Chapter 613 Recruit
Chapter 613 Recruit
"President Mu, thank you so much! Please rest assured, I will make sure to do my best!" Esther Ji said
smilingly. She looked at Alistair and her eyes were filled with a different emotion.
At that moment, the door was opened and Annabelle walked inside.
The moment Alistair saw Annabelle, his eyes lit up and a smile curled on his face. The man’s eyes
were gentle, "Finished work?"
Annabelle nodded and walked forward, "Are you still busy?"
"Just done. We can go eat now!" Alistair said that right after he saw Annabelle.
Esther Ji stood by the side. The moment she saw Annabelle standing together with Alistair, the man
showed an entirely different expression. His gaze towards her was filled with gentleness and adoration.
As if she was his entire world. Esther Ji was envious to see that.
How great it was if a man would treat her like that.
Her eyes were filled with longing.
However, she knew that she must rely on herself if she wanted a good life like that.
"President Mu, I shall excuse myself then!" Esther Ji said softly and interrupted them.
At that time, Alistair and Annabelle turned their head towards her and Alistair nodded, "Okay."
And so, Esther Ji raised her head and stole a look at Annabelle. After that, she turned around and left.
After the door was closed, Annabelle turned her head over to look at Alistair. She smiled and said, "She
had even dressed up purposely to meet you!"
Alistair raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Are you jealous?"
Annabelle smiled, "A beauty’s company for the entire afternoon... President Mu, rumors were stirred
outside your office!"
"And Annabelle, are you jealous?" Alistair looked at her and giggled mirthfully. Alistair’s smile was
always so enchanting.
Annabelle lifted her chin confidently, "In comparison to her, I still have my confidence!" She smiled.
When Alistair looked at her, he smiled as well. He stretched out his arms and hugged her, "Let’s go
eat!"
"Okay!"
And so, the both of them went for dinner.
It had been a long while since they ate together. Too many things had happened lately and they could
hardly spend time together. It was fortunate that they could go home and spent time at night.
When they were eating, Annabelle recalled something, "By the way, do you want to visit grandma
later?"
After knowing the cause of her accident, they still haven’t visit her.
Alistair looked at her and said, "It is getting late now, let’s go tomorrow!"
Annabelle nodded in agreement.
The two continued to eat and the atmosphere didn’t get sour after that. They continued to have a good
time.
At that time, Annabelle’s phone rang. When Annabelle saw the number, she looked at Alistair and
answered it.
"Hey, Dorie…."
"Annabelle, let me tell you this, that stupid log is a betrayer! You should stop caring about him from now
on!" Right after she answered the phone, Dorie scolded.
Annabelle moved the phone closer and asked, "What’s wrong?"
"To summarize it, from now onwards, his matters are not related to me anymore! If you don’t want to
get in trouble because of him, stop caring for him and get involved with him. I still have something to
busy about, talk again some other day!" After saying that, Dorie hung up the call.
Annabelle held her phone and blinked her eyes.
"What’s wrong?" Alistair asked.
"Dorie called me so randomly, telling me not to care about Su anymore…"
"Are they quarrelling?"
"I think so!"
"Couples always act like that when they quarrel!"
Annabelle was eating and her gesture paused, "But they are not a couple!"
Alistair raised his eyebrows uncaringly, "Don’t you think they match each other?"
When Annabelle heard that, she gave it a serious thought and nodded, "I think so too!"
The two of them exchanged a look and laughed.
Dorie was softhearted but harsh with her words. Su was an experienced man. Therefore, the two
matched each other quite well.
Annabelle had never seen anyone that could enrage Dorie to such extent that she hung up the call like
that.
Su was the first one! Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
As she thought about that, she couldn’t help but think that the two were very suited to each other.
However, Annabelle would not interfere. After all, it was Dorie’s future. She should be the one that
decides and chooses.
After the dinner, Annabelle and Alistair drove back slowly. They were enjoying their ride and chit chat in
their journey.
When the gentle breeze blew on them, it felt very comfortable.
Annabelle had a sudden thought. She turned her head over to look at Alistair, "Alistair, after everything
is done, do you want to travel with me?"
Alistair tilted his head and smiled gently at her, "Where do you want to go?"
"Hmm… How about France? I want to experience something exotic!"
Alistair was driving with one hand and holding Annabelle’s hand with another, "Why? You haven’t spent
enough time in London?"
"Although that was also a European country, the culture was different and so the experience would be
different as well. France is a romantic country. I really want to experience it together with you!"
Annabelle said longingly.
The woman was always an independent and sharp-witted woman. It was rare to see her longing like a
teenage girl. When Alistair looked at her expression, he couldn’t explain his feelings.
Annabelle…
What kind of woman are you? And what else are there to discover about you?
As Annabelle was talking, they reached home. Alistair parked the car and turned his head over to look
at Annabelle.
"Can we?" She blinked her long eyelashes and asked.
