My Killing President novel Chapter 36

“Annabelle, Mr. He wouldn’t retaliate…right?”

……

Annabelle’s mind went blank for a moment. This consideration had never crossed her mind. All she had in mind was to get the work done to help Dorie soon as possible.

She casted her mind back to last night, when she was hiding together with Mu in the room next door…

Mr. He was absolutely furious then!

Covi continued, “I heard that Mr. He is no good man. There are many rumours regarding his despicable and nefarious business dealings. Do you think he will get back on you with for what you’ve done?”

Annabelle shook her head. Her eyebrows lowered into a worrying frown.

“I honestly have no idea. Didn’t think it through then!”

“Well, it’s just rumours. Just be more vigilant, Annabelle!” Covi warned.

Annabelle nodded in obedience and gave her an appreciative smile.

Covi smiled back and went off to her own work.

Annabelle sat quietly contemplating. Covi’s warning was very analytical, Mr. He was quite the depraved man.

Well, yesterday is history and tomorrow’s a mystery, let’s just hope for the best!

Annabelle stretched her neck and plunged herself into work.

When it was about time to leave office, she received a call from an unknown number.

She was puzzled but answered it anyway.

“Hello?”

“Annabelle, it’s me!”

The distinctly familiar voice from the phone made Annabelle sprung up from her seat.

“Brother!?”

“Yes,” Ralphy Xia said, “Annabelle, are you back?”

Annabelle was surprised by his sudden call but even more surprised with his forthright question.

“How did you know!?” Annabelle questioned in return, her face became very perturbed.

“So it’s true… Why didn’t you come home?!” Ralphy asked sternly.
