My Killing President
Chapter 36 Contact

"Annabelle, Mr. He wouldn't retaliate...right?"

Annabelle's mind went blank for a moment. This consideration had never crossed her mind. All she had in mind was to get the work done to help Dorie soon as possible.

She casted her mind back to last night, when she was hiding together with Mu in the room next door...

Mr. He was absolutely furious then!

Covi continued, "I heard that Mr. He is no good man. There are many rumours regarding his despicable and nefarious business dealings. Do you think he will get back on you with for what you've done?"

Annabelle shook her head. Her eyebrows lowered into a worrying frown.

"I honestly have no idea. Didn't think it through then!"

"Well, it's just rumours. Just be more vigilant, Annabelle!" Covi warned.

Annabelle nodded in obedience and gave her an appreciative smile.

Covi smiled back and went off to her own work.

Annabelle sat quietly contemplating. Covi's warning was very analytical, Mr. He was quite the depraved man.

Well, yesterday is history and tomorrow's a mystery, let's just hope for the best!

Annabelle stretched her neck and plunged herself into work.

When it was about time to leave office, she received a call from an unknown number.

She was puzzled but answered it anyway.

"Hello?"

"Annabelle, it's me!"

The distinctly familiar voice from the phone made Annabelle sprung up from her seat.

"Brother!?"

"Yes," Ralphy Xia said, "Annabelle, are you back?"

Annabelle was surprised by his sudden call but even more surprised with his forthright question.

"How did you know!?" Annabelle questioned in return, her face became very perturbed.

"So it's true... Why didn't you come home?!" Ralphy asked sternly.

"..."

"Where are you now? I'll come over."

"I am getting off work..."

"I'll pick you up. Where are you working?"

Annabelle did not dare to let him know where she was working. She quickly interjected, "No need. Let us meet at the usual place."

"And brother, don't let dad and mum know!"

There was a momentary pause over the phone until Ralphy finally replied, "Alright, I won't."

Ended the call, Annabelle quickly tidied her stuff and rushed off her office.

When she reached their usual place, Ralphy was already there.

He was properly suited up and was sitting inside. And occasionally there were girls passing by that threw him shy looks.

"Brother!" Annabelle called out to him as she entered.

Ralphy raised his eyes in confusion, and then disbelief.

Annabelle helped herself in the seat opposite him, she chuckled at his reaction and teased him, "My dear brother, can't you recognize me?" Her familiar voice finally gave him confirmation.

"Annabelle, you look different!"

"Hahaha, how so?"

Annabelle's bright smile painted a ray of sunshine all over the place, even Ralphy was dazzled.

"You have become a gorgeous beauty!" Ralphy complimented truthfully.

His feedback gave Annabelle a smile of bliss.

Shortly after she reached, a waiter approached their table and asked, "May I take your orders?"

"One Mocha, one Jamaican Blue Mountain, Thank you.

Even before Annabelle said anything, Ralphy had got her orders right.

"Brother you remember my favourite!" Annabelle laughed joyously.

"Of course, I remember everything you like!"
