My Killing President novel Chapter 45

Why do I keep feeling that everything he does was so suspicious and questionable?

Well, since the big bad boss said so, Annabelle was more than happy to oblige and she went to bed right after ending their call.

On the other side, Mu was alone in his car. The repetitive flashing by of headlights shone shadows on his curled lips. He seemed to be in a fine mood.

Mu had just sent Yoi home, despite her eager hinting and passionate attempts to spend the night with him. His mind was not with him and he was deeply disturbed.

What was the relationship between Annabelle and Ralphy?

Are they really seeing each other?

Mu’s eyebrow knitted in an undecided irk when he recalled the way Ralphy looked at Annabelle.

This woman really has a lame taste in men!

Next morning.

When Annabelle reached office, her colleague hurriedly informed her that Mu had called her in.

Annabelle intuitively puckered her face in rejection. But she really didn’t have much choice with Mu being her employer.

Annabelle came to his office and knocked on the door reluctantly, “Mr. Mu, you sent for me?”

“Come on in.”

Annabelle nodded and entered the room, but with a tightness to it.

“What’s the matter?” She asked.

“Progressing with the design?”

“…I thought you said there’s time?”

“Yeah, no rush. How about the registration form? Have you filled it?” Mu was oddly formal with her today.

Registration form?!

Her pupils instantly dilated. The SRD Competition!!

“No…Not yet!” Annabelle gulped.

Mu widened his eyes and looked at her speechlessly, then at his watch and drawled, “You have half an hour, after that your offer is voided!”

“I’ll do it right away!” Annabelle answered in jittery, her entire motivation to stay in Yun Rui rested on this competition. It was unimaginable if she’d missed it due to carelessness!

“Ok, hurry!” Mu barked her off.

Annabelle had prepared herself for another torment from Mu, but to her greatest shock, he didn’t say anything!

She rushed to her desk and it only took her a few minutes to fill up everything. There was just one detail that she didn’t know what to fill…

Marriage status: ________

Should she just fill in Divorced? What if Mu saw it?

Grr… Annabelle bit on her lips and pulled on her hair.

Fishsticks! Why is the organiser so busybody!?

By the time Annabelle realised, time was already running out and she quickly jotted down in panic then rushed back to Mu.

“Mr. Mu, here you go!” Annabelle handed the form over and tried to calm her breath.

Next thing her eyes widened slowly in panic when Mu lowered his head to double check it.

*Knock knock*

In the nick of time, his secretary entered the room and reported, “Mr. Mu, Shin Rui’s representative has arrived.”

“Noted, bring them to the VIP lounge and I will be there shortly,” Mu directed, “And pass this to them too!”

Annabelle released the big breath she unknowingly held when Mu passed her registration form to his secretary. She honestly felt that she needed to stay happy and positive or the stress being in Yun Rui will kill her; and the only good side was that she can burn some good calories from it…

“Mr. Mu, then I’ll excuse myself,” Annabelle retreated to the door, feeling slightly drained riding the emotional roller coaster.

“Wait!”

“Is there anything else?”

“You will be joining the meeting.”

There was a moment of silence and Annabelle gave him a jaw-dropping look…

“WHAT!?”
