Chapter 676 Boyfriend
When Dorie's thoughts were running wild, Su looked at her and said, "But I had a condition!"
Dorie blinked her eyes, "What condition?"
"That you must be my assistant!"
"Me?" Dorie pointed at herself in disbelief.
Su nodded, "Yeah!"
Dorie almost leaped in joy. However, she continued to pretend to be calm, "Why me?"
"Because I can only be restful with you by my side!" Su said gently.
Dorie's heart beat rapidly again. She felt her inner self was screaming and there was a sweet
warmness that flowed within her.
"How was it? Do you want to come with me?" Su asked.
"But, there is my shop to get busy with…" Dorie said.
"Your shop is doing good. Just hire a few more people and they will be able to manage it!" Su said.
"But…"
"Okay, let's eat first. If you don't want it, then I will reject him!" Su said as he led her to the dining table.
"I, I'll go wash my face first!" Dorie said as she walked to the bathroom.
Su looked at her and smiled. The man continued to take out the food from the packages.
After Dorie came out, they could eat right away.
"Let's eat!" Su said.
Dorie nodded and sat opposite him.
The two of them started eating. While Dorie was eating, she kept staring at Su. She wanted to say
something but she just didn't know how.
"What is it? What do you want to say?" Su asked.
Dorie looked at him and spoke, "I thought you wouldn't come back anymore!"
When Su heard that, his gesture of eating stopped and he raised his gaze to look at Dorie, "So you
have been sleeping in the living room last night because you were waiting for me!?"
Dorie, "……"
She didn't say that…
She blinked her eyes and lowered her head to eat, "Not at all. I was simply too tired and I fell asleep
while lying on the couch!"
"Really?"
"Yeah!" Dorie said. The woman wouldn't admit that she fell asleep while waiting for him there.
Su didn't ask further but simply smiled at her, "Let's eat!"
Dorie continued to eat. But her lips just kept curling up uncontrollably…
After the breakfast, the two persons went to the shop.
On the way there, Dorie was all cheery. The moment they reached the shop, An-an and the other
waiter approached them.
"Brother Su, who was that man that came to look for you yesterday? What was his business with you?"
"Yeah, he looked very rich!"
Su simply smiled and started to work, the man paid no attention to them.
"Brother Su, do you know that after you left yesterday, sister Dorie was acting weird. She didn't say a
word and she looked very dejected!"
The moment Su heard Dorie's name, he showed some reactions and turned his head back to look at
An-an.
Anan simply smiled and walked away.
Su stood there and looked at the busy figure of Dorie. His lips curled up.
It was a very busy day.
In the noon, right after Su took a break from work, his phone rang.
The moment Su saw the number, his expression changed. Although it was subtle, Dorie noticed it.
Su took the phone and walked away.
"Hello…"
"Sorry, I…"
"He accepts your offer!" As Su was speaking halfway, his phone was snatched away.
He looked at the woman in front of him while she was speaking smilingly over the phone. After that,
she hung up.
"You…"
"I'll do that with you!" Dorie said.
Su was stunned and he hadn't expected Dorie to accept the deal.
At that time, Dorie spoke, "It is much better to be an assistant to a celebrity than a shopkeeper. More
importantly, if you managed to be a hot celebrity, my shop will just get better business! I can expand
and even start franchising!" Dorie chuckled.
When Su heard her thoughts, he smiled and walked closer to her, "Are you really okay with that?"
Dorie nodded, "Yeah, you are right. I can just hire more people to look after the shop. Moreover, I can
just come back to supervise it from time to time. I think there is no problem!"
"Have you decided?"
Dorie nodded and a smile blossomed on her face.
Su looked at her and his lips curled up, "Dorie, thank you…"
……
Now that the wedding ceremony was just about a month away, there were a lot of things to be
prepared.
Although Annabelle didn't need to arrange anything, she needed some preparation being the bride.
Such as shopping and arranging the invitation card.
Annabelle felt a need to do a quality control. But she made sure to do it leisurely. After finishing her
shopping, she went to Alistair's office.
Alistair was busy with work while Annabelle simply sat on the couch. She was eating fruits while
browsing her laptop, checking on the news. It seemed that the couple's updates were well managed by
the media.
