Melinda's gaze fell on their holding hands. Her gaze focused for a moment and quickly looked down.

As if seen nothing, she walked towards Phillip.

It forced Ann to let go of the hand that was holding Phillip's.

Ann felt her hand suddenly empty. She lowered her head with her palm empty, as if the warmth of his hand was still there.

However, now she was unable to approach.

Phillip saw Ann standing quietly aside with lowered head and eyelids, looking lonely.

He frowned and was about to speak, but Melinda stopped him.

"Phillip, you haven't gone home for a long time. Your grandfather has been talking about you all this time. And I haven't seen Carson and Jackson for a long time."

Phillip's gaze was still on Ann aside and nodded lightly.

"I understand. Let the driver send Carson and Jackson back home today."

Melinda furrowed her brows and felt a little unsatisfied.

"What do you mean by sending Carson and Jackson back? No matter how busy the work is, you can't always live outside. Your health will be affected after a long time. You should go back together!" Phillip pursed his lips. When he raised his head, he saw Ann open the office door, trying to leave quietly. He was irritated by her actions, so he strode over and grabbed Ann's hand that was holding the door. "Where do you want to go?"

Phillip's tone was a little tense. A person like him who had always been well-prepared now suddenly had rare nervous and uneasy feelings.

Ann felt the gaze behind staring at her. She pursed her lips and winked at him playfully.

"Mrs. Moore wants to talk to you. It's improper for me to be here. Besides, I still have work to do."

Phillip squinted at her suspiciously.

"Really?"

He didn't want to introduce her to his family so early because he was afraid that she would run away.

Sometimes, this woman was as timid as a turtle. She only dared to stick her head out carefully. Once she sensed any movement, she would immediately shrink herself into the turtle shell. He would never allow this to happen!

Ann blinked innocently. "Really! This is the beautiful auntie who brought you to see me when we were young. Other than you and Dad, she was the best person to me at that time." How could such a good person make her afraid?

But how could she force her to break up with him...

Seeing that Phillip was still unwilling to let her go, Ann sighed. She leaned closer to Phillip with a serious face.

"Phillip, I admit that I am very timid and insecure. But for our relationship, I am serious. You have to believe me."

Phillip looked at Ann's face. Her eyes were calm and firm, and her face was serious.

Phillip's eyes narrowed slightly as he slightly loosened his hand that was holding onto Ann's arm.

"Wait for me for lunch."

Ann smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll wait for you at the usual place."

Ann walked out of the office and stood in the corridor. She looked sideways at the closed door. She pursed her lips and the smile on her face slowly faded.

The distance between them was just a door.

One was an ordinary employee, and the other was a noble president.

Like two parallel lines that could not be crossed.

She thought of how Phillip had grabbed her hand and looked at her nervously.

Over and over again, she confirmed that it was not because she was afraid, nor was it because she wanted to give up to leave.

Ann closed her eyes and continued to cheer herself up.

If she chose to give up at this time, it was not only unfair to Phillip, but also irresponsible for herself.

She had to believe in Phillip and also herself.

As long as they worked together, everything would be fine.

After figuring it out, Ann's footsteps became much lighter.000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