Alistair stretched out his hand and caressed her face. The man looked at her lovingly and desirously,
"That depends on how well you please me…" After saying that, he kissed on her lips.
Annabelle sat at the passenger seat as she watched him moved closer. The woman did not push him
away but she wrapped her arms around him smilingly and reciprocated his kiss…
……
The next day, when Annabelle was working, sister Zhang came inside their department, "Let me
introduce a new colleague!"
The group of them turned their head back and some of them could recognize Esther Ji. She was the
woman that spent an entire afternoon in president Mu’s office yesterday.
She was pleasant looking but she seemed to have paid too much effort in dressing up herself.
Nonetheless, she was still considered a beauty.
That was the review the colleagues from the department gave Esther Ji. After all, with Annabelle being
the number one beauty, it was just too difficult to have someone that could surpass her.
"Esther Ji, she will be one of the team in the design department now!" Sister Zhang introduced happily.
As the crowd looked at Esther Ji, the woman was standing there and she had a light make up on. Her
cheek was blushing and she had a pair of lively, big doe eyes. When she smiled, they would curve into
a crescent, "Hello everyone, I am Esther Ji. Feel free to call me Esther. I am pleased to meet your
acquaintance and I hope you guys can take care of me, let’s have a good time working together!"
The design department would always welcome a female, especially a beautiful one at that. Therefore,
Esther Ji was very welcomed.
As Annabelle quote Covi’s remark: she belongs to the middle level, not too pretty and vice versa. All
those single men in the design department would have their chance.
When Covi saw that Esther Ji mingled with the crowd, she stood beside Annabelle and whispered in a
low voice, "Why do I feel that she is Yoi number two!?"
When Annabelle heard that, she turned her head over and looked at Covi.
At that time, Esther Ji walked towards her.
"Miss Xia…"
Annabelle turned her head back and looked at Esther Ji. The young woman was smiling neighborly and
in humility, "Hi, Miss Xia, I am Esther Ji. We met yesterday but I'm so sorry I didn’t manage to greet
you!"
Annabelle looked at her and smiled, "Don’t worry about it, I didn’t know you will be joining us here!"
"It was president Mu that gave me the chance to work here!" Esther Ji said. Although she was smiling
and speaking thankfully, Annabelle managed to notice something in her eyes.
"If that’s the case, just do your best and work hard!"
Esther Ji nodded, "I will. By the way, Miss Xia, can we have lunch together later? My treat!" Esther Ji
said.
Right after she said that and before Annabelle could say anything, Covi chuckled from behind,
"Annabelle would always eat with president Mu in the noon!"
Once Esther Ji heard that, she looked at Annabelle and said, "Oh, no problem!"
"Don’t worry, we will have the chance!" Annabelle said.
Esther Ji nodded, "Got it, then I shall go to work first!"
Annabelle nodded and Esther Ji went back to her desk and started to work. At that time, Covi looked at
Annabelle and shrugged her shoulders.
Although Esther Ji knew how to mingle around, her overly enthusiastic attitude made Annabelle
uncomfortable. Fortunately, she wasn’t too pushy.
In the noon, when Covi was eating with Annabelle, Esther Ji came with her plate of food. The moment
she saw Annabelle, she was stunned and she walked towards them.
"Miss Xia… Aren’t you eating together with president Mu?" Esther Ji asked.
Actually, the couple wouldn’t eat together every day. Covi was just saying that on purpose earlier.
Annabelle sat there and replied calmly, "He has a meeting later and so I am eating here!"
"Oh, so that was it…" As she said that, she looked at the two women and asked, "Then… Can I join
you two?"
Covi looked at Annabelle as if she was saying: I knew she’s gonna say that!
Annabelle smiled, "Please help yourself!"
"Thank you!" As Esther Ji said that, she sat opposite Covi. At that time, she recalled something all of a
sudden and looked at Covi, "By the way, I still don’t know your name!"
"You can call me Covi!"
"Covi, what a nice name!"
Covi smiled and didn’t say much.
It was Esther Ji that looked at them and said, "I just came here and didn’t know anyone. The only
person that I have made acquaintance is Miss Xia. Can I join the two of you for lunch next time?"
Esther Ji asked.
Covi’s gesture of eating paused.
That woman… Wasn’t she just too aggressive?
Annabelle sat opposite her and she was calmer. She answered smilingly, "Sure! As long as we are
here, you are most welcome to join us!"
"Really? That’s great!" Esther Ji said and she started eating. "What a surprise! The food in Yun Rui’s
canteen is so good!" After saying that, she continued eating.
Annabelle and Covi exchanged a look. They didn’t know if Esther Ji was doing it on purpose or she
was simply pretending. The woman just gave off a weird vibe, and it was just difficult to describe her.
That feeling was different from being with Covi. Annabelle could feel relaxed when she spends time
with Covi. Their friendship made her happy and relaxed. As for Esther Ji…
