Chapter 1418: Are You Hiding Something From Me
Just now, inside the building, Anthony’s actions already made Alice Turner dissatisfied. Now hearing him speak like that again, she put on a stern face.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll call your dad and have him take you back." She originally thought bringing this youngster back would cause trouble at work, but what she didn’t expect was that this youngster added a lot of trouble to her personal life in just one day.
"Sis! Please don’t call my dad, I really don’t want to go back and get scolded by him." Anthony grabbed Alice Turner’s hand, using his unique way of pleading, "Sis! Sis! Sis..."
"Stop!"
Alice Turner raised her other hand, stopping Anthony from continuing. She knew very well that if she didn’t stop him, he would keep calling her until she conceded to his wishes.
Surprised by Alice Turner’s sudden interruption, Anthony beamed with joy, "So does this mean you agree not to call my dad?"
Although he was asking, he didn’t need an answer. From his understanding of her, she wouldn’t call his dad.
"I won’t for now; whether I do in the future depends on your behavior." Alice Turner didn’t really intend to call Anthony’s dad; she just wanted to scare him a bit. Judging by his reaction, her approach seemed effective.
Hearing this, Anthony immediately raised his other hand, making a promise to Alice Turner, "I will definitely behave and not speak carelessly anymore."
While speaking, he watched her without blinking. Seeing no small signs of displeasure, he was relieved.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Alice Turner suddenly changed the topic. Due to the lack of any warning, Anthony was taken aback by her sudden topic shift, but she assumed he was playing dumb, "Don’t play dumb with me. What exactly are you and Thomas Fisher hiding from me?"
She had been mulling over this in the car, but she couldn’t make any sense of it.
Hearing this, Anthony suddenly realized Alice Turner was talking about this. He thought she’d forgotten about it, but evidently, she hadn’t.
"I just met Mr. Thomas, how could there be anything we’re hiding from you?" Anthony shook his head. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to admit it; he just didn’t dare to.
Alice Turner had noticed the peculiar behavior between Anthony and Thomas Fisher since morning. Even if Anthony denied it stubbornly, she knew they had to be hiding something from her.
"Does he know that the relationship between you and me is fake?" Just because he won’t admit it doesn’t mean there’s nothing there. She’s neither naive nor clueless; she sees very astutely.
"How did you know? No... my..."
"Of course, I know. Just now, you and he were singing in harmony and thought I wouldn’t notice?"
Upon hearing Alice Turner’s words, Anthony blurted out a sentence. As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he had let slip, but when he tried to retract, he found it was too late.
Even though Alice Turner had caught on, Anthony still refused to admit it. He shook his head in denial: "I wasn’t harmonizing with him, nor do I have anything to hide from you. You must have seen wrong."
He couldn’t admit it, couldn’t admit it, couldn’t admit it; for important matters, he had to remind himself three times.
