“Mr. Mu, it’s me.”
Hearing this pleasant voice made Mu’s heart skipped a beat. His lips curved in smugness and he replied, “…May I know who is this?”
Annabelle knew that over the phone, Alistair absolutely, undisputedly and unquestionably had recognized her voice. And then he was just enjoying being a jerk!
“Annabelle Xia!” She gritted her teeth in irritation.
And there was a long pause over the phone, Annabelle assumed that he was distracted by work or something else. Then he asked carefreely, “Oh hey it’s you, the money’s ready?”
Annabelle felt triggered. Whenever she spoke to him, she felt as if her blood pressure ran amok. She took in a deep breath, and tried her best attempt to speak calmly, “That is not why I called today.”
“Oh? Then may I know why are you calling?”
“It is about the car accident!”
Mu put down his pen and lazed back on his swivel chair. Suited in an elegant black once more and he looked exactly like a villian in some Bond’s movie.
“Well well, what does it have to do with you?” He spoke with an enthralling charm.
“Mr. Mu, you should know that Dorie is my dear friend!” Annabelle restlessly said.
“And so what…?” He asked innocently.
“Can you please drop your charges? It was clearly an uncomplicated accident, why are you suing for intentional harm?” Annabelle replied.
Mu had a sly grin on his face, he pretended to get worked up and said, “Miss Xia, are you suggesting that I have wrongly accused her?”
“You should know best!” Annabelle almost yelled back.
Alistair must be doing this on purpose, and yet he was speaking so nonchalantly!
Mu was actually enjoying the moment. He tried his best not to sound shaky from swallowing all his laughter and be serious.
“Miss Xia, I must remind you to watch your words. How can you be sure that she wasn’t intentional? You do remember last night we have had a bad time in the diner right? That explains her motive to hit me with her car.
She was causing harm to me, and you want me to unhand her?”
