Chapter 574

"I'm just a little scared of him." Since Anderson was already here, she couldn't avoid him entirely, but she definitely wouldn't take the initiative to see him. Anderson would only come to her whenever he wanted to see her. Not many people knew about Mayra, and if she went to see him, people might misunderstand and think that she had an ulterior motive. "Judging from the look of it, he probably doesn't have time for me. Let's eat. I'm starving." "Sure." They walked into the dining hall, and Shane immediately approached them. "Ms. Sadler, Mr. Barlow made a reservation here. Your companion can come along as well." "No, thank you. You're probably busy with work," Mayra said. "I won't disturb you guys." She turned to Gordon. "I suddenly don't feel like eating. Let's go, Gordon." Seeing as Mayra was about to leave, Shane immediately reached out and blocked her way with his arm. "Ms. Sadler, Mr. Barlow said that school is starting tomorrow. He booked a room here. After resting for a night, he'll return to Belchester City with you." Mayra refused without hesitation, "That won't be necessary. All my things are in a different place. It's too troublesome. Mr. Gorman, please help talk to Andy. There's no need for that. We'll get going now." Shane was here alone, so Mayra had the courage to reject him. If it were Anderson, she wouldn't even dare to breathe. As she turned around, she saw Hailey stepping out of the elevator with Harley. Harley spotted Marya and shouted excitedly, "Mayra! Mom… That's Mayra. I've talked about her." Hailey walked over in a luxurious custom-made winter gown, draped in a fur shawl. Her long wavy hair cascaded behind her shoulders, giving her an air of both cool detachment and alluring charm. "Care to join us?" she asked. "No thanks. We're occupied and will get going now," Mayra said. Hailey nodded and didn't say anything else. "Mom, Mayra has a boyfriend," Harley said. Mayra simply smiled. "We'll leave now." As they walked into the elevator, Gordon could feel that her palm was sweating. "I'm not nervous, so why are you? Aren't they your family?" "Family? What kind of family is that? I'll tell you all about it once we're home." Once they reached the underground parking lot, she saw a black car next to the exit. A voice rose. "Wait, I'm going to go grab something. I'll drive away immediately." The familiar voice stirred fear within her, and it instantly swarmed her senses. Mayra saw a chubby middle-aged man in his 40s running over. It was him. It really was him. All the miserable memories she tried to cast aside overwhelmed her within an instant. "No… Don't… Don't come closer!" Mayra shivered as she backed away as though she had seen something terrifying. She was clearly agitated.