When Annabelle was impressed by the reporter's hard work and professionalism, Alistair's phone rang.
Alistair raised her gaze and saw that Alistair took up his phone and answered it, "Hello…"
The moment he heard the other party, his expression changed.
Although he didn't say anything, Annabelle could tell.
"How did that happen?"
"Okay, I understand!"
After hanging up the phone, Alistair dialed the office number.
"Jack, come in!"
After hanging up the phone, Annabelle looked at Alistair and asked, "What happened?"
Alistair's eyebrows were knitted tightly, "Nancy got discharged from the hospital but her whereabouts
were unknown…"
When Annabelle heard that, she was stunned.
"Was she fit to be discharged?"
Alistair shook his head, "I don't know either. I had been busy for the past few days and I didn't go and
visit her!"
When they were talking, the door was pushed opened and Jack walked inside, "Sir, did you look for
me?"
"Nancy is missing, hurry and arrange a search party to find her. No matter what, you must make sure to
find her!" Alistair said.
Jack was stunned and he nodded, "Okay, got it!"
After answering Alistair, Jack rushed out immediately.
After what happened, Alistair couldn't concentrate in work anymore. He stood up from his chair and
paced towards the French window. The man was very worried.
Annabelle lowered her laptop on the table and walked towards Alistair, "Don't worry, if Nancy could
discharge herself from the hospital, that means her condition is better. Why not we go and look for her
as well?" Annabelle said.
When Alistair heard Annabelle, he looked at her and said, "I think I should send you back first and go
look for her myself!"
"How can I be restful staying alone at home? Just let me follow you!" Annabelle said.
Alistair did not press on and he left the company with Annabelle.
The two of them drove around and looked around the streets.
At that time, Alistair picked up his phone and called home. Annabelle looked at him and asked, "Who
are you calling?"
"Home. I want to see if Nancy went home!"
"Let me do that!" Annabelle said.
Alistair didn't think much and simply passed his phone to Annabelle.
The phone was connected after a short while. It was the mother that picked up.
"Hello, it's me!"
"Annabelle?"
"Yeah!"
"Yes? Why are you calling?"
"Ah, it's nothing. I simply want to ask if you have gone to visit Nancy in the hospital today?"
"Nancy? I haven't been going for the past few days. Why?"
When Annabelle heard that, she turned her head over to look at Alistair. That proved that Nancy didn't
go home.
"Annabelle, did anything happen?" Madam Mu asked over the call.
"Oh, it's nothing. I was thinking to make Nancy some soup or something and I want to ask if you have
been there!"
"I have been busy preparing for your wedding for the past few days. I will go later!"
"If that's the case, you don't have to trouble yourself. I will just accompany her there later!" Annabelle
said.
Madam Mu hesitated for a while and nodded, "All right then. Now that you are pregnant, you should
make sure to get more rest as well. Don't tire yourself out!"
"Okay, I understand, don't worry!"
After the simple conversation, they hung up.
Annabelle looked at Alistair as the man had heard their conversation. Nancy did not go back.
Alistair had a grim expression.
Annabelle looked at Alistair and she didn't know how to comfort him.
"By the way, aside from you, does she know anyone here?" Annabelle asked.
When Alistair heard that, he came to a sudden realization, "Yes, let's give Jerry a call!"
Nancy knew all his four friends. But aside from Alistair, she was closest to Jerry.
Annabelle nodded right away and took out her phone to call Jerry Kuang. After the phone went
through, she passed the phone to Alistair.
The call was connected right away, "Hello…"
"Jerry, it's me. Did Nancy go to look for you?" Alistair didn't beat around the bush and asked right away.
"Isn't she in the hospital?"
"She discharged herself from the hospital and she is now missing!" Alistair said worriedly.
"Did the two of you quarrel again?"
"No!" Alistair denied.
"Then why would that happen?"
"I don't know either. Help me to look for her. If she happens to contact you, let me know right away!"
Jerry Kuang nodded, "Got it!"
After that, they hung up.
Annabelle looked at him, "Jerry didn't know?"
Alistair nodded.
"Where could she go?" Annabelle was worried as well. Although Nancy was already an adult, she
could be childish at times.
Moreover, Annabelle could tell that Nancy likes Alistair. Now that she gave it a thought, she must be
doing that after learning of her wedding with Alistair…
Annabelle side and didn't know what to say.
