My Killing President

Chapter 644 Reinforcements

Right after she said that, the room was pin drop silence.

No one expected a woman to be so assertive.

They looked at each other and didn't dare to speak. Director Lee was the one that felt the most heat.

He had tried so hard to finally grab his chance to be the president. But all of a sudden this Annabelle

had completely devastated his plans!

He looked at her and gripped his fist tightly, "Annabelle, do you really think you are the president of Yun

Rui now?"

Annabelle looked at him and sneered, "Do you think you are the one that make the calls? Director Lee,

if you have more shares than me, I will hand over the position right now!"

"You…!"

"But if you don't have, I think you should just respect the rules!" Annabelle exuded her charisma when

she enunciated her reply.

Director Lee had a sour expression, "I will never agree to this. If you are determined to do this, then I'm

afraid I might not be able to work in the near future!"

Annabelle looked at him in vex. She knew that he was trying to strong-arm her with a strike.

At that moment, the secretary opened the door. Everyone turned their head back and looked at the

door. The secretary said, "Miss Xia, the president of Rong Le Group wants to see you!"

At that time, Kaleb Hua walked inside and Hua followed after him.

Kaleb Hua simply swept his glanced through the crowd. The man carried an intense and pressuring

presence. Everyone in the board was intimidated by him.

"Mr. Kaleb?" Annabelle looked at him with a frown. She didn't know his intention of coming here during

such moment.

Kaleb Hua looked at them with his hands behind his back. He scanned around and smiled, "I'm here to

hasten the collaboration between Yun Rui and my company!"

Once he said that, director Lee's lips curled up in contempt. He looked at Annabelle and wanted to see

how she humiliates herself.

Annabelle didn't speak. She simply stared at Kaleb Hua and waited for him to finish.

"I am regretful to hear what happened to president Mu. However, the collaboration will not be

postponed. Therefore…" He turned his head over and looked at Annabelle, "I wanted Miss Xia to be

the one that oversees and handle this project. I also have one prerequisite, that she must be Yun Rui's

acting president!"

Right after he said that, director Lee's face turned completely black.

He wasn't here to create trouble but to help Annabelle!? Director Lee's eyebrows furrowed deeply and

his face twisted in rage.

"We have so many competent people in the company, why must it be her?" Director Lee asked in vex.

"When I was discussing this project with president Mu, Miss Xia was present. I believe no one else

could be better suited than her to take charge of this project!" Kaleb Hua answered nonchalantly. After

that, he added, "If you can't satisfy my condition, then I will end this contract. As for Yun Rui being

unable to deliver within the contractual time, it need to compensate a liquidated damage five times the

contractual sum!"

Once he said that, everyone was stunned.

The contractual sum was few tens of millions, and five times of it would be in the hundred millions. The

company wouldn't be able to suffer this kind of loss.

Now that Alistair wasn't around, their operation wasn't doing as good. Even the share prices were

dropping. If they were to have a hundred million debt, the company might be put at risk.

Therefore, director Lee had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

At that time, someone spoke up, "Director Lee, if that's the case, let's get Miss Xia to take charge!"

"I agree. Miss Xia was most familiar with the project. It is only appropriate to hand her the task!"

"Jack and the secretary will assist her. I don't think they will be any problem. Not only that, Miss Xia

came from an esteemed family. Although she was as a designer here, she had management

background!"

"I agree!"

The tide was turned and everyone was agreeable with Annabelle taking up the role of acting president.

Annabelle simply stood there quietly. She looked at the crowd and didn't say anything.

At that time, director Ji stood up and said, "I agree for Miss Xia to assume the role of acting president!"

After director Ji came forward, more members of the board spoke, "I agree!"

"I agree as well!"

It was obvious that the majority was supporting Annabelle.

When director Lee saw that the majority of the members supported Annabelle, he knew that he would

no longer have his supporters if he were to protest. Finally, he fumed, "Since the president of Rong Le

came personally, there is nothing more to say!"

After saying that, he glared at Annabelle, "Miss Xia, I hope you will be doing this project properly. Do

not disappoint us!" After saying that, he harrumphed and turned around to leave the room.

Annabelle stood there with a straight posture. She didn't say anything from the beginning till the end.

Finally, the meeting was over and the members left one by one.

In the coffee house downstairs.

Annabelle and Kaleb Hua sat together. Annabelle had a grim expression.

