Powerful Papa With Triplet Babies Chapter 172

Chapter 172 She knocked on the mecting room door and went inside. She was instantly grected by

the suffocating tension inside. Pursing lier lips, she looked for llic CFO gingerly, only to accidentally

meet a pair of familiar, brooding eyes. She instantly stilled and paled. Anthony sat at the seat that

was furthest from the door with his side facing the door. His perfectly sculpted features gave him a

cold, intimidating presence as he stared indifferently at her.

“Anne?” the CFO, Charmaine Turner, called out.

Snapping out of the initial shock, Anne forced herself to move toward Charmaine to hand her the

documents before turning her heels to run. She held her breath until she was out of the meeting

room, and instead of returning to the finance department, she went to the bathroom

to calm hersell

Inside the washroom, she stared dazedly at the frightened expression on her reflection as she tried

to make sense of the situation.

“Why is Anthony in the shareholders meeting, and on the first day I start working here no less? Just

how unlucky can I be? Anthony saw me, and he now knows that I'm working in Marvood Group.

What should I do?” Anne's hands on the sink began shaking.

She was far too immersed in the terror to pay any attention to the person who came in after her,

thinking that it was likely another person who needed to use to bathroom.

When she looked up to find the terrifying reflection of Anthony, her blood ran cold. She turned

around to face up to the danger and stuttered, “This... this is the ladies’ room.”

"What are you doing here?” Anthony questioned sharply. The pressure in his tone took Anne's

breath away. Her eyes darted around as she blurted out, “to use the washroom... No, wait. I lost my

job, so I came here to work... I didn’t think you would be liere. This is an accident...”

She did not have a clue as to how the impossible thing could happen.

“An accident?” He inched in. “Are you sure it's not your scheme?”

"Of course not! This is my first day...”

"And you ran into me on the first day here.” He reached out to grab her by the chin. “Hm?”

She panted nervously at the pressure on her jaw. Indeed, she found it difficult to believe that this

was a coincidence herself; but because it was truly an accident, she could only look back at him

innocently.

"Who brought you here?” He studied her like a demon in the dark

She bit down on her lower lip wordlessly.

"Would you prefer that I find out myself?” he threatened.

“I... I lost my job, and Tommy said that he has an open position in Marwood Group, so I came...

“She looked away and confessed. “You really can't survive without a man..." He tightened his fingers

around her jaw. “Don't...” She scowled in pain and struggled to explain, “This isn't what you think.

It's just a job... Umph!”

Her breath caught as luis shadow loomed over her, and her lips were taken by force. She struggled

with all her might, but any attempt to get away was in vain in the face of Anthony's absolute power.

"St...Stop..." Her knees gave in as the air in her lungs was drained. If Anthony had not pressed his

body against hers, she would have slipped down onto the floor. “Wly can't he just leave me alone...?"

she thought dazedly to hersell.
