My Killing President

The two ended the call and Annabelle went back to her seat. She tidied her desk and carefully reviewed the document from Mu... She studied it meticulously and realised that this task is completely unrelated to her field of expertise.

Her eyebrow loured in concern, this seemed to be an intentional complication from Mu.

However it may be, she did not have much of a choice, a sink or swim situation. And Dorie will be charged with criminal offense.

Annabelle massaged her temple and begun processing the available information. Her gaze was focused and determined. She took it as a challenge to herself, and most importantly, to save Dorie.

After an hour, she reclined restfully and relaxed her strenuous eyes. It was fortunate for her to have substantial business exposures when she was studying in London. She was also especially grateful that many of her learning opportunities were not limited to classroom experiences only, but also covered interpersonal skills, problem solving techniques and critical thinking competence.

Seeing how absorbed Annabelle was in work, Covi slid over on her chair to check on her.

"Hi Annabelle, how come we didn't see you around yesterday?" Covi asked caringly.

Little did Annabelle knew, she had set a new record in Yun Rui, to be absent on her second day of work. Her colleagues were curious and bewildered. Some were even excitedly looking forward for good gossip materials.

Annabelle felt welcomed with her friendliness and she raised her head to greet her, "Hi Covi. I had some personal matters to attend to so I took the day off."

"Ah! No wonder, and here we were wondering what happened to you. We thought you were fired!" Covi said in a chuckle.

It was not unordinary for people to get fired for incompetence after their first day here in Yun Rui.

Knowing what her colleagues had been thinking, Annabelle smiled bitterly and almost let out a sigh. How she had hope the company would just fire her...

But if she were to share a piece her mind, Covi would definitely think that she has gone mad!

Annabelle shook her head gently and dive back into work. Watching how unself-conscious and absorbed she was, Covi was overcame with curiosity and asked, "What are you working on?" "Oh, just an assignment from Mr. Mu." Annabelle replied casually.

Covi casted a brief look at the document. When she noticed the familiar contract title, her eyes widened and her eyebrows rose in alarm.

"Why is this here!?" She gasped.

Covi's reaction suggested complications. And now Annabelle was positive that the contract was more than what met the eye...

"What about it?" Annabelle turned her body towards Covi and asked concernedly.

But Covi just stared speechlessly at Annabelle. After sometime, she asked, "Did you get on Mr. Mu's bad side?"

Urgh... Is that so obvious?

Annabelle smiled guilelessly, she pretended to be unsuspecting and asked, "Why do you say so?"

Then Covi turned to look around cautiously and whispered to Annabelle, "This second party of the contract - the CEO is an infamous lewd man!"

Annabelle's eyebrow immediately twisted in repulsion, and Covi continued on, "Not only that, he has a weird temper and vulgar character. Everyone else is trying to stay away from this task. The PR office surrendered this case to Mr. Mu and he was having a hard time with it!"

And now, this distressing complication was passed to Annabelle. Covi couldn't help but worry.

Moreover, a beauty like Annabelle was likely to face some harassment!

After the clarification, Annabelle finally got the big picture and understood what Mu was referring to when he mentioned a challenging task...

So that's it!

It was unthinkable of Mu's intention to pass her this case, what did he have in mind? Annabelle wondered.

"Annabelle, just reject this case. Otherwise, you will definitely be exploited!" Covi warned seriously.

I know that too, but do I really have a choice?¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
