My Killing President novel Chapter 688

The next second, Jerry Kuang walked towards Dorie and pulled her to one side.

"Woman, you were mistaken!"

Dorie showed a guileless face, "That's impossible!"

Jerry Kuang gave her an eye roll.

What a dull-witted woman!

"You were mistaken!" He repeated.

And Dorie caught on. She looked at him and giggled, "What are you offering?"

Jerry Kuang, "…"

Should he praise her for her wits or condemn her for her slyness…?

"What do you want?"

"I want the front cover for three days!" Dorie said.

When Jerry Kuang heard that, he looked at her and asked, "Why would you want that? Are you trying to get famous?"

"Of course not. I am an assistant and have a manager. I need to secure more chances for my artist!" Dorie said. She knew that Jerry Kuang was in the media line and Hua Yu Group was one of the Titans in the industry. As long as she could get Su in their news and in addition of Peter's marketing, it was highly probable that Su could get famous overnight!

"Artist? Who is your artist?"

"Shawn Su!" Dorie said with a sweet smile. Whenever she mentioned Su, she would show a joyous expression.

When Jerry Kuang looked at her, his lips curled up, "No problem. No problem at all! However, from hereby onwards, all that you saw wouldn't be me. Do you understand?"

Dorie nodded hurriedly and showed an OK sign, "Roger that!"

And Jerry Kuang let her go.

When the two of them went back, Annabelle looked at them and asked, "How was it? Have the two of you arrive on a conclusion?"

Dorie replied right away, "I was mistaken!"

The group, "…"

What a rapid twist!

Jerry Kuang simply showed a conceited face. He raised his chin and swaggered to one side.

The group of friends simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

After Covi and Dorie was done with the dress testing, they went to get changed. After that, the group of friends went to eat.

They continued to discuss and asked about the wedding details. However, Alistair simply stopped them and gave his word: secret.

They were getting married in one day. However, the man was still keeping the details confidential!

At that time, Dorie looked at Annabelle and asked, "Annabelle, where will it be held?"

When Annabelle heard that question, she chuckled, "Don't ask me. I didn't know anything!"

"You don't know?"

Annabelle nodded. She really didn't know.

At that time, Dorie averted her gaze and looked at Alistair, "You don't have to be so secretive. If it turned out to be a letdown, Mr. Mu, you will just humiliate yourself!"

Alistair simply continued to eat and he didn't mind at all, "You will know tomorrow!"

Annabelle looked at them and smiled.

She wasn't having too much of an expectation or looking forward to a big surprise. However, she sincerely appreciated his effort.

After the meal, Alistair and his three friends continued to discuss about the wedding details. Dorie, Covi and Annabelle were just chatting.

Alistair had blocked booked the entire hotel. They will be going over after the dinner.

When they were having a good time, Annabelle's phone rang. When she saw that number, she tensed up. After a long time, she picked up her phone and walked to the balcony.

She answered it and put it by her ear, "Hello…"

"Annabelle…" A charming voice was heard from the phone.

Annabelle was stunned. After that, she smiled, "Song Jing!"

"How are you? Did you miss me?" Song Jing asked.

Annabelle chuckled, "Of course! How are you over that? How is Vanessa?"

"She is fine!" Song Jing said. However, her migraine persisted. But he didn't tell Annabelle that.

"Umm…" Annabelle hesitated for a long while before continuing, "Song Jing, I am getting married!"

Song Jing knew that. He had been checking out the entertainment magazines about their updates.

"I've seen it from the magazines!" Song Jing said softly. The man had known Annabelle for so long and he was just regretful that they couldn't end up together.

"Are you coming to attend my wedding?"

"Do you want me to?" Song Jing asked back.

"… Of course. You are someone very important in my life, just like my family! I will be happy if you can come!" Annabelle said with a smile.

At that time, the cheery voice in the room stopped and the two persons in the room looked out at Annabelle as she was making the call in the balcony.

"Really?" Song Jing asked back indifferently.

"But… Maybe you can't make it already!" Annabelle replied. If he were to take the earliest flight, he would be reaching only in the noon tomorrow. He would have missed the wedding.

