The Most Loving Marriage: Don't Be Too Bad, Mr President novel Chapter 81
“But this design…”
“No problem!”
Before Annabelle could finish her sentence, Mu interrupted from behind.
She was stunned and turned her head back. Martin stood up and walked towards them. He looked at Alexis and repeated, “Of course, that wouldn’t be a problem!”
Annabelle frowned and looked at Mu in perplex. Mu signalled her with the corner of his eyes and he continued, “If it pleases you, Madam Alexis, we are more than happy to give it to you and let you name it!”
Alexis’s eyes lit up as she heard Mu’s words and he just responded with a mannered smile.
“Alright!” Alexis clapped and walked up the stage.
“I hereby announce that first prize this year goes to Miss Annabelle from Yun Rui!!”
Her announcement was like water into hot oil and it raised a furore in the crowd.
But Yoi wouldn’t have it that way. She stood up and said, “Madam Alexis, Annabelle did not submit her explanatory note. She should be disqualified, how can she be the champion instead?”
Upon hearing her remark, Alexis’s eyes were shrouded with a layer of ice.
“Oh~ now you sound like the organiser!”
Yoi blushed. “I am merely expressing my opinion for the sake of fairness towards other contestants.”
“Are you motivated by justice… or some personal agenda?”
“Madam, what do you mean?!”
Alexis no longer bothered to reply and her assistant stepped forward.
“Miss Xia’s explanatory note was here all along.” And she lifted the small card and showed it to the crowd.
When Annabelle saw that, she was confused and turned to look at Mu.
Alexis stared irritably at Yoi, “Miss Han, next time you should be more careful.”
Her words made Yoi turned pale.
Annabelle was surprised. She had kept quiet all these while about it and who knew, it was Alexis that publicly insinuated it.
Nischae’s eyes widened in comprehension. He finally caught light of what happened.
Of course! How could Annabelle be so careless?
“Madam Alexis, what do you mean by that?” Yoi got agitated as well.
However, Alexis paid no heed and her assistant stepped up again.
“Miss Han, during the competition, every nook and cranny of the building was under surveillance. What more the hallway and the office where the artworks was left. This time Madam had decided to let it slide, so it’s best if you cease your questions.”
Colours left Yoi’s face.
She had forgotten about the CCTV!!
She looked to the crowd and felt unsettled with the examining gazes. Her eyes met with Mu’s and she felt her breathe stuck in her throat.
Annabelle was the crowned winner.
After a simple ceremony, Alexis left without leaving a word and her assistant approached Mu and Annabelle, “Madam will visit your company and discuss about the design soon.”
Mu nodded respectfully.
“Miss Xia, congratulations!”
Annabelle just responded with a faint smile.
The assistant came closer and whispered softly, “Miss Xia, you’ve been wise!”
Only the three of them understood her underlying meaning.
“It was just a coincidence.”
Annabelle replied modestly.lightnoveldaily.com.