When it was night, they still didn't have any news of Nancy.
They parked their car by the roadside and Alistair had a grim expression. He was silent and didn't say
anything.
If anything were to happen to Nancy, he would be guilt ridden for the rest of his life…
"Alistair, I know that you are worried about her. Although Nancy is a little childish, I believe she is
sensible enough in carrying herself…" Annabelle said.
There was nothing Alistair could say and he nodded.
At that time, Alistair's phone rang. He picked up his phone and answered it right away.
"Hello…"
"Alistair, I just called Nancy, she said she is in MISS bar!" Jerry Kuang said.
When Alistair heard that, he straightened his back, "Okay, got it. I will go over right now!" After saying
that, he hung up right away and started his car.
Annabelle looked at him and asked, "You got news on Nancy?"
"Yeah!" Alistair nodded as he accelerated towards MISS bar.
When they reached the entrance, Alistair and Annabelle got down the car. They looked at the bar door
and walked inside.
There was a crowd inside and the music was deafening.
The night lives started when the sky turns dark.
Alistair held Annabelle's hand and they walked inside together. There were a lot of youngsters inside
and most of the women came in heavy make-ups. It is just difficult to look for a person amongst them.
Annabelle and Alistair was searching around inside. All of a sudden, Annabelle noticed something and
she nudged Alistair, "Nancy!"
Alistair turned his head back and saw the woman.
Nancy was sitting on the couch and there was a man sitting next to her. The two of them seemed to be
having a good time chatting and laughing happily.
Alistair frowned and walked towards them.
"Nancy!"
Nancy was talking to the guy when she heard someone calling for her. She raised her head and saw
Alistair.
Her cheeks were flushed and it was obvious that she had been drinking.
"Alistair, what are you doing here? Sister Annabelle, even you came!" She asked in surprise.
Alistair frowned, "Nancy, do you know what are you doing?"
The man asked sternly.
Nancy smiled, "Of course! By the way, let me introduce, this is my boyfriend, Antonio Lu!" As she said
that, Nancy wrapped her arms around the man's arm. Her gesture was intimate and she even rested
her chin on his shoulder.
"Darling, let me introduce you. These are my friends, Alistair and Annabelle. They are my best friends!"
Antonio Lu knew Alistair. Probably every youngster in A city knew him.
"President Mu!" At that time, Antonio Lu stretched out his hand for a handshake with Alistair. Alistair
simply glanced at him and showed no interest to entertain him.
As of the moment, Alistair didn't know what the man was trying to do.
"Alistair, you are just rude!" After Nancy said that, she leaned completely on Antonio Lu. She seemed
tipsy already.
"Follow me home!" Alistair said no more and walked forward to drag Nancy.
"No, I still want to drink!"
"You have already drank too much!"
"I am fine, I don't want to leave. Xiao-an will send me home later!" Nancy said and she refused to follow
him.
Alistair didn't say anything and simply dragged Nancy outside.
As Antonio Lu saw that, he followed along as well.
Once they got outside, Nancy flung his hand away, "What are you doing? You are hurting me!"
"Do you even know what are you doing?" When Alistair looked at her, he was just simmering in anger.
Alistair would rarely get angry. Now that Nancy saw him boiling in anger, she was a little fearful. She
didn't know what to say and simply held her wrist.
At that time, Annabelle looked at her and said, "Nancy, you sneaked out from the hospital without
telling anyone and we were so worried!"
"I am already fine!" Nancy answered rudely.
"You are in no place to say that. Nancy, I shall give you two options right now: number one, follow me
home. Number two, I will call your daddy tomorrow and get him to pick you back!" Alistair said.
It seemed that the man was dead serious.
The woman quieted down and conceded.
"Nancy…" Antonio Lu called out to her.
Nancy looked at him and smiled, "Darling, let me call you tomorrow!"
After saying that, she got into Alistair's car and followed him back.
Alistair drove while Nancy's at in the back seat. The woman kept talking to Annabelle, "Sister
Annabelle, that Xiao-an was so good to me!"
"He is such a gentleman and kind person…"
She was complimenting and blabbering all about how great Antonio Lu was.