Song Jing was quiet for a while. After that, he said, "Annabelle, I will always be here whenever you need me!"

Annabelle picked up her phone and lowered her head. She stared at the garden downstairs. After pondering for a long while, she said, "Song Jing, thank you!"

"Okay, rest earlier!"

"Okay!"

After a simple conversation, they hung up.

Annabelle looked at her phone but she didn't have anything to say. She simply felt a little down casted for him.

Song Jing was an important person in her life. She must admit that without him, she wouldn't have ended up being herself. However, things changed when feelings were involved and evolved.

She was so hopeful that Song Jing could treat her the same as how she thought of him. A pure, platonic friendship.

But that wasn't the case.

Therefore, there was nothing she could do but feel remorseful and sad. The woman was praying for the best for Song Jing secretly.

Aside from that, she didn't know what else she could do for him.

When Dorie and Covi saw that she stood by the balcony even after hanging up the phone, they went over and checked on her.

"Are you all right, Annabelle?" Dorie asked.

Annabelle nodded, "I'm fine!"

"Was that Song Jing?"

Annabelle nodded, "Yeah!"

"He came back?"

Annabelle shook her head, "I don't know. He didn't say anything!"

Dorie knew Song Jing's feelings for Annabelle and their history. However, a long time had passed and it was already an impossibility. There was no point to think more about it.

Dorie hugged her, "All right now, don't overthink. Now that you have walked so far, just keep going. Song Jing will find his own happiness. That Princess Vanessa was a very nice person, no? He will definitely find his happiness!" Dorie said.

Annabelle nodded, "Yeah, you are right!"

"Okay now, our beautiful bride. It is your wedding tomorrow and you must maintain a happy mood!" Covi said.

Annabelle chuckled, "I'm not that fragile, I am really fine!"

"That's more like it, be a beautiful and restful bride. By the way, Annabelle, what you think about my proposal earlier? I wish to change the gowns over here and here…" Dorie dragged Annabelle away.

In mere minutes, Annabelle had completely forgotten about the call.

After the dinner in the night, Alistair sent someone to bring them to the hotel.

Before leaving, Alistair gave them a lot of reminders. Dorie was annoyed already and she fumed, "Alistair, that's enough! The two of you are getting married tomorrow and you don't have to be so sticky!"

Alistair hugged Annabelle and glanced at Dorie, "An unloved person like you will never understand. But I'll forgive you!"

After saying that, he kissed Annabelle's forehead, "Rest earlier, wait for me to pick you up tomorrow!"

Annabelle smiled and nodded.

Dorie was infuriated and her eyes were wide open. At that time, Covi hurriedly pulled her back, "Chill, chill!"

"Did you hear him? What did he mean by unloved!"

"Not at all, not at all!" Covi hurriedly coaxed her. Otherwise, there might be a fight breaking out later!

After that, the driver brought the lively group away.

The entire hotel was blocked booked and Dorie and Covi was just exhilarated. They had a great time. Actually, it wasn't a block booking since the hotel belonged to the Mu family. At most, they simply stopped their business operation.

When the two women went back to the room, they stood by the balcony excitedly, "There is a swimming pool downstairs. Hmm, I think we must talk to Alistair tomorrow and get this place to ourselves for at least two or three days! Let's go swimming!" Dorie said.

"Skinny dipping?"

Dorie looked at her and broke into a laughter, "Of course not!"

"Then why do you want the place to yourself or two or three days?"

"I want to enjoy this feeling of exclusiveness!"

Covi, "…"

All right. If that was the case then she had no comment.

When Annabelle saw that her friends were elated, she sat on the bed and smiled heartily.

It would be her wedding with Alistair tomorrow. She was losing in the track of time, confused whether they were going too far or too slow. All in all, she felt that everything was unreal.

After wandering around for the past few years, they ended up together again. When Annabelle thought about that, her lips curled up joyously…

As the friends continued to cheer and have a good time, Annabelle fell asleep quietly.

……

Early the next morning.

The three women was still sleeping but they were awakened by the knocking on the door.

Covi kicked Dorie with her legs, "Go get the door!"

Dorie struggled for some time and climbed up from the bed. After that, she went to open the door drowsily.
