Annabelle turned to look at Mu and her eyes, her lips and her spirit all at once smiled at him, “Well, I don’t know how will it turn out. But.. I hope it can give you a surprise!”
“Give me…a surprise? Mu repeated densely after her.
Am I hallucinating?
Annabelle would normally evade him as much as possible, and now… the world just seemed to be a better place.
“What do you mean?” He smiled back. It was early in the morning and the high sunlit clouds were drifting on the clear blue sky.
“Secret!”
Mu gave her an eye-roll and didn’t ask anymore. Though he may appear casual, but he was all joyous inside and eagerly looking forward to it.
They reached soon after and Nischae came personally to welcome them.
“Mr. Mu! Miss Xia!” Nischae shook their hands passionately. Maybe it’s the culture, he was always energetic and vehement.
“Tell me about it Miss Xia, are you confident?” He had high expectation for Annabelle.
“Just like you said, I did what I can, enchanting the design with emotion and story. Well, the rest is up to the juries!” Annabelle replied upliftingly.
Nischae nodded in approval.
He admired that Annabelle was always self-possessed.
As they moved to the second floor, Annabelle handed her drawing to Nischae, “This is it, thanks!”
Nischae took over the carefully sealed drawing and gave her a smile, “Finally, I’ve been looking forward to it!”
Mu stepped up with a smile and inquired, “Nischae, when can we know the result?”
“In two days!”
They spent a short time chattering before Mu and Annabelle took their leave.
