"I…" All of a sudden Alistair didn't know what to say.
He was holding his phone and hesitating if he should make the call. But when he made the first call, there was no one there picked up and he made a second call impatiently. He was surprised that the second call went through!
"May I know if there's anything?" Annabelle asked again.
"Of course!" Alistair said.
"What is it, just say it!" Annabelle said through the phone.
"Annabelle, are you avoiding me!?" Alistair asked suddenly.
Annabelle sat on the carpet. She was drawing her design and speaking with Alistair over the phone. The moment she heard that, she was stunned and even her drawing hand stopped.
"Why should I avoid you!?" She simply paused for a while and continued with her drawing. But without realizing, she wasn't drawing as seriously as just now…
"As for why, I think you should be clear about it!"
"I am not, please clarifying that, President Mu!" Annabelle said.
The best way to converse with Alistair was to pretend that one was dumb and ignorant.
It wasn't too good to be to understanding at times.
The moment she finished, Annabelle felt that she had heard Alistair grinding his teeth over the phone. She couldn't help but thought to herself, luckily, they were having a phone call, if they were to meet face-to-face, he wouldn't be letting her off easily!
"Annabelle, are you afraid that you would fall in love with me and therefore you are avoiding me?" Alistair asked.
When Annabelle heard that, she jeered secretly at Alistair at his unnamed confidence!
But in order to be safe, Annabelle wouldn't be saying that to him!
She pondered for a moment and said, "President Mu, if you are really that charming, I would be falling in love with you even if I'm staying at home!"
"What do you mean by that?" Alistair frowned.
"Literally!" Annabelle didn't make any explanation and she was being courteous in order to not let Alistair find fault.
