Chapter 386 Coax 2


    Before Covi was finished, Annabelle said, “Alright now, let’s hurry and work. Didn’t you say this is red


    alert? And yet you dare to lose focus!” Annabelle shooed her away.


    When Covi heard that, she nodded in agreement. She stopped asking questions and went back to


    work.


    Annabelle sat in her own seat and continued with work. But the moment she flipped her design work


    open, all she could think of was the scene when they met earlier…


    Covi was right, it felt so strange…


    She couldn’t describe that feeling.


    But as she recalled what Alistair said, she didn’t know how the two of them should get along in the


    future. It was best to let things be like this.


    Maintaining a safe distance.


    It would definitely be better to both him and her!


    As Annabelle thought about that, she dived back to work.


    When it was time for lunch, Annabelle and Covi went to thepany’s canteen. And Covi was back to


    her usual self.


    “How rare it is for president Mu toe back without a temper!” Covi eximed.


    Annabelle was eating. When she heard Covi, she couldn’t help butughed, “Why should he throw a


    temper?”


    “Previously, whenever you are not around, it was as if president Mu had anxiety and he would get


    angry all the time. But this time he didn’t!” Covi said.


    The woman specially mentioned that Alistair would do that whenever Annabelle was absent…


    When Annabelle heard her, she paused a little and went back to her food, “Isn’t it good that he didn’t


    show his temper now?”


    “It is, but it feels weird!” Covi said.


    Annabelle continued to eat her food and did not answer back.


    All of a sudden, Covi seemed to recall something and she moved closer to Annabelle and asked,


    “Annabelle, did you notice that Yoi is absent today?”


    Annabelle nodded, “Yeah!”


    With Yoi not around, Annabelle wouldn’t feel that sharp, piercing malicious gaze in her office. Of course


    she would notice it.


    “This is just weird. Logically speaking, if president Mu were toe back today, Yoi would be excited to


    be in office as well. But she didn’te today! I think there must be a special reason!” Covi said and


    the woman looked like a detective making an inference.


    Annabelle looked at the woman and couldn’t help but giggled.


    When Covi heard Annabelle’s giggle, she turned over to her, “What are youughing about?”


    “You have improved your ranks!”


    “Huh?”


    “You are no longer a gossiper. You have outssed it. Now you are a love detective!”


    When Covi heard that, she knew that Annabelle was making fun of her, “I am serious!”


    “I know you are serious. But it makes no difference. Hurry and eat, we still have to workter!”


    Annabelle said.


    Covi stared at Annabelle for a while. All of a sudden, she blinked her eyes and got closer to her,


    “Annabelle, do you know any inside news?”


    “What?”


    “You, President Mu and Yoi aren’t acting like normal. Did anything happen?” Covi asked like a curious


    school girl.


    Annabelle raised an eyebrow and asked back, “What do you think happened?”


    “I don’t know and that’s why I’m asking you!”

    “If anything were to happen, will I continue to work here?” Annabelle asked again.


    “……”


    “So, nothing happened and you should eat faster!” Annabelle said.


    When Covi saw that Annabelle had no interest to speak, she didn’t force the woman but she believed in


    her intuition. She was positive that something must have happened.


    Just that earlier example when Annabelle met with Alistair in the office, the other colleagues would’ve


    thought they were trying to keep a distance to avoid rumors. But ording to Covi’s several years of


    experience reading romantic novels, that was undoubtedly an aftermath of a quarrel!
