My Killing President
Chapter 40 Coincidence

They are sitting face to face. And the moment Ralphy saw Mu, he too, was stupefied.

He instinctively glanced to the side at Annabelle. Upon recalling her words, he composed himself and stepped up, slightly shielding Annabelle behind.

"Mr. Mu, good to see you! What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Of course it is for food," Mu replied humourlessly, and his eyes widened in 'surprise' when shifted his gaze at Annabelle, "Miss Xia you are here too, what a coincidence!"

Coincidence?!

Yoi's body tensed in disbelief and stare tightly at Mu. Colours quickly drained from her face.

She had never seen Alistair like this before!

It was all because of this woman! Ever since she appeared, Mu has changed!

As Mu greeted her, Annabelle had no choice but to step forward. She squeezed a smile from her face and greeted, "Hi Mr. Mu, what a coincidence!"

City A was such an immensely huge city but why does he appear just about EVERYWHERE?

Does he like sushi too? Or perhaps it is Yoi's preference?

Annabelle thought to herself and suppressed an eye-roll.

Mu ping-ponged his glance between the two suggestively and asked, "I didn't know the two of you know each other so well!"

Yoi could no longer hold back too and she interrupted, "Mr. Xia, are you two dating? You look purrfect together!"

Her voice broke the silence like a chirruping nightingale. Alistair kept quiet and smile humourlessly waiting for their respond. He was eager to know too.

Annabelle caught a hint of animosity in Yoi's eyes whenever she looked at her.

Just when she was about to respond, Ralphy grabbed her in by the waist and said, "Is that so? Haha, thanks for the kind compliment."

Annabelle reserved her action and stood meekly beside Ralphy.

Mu's eyebrows loured faintly, almost unnoticeable.

At the same time, Yoi let out a breath she had been holding. She was relieved to replace out that they were dating. She put her arm around Mu's, "Let's not interrupt their sweet time. I am hungry, let's eat!" She moaned.

Alistair turned his head to her and nodded unwillingly.

"Then let us excuse ourselves!"

Yoi gripped tightly around Mu's arm and glowered resentfully at Annabelle.

But right before they stepped away, a blind impulse came to Mu and he turned to Ralphy and asked, "By the way Mr. Xia, how is your sister?"

His question resounded like a gong. Annabelle's mind went blank and she could only hear ringing in her ears.

Her heart palpitated rapidly, but she mustered all her strength to appear unmoved. She can feel Mu's gaze scanning on both her brother and herself.

Ralphy however, was calm as sea and replied, "All good. Thanks for asking!"

hmm...

"Glad to know. See you then, brother in law"

As Mu turned back and leave, his eyes sparkled in a mystifying satisfaction...
