My Killing President
Chapter 71 Overheard 4

Most people from DoD noticed that, but they practiced Robert Mankoff - If you have any problems, don't hesitate to shut up!

After experiencing it first hand, Covi just couldn't suppress the urge and blurted the question.

Annabelle chewed her food thoroughly and also combed her thoughts thoroughly. As she swallowed, she concluded in a straight face, "I think it's definitely because I am prettier!"

НАНАНА!

Covi burst into a giggle. Not only was she idolizing Annabelle's witty comebacks, now she was entertained by her jovial character.

Although that was undisputable, but the way Annabelle presented it was just comical.

Annabelle still maintained a comic and pestered, "Isn't it Isn't it?"

Covi nodded enthusiastically while shaking in laughter.

"Annabelle, I like you more and more now... HAHA!"

"Me too, because I am prettier than her~"

"Yeah!" Covi enjoyed her self-deprecating humour. It showed that she was confident and humble.

This interaction had drawn the two closer.

They spent the entire lunch time gossiping and went back to office together.

On the other side, Mu was having an opulent Western with Yoi.

Mu was quiet as mouse the entire time. Yoi sat opposite him and she felt that his mind was wandering off. They were so close yet so far.

"Alistair, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing," He answered mechanically, and for the first time today he looked up at her and initiated a conversation, "How come you suddenly thought about having lunch together?"

"It's because I've missed you soooo much! We always have lunch together few times a week no?"

Mu's eyebrow twitched. For the first time he felt spending time with Yoi was stodgy, even a little unbearably boring when she got all cheesy and lovey-dovey. Another person's face, smile was constantly blinking in his mind...

What is she eating?

What is she doing?

They had western together last time too. Although they hardly spoke, but it was stimulating and delightful! He felt like he just couldn't get enough of it...

Looking as how Mu's mind drifted away again during a conversation, Yoi felt even worrisome.

"Alistair!" She put down her cutleries and held both his hands.

"Do you not love me anymore?" She howled softly like a sad puppy and her eyes were misty.

Mu redirected his attentiveness to her and comforted gently, "How can that be? Don't overthink."

"But why do I feel that your heart and your mind are not with me?!" She spoke breathily, she had been experiencing this insecurity ever since Annabelle appeared and now it just got worse.

"Sorry to have neglected you, I was just too swamped with work. Don't think too much!"

Yoi fluttered her eyes piteously, "Really?"

Mu nodded.

As long as Mu affirmed her, then she will trust in him. In her opinion, a lie does not bother her, it just proved that the man still have feelings for her; If the man didn't even bother to lie, then it just meant the relationship had come to an end.

"Alright, let's eat. Don't overthink!" Mu withdrew his hands and patted on hers.

"Ok!" Yoi smiled back, and they continued with lunch.

After some time.

"By the way Alistair, had my dad briefed you about the collaboration between Hans group and Yunrui?"

"Yeah." He replied unenthusiastically.

"So what's your thought on that?"

Mu raised his head and his eyes flickered with alertness.

So this is the main dish today!00000000
