My Killing President novel Chapter 698

When the news about Xia Xing going back to work was made known, the design department was elated.

Now they would have their greatest back up!

Now that Annabelle was working in their department, if anything were to happen, president Mu wouldn't be too harsh on them. Therefore, the colleagues arranged a small welcome party.

Covi was the happiest of them all. She could finally have her friend back and not just bother herself with the gossipers and materialistic friends.

Early in the morning, Annabelle and Alistair went to the company after finishing breakfast.

Now they didn't need to avoid showing up in public together because they had officially married. And Annabelle was the official Mrs. Mu, the female boss of Yun Rui!

"You seem to be in good mood to be in the company!" Alistair said.

Annabelle smiled, "That's of course! Haven't you heard it, a woman that depends on man will only lose her self-worth. A self -dependent woman is most charming!" After saying that, she gave Alistair a proud look.

Alistair looked at her and smiled, "Darling, don't forget that your net worth is amongst the top in A city. How can you lose your worth?" The woman had a substantial amount of shares of two huge companies. Her net worth was already in the billions.

When Annabelle heard that, she chuckled, "Those aren't what I worked for and let's just leave it for now!"

As Alistair looked at her, he smiled and drove with one hand while holding Annabelle's hand with another. The man had a contended smile.

As they reached the company, the couple went down together. When they got into the design department, Alistair said, "Let me accompany you there!"

"There is no need. Your meeting is starting soon. I can just go over myself. It's not like it's my first day here!"

Alistair nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll come visit you after the meeting!"

Annabelle nodded and Alistair kissed her forehead. At that time, the lift door opened and she walked inside.

Annabelle went straight to the design department.

Right after she walked inside, she saw that all of the workers were gathering together.

She felt a comfortable familiarity. The moment Annabelle walked through the door, she heard a loud *pop*. It was the party proper.

"Congratulations to our female boss' victorious return!!!" The colleagues in the design department cheered.

Annabelle jumped in fright and she laughed at them, "What victorious return? I wasn't going to war!"

"It is considered one when you are ‘battling' our boss!"

Annabelle laughed, "Thank you everyone!"

She walked inside and sat on her own seat, putting her handbag beside her computer.

"You are back, now we don't have to worry about president Mu being too harsh on the design department!" One of her male colleague cheered.

"How can you say that!? Even if that is the truth, you should keep it low!" And the female colleagues dragged him to one side.

When Annabelle looked at the lively group, she smiled.

"I hope I won't to be dragging your progress!"

"Of course not! We know what you are capable of!" At that time, Covi said.

Annabelle simply smiled and nodded.

After chatting for some time, the colleagues went back to work. Covi looked at her and said, "Your stomach will be bulging soon, why are you coming back to work so suddenly?"

"Because I miss you too much and I want to spend time with you!" Annabelle said naughtily.

"Cut your crap!" Covi laughed, "All right, let's work first and talk later!"

Annabelle nodded and Covi went back to work.

As Annabelle sat in her own seat, she felt that time had passed so fast. She had joined Yun Rui for a short few months and she changed from being an innocent girl to a mother!

She looked around and the only thing that hadn't changed was her passion in work.

Working could distract her from those troubling thoughts. That was also one of Annabelle's objectives to go back to work.

When she thought about that, she looked at the documents in front of her and started to catch up with the progress.

At that time, she noticed that her chair was changed. It was different from the rest of the others and it was comfortable and soft. She looked around and everyone else was working. She didn't need to think much and she knew that it was Alistair's special arrangements.

As she thought about that, she felt warm in her heart.

Alistair was having a meeting upstairs. After he was done, it was almost twelve o'clock in the noon already. After he tidied his documents, he got out from his office and went to the design department.

"President Mu!"

"President Mu!"

The moment Alistair appeared in the design department, all of the workers greeted him. They knew that ever since Annabelle took a leave, the man had never come to their department. Now that he came, the workers knew that they needed to suffer the public display of affection.

"How do you feel? Are you tired?" Alistair looked at Annabelle and asked.

Annabelle shook her head, "I am completely fine!"

Her eyes were gleaming in gentleness.

"President Mu, you are so happy, shouldn't you treat us for lunch!" At that time, some of the workers joked with Alistair.

Alistair wrapped an arm of Annabelle and looked at the crowd, "What do you guys want to eat?"

