My Killing President

Chapter 33 Opportunity

I am resigning, why do I have to come on time!?

She rolled her eyes at her own denseness, and marched confidently into the office.

As soon as she entered DoD, she was caught in a surprise.

*POP POP*

And all she could see was fluttering confetti.

A crowd gathered to cheer and applaud festive style.

Annabelle dazed momentarily and then asked awkwardly, “Anything happening here?”

Covi came up and held her hand, “Annabelle, we heard that you have secured the contract with Yuan

Shin Group!” She was so gleeful and Annabelle can feel her genuine joy for her success. Annabelle

looked around and she saw that everyone in DoD were there to give her this surprise celebration.

“Many have tried but failed. And Annabelle, you who just came managed to slay the dragon, we are so

proud of you!” Covi cheered.

Annabelle felt warm-hearted. She had equipped and braced herself for office politics, toxic working

environments and worse… and now she found her current workplace really pleasant. More than what

she hoped for.

Regrettably, she just couldn’t stay…

Annabelle bowed her head gently and returned everyone’s goodwill with a bright smile.

“I was just lucky!” She crooned, unsure whether her colleagues caught wind of what happened or not.

Frankly speaking, it was truly lucky that she got the contract. And Mu’s appearance after that was

climacteric. It sent shivers down her spine just imagining what can happen otherwise.

“Congratulations Annabelle!” Covi wrapped her arms enthusiastically around her shoulder.

“Congratulations…? For what?” Annabelle was thrown in confusion again. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Don’t you know? Mr. Mu announced that whoever got the Yuan Shi contract can take part in the Shi

Rui Design Competition in Italy!

Annabelle’s eyes widened in astonishment. She had heard of the Shin Rui Design Competition before.

They were the pioneer and world-class level in this field. If your showcase were able to win the

accolade, there would be extensive publicity and they were considered one of the most high-return

advertising one might run!

Did Alistair really said that? Annabelle was tempted.

“Annabelle, you are so lucky! You are fresh in this line and already managed to secure one spot! As far

as we know there were only two candidates allocated here. More than that, you can also be the chief

designer in the Yuan Shi contractual work!” Covi spoke with stars twinkling from her eyes.

“Well, we don’t know about that…” Annabelle smiled bitterly, thinking of what happened.

“Mr. Mu gave his words, it’s definitely yours!”

Annabelle was clueless for the entire while, perhaps Mu really did say so before she joined the

company.

Meantime, someone called her from the back, “Annabelle, Mr. Mu asked for you in his office!”

Annabelle nodded to acknowledge and stood up. Before leaving for Mu’s office, she cleared her throat

and effused, “Thank you all for encouraging and accepting me! I am lucky to work here with everyone! I

have to go now but after I am back from the office let’s have high tea together, my treat!”

Her colleagues cheered it off, but they definitely heartfelt her genuine gratitude. Everyone loves a

humble and generous person. And Annabelle excused herself to the president’s office.

In Mu’s office.

The door opened and Annabelle stepped through. And as per usual, Mu was sitting on his Bond-villain

swivel chair, his coat on it. He was wearing a black tailored shirt that fitted tightly like a glove.

And he looked like a man who lifted heavy objects and put them down, and then done it again a few

million times.

“Have a seat.”

Annabelle averted her gaze and hesitantly sat in front of him.

Mu then withdrew a collection of documents and passed them to her.

“Take a look!”
