My Killing President novel Chapter 614

That feeling was different from being with Covi. Annabelle could feel relaxed when she spends time with Covi. Their friendship made her happy and relaxed. As for Esther Ji…

She looked at Esther Ji and didn’t say anything. She simply smiled and continued to eat.

Esther Ji had good EQ. Just her first day and she managed to get into a good relationship with everyone in the department.

Annabelle was only one that was uninterested in her.

In the afternoon, Annabelle went to the pantry for her coffee. There weren’t many people at that time and Annabelle was pouring herself a drink. All of a sudden, Esther Ji walked inside.

When the woman saw Annabelle, she walked forward, "Miss Xia, what a coincidence!"

When Annabelle heard that, she turned her head back and looked at her with a smile, "I come here around this time almost every day!"

"Oh, I see!"

"What are you drinking?"

"Just coffee!" Esther Ji answered.

Annabelle nodded and said no more.

At that time, Esther Ji walked over and made herself a cup of coffee. She held it on her hand and showed no intention to leave, "Miss Xia, I heard that you have been together with president Mu for a long time!"

Annabelle hadn’t expected Esther Ji to ask that suddenly. She looked at her and nodded, "Yeah."

"I heard that the two of you were married before but got separated after that?" Esther Ji continued to ask.

Annabelle was holding her cup. When she heard Esther Ji, her lips curled up, "I think all of those were in the news!"

"And so, are those from the news real?" Esther Ji asked.

Although Annabelle was irritated, she nodded.

"Then… Why did the two of you separate?" Esther Ji continued to ask.

When Annabelle heard that, her eyebrows lowered faintly and she tensed her chin. She looked back at Esther Ji and said, "… That is my privacy!"

Esther Ji’s expression changed and she said awkwardly, "Sorry about that, Miss Xia. I was just asking in curiosity. Are you angry?" Esther Ji looked at Annabelle and asked.

Annabelle stared at the woman. She didn’t know if she was doing it on purpose or pretending. However, she made Annabelle felt uncomfortable.

She smiled and said, "Not to that extent. But I do mind about that. Miss Ji, you just joined the company and you should focus your attention in work!" Annabelle said. The woman exuded a strong aura and Esther Ji felt intimidated.

"I will!"

Annabelle glanced at her. She said no more and walked out directly.

After she left, Esther Ji raised her eyes and stared at Annabelle’s back view. The woman seemed to be plotting something…

There were plenty of speculations about how Esther Ji joined the company.

There were even those that claimed she came in via special favor and Alistair was the one that backed her up. Others said that she had some sort of relationship with Alistair and that was her ticket to join the company.

Esther Ji was simply ignorant towards the gossips. Even if others asked her, she simply smiled back and made no clarifications. She seemed to be enjoying the gossips.

One day, when Annabelle and Covi were walking upstairs, they heard a few female colleagues gossiping together.

"Esther Ji, I heard that you entered the company because you have a special relationship with president Mu! Is that true? What is your relationship with president Mu?" The colleagues asked curiously. When they looked at Esther Ji’s expression, they felt that she was definitely related to president Mu.

The small group of women gathered around and gossiped.

Esther Ji did not answer. However, the smile on her face was suggestive and it could easily cause misunderstandings.

When Covi and Annabelle observed Esther Ji’s expression from nearby, Covi frowned.

Annabelle simply ignored her and walked over. At that time, the crowd noticed Covi and Annabelle. But the moment Esther Ji saw Annabelle, she hurriedly said, "You guys should cut it out. I do not have any relationship with president Mu… Don’t forget that president Mu is already engaged with Miss Xia!" Esther Ji said.

The woman was quick to change her expression and put on a pretense. However, Annabelle simply smiled and said nothing.

Nobody could stop rumors in the office. And it was always the entertainment. Annabelle bet that the colleagues were just excited to see a fight breaking between her and Esther Ji.

However, she didn’t mind at all.

The reason Annabelle didn’t mind was because she trusted Alistair.

That was an unconditional and inexplicable trust.

Covi didn’t share the same feeling as Annabelle. She smiled and walked over. After she took a glance at Esther Ji, she said, "Exactly, president Mu is engaged with Annabelle and they will be marrying soon. You guys know how well president Mu treats Annabelle, if he were to find out that the group of you are gossiping about this, you might bring trouble to yourself. Miss Ji, right?"

