Chapter 630 Prosperity
"I was the one taking care of you!" Dorie protested.
Su did not argue and he nodded, "Yeah!"
Dorie smiled contentedly.
When Annabelle looked at how they interacted, she was restful.
Although Su had a bad history with Yoi, she could see that Su was a trustworthy man. Therefore,
Annabelle felt restful if he were to be together with Dorie.
Annabelle looked at them and smiled heartily.
After spending the afternoon there, Alistair came and picked Annabelle up.
As she was sitting in the car, she continued to smile. Alistair turned his head over and looked at her,
"What are you thinking? What made you so happy?"
Annabelle tilted her head, "You could tell?"
"You are smiling all the time, why couldn't I?"
Annabelle smiled, "Actually, it's nothing. Today I saw that Dorie and Su was doing great together. I was
just happy for them!"
"Are they together now?"
Annabelle nodded, "Yeah, Su rented a place one floor under Dorie's unit."
When Alistair heard that, his lips curled up and didn't say anything else. They were both men and he
could understand what he was doing. Since Su decided to do that, he needed to invest at least that
much effort.
"It seems to me that they have potential!"
Annabelle nodded, "Dorie is a good woman, but she isn't fated with my brother. Now that she ended
with Su, I am happy for her!"
Alistair stretched out his hand and held Annabelle's, "All right, they have their own destiny, just let them
be!"
When Annabelle heard that, she nodded.
There was no point in interfering in their matters. But when Annabelle looked at how well they were
doing, she was happy for them.
At that moment, Alistair recalled something all of a sudden and he grabbed her hand, "Let's think of
something more practical, such as what we will be eating for dinner?"
Annabelle recalled something all of a sudden and she said, "Ah, right! Grandma asked us to go back
for dinner!"
"Going back again?"
Annabelle nodded and she looked at Alistair, "Why? You don't want to?"
Alistair simply smiled, "I want to spend some quality time with you alone!"
"We can do that any time, but grandma asked us to go back, we have to!"
"Sigh… Alright!"
Alistair had no other choice but to turn the car around as he drove to the Mu House.
One would always think that life can stay the same, or just carry on peacefully, quietly and happily.
However, life is also full of surprises that reminds you about the cruel reality.
The next day.
Annabelle heard the news in the company.
The Prosperity Group was collaborating with Yun Rui for a project.
The collaboration wasn't anything of concern but Prosperity's background. It was known that the
president of Prosperity Group was a mob boss. Not only that, he had served jail time. Although he had
several businesses under him, due to his sensitive background, most people would think that he was
still dealing in illegal businesses.
When Annabelle reached the coffee house, she saw Alistair having a business meeting with another
man.
"Mr. Kaleb, I don't understand why you would choose my company!" Alistair looked at the person in
front of him and said. Although they had never associated with each other, he knew what kind of
person this Mr. Kaleb was and his background.
Mr. Kaleb had a gentle expression and he was nothing like the rumor described, having a menacing
and fierce temperament.
"You should know that my company specializes in jewelries, not real estate!" Alistair said. He was
conservative when presented with such a sweet deal.
Brother Kaleb reclined to his seat and looked at Alistair. His lips curled up confidently, "President Mu,
Yun Rui is indeed a jewelry company. But what about those companies under your personal name?
Don't tell me you don't have other assets. Or… You don't want to consider a business relationship with
me?"
When Alistair heard that, he was stunned.
It was obvious that the other party came prepared.
Alistair pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Kaleb, I think this will be a wonderful cooperation between
the two of us!"
Mr. Kaleb smiled, "That's right, this is clearly a win-win situation!"
Alistair smiled, "I'll get my assistant to draft a contract!"
"Alright, I'll wait for your good news!"
After the two of them struck the deal, Annabelle appeared.
The moment Annabelle appeared, brother Kaleb's gaze was fixed on her.
Because they were simply… Too identical!
Not just the looks, even their temperament was completely identical.
Annabelle walked over and Alistair saw her as well. He stretched out his hand and Annabelle placed
her hand on his palm.
"Are the two of you still discussing business matters?" Annabelle asked.
Alistair nodded, "We were just done!"
At that time, brother Kaleb looked at Annabelle and said, "Miss Xia, we meet again!"
The moment he said that, Annabelle and Alistair looked at brother Kaleb together.
