My Killing President

Chapter 54 Covetous

After the exhibition, Annabelle deliberately avoided Mu.

However the more she attempted to distance herself, the more it piqued Mu and he closed the

distance.

How dare this woman say that I’m a leftover?

She herself said that we are the same! Ergo she doesn’t have a right to think that way!

Mu was able to console himself thinking like this.

Now Annabelle was focusing all her mind and might into designing. She was patiently assimilating the

philosophy of subsuming a story into her work. She aspired to create a masterpiece that can resonate

timelessly!

After a long day, she was unfruitful and decided to take a coffee break. Concurrently, she received a

call from Ralphy and it cheered her off her moodiness.

“Hey bro!” Annabelle bubbled gleefully.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Ralphy’s soft, bassy voice emitted from the phone.

“Working~”

“I heard you are the representing Yun Rui and taking part in the SRD competition, congrats!”

“Teehee, how did you know about that?”

“A lovely little bird told me the good news!”

“Dorie must be your lovely little bird then~” Annabelle chuckled.

“OF COURSE NOT. I saw you together with Mu during the exhibition, then I knew for sure you are in

the competition!”

“I see~”

“Are you free tonight? Let’s celebrate, your big bro is paying!”

“Wow! Of course I am, let’s ask Dorie along too!” Annabelle hoorayed.

Ralphy let out a helpless laugh, “Whatever, as long as you’re happy!”

“Okay! Then I’ll assign you to talk to her, I’m too busy with work here.”

“Ok.”

“See you tonight!”

“See you!”

Annabelle ended the call and walked out the office pantry. Right before she could savour her fresh

brewed coffee, she was interrupted by Mu’s secretary, “Miss Xia you’re here! Mr. Mu has been looking

for you, please head to his office soon.”

“Noted, thank you!”

“You’re most welcome.”

And Annabelle dragged herself to his office.

*knock knock*

“Mr. Mu, you looking for me?”

Her presence was like fragrant chamomile to Mu and it calmed his restlessness. He looked up at her

and asked, “Any progress with the design? Got an idea already?”

“Nothing at all for now,” She shrugged truthfully. If it were any other personnel, they wouldn’t be able to

say that with a straight face.

Her few years of exposure in western cultures had influenced her frame of thoughts and she adapted

straightforwardness.

“Alright. If you need any referencing materials at all just call the secretary,” Mu advised.

“Ok I will.”

“Are you busy tonight?”

“Yes.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“…busy with?”

“I’m going out.”

And first thing that came to Mu’s mind was Ralphy!

“A date?!”

“I think so.” Annabelle answered nonchalantly.

Mu was vexed with her lukewarm attitude. He straightened his face and spoke weightily, “Sorry to

disappoint, but today you need to stay overtime.”

“OT?” Annabelle’s eyebrows drew close together.

“Yes. The secretary had searched high and low for some helpful materials for you. There are many

rankers and winners from the past years, hopefully it can be of help!”

“But I am busy tonight!” Annabelle bickered.

“Miss Xia, is your career, your future more important or your dinner date?” He firmed his tone, “be

reminded that you are not only representing yourself, but the whole of Yun Rui, I hope you treat it

seriously!”
