My Killing President
Chapter 55 Overtime

"Miss Xia, is your career, your future more important or your date?" He firmed his tone, "be reminded that you are not only representing yourself, but the whole Yun Rui, I hope you treat it seriously!" Annabelle felt like words were choking in her throat.

She had been professional, and had separated work time and private time prudently. And now through her boss's lips it sounded otherwise.

Furthermore, she wasn't even informed of the overtime!

What more can she say? A good employee is always wrong...

"Alright, I will stay back later." Annabelle said reluctantly with a faint frown.

"Ok, that's good, you may go back to work now."

Annabelle nodded and went out. She was too absorbed in musing her design and failed to notice Mu's mischievous grin...

As she returned to her desk, she drew out her phone and called her brother.

"Hey Annabelle!"

"Sorry bro, I can't make it tonight!" Annabelle purred coyly.

"Why?"

"Have to stay back in office, OT!"

There was a slight pause over the phone, and Ralphy chortled, "No problem! Just focus on your work for now, we can go anytime when you're free!"

"Yep alright!" She babbled, "Talk to you soon! Bye!"

"Bye!"

As soon as Annabelle dropped the call, Mu's secretary walked up to her, "Miss Xia, these are the materials from Mu." And she unloaded a thick deck of magazines on her table. "Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome!"

Annabelle picked up the one on top and had a quick glance. Immediately her eyes widened in amazement.

These are the limited issues of luxurious magazines! They are so rare and recherché that Annabelle had come by only a few times during her time abroad. It was baffling that Mu had a collection of the complete edition here! Annabelle was absolutely mind-blown!

She brought a few to the lounge and leaped on the couch to read like nobody's business.

Annabelle loved genres like this and definitely the magazines she held were best of the best. She completely lost herself in her own bliss and time fled. Everyone else had left the company and she was all alone in the lounge, still enjoying her sweet time.

When it was late and Mu finally finished his work and readied to leave, he noticed the lights were still on. As he approached, he saw Annabelle was curling comfortably like a cat on the sofa, she was completely absorbed in the magazines and she flipped the pages so tenderly as if it was a delicate artefact.

So she didn't went for her date, good girl!

Mu smirked heartily and his legs brought him forward.

"How was it? Good?"

Annabelle sprung as if she'd seen a ghost. She was so absorbed that she didn't even notice Mu was just sitting closely next to her.

"Are you a ghost? I didn't even hear your footsteps!" Annabelle growled. She was startled for good and pissed at being interrupted. Annabelle pouted her lips and fumed her nose exaggeratedly, like an angry tomato, but it was just adorable in Mu's eyes.

"It's on you. You were so absorbed that you didn't realize anything at all."

Annabelle ignored him and continued to browse her magazine.

"Not too shabby right?" Mu asked with a conceited eyebrow raise.

"Yeah!" She nodded excitedly.

"These are all limited edition, not just anyone can put their claws on it!" He continued to prattle.

Annabelle turned her face to Mu and smiled genuinely, "Wow, thanks a million Mr. Mu!"

And it was as if the whole world was smiling together at him...☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