"Mr. Kaleb, thank you for coming today!" Annabelle thanked him.

Kaleb Hua looked at her and smiled, "That was nothing. Moreover, I trust you and Alistair. That doesn't

mean I can trust the rest of the people in Yun Rui!"

Annabelle forced a smile on her face.

Kaleb Hua looked at her and said, "Your face is pale, did you not rest well last night?"

Annabelle lowered her head and's stared at her cup of coffee. She answered absent-mindedly, "We still

don't have any news on the plane. How could I rest well?"

"Don't worry, we will get news soon!" Kaleb Hua comforted her.

Annabelle nodded.

"I have some connections in the airline company. They said they are doing everything they can to

search for it. There is a good chance that it is forced to land somewhere. Nevertheless, if I have any

news, I will make sure to notify you right away!" Kaleb Hua said.

When Annabelle heard that, she raised her gaze, "Really?"

"I don't know for sure. However, I will definitely tell you once I get my hands on any news!"

For the past two days, there was no news at all. According to what they say, the longer the time, the

smaller the hope. Now that Annabelle heard that, she didn't know what to feel. She only hoped that

Alistair could be a part of a miracle, a survivor…

Annabelle nodded, "Thank you, I shall trouble you with that!" Annabelle said in a serious demeanor.

Kaleb Hua nodded and Annabelle went back to being silent. Kaleb Hua didn't know how he should

comfort her. But when he saw how sad she was, he felt a frustration because there was nothing he

could do aside from staring…

In afternoon, Annabelle went to the hospital to visit the grandmother. When she saw that her emotion

was stable, she went home.

In the night, Dorie went over.

After learning about Alistair's incident, she asked Su to send her over.

Right after she entered the door, she saw that Annabelle's eyes were red. She knew that she must be

crying.

"Annabelle…"

"What are you doing here?" Annabelle asked weakly.

Dorie walked inside and shut the door. Annabelle walked back towards her couch and sat on it.

Dorie walked over and looked at her, "I just heard what happened and so I came to check on you…

Annabelle…" As she looked at Annabelle, she was at loss of words to comfort her.

"I'm fine!" Annabelle forced a smile. But her eyes turned red.

Does that look like fine?

"I can tell if you are fine or not. Annabelle, you don't have to act all tough in front of me…" After saying

that, she wrapped her arms around Annabelle.

At that moment, Annabelle couldn't hold back her tears anymore and she sobbed loudly.

She hugged Dorie tightly and broke into tears, "Dorie, what if he is gone? I don't dare to imagine… I

don't dare to even think what I should do if the world doesn't have a man called Alistair anymore…" Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I don't dare to think… What my life would be without him!" Annabelle wailed.

Dorie comforted her, "It won't… He will be just fine! I believe he wouldn't leave you alone as well. Don't

forget, Alistair was like a resilient cockroach! He will definitely survive this!" Dorie tried her best to

comfort her.

Annabelle hugged Dorie tightly and vented all her fear and nervousness.

Finally, after a long while, she relieved herself a good part of her worries and grief.

Sometime later, Annabelle slowly stopped crying.

She looked at Dorie and said, "Thank you for accompanying me!"

"I blame myself for coming so late!"

"I'm fine, don't worry!"

"Can I stay here to accompany you tonight?" Dorie asked.

Annabelle shook her head, "There's no need, I will be just fine alone!"

"But I am worried about you!"

"There is nothing to worry about. Before getting news about him, I wouldn't let myself get into any

trouble!"

"But…"

"Dorie, I need some time alone!"

When Dorie heard that, there was just nothing she could say. She nodded, "All right then, but please

call me if anything happens!"

Annabelle nodded.

After tidying up Annabelle's place, Dorie left.

Although she was still worried, she believed that Annabelle would be fine for the time being.

When she got downstairs and wanted to make a call, she saw the car parking right at the entrance.

She was stunned and walked forward. At that time, Su opened the car door and walked out.

"Log, why are you still here?" Dorie frowned as she looked at him. It had been more than two hours

when she reached here.

"Waiting for you."

"You know that I am going back?"

"At this time, she needed to vent and some time to herself." Su said.

Dorie nodded, "You knew it quite well!"

Su raised his head and looked upstairs, "How is she?"

"How else? Just like that. But before getting a confirmation about Alistair's news, I believe she will be

okay!"
