Chapter 23 Preparation
"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?
She had no doubt that should she reject this assignment, Dorie will just end up being the collateral damage.
And since there was no more room in hell, she might as well focus her effort and get it over with.
Annabelle contemplated for a moment and asked, "Covi, do you know any information regarding this CEO?"
"Of course, there's a lot!" Covi straightened her back and replied.
"Please tell me more." Annabelle asked earnestly.
She needed to get her hands on as much information as possible to better handle the situation. As Sun Tzu taught, if you know your enemy and know yourself, you will not fear a thousand battles!
Covi helpfully spent some time to run over everything she could think of. After that, she got even more worried and said, "Those dreadful stories were first hand experiences from our female colleagues. I've even heard worse from other companies. Annabelle, do you really have to go?"
Annabelle nodded her head stubbornly. "This is my first assignment in Yun Rui. How can I disappoint Mr. Mu?"
"But this is not supposed to be delegated to someone your expertise!" Covi exclaimed vexedly.
"All the more reason to praise Mr. Mu for his clever judgement!" Annabelle fluttered her eyes and spoke jovially.
And Covi can feel her burning sarcasm...
For the rest of the day, Annabelle spent all her time to study both the contract and the signing party.
When it was about time to leave office, she went to the staff room to get a drink. When she came out, she was so absorbed in thought that she almost ran into someone. And the person was none other than Yoi, again...
She was wearing a crusted floral sequin wrap top and skinny jeans, and the water from Annabelle's cup almost spilled on her, again....
Is this a Charlie Brown karma or what?
Luckily the collision was avoided, otherwise tragedy were going to repeat itself.
Yoi's anger was roused, however when she looked clearly and recognized Annabelle, she was caught in a surprise.
"Its you?!" She blurted out in muddle, "Why are you still here?"
"Why shouldn't I be here? I am Yun Rui's staff," Annabelle replied faultlessly.
But Yoi's eyebrow knitted in confusion, "Didn't you resign?"
Annabelle was alerted by her reaction. She was positive that no one else knew about her resignation. And now the question was, how could she know? Annabelle acted unsuspectful and asked in return, "Miss Han, how did you know about this matter? My resignation wasn't made known to public. Unless..." Yoi instantly sprung like a frightened cat and interrupted, "What nonsense are you spewing!"
If Mu heard any of this, then she will get into trouble!
Annabelle kept quiet. But her silent and suspecting stare began to unnerve Yoi.
Yoi's face was like thunder and she jutted her chin.
"Miss Xia, if you don't want to be fired, then I suggest you watch your tongue..." She whispered softly to Annabelle with a threatening tone.
After that, she gave Annabelle a warning glare and strode off towards Mu's office.00