Annabelle knew what she was trying to do. She glanced over at Alistair and saw that he had a thunder
brewing on his face. The man continued to drive quietly. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"Sister Annabelle, will you give me your blessings?" At that time, Nancy looked at her and asked
suddenly.
"If that is real, I most certainly will!"
Nancy looked at her and she was stunned. After that she broke into a chuckle, "Of course that's real!"
After saying that, she reclined to her seat and continued to talk about that Antonio Lu of hers.
Annabelle did not pay too much attention because she knew that Nancy was doing that on purpose.
They reached the Mu House soon after.
Right after getting down the car, Nancy almost toppled over.
It was fortunate that Alistair caught her in time.
Nancy raised her gaze and smiled at Alistair, "Can you not show such a serious face? It is very
intimidating!"
"Sister Annabelle, help me a little. He is just so fierce!" Nancy called out to her.
Alistair looked at Nancy and didn't know what to say.
At that time, Annabelle looked at Nancy helplessly and looked back at Alistair, "I shall go in first."
She knew that they needed some privacy to talk.
Once Annabelle walked inside, Nancy looked at Alistair and said, "Sister Annabelle is angry, hurry and
go after her!"
"Nancy, do you know what are you talking and doing right now!?" Alistair suppressed his anger and
enunciated his question.
Nancy blinked her eyes and her cheeks were flushed, "Of course! I feel truly happy today and I found a
boyfriend. Shouldn't you be happy for me?"
"Oh right, you and sister Annabelle are getting married and I still haven't congratulated the two of you.
Let's go back and drink more, congratulations!" Nancy said as she wanted to get back in the car.
"Nancy!" Alistair dragged her back. He looked at her and almost erupted. However, he managed to
hold himself back in the end.
"When can you stop acting so childish?"
"How am I being childish?" When Nancy heard that, she was upset. She turned her head back and
looked at Alistair, "Do you see me that way?"
"Hoho, that's right I am… But so what? You don't like me and there are people that likes me!" Nancy
said.
"Are you referring to that man?"
"Exactly!" Nancy nodded, "That guy, he is my boyfriend now!"
"If you are sober, I might believe what you are telling me!"
Nancy raised her head and tried her best to hold back her tears, "I am completely sober and in my right
mind now!"
"I do not want to say so much to you. Hurry and go back to your room, take a shower and go sleep!"
Alistair fumed.
"I don't think I need to take your orders for even sleeping and showering!"
Alistair stared at Nancy and his eyebrows gathered tightly. His expression was a chilling cold and it
turned darker and darker, signifying a storm was coming.
"I will call your daddy tomorrow and get him to pick you up personally!" After saying that, Alistair
ignored her and walked inside the house.
Nancy stood outside and watched as Alistair walked away. Her tears broke out uncontrollably.
She tried her best to suppress it and hold it in while wiping the tears from her face.
Annabelle was talking to the grandmother inside. When she saw Alistair walking in, she asked, "Where
is Nancy?"
"Outside!" Alistair tried his best to suppress his anger and replied.
When Annabelle looked outside the door and saw a person lying on the floor, she screamed in shock,
"Nancy!"
Alistair realized that something was wrong right away. The moment he turned his head back, he saw
Nancy lying on the floor…
In the hospital.
As Annabelle looked at Nancy lying on the bed, her eyebrows were lowered faintly.
Alistair's face was tensed but he didn't say anything.
"The patient is fine now but it might wait until tomorrow before she wakes up. You guys can go back
and rest first and come over earlier tomorrow morning!" The nurse looked at them and said.
When Alistair and Annabelle heard that, they walked out from the ward.
Annabelle took out her phone and called the grandmother. She reported Nancy's condition to make her
restful.
As the grandmother saw what happened earlier, she was in shock.
At that time, Alistair raised his gaze and looked at Annabelle, "Let's head back first!"
Annabelle nodded and didn't refuse. And so, the couple left the hospital.
On their way back, Alistair didn't say anything at all. Annabelle knew that he was worried about Nancy
and she said, "If you are worried about Nancy, you can just stay over in the hospital to accompany her.
I can go back by myself!"
When Alistair heard that, he turned his head over to look at Annabelle and held her hand, "How can I
leave you at home alone? It will be fine, I will just go visit her tomorrow morning!"
