“Hello.”
“Are you home yet?” It was none other than Alistair.
“Yeah, I just got inside.” Annabelle answered lazily.
“Where is Song Jing, is he back?” Alistair asked.
“Yes, he is.”
After hearing that, Alistair was restful.
“Okay, if there’s nothing, you should rest earlier!”
“Okay.” Annabelle continued to answer him lazily.
After saying that, she hung up the call.
Annabelle stared at her phone and felt puzzled.
She didn’t think much. And after all this while, she had gotten used to his random calls.
After getting back, Annabelle removed her makeup, went for shower and lied on her bed. She had a good sleep right till the morning.
The next day.
After Annabelle woke up, she felt comfortable and she had pretty much forgotten the horror of the incident.
She got up and entered her daily routine. She made breakfast and went to work.
Annabelle hadn’t been going to the company for a few days. Right after she reached the office, the colleagues greeted her happily.
Covi looked at her and asked, “Annabelle, where have you been?”
When being asked about that, Annabelle was stunned and she chuckled, “I had something personal and I applied for a two-day leave!”
“You are so lucky!” Covi couldn’t help but exclaimed.
“Lucky?!” Annabelle looked at Covi in puzzle, “What do you mean, woman?”
“You simply didn’t know that for the past few days when you were absent, it was as if president Mu ate fire powder and he was firing at everyone he saw!” Covi exaggerated.
The moment Annabelle heard her, she was stunned and she stared at her, “You are just exaggerating!”
She didn’t even wait for Annabelle to reply and she went back to her own desk.
Annabelle was surprised. Was that man so scary?
She raised her eyes and saw Alistair walking towards her. Or in another word, that was the corridor that he had to pass.
Annabelle lowered her eyes and wanted to work.
Surprisingly, Alistair walked right towards her and stopped. The man looked at her, “How are you? Are you all right?”
When Annabelle heard a voice from above, she raised her head. The moment she saw Alistair asking her, she felt the gazes from all around.
Annabelle was stunned and she stood up immediately and said smilingly, “Thank you for your care, president Mu. I am completely fine!”
Annabelle’s attitude was respectful and distancing.
Alistair was aware of her intention and he gave her an eye roll. After that, the man said, “Good, keep up the good work!”
“I will!”
After saying that, Alistair glared at her and turned around to go back in his office.lightnoveldaily.com.
