Chapter 70 Overheard 3
Annabelle's comeback was gagging, and Mu's face turned unnatural trying not to laugh.
"Hmph!" Yoi harrumphed and fastened her arms, "Let's go!"
And Mu went along silently.
On the other hand, Covi was a little unsettled.
She saw how blatant Annabelle was when she talked back to Yoi and that got Covi pretty worked up. She didn't think there's anyone else in DoD that dared to talk to Yoi like that. "Annabelle, are you close with Yoi?"
"Not at all!"
"Then? Aren't you afraid to have offended her just now?" Covi asked worriedly.
Everyone knew that she was the beloved princess of Hans' Group and also Mu's lover. In the future, she might even be Mrs. Mu!
"Why should I be afraid? Can't I even reject a lunch offer?"
Furthermore, Yoi wasn't really inviting her, she was just being ostentatious. Why should she put up with her over and over again?
"But she is Mr. Mu's girlfriend... Aren't you worried that she might spur him against you?"
Annabelle scoffed, "Girlfriend? Don't you know Mr. Mu even divorced his wife? I don't think their relationship can last longer than my battery life!" Covi was stunned with her comeback, and broke into an uncontrollable giggle.
It had been awhile since they knew each other and Covi found out that Annabelle was always very clever and witty with her responses. "Annabelle, I gotta hand it to you!"
"I'm not insulting, just relating!" Annabelle humbly did a courtsy. She had to admit that it felt good saying that to Yoi, like popping bubble wraps. Even more so when she did it in front of Mu!
At the very least, she didn't want to give an impression that she was docile like a herbivore, and let Yoi feel like she could bully her around just anytime. Annabelle merely did not want to bother herself with her. Covi and Annabelle picked their dishes and sat side by side in the cafeteria.
"Actually, it felt pretty good to see someone stood up to her!"
"Huh?"
"Quite a lot of us from DoD are unhappy with her, but nobody dared to say a thing!"
Annabelle scooped herself a mouthful and gestured she was all ears.
"Previously, there was a female colleague that offended her and she literally chewed her out. I remember she hid in the toilet and cried for the entire afternoon, how brutal!" Covi sizzled a breath and continued, "Therefore, if you strip her off her halo effect; being the young lady of Hans' Group and Mu's girlfriend, she's a good for nothing that no one likes!"
Annabelle grinned and added on, "Probably she should eat her make up so she can be pretty on the inside too!"
"Hahaha! Agree!"
And the two burst into uncontrollable laughter.
As they were enjoying their lunch, Covi suddenly had a hunch and asked, "Annabelle, why do I feel that Yoi was always deliberately messing with you?"
Ever since Annabelle joined the company, Covi noticed that Yoi hardly paid attention to other people anymore. And every time she saw Annabelle it was like bull seeing red.
