My Killing President

Chapter 665 Secretary

Annabelle smiled as she looked at Alistair, "President Mu, aren't you just blatantly abusing your

authority?"

Alistair raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, "There's no other choice. I just have to do that for my wife!"

Annabelle gave him an eye roll. After that, she chuckled, "All right then, I shall trouble myself to keep

you company for the day!"

"I'm sorry for troubling you!"

"Glad that you know!"

......

And so, after preparing themselves, they went to the company.

After reaching the company, it was already past nine o'clock.

Alistair walked in front and Annabelle followed closely behind him. The woman seemed different as she

wasn't wearing any make-up, high heels or even office attire. However, she exuded the same elegance

and charm.

The couple had not been appearing in public for quite some time. Previously, Annabelle asked for a

sudden leave and the company was gossiping about it, thinking that they were marrying soon. But then

all of a sudden Alistair got close to another woman…

In another word, even when Annabelle wasn't in the company, she was still the topic of their gossip!

The moment they saw them appearing together, all the rumors were frustrated.

When Annabelle was wearing so casually and walking side-by-side Alistair, it gave off an impression

that Alistair was pampering and cosseting her.

The couple walked upstairs together.

After walking into his office, Annabelle was stunned. She looked in the spacious office and noticed

some changes. Aside from Alistair's office desk, there was a black leather couch. The man had been

thoughtful.

"Why are you putting that over there?"

Annabelle asked as she walked over. There were a few pillows on it and blanket as well. It seemed that

the man had prepared a nest for her.

Alistair simply glanced at her, "How was it? Do you like it?"

"Is this really… Fine?"

Annabelle asked. After all, this is his workplace.

"What's the matter? Do you think others don't know you or you don't know them?"

"… All right then!" Annabelle nodded.

Alistair led her inside, "Your first mission today is to rest here. You can read some books when you are

free and I have prepared a laptop for you. You can surf the Internet from time to time. However, be

mindful of the radiation and you shouldn't use electronic devices for too long!"

Annabelle listened to him and looked at him. After that, she nodded solemnly, "Okay, I shall accept this

difficult mission!"

After saying that, she sat down and started feeling around the couch.

When Alistair saw Annabelle's defenseless look, he felt a sudden impulse and he climbed over as well.

The man hugged her tightly with his arms, "Since this job is so difficult, it seems that I should give you

some compensation!"

*Knock Knock*

Right when he did that, the office door was knocked. Jack walked inside right after knocking and said,

"Sir, the meeting at ten o'clock is ready…"

When he saw that there wasn't anyone sitting in front of the office desk, he looked around. When he

saw the couple, Jack's eyes widened and he froze.

What the heck!!

It was better for him to have a stroke and pass out now!

Why must he be the one to interrupt his boss over and over again!

When Alistair heard Jack's voice, he turned his head back as well and Jack could see a thunderstorm

brewing on his face.

Jack didn't know what to do and he was afraid that he might even lose his job. He held the deck of

documents and his expression was remorseful. He dashed to the office desk, "This… The documents

for the meeting later. I shall leave it here!"

"Please… continue!"

After saying that, Jack ran out.

He stood outside the door and gasped for air. What a close call!

The man was remorseful that he still couldn't change his habit of barging into the office right after he

knocks!!!

Alistair had a sour expression as he turned his head back. Annabelle was laughing heartily.

"Let's continue…"

However, Annabelle pushed him away, "President Mu, do not take advantage of your office workers!"

Alistair was dispirited, "All right then… I shall go to work now. Let's continue after working hours…"

Annabelle chuckled and Alistair walked towards his office desk.

He said down and started flipping around his documents.

Annabelle sat there and watched as Alistair walked. The man's seriousness while he worked was

absolutely charming.

It was a fact that a man is most handsome when he is working seriously. If that is the case, Alistair

must be the most charming and good looking one amongst them. Just his side view looked like a piece

of art. Annabelle couldn't help but exclaimed to herself, if their child was really a son, she hoped that he

wouldn't grow up with his father's look…

However, there was no way to know that until ten months later.

After a long while, Annabelle averted her gaze and looked at the book on the coffee table. She

pondered for a while and took it over.

The person that chases the kite.

The woman had heard plenty of good reviews and people recommending the book. It had a great

review but she had never seen it. Now she finally got her chance.

She flipped the book opened and started reading. She got herself into a comfortable position and

leaned on a side. From her direction, she could read and raise her head from time to time to check on

Alistair. Annabelle enjoyed the peaceful and quiet moment like this.