Covi’s words were filled with scorn and ridicule. Esther Ji was awkward and her face turned pale.

However, she continued to smile and nodded, "Of course!"

The few colleagues looked at Covi. They knew that she was close with Annabelle and they didn’t dare to say much. And so, the crowd dispersed unhappily.

Annabelle simply sat in her own seat, as if whatever happened had nothing to do with her.

At that time, Covi and Esther Ji exchanged a look.

Esther Ji looked at Annabelle and approached her, "Miss Xia, are you misunderstanding me? There is nothing between me and president Mu!"

When Annabelle heard that unnecessary explanation, she raised her eyes and looked at her. The woman’s lips curled up as she said, "You don’t have to explain it to me. I know very well what kind of person president Mu is."

Esther Ji’s expression changed slightly and she replied right away, "Yeah, I believe president Mu loves you deeply!"

When Annabelle heard her, she simply smiled and said no more.

After all, Esther Ji was carrying herself humbly. If Annabelle were to rebuke her, she would seem unreasonable.

At that time, outside Alistair’s office.

The secretary was asking Jack.

"Jack, I heard that the newcomer came in because of president Mu. What kind of relationship does she have with president Mu?" The secretary asked curiously.

When Jack heard that, he frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Everyone is talking about that now. The entire company was guessing her relationship with president Mu. You were always together with president Mu and so you must know something we don’t. So what is their relationship?" The secretary asked curiously.

Jack frowned. The man just found out how bad the gossip was.

Jack pondered for a while and looked at the secretary, "Those from outside may not know the truth, but what about you? You should know boss’ feelings towards Miss Xia. You better don’t run your mouth like that again. If boss were to get angry, I can’t save you!"

After hearing that, the secretary raised her eyebrows.

"Give me the documents, I will deliver it to him!"

The secretary hurriedly handed the documents over. Jack took it and walked inside the office.

Alistair was working. When Jack walked inside, he lowered the documents on the table.

"Sir, these are the documents for the project." Jack put them down.

Alistair glanced over and nodded. Then, he went back to work.

Before Jack went out, he looked at Alistair and decided to speak, "Sir…"

Alistair raised his head. When he saw that Jack was trying to talk to him, he asked, "What’s up?"

"Why do you let that Esther Ji work here?" Jack asked curiously.

When Alistair heard that, his eyebrows lowered faintly. The man stared at his assistant and asked, "What’s the problem with that?"

Jack pondered for a while and approached him, "Sir, we have rumors in the company, saying that Esther Ji entered the company because of you!" Jack said.

Alistair nodded, "That was the truth, what’s wrong with it?"

What’s wrong with it?

Jack moved closer again and said, "Not just that, sir. Some of them were saying that you have a special relationship with Esther Ji…"

Alistair frowned.

"Even if you are completely innocent, you should consider about Miss Xia’s feelings. Try to think about it, if she were to hear that, what will she think?" Jack said.

Alistair pondered for a while and raised his face to look at Jack, "Do you think she will behave like others?"

"What?"

Alistair’s lips curled up, "How I hope she would be jealous!"

Jack blinked his eyes. He didn’t know what was running in his boss’ mind.

"But those rumors…"

"I will see to it!" Alistair said.

After Jack heard that, he nodded, "Okay, I understand. I shall get out first."

Alistair nodded and Jack walked out.

The man had asked the questions but he got no answer.

What was sir thinking?

And in the afternoon that, he got his answer.

When it was about time to leave work, Alistair went to the design department.

After Annabelle Alistair got together, they would always appear together publicly. However, Alistair would rarely visit the design department. Now that he came over, he caused a furore.

The man walked directly towards Annabelle and asked, "Miss Xia, can I invite you for a meal?"

Annabelle was still working. When she heard the question, she raised her head. The moment she saw that it was Alistair, she was stunned. After that, she answered, "I still have a few minutes left, talk to you later!"

"Okay, I’ll wait for you!"

And so, there was that weird scene in the office.

Annabelle sat on her desk and worked seriously. Alistair was wearing his windbreaker and waited quietly by her side.

Everyone knew that Alistair pampered Annabelle. But ever since their engagement, that was the first time the office workers saw how their president treated his fiancée…
