My Killing President novel Chapter 68

“What are you two talking about?” All of a sudden, a voice flat and hard as a spade came from behind…

That overfamiliar voice sent a shiver down Annabelle’s spine.

They turned back to look and saw Mu approaching.

Every step he took was echoing in Annabelle’s ears, blocking all other sound. She could feel her fine hair rising on her neck, like a frightened cat.

They didn’t know how long had he been there, or how much he heard! Anxiousness crept from the bottom of her stomach and she could feel her legs turning jelly. If he had heard their conversation then hell would break loose!

Mu stared intently at them and repeated his question, “What are you two talking about?”

Annabelle gulped and steadied her panic. She put on her best attempted smile and replied, “Oh it’s nothing. I just got back from outside and we bumped into each other. This aunty was inquiring the restroom’s whereabouts!” She fabricated a lie and surrendered everything to fate.

“Are you sure?”

Mu’s eyebrows gathered faintly and gave her a penetrating stare.

Annabelle nodded mechanically. Now her adrenaline was pumping in like crazy and her sleepiness completely disappeared.

Mu turned to Mrs. Lee and asked, “Aunty, aren’t you familiar with the office?”

He knew too well that his housemaid had been there several times, it wasn’t possible for her to not know where the washroom was.

Mrs. Lee was like a cat on hot bricks and a little tongue tied to lie to Mu. However, since she promised Annabelle, she could only try, “Aah, it has been a long time, I forgot about it!”
