The Most Loving Marriage: Don't Be Too Bad, Mr President novel Chapter 99
Annabelle couldn’t see her parents from the stage and she was completely unaware that Mu was speaking to them.
Mu walked closer to the stage. When Annabelle finally saw him, her restless heart felt a sense of security. However, as she saw clearly, she felt something was off… Mu’s eyes were shrouded with a layer of ice.
Annabelle was perplexed. Had she offended him somehow?
Or can it be because of Yoi again?
Anyway, now was not the time to be thinking about that. She intended to end her speech but before she could do that, Mu had already walked up the stage.
Annabelle was bewildered because that was not going according to plan. She quick wittedly spoke through the microphone, “Let us continue to hear from Mr. Mu!”
Mu walked pass Annabelle and his eyes was gleaming with a fierce menace.
“There’s nothing that I would like to add on. Let us once again thank Miss Xia for winning this prize for our company!”
Annabelle stood beside him heedfully. She felt the way Mu looked at her was rather odd, or maybe she was just overthinking…
During that time, the host came along, “Next, let us invite Mr. Mu to award this prize to Miss Xia!”
Huh? There was an award ceremony?
Mu smiled and took over a giant dummy cheque from the host. On it was written 100 grand.
“Miss Xia, we thank you for your good work!” Mu handed the cheque over with one hand and gestured to shake her hand with another.
Annabelle just realised that the winner had a prize money of 100 grand!
She smiled joyously and shook Mu’s hand.
After taking some pictures, Mu took over the mic and spoke, “Thank you all for coming and please enjoy the rest of the party! Your being here today means much more than I could ever express!”
They all walked down the stage and the party resumed.
Actually, business parties were quite procedural.
The crowd went on with their own things; chit-chatting, eat and drink and networking.
When Annabelle walked down the stage, an upbeat music was played.
Out of the blue someone yelled, “Mr. Mu! Dance with the champion!”
The host quickly cheered on, “May the first dance brings prosperity to Yun Rui!”
Annabelle lowered her food.
Is this a prank…?
On the other side, Mu thought it was a great idea.
He strode towards Annabelle and did a gentlemanly invitation, “Miss Xia, can I ask you for a dance?”
“I…”
Dance! Dance! Dance!
The crowd began to cheer and clapped rhythmically.
If she were to turn him down…
The idea itself sent chill down her spine.
Be it anyone else, it’s was too difficult to reject the invitation. One had to be considerate towards the other’s reputation.
What more, that person was Alistair.
If she were to reject him, she would most likely end up buried.
She threw him a bright smile and put her hand on his.
The two held hands and went to the center of the hall.
The music changed into a rousing tango, when the two faced each other, Mu suddenly put his arms around her waist and hugged her in.
Annabelle was taken aback and she fell right on his chest.
She raised her eyes and met with his dark, enigmatic gaze…lightnoveldaily.com.
