My Killing President novel Chapter 69

Annabelle’s heart was lifted to the throat again.

“Mr. Mu!” She greeted indifferently.

Mu noticed her cup of coffee and arched an eyebrow, “Tired?”

“I’m fine!”

“If you’re tired then just go home and get some rest.”

Annabelle was a little surprised at his gentleness, “It’s fine, I can still manage!”

“Alright then,” Mu nodded clinically and left for his office.

As soon as he left, Annabelle relaxed her nerves and went back to her department.

Thanks to the shock, Annabelle was productive all the way until noon. She added some finishing touch to her design and moved on to the Yuan Shi case with Covi. She found that Covi was a competent partner and they could work very efficiently and effectively together.

When it was lunch time, Yoi appeared by the doorsteps. And that triggered a tide of gossiping. Of course, everyone knew the sole reason for her visit must be Mu, the two probably were going to lunch together.

As Yoi sauntered past DoD, her gaze immediately picked up her adversary. She glared fiercely at Annabelle, playing their encounter that night in her mind.

Annabelle noticed her too and was speechless at her ridiculousness. She avoided eye-contact and completely ignored her in hope that she will pass by like a velociraptor in Jurassic Park.

Mu looked at the time and he was about to find Annabelle for lunch. Before he could put his documents aside, his door was knocked and Yoi entered.

Mu instinctively lowered his eyebrows and asked, “How come you’re here?”

Yoi pouted her lips and quickly nipped to his side, “Alistair, have you forgotten about me? It’s been a few days and you didn’t even look for me!”

And Mu realised it had been a while since he last called her.

“I was completely preoccupied, busy with the competition lately.” He explained monotonously.

“Is it?” Yoi rubbed coquettishly against him, “And I thought you had a change of heart!”

Mu furrowed his eyebrows and stare at her, “Are you grumbling at me now?”

Yoi was afraid to stir his anger. She hurriedly purred, “I was just too afraid to lose you. Can we have lunch together?” She wrapped her arms around his neck dallyingly.

Though unwilling, Mu didn’t have much choice.

“Ok!”

“Alright, I have booked a place!” Yoi hoorayed.

Mu got up and strode straight to the door, while Yoi hopped around to get his coat and followed closely.

When they walked past DoD, Yoi flung herself on Mu and grabbed on his arm. Annabelle was standing nearby waiting for Covi to get lunch and she saw them.

She knew Yoi was trying to mark her turf but they just looked comical like a shark with remora. Annabelle couldn’t be less bothered at her.

In the meantime, Yoi purposely closed in to her and called out, “Miss Xia!”

And Annabelle’s attempt to ignore her was in vain. She exaggerated a pretentious smile and responded, “Miss Han!”

“Hey, do you want to join us for lunch?” Yoi asked flauntingly.

“Sorry I have plans. Furthermore, that will just ruin my appetite.” And without giving her any further attention, she turned to Covi and smiled, “Let’s go!”

And the Annabelle left without giving a cat’s arse.

Colours faded from Yoi’s face…