Annabelle's eyebrows lowered. The man did a look at little familiar but she just couldn't remember
where she had seen him before, "May I know you are…"
Brother Kaleb smiled, "Have you forgotten about me? You were the one that bought me medicine
outside the supermarket. If it wasn't for you, I might be lying in the hospital already!" Brother Kaleb
said.
When Annabelle heard that, she recalled it suddenly and she smiled, "I remembered it now. Sorry, I
didn't recognize you!"
"It's fine, I have always wanted to thank you, Miss Xia, but I just didn't know where you are!"
"Don't worry about it. I simply did what anyone would do. However, how did you know that my surname
is Xia?"
"Your name tag!" Brother Kaleb said without hiding anything.
Annabelle lowered her head and looked at her name tag. After that she broke into a chuckle, "Sorry
about that, I am just getting clumsier lately!"
Brother Kaleb smiled.
When Alistair looked at them chatting about, he looked at Annabelle and asked, "You two know each
other?"
Annabelle said, "When I came home last time, I stopped by the supermarket to buy something…"
"Allow me!" Brother Kaleb said.
When they heard that, the young couple looked towards brother Kaleb.
"It was like that, I was having an asthma attack and I almost fainted. Fortunately, Miss Xia saw me and
went to the pharmacy to get me some medicine. She saved my life!" Brother Kaleb summarized their
encounter but he didn't leave anything out.
When Alistair heard that, he smiled and understood what happened. He stretched out an arm to hug
Annabelle and looked at her lovingly.
"So that was it!"
"I have always wanted to thank Miss Xia but I just couldn't find her. What luck to be able to meet you
here!" Brother Kaleb said.
Annabelle smiled, "Please don't worry about that, anyone would have done that!"
"It might mean nothing to you but you saved my life. But since we meet here today, will you guys do me
the honor to treat the two of you for dinner? Just treat it as me repaying my thanks. Of course, I know I
wouldn't be able to repay your kindness with just a meal!" Brother Kaleb said.
The man was the president of Prosperity, yet he was so friendly and humble. They just couldn't refuse
him.
"There's no need…"
"This is Mr. Kaleb's good will. If you don't accept it, I'm afraid he would be bothered by it constantly!"
After saying that, Alistair looked at brother Kaleb and said, "If that's the case, we shall trouble you!"
"Great!"
As he said that, brother Kaleb tilted his head and looked at the man standing behind him. He spoke
sternly, "Book a place for tonight!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Annabelle and Alistair looked at each other and smiled.
During the dinner.
Only the three of them were seated in the huge room. And another man standing behind brother Kaleb.
It was his personal guard and he never go anywhere without bringing him.
"Hopefully the food here pleases you!" Brother Kaleb said smilingly.
Alistair simply chuckled, "This is already the best home cook restaurant in A city. If it doesn't please us,
then we are just being too difficult!" Alistair responded courteously.
Brother Kaleb smiled, "If that's the case, don't hold back!"
"We won't!"
"Miss Xia, what do you want to drink?"
"Water please!"
When brother Kaleb heard that, he nodded and looked at his personal guard, after that, someone came
in to pour water for Annabelle.
Annabelle smiled and nodded in thanks. Eating should be a carefree thing but now she even had
someone on standby to pour her water. She just wasn't used to it.
Brother Kaleb seemed to observed her uneasiness and he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I am simply not used to people standing around when I am eating!"
Brother Kaleb nodded and looked at the man behind, "Get out first."
The man behind was stunned, "But brother Hua said…"
"Get out!" Brother Kaleb said sternly. His aura was uncompromising.
The man was stunned but he walked out obediently.
Annabelle was stunned as well. She was just speaking unmindfully…
After the person left, brother Kaleb's attitude changed right away. He smiled as he said, "Actually, I
wasn't used to having people standing around when I am eating as well. It is simply because of the
people around me cared too much about me. They were worried that I might have an asthma attack
again and they got people to guard me twenty-four seven!" Brother Kaleb explained.
But they could tell that it was more than that!
When Alistair was eating, his lips curled up, "Mr. Kaleb, you must be careful!"
"I most definitely will!"
"It seems like your family cares deeply for you!"
The moment he mentioned about family, brother Kaleb sighed, "I don't have any family. But I do have a
brother that stayed by my side since forever. Things are great!"
Annabelle was stunned, "Sorry, I didn't know that!"
"Don't worry about it, I'm used to it!" Brother Kaleb was completely undisturbed. After that, he looked at
them and said, "By the way, I still haven't asked, the two of you…"This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
