What did you want me to say?" Lucas looked at her and stopped when she went down the steps. Anne stopped and turned her eyes to the side. “You know we can't be together. There's just too much to think about...”

“Really? But your father also said that he would bring you to have a meal with me next time.” Lucas said, and then asked, “Will you refuse?”

Anne did not answer.

Lucas did not ask any more questions either and continued to walk.

Anne followed silently, watching Lucas get into the car and leave in silence.

She kept thinking of the offer to dine with Lucas. Did Nigel propose having the two of them together at dinner? He did not even mention it when they met yesterday.

He probably did not mean it.

Nigel was a bit too obvious with his plans if he meant for them to dine together.

She knew, and so did Lucas...

“Ms. Vallois, follow me to the president's office in ten minutes.” Xander walked into the department and said to her as he went to his office.

Anne's heart skipped a beat, and her back straightened. “The president's office... wasn't that Anthony's office in the Archduke Group?’

No way someone else had the guts to borrow it.

On the way to the president's office, Anne asked, “Is Mr. Marwood here?”

Yes."

Anne paused and asked, “Can I resign from being your assistant?” “What's wrong with me? I'll change.”

Anne paled. “That's not what I meant...”

“Then I can't understand you. The assistant's salary is almost doubled compared to your last job. Are you silly?” Xander said as if he didn't notice her awkwardness. Anne wanted to say she was fine with the money. She just did not want to be in the vicinity of Anthony!

Her excuse was that the work was too difficult to do.

It was not a very compelling reason, though. She was not always on time to work and even took paid vacations.

Xander knocked on the door of the presidents office and heard a man's low and intimidating voice. “Come in."

They went in.

There was only Anthony in the office, sitting on the sofa with his long legs crossed over each other. He was reading a document in his hand.

He did not seem to know who was coming in.

“Mr. Marwood.” Xander nodded respectfully.

Anne lowered her head, did not speak, and did not look directly at Anthony.

She did not even have the right to speak.

Anthony raised his black eyes slightly and said, “Sit down.

“Yes.” Xander sat down.

Anne sat beside him, put a notebook in her hand on her lap, and opened it. 1

Her duty was to be a subordinate, and she should only respond when she was called.

In the middle of work, Xander’s mobile phone vibrated. “Sorry...” Anthony waved his hand, and he got up and went out to answer the phone. Anne immediately stood up and stood aside.

She could not just sit in front of Anthony without Xander. Anthony was still buried in the document. There were only two people in the huge office. She felt immense pressure. Anne hoped Xander would return quickly. She did not want to be in the same space as Anthony. His presence was just terrifying. A few minutes passed, and Xander had not come back. Anne could not help but say, “Mr. Marwood, I'll take a look.”

“Such a good opportunity for you to plead to me. Are you sure you want to let it go?” Anthony's tone was alien and cold.

Anne's hand holding the notebook subconsciously tightened. This was not a work matter. Her identity changed all of a sudden, and she was no longer just a puny employee of the company. “No matter how humble I am, there will be times when I feel humiliated.” She lowered her eyes and answered without hesitation, “Come to think of it. It might be a good decision for my mother to leave this place. If I miss her, I can video call her.” Anthony's black eyes seemed to pierce through her skin.
