The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 163 Queen is better than canary

Melvin clutched his heart and felt suffocated.

That was so mean!

"You've been getting more and more unruly lately. You act at will without my orders. It sounds like you

think a lot of Anthony?"

His hostility was overwhelming and he coldly pushed Chad away, walking weakly forward on his own.

Chad's face turned pale with fear, and he slapped his mouth twice with chagrin that he could not say

something like that.

He blamed himself for not having been in love with someone before, and he was also unable to comfort

his boss. Hurriedly, he trotted up, continued to help Melvin and explained.

"I'm sorry boss. I was worried about you before I came here with Fifteen, and Master Callahan...no! It's

Anthony! How can I be optimistic about him. Of course I am more optimistic about you, boss."

He leaned close to Melvin's ear and continued to whisper, "Although Miss Carroll always bullies you,

isn't there a saying that beating is a sign of affection and cursing is a sign of love. She treats you

differently from others after all. Maybe one day you'll impress her?"

Finally, what he said was quite pleasant.

Melvin felt much better.

Chad smiled ingratiatingly, and glanced at the crimson pinch marks on his left cheek, "But Miss Carroll

... really cruel."

Melvin rubbed his face and there was still some residual pain.

And the thought of Lyra and Anthony who went to have lunch together, he didn’t know what they will

talk. He was always upset and lowered his face quickly.

"Send two men to follow and listen to what they say."

Chad’s expression was horrified. He tried to weep, but failed to shed a tear, "Boss! Anthony is the head

of Security Agency. His staff’s anti-eavesdropping tracking ability is first-class."

Melvin had little expression.

Chad muttered and continued to advise, "If I’m found, Miss Carroll will know. I don’t know to explain.

You are not afraid that she’ll misunderstand you again? Why don't we just go back to the villa and wait

for her?"

He sighed quietly.

His own boss was too capricious, and when it came to emotional matters, he was like an idiot.

Melvin thought about it and finally compromised, "Are there any brothers who have more experiences

in terms of romantic relationship?"

Chad thought about it.

"It seems like Brad is the only one in a relationship, but he's not in Frayton. He's in Suham."

"Brad?"

Melvin was stunned and his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "He's the youngest and falls in love first?"

Chad smiled.

"Boss, you don’t understand. Although he’s young, his emotional intelligence is high. He has a lot of

brilliant ideas in his head. I heard his girlfriend is obsessed with him."

Melvin was silent and raised his head slightly, "When his task is finished, let him come to Frayton to

see me alone."

"Yes, boss."

...

Anthony arranged for a nicely decorated French restaurant. He took the initiative to pull out Lyra's seat

and help her order her food.

Lyra's face remained flat as she gracefully sipped some water.

Anthony stared at her with unblinking eyes. His blue pupils were flooded with admiration, "I remember

you like the quiet dinning environment. And I still remember what you like. If there is something not

thoughtful, you can let me know."

Lyra nodded, "Very thoughtful."

He softened his voice and continued, "Lyra, I haven't seen you for seven years since I was placed in

the Security Agency by my family. I happened to be in Frayton this time. ... "

I missed you so much.

Lyra raised her eyes to look at him and her memory was aroused.

She smiled, "Yes, seven years, Master Callahan has gone to the position of Director of Security

Agency. And you stand still. Congratulations."

Anthony's face went pale.

It was Master Callahan again.

And not Anthony.

"Lyra, are you getting unfamiliar with me?"

Lyra still had a faint smile on her face, "Master Callahan is joking. We have never really known each

other too well."

Anthony shivered a little bit and subconsciously tried to grab her hand,but failed to do so as she noticed

it.

"You don't even want me to touch you? I know you have a grudge against me for what happened back

then, but I was young, and I didn't have a choice ..."

"Master Callahan."

Lyra interrupted him. When mentioning the old times, she didn't look too good, "If you asked me out

today just to talk about this, then this meal is totally unnecessary."

"Okay, let's not mention that."

Anthony had the sense to shut up.

The waiter just happened to bring the food, relieving the oppressive atmosphere between the two.

The two were very quiet except for the sound of moving knives and forks.

Anthony was the first to break the silence, "I'm going to spend more time staying in Frayton this time. I

heard from Keith that you've been checking out the evidence lately. Don't worry. I'll help you."

"Great."

Lyra was not pretentious either.

One size did not fit all. He volunteered to help and she had no reason to refuse.

Anthony was happy to see how quickly she agreed with this.

His deep blue eyes were smiling charmingly.

As he elegantly sliced off a piece of steak, he asked carelessly, "I also heard that the man today is your

ex-husband. You signed an employment agreement with him, turning him into your manservant?"

"Yes." Lyra didn't hide it.

Anthony hesitated, "Do you still have ... feelings for him?" This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Lyra raised her eyes and her expression instantly went cold, "This is my personal business."

"Okay, I won't ask. Anyway, I'm here this time. I won't let anyone bully you."

Lyra's look was slightly complicated. She looked at the steak on her plate and said with a smile,

"People change. I haven't seen you for seven years, and you still remember my taste, but you don't

know that my taste has actually changed a long time ago. Can you understand what I mean?"

Anthony's face stiffened.

How could he not understand what she meant, but he was reluctant to admit.

It was only a seven-year missing, and now they were reunited.

Lyra ate carelessly and continued, "But you haven't changed. You used to be overbearing and liked to

make decisions for me. It's still the same today, but I'm not the same little girl who only followed you

around and didn't know anything anymore."

"Isn't it good to be overbearing? Snuggling in the arms of a powerful man and being a little woman are

the happiness that many girls in this world pursue?"

Lyra just laughed and didn't retort.

Perhaps many girls did.

But she had never cared to be a canary in a man's cage. She preferred to be her own queen.

As for men or something else, as long as she had money, she was happy to raise a few to do her

caged birds which was also good.

The meal was tasteless for Lyra.

Out of the restaurant, the weather changed and the wind was strong, which was cool.

Anthony took off his military coat and was ready to put it on her.

Lyra refused, "No, I'm not cold."

Anthony curled his lips in a smile and still draped his coat over her shoulders to wrap her tiny

shoulders.

Lyra's brow wrinkled slightly, not too happy.

It seemed that he still didn't understand what he was told during dinner.

She was about to speak again when Jalen suddenly sought her out and whispered close to her ear.

"Miss, Keith asked me to come to you. You guessed right. Just in the past few days, three groups of

people have been sent there to hunt down the released assassins. One unfortunately died on the way

and the other one was saved by us. He said he wanted to see you."