When it was ten o'clock, Alistair needed to go to his meeting. He walked over and looked at Annabelle,

"How was it? Are you bored?"

Annabelle shook her head, "This is a great book. Good taste!"

"I knew that you would like it!"

Alistair was confident. He knew that Annabelle liked that kind of motivational and meaningful books.

This happened to be a good one in its genre.

Annabelle simply smiled, "Thank you for being so thoughtful!"

"I shall go to the meeting first, wait for me here!"

Annabelle nodded.

However, the man didn't leave right away. He simply stood there and stared intently at Annabelle.

When Annabelle saw that he wasn't moving, she asked, "Why aren't you going?"

"Did you forget anything?" Alistair asked.

Annabelle caught on right away. She giggled and moved closer to kiss his cheek.

However, that was nowhere enough for Alistair. The man grabbed the back of her head and kissed her

passionately…

A few minutes later, Alistair released her slowly. However, now he dreaded to leave her even more. He

rested his forehead on hers and said, "Wait for me!"

Annabelle nodded. After that, Alistair stood up and walked away.

Jack was waiting for him outside. When Alistair came out, he glared at the assistant. Jack simply

pretended he saw nothing and lowered his head.

Boss was definitely bearing grudge! Sigh, why was he so unfortunate to hit the ‘jackpot' every time!?

The assistant regretted that he didn't wait for a reply before entering the door!

"Sir, everyone else is waiting for you!"

"Okay." Alistair harrumphed and walked towards the meeting room. Jack followed closely behind.

"Jack!"

Jack felt that his heart almost jumped out. Oh my gosh, it is so scary to hear the boss calling him at this

moment!

He was so worried that Alistair would fire him on a whim…

"Yes, sir?" Jack walked over smiling fawningly.

"Buy some tidbits, jelly, yoghurt and of the sort and bring them to my office!"

"Huh?!"

"And another serving of pasta!"

Jack's face twitched a little. He was sure that he didn't hear the boss wrongly.

"Sir, did you skip breakfast this morning?" Jack asked diffidently.

Right after he asked that, Alistair stopped his steps and glared at him, "Send it to my office!"

Jack almost jumped up in fright when he received the glare. When he came back to his senses, he

hurriedly replied, "Okay okay, I understand. Right away!"

So it was for Annabelle. Jack felt that he must have left his brain at home that day.

After seeing Alistair entering the meeting room, Jack walked away and gave the instructions for the

food.

Sigh, probably today just wasn't his day.

Annabelle was reading in the office. At that time, someone knocked on the door and as she looked up,

the door was pushed open.

At that time, the secretary walked inside.

Annabelle looked at them and everyone was holding all kinds of food.

"Miss Xia, these are for your leisure and entertainment!"

After saying that, the workers moved a pile of food on the desk and they were all her favorite.

Of course, there was a package of pasta as well.

"This…"

"Miss Xia, please enjoy yourself!"

The secretary said that and excused herself.

Annabelle looked at the food and she knew that it was arranged by Alistair. At that moment, she was

completely moved.

The woman hadn't filled her stomach this morning and she was feeling hungry already. When she saw

the steaming pasta, her appetite was roused. Annabelle did not hold back and started eating.

The taste was simply great.

She ate slowly as she knew that Alistair must be hungry as well. The woman wanted to eat together

with Alistair. However, she hadn't expected the meeting to last for almost one hour. It ended around 11

o'clock.

When Alistair came back, Annabelle was lying down and fast asleep.

When the man saw that there was still a big portion of the pasta left, he frowned. He walked softly

towards her and wanted to cover her with blanket. However, right after he did that, Annabelle moved a

little and she woke up.

When she saw Alistair, she asked, "The meeting finished?"

Alistair nodded, "Did I wake you up?"

Annabelle stretched a little and said, "No. Pregnant ladies are sleepy all the time. I feel much better

after a short nap!"

"Why didn't you finish the food? Is it not to your liking?" Alistair asked.

When Annabelle heard that, she turned her head back and looked at the pasta on the desk. She took

another bite and frowned, "It turned cold ready!"

"If you want to eat it, I will order another portion for you!"

Annabelle shook her head, "Not that. I wanted to save it for you. You didn't eat much in the morning!"

When Alistair heard that, he was stunned. Annabelle was always an efficient and pragmatic person.

She would rarely do something counter-productive to care for others. Now that she did that, the man

just couldn't describe his feelings.

"Were you waiting for me?"

Annabelle nodded, "But now that it is cold, it wouldn't taste nice!" Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"It is lunch break soon. Let's go eat together!"