The moment he said that, the workers' eyes lit up.

"That depends on president Mu's sincerity!"

Alistair chuckled, "If that's the case, I'll treat the lunch today. All of you can go to the restaurant and buy just anything, I'll pay!"

"President Mu, are you for real?"

"Did I have never lie to you guys?"

"President Mu, you have made a wise decision. I'll go make my orders first!"

"Me too, me too…"

"Let's go together!"

The few female colleagues cheered and went out together.

At that time, Covi walked over and chuckled, "It seems like president Mu will need to burn a hole in his pocket today!"

Annabelle laughed as well, "That's president Mu's tactic to win their heart~" Yun Rui's canteen was pretty high standard. Since the man said that, they could expect some surprises over that!

Alistair smiled confidently, "If I can't even take care of my workers' lunch, that simply mean my company is just substandard!"

Annabelle gave him an eye roll for his conceit. She looked at Covi and said, "Let's go and grab lunch!"

Covi laughed heartily. She glanced at Alistair and went away with Annabelle.

Alistair watched them from the back. The man smiled and followed after them.

As expected!

The lunch that day was sumptuous and plentiful!

There were all kinds of vegetable and meat dishes and they all looked expensively delicious.

Alistair would rarely eat in the canteen. But the man had been frequenting the place after knowing Annabelle.

As soon as he showed up, even the chief chef came out from the kitchen. He looked at Alistair respectfully and asked, "President Mu, may I know what do you want to eat?"

Alistair sat with a domineering posture yet he wasn't arrogant, "There is no need. I'll just eat the same as them!"

"Okay, I'll serve your food right away!"

Alistair nodded and the chef hurried back into the kitchen.

As the two women sat across Alistair saw what happened, Covi and Annabelle broke into a laughter, "It is truly humbling for president Mu to eat with us here!"

"Glad that you know!" Alistair gave them an eye roll.

At that time, the workers in the canteen looked at Alistair and said, "President Mu, thank you for the lunch!"

"Thank you president Mu!"

"Thank you president Mu!"

The canteen was in a lively and cheery atmosphere.

Alistair didn't say anything and simply looked at Annabelle and Covi. The two women said nothing and dived in to their food.

Time passed slowly under such a cheery atmosphere…

……

When Renee An woke up, she felt a piercing gastric pain.

The woman had been drinking too much last night with an empty stomach. She didn't even remove her make-up and went to sleep right away. Now she was suffering the bad hangover.

The woman went into the bathroom and took a quick rinse. However, her gastric was just getting worse.

After cleaning up, she went downstairs.

Waynie was downstairs when Renee An came down. The moment the mother saw her, she asked, "Renee, you're up!"

When Renee An looked at Waynie, her expression changed. She didn't know how to face the mother.

She hated Ralphy and Annabelle, but as for Waynie…

Renee An didn't know what to do. But at that very moment, she couldn't put up a friendly smile.

"Auntie Li, do you have stomach medicine? I have gastric!" Renee An called out.

As Waynie stood there, she was stunned. Normally Renee An would always greet her sweetly, calling her mum. Even if she didn't do that, she would show her a polite smile. But now Renee An was simply ignoring her on purpose.

"Renee, are you having a gastric? Should I go do a checkup with you in the hospital?" Waynie hurried over to care for her. But After Renee An got downstairs, she walked away and simply continued to ignore her.

Waynie stood on the same spot and couldn't describe her feeling.

Auntie Li found gastric medicine and got it to Renee An with a glass of water. Renee An took it.

Waynie hesitated for a while and walked towards her, "Auntie Li, please prepare breakfast for Renee!"

"Okay!" The housekeeper answered and went to the kitchen.

Renee An sat there in the living room while Waynie sat next to her, "Renee, have you been drinking too much yesterday?"

When Renee An heard that, she turned her head towards her but showed no emotion nor said anything.

When Waynie saw that she was unwilling to speak, the mother continued to ask, "Renee, are you trouble? Did you quarrel with Ralphy?"

Renee An continued to keep her silence. However, her reaction was just showing a silent acquiescence.

"Renee, although I didn't know why the two of you were quarrelling, I want to tell you that every married couple will quarrel. But please don't hurt each other's feeling because of that!"

"Feeling?" Renee An looked at her in deride. That word was simply a stinging irony.