Annabelle nodded.

Alistair smiled. When he looked at the leftover pasta on the desk, he moved closer and took a mouthful.

After that, he nodded appreciatively, "It tastes great!"

Annabelle looked at him and broke into a chuckle. The woman felt a warmth in her heart and she was

greatly moved.

When Annabelle came to the company, she had been staying in the office all the time. She didn't go out

at all and there was another hour to lunch break. Annabelle looked at Alistair and said, "I want to take a

stroll!"

Alistair nodded in agreement, "I'll accompany you!"

"There's no need, I want to go to the design department!"

Alistair understood what she wanted and he nodded, "Okay. I will go look for you after work is done!"

Annabelle nodded and stood up to walk out the office.

Annabelle went to the pantry and made herself a cup of coffee. After that, she walked towards the

design department.

When her colleagues saw her, they came to greet her cordially. Annabelle simply smiled and greeted

them back. After that, she walked towards Covi and put the cup of coffee in front of her, "My dear Miss

Covi. Look at how hardworking you are! This is your prize!"

When Covi looked at the cup of coffee, she raised her head. The moment she saw Annabelle, she was

exhilarated, "Annabelle, you finally came!"

"Yeah, did you miss me!?"

"But you didn't miss me at all!" Covi complained. She heard that Annabelle had come to the company

early in the morning. However, she hadn't been seeing her until then.

Annabelle looked at her and said, "If I didn't miss you, then what am I doing here delivering coffee for

you? This is Alistair's exclusive coffee and I stole it for you!"

Covi smiled after hearing that, "Why didn't I hear any news about you? I can't even get through your

phone!" Covi said.

That was a long story.

"Let's find a place to talk?"

"Sure, but…" Right after answering that, Covi was hesitant. She glanced over at the design director's

office.

Annabelle made a shush gesture and the two of them sneaked away.

"If they deduct my salary, you must make sure to talk to president Mu. I am being forced by

circumstances!" Covi said smilingly.

"Don't worry. You have such good working record. I think they should give you a raise!" Annabelle said.

"I know, right? So you agree as well!"

Annabelle nodded.

"Then you must make sure to speak in favor for me. I don't mind that!"

The two of them exchanged a look and broke into a laughter.

Annabelle and Covi stayed in the balcony.

"Where have you been for the past weeks? I couldn't get through your phone and I couldn't find you

either. Why did you take such a long leave so suddenly?" Covi asked.

Annabelle smiled, "I haven't been using my phone for the past few days!"

"I bet you don't know about this. The moment you applied for leave, there were all kinds of rumors

spreading in the company about you. Some said that you broke up with president Mu and you needed

to leave the company. Others said that you are getting married to president Mu and you stopped

working, since you are already the president's wife! There were all kinds of other rumors as well.

Luckily you're back now, otherwise it would just get worse and worse!" Covi said.

Annabelle smiled, "It seems like the place was just as lively when I wasn't around!"

"Exactly!"

As they were talking, Covi looked at Annabelle and she felt something was off. However, she just

couldn't tell what's wrong.

"Annabelle, I feel that you look different!"

"Which part?"

Covi examined her and said, "You are dressing up differently. Look at you, wearing so casually and you

didn't even put on any make up!"

Right after Covi said that, she was shocked, "Don't tell me you are pregnant!"

Annabelle was surprised that Covi made such an accurate guess.

"You could tell?" Annabelle asked.

When Covi heard that, she knew she got it right, "Are you really pregnant?"

She was surprised. She was simply saying that whimsically and she hadn't expected it to be true.

Annabelle did not deny and nodded.

Covi was completely shocked. Her jaw dropped and she didn't know what to say, "I felt that when I first

saw you just now. How was it, how many months already?"

"Not even a month!"

"The first three months are most important. You must be sure to take care of yourself properly!"

"I'm surprised that you know it so well!"

"That's of course, when my cousin was pregnant, I witnessed everything. It was truly difficult to be

pregnant!"

"I am not feeling anything now. Just feeling sleepy all the time!"

"This is just the start. You will know it soon enough!"

"My dear Covi, do you know who you resemble?"

"What?"

"A meddling mother-in-law!"

"I am caring for you. How dare you tease me!?"

Covi pouted her lips. After that, she recalled something all of a sudden, "When do you plan to get

married with president Mu? Are you waiting for your stomach to get bigger?" Covi asked.

Annabelle didn't know how to answer to that question.

That had been bothering her greatly. She didn't know what to do as well. The couple had decided to get

married long ago. However, she just couldn't rest her heart now.

She was afraid that her relationship and feelings towards Alistair would change. She was fearful…

Fearful of a lot of things.

She simply didn't want to speak it out and show it.

When Covi saw that she kept quiet, she looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? Did anything

happen?"

Annabelle came back to her senses and she shook her head, "It's nothing. We are arranging it now. As

for the rest, let's just surrender it to fate!"

Covi felt that something was wrong. She squinted her eyes and said, "Annabelle, I think you have

pregnancy anxiety disorder!"

"Is there really something like that?"

"Of course. Pregnant women would become more sensitive and they would easily overthink. Those are

the signs and symptoms of anxiety disorder. Actually, you don't have to think so much. A person's life

isn't long nor short. The simplest joy in life would be able to do what one wanted to do. Nobody knows

what the future entails. Therefore, we simply need to appreciate what we have right this moment and it

would suffice!"

"Honestly speaking, I am envious of you. That you could find a person like president Mu that loves you

so much. Not only that, you share the mutual feeling. To be able to meet the right person in the right

time and age, it is truly a blessing. I don't have to tell you that not everyone could have your luck!"

Annabelle stood there and listened to Covi. She was right and Annabelle could identify with her as well.

Now that she heard it from someone else, she gained more confidence.

"Therefore, be sure to hold on to your opportunity tightly!"

Annabelle looked at her, "Covi, you are really so sensible!"

"I am serious!" Covi corrected her.

Annabelle corrected her, "Don't worry, I understand and I know what to do!"

It was frightening to know what you want and vice versa. It was the clear consciousness that made

Annabelle intolerable in her relationship. She wouldn't be able to put up with an imperfect love. Even

when Alistair didn't cheat on her, she still felt a gloominess within. It shrouded her longing towards

marriage.

If it wasn't perfect like what she longed for, she would rather keep herself away from it.

However, it was due to this rationality of hers that motivated her to seek more and strive in life.

The woman was clear yet ambiguous towards her future.

Covi nodded, "I can tell that president Mu loves you very much!"

When Annabelle heard Covi saying that, she turned her head over and squinted her eyes. Examining

her expression.

Covi moved back a little and looked at her, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Be honest, are you in a relationship now?"

When Covi heard that, she blushed, "Not at all!"

The woman averted her eyes away.

"If you aren't, how can you give me so many perspectives on love? You have been so emotional as

well. Spill it, who was it? Jack? Conor?!"

Annabelle knew that both men had showed interest towards Covi but she hadn't been reciprocating

their feelings.

"What nonsense are you talking about, I was simply saying that whimsically!" Covi said.

"Really?" Annabelle looked at her and asked. Even if she wasn't a busybody, she felt a necessity to ask

for more.

"Whims normally comes from experience. Are you sure you don't have any?"

"They are simply my colleagues and nothing more. You don't have to be such a busybody!" Covi said.

Annabelle nodded, "All right then, it's fine that you want to hide. Unless you plan of not getting married

for the rest of your life, I will definitely know it sooner or later!"

Covi chuckled, "Don't worry. If I get myself a boyfriend some day, you will be the first one to know!"

"You said it. I'll wait for that day!" Annabelle said.

Covi raised her hand, "I swear!"

"Okay, I shall let you off the hook this time!" Annabelle chuckled.

After that, the friends continued to chit chat in the balcony for some time. Until Alistair came to look for

Annabelle.

"I knew I could find the two of you here!" After saying that, Alistair walked over and put his arm around

Annabelle's shoulder naturally.

The moment Covi saw Alistair, she smiled and raised an eyebrow to Alistair, "Hello president Mu, I shall

leave Annabelle back to you!"

Alistair looked at Covi and he knew that she was the closest person to Annabelle in the company.

"We are going for lunch, do you want to follow us?" Alistair asked with a smile. His gorgeous face

almost gave Covi an illusion. His perfection was just unreal.

Covi was stunned for a while and she couldn't believe her ears. She pointed at herself and asked,

"Me?"

Annabelle laughed, "Do you see anyone else here except for you?"

Covi hurriedly smiled, "No need, there is no need. The two of you can go together and I shouldn't

interrupt your sweet time!"

Annabelle chuckled, "What sweet time~? We have spent more than enough time together and we are

not so attached!"

"But…"

"There is no need to worry. It's lunch break now, let's go together!" Annabelle said smilingly.

Covi glanced at Alistair and the man didn't say anything. After that, she nodded and said, "All right

then!"

Therefore, the three of them went to eat together.

Covi was looking forward to what kind of feast they were about to have…
