Chapter 147 Mysterious 1
Annabelle zipped her lips. Alistair glared at her furiously, and then he started the car and they departed
to the party.
Throughout the journey, the two of them did not talk anymore. Annabelle simply looked outside the
window and avoided talking to Alistair. She wanted to avoid enraging Alistair further should she said
anything mistakenly.
When they reached the destination, Alistair and Annabelle got down the car simultaneously.
When they reached the entrance to the hall, Alistair stood there and extended an arm.
Annabelle was taken aback and she looked at Alistair in confusion.
"What now? Do you want them to see as entering separately?!" Alistair raised his eyebrows and asked
Annabelle.
Therefore, Annabelle had no other choice but to stretch out her arms and wrapped around Alistair's
arm.
That was an odd feeling.
Being married with Alistair for a year, they had never attended any event like this. But now, the two of
them appeared publicly hand in hand.
Annabelle even felt it was a little comic.
But she and said nothing and the two walked inside.
Both of them were good in carrying then themselves. They could put up a socialite mask before the
crowd.
The moment they stepped inside, both of them hung a courteous smile on their faces.
The man was handsome and the girl was gorgeous. Right after they appeared, the couple got
everyone's attention.
Alistair had frequently attended social events with different women. And ever since Yoi, Alistair seldom
appear with another woman. Therefore, when the crowd saw Annabelle, their gazes were attracted.
Especially when they saw how beautiful Annabelle was.
Many were speculating if Annabelle belonged to any esteemed family or if she was a celebrity. But All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
those that gossiped in private shook their head tacitly.
They had never seen the woman before.
By that time, someone said, "that's right, few days ago Alistair had made public clarification about the
rumor he wanted to buy in the Xia group. Wasn't that the woman that stood by his side then?"
Once the man called out, the others agreed to him, "I think so too!"
"Could she be working in Alistair's company?"
"Secretary?"
"This young man just wouldn't let anyone slip by! Not even those from his own company!" At that time,
those competitors of Alistair sneered at him.
"Such was his nature, why the surprise?"
"Hmph…"
At that time, the couple was hearing all kinds of gossiping. Annabelle held Alistair's arm and she could
tell from the crowd gazes that they had misunderstood their relationship.
But what could she say? All she did was maintaining a courteous smile on her face.
Alistair didn't mind at all. Should he be so easily troubled by others' opinion, he wouldn't be able to rise
to this height today.
The man was carrying himself in confidence and assertiveness.
Both he and Annabelle walked directly towards Alexis, who was then socializing with her guests.
"Alexis!" Alistair approached her and greeted her cheerfully.
Alexis was chatting with other people. But the moment she saw them coming, she simply excused
herself from the conversation and the men left.
Alistair and Annabelle walked a step closer and greeted her smilingly.
"You two are finally here!" The moment Alexis saw them, smile blossomed on her face. And then her
gaze was fixed on Annabelle.
"Miss Xia, we meet again!"
Annabelle smiled, "yes, thank you for inviting us. May you have a safe trip"!
"Thanks!" Alexis had a good impression and she appreciated Annabelle very much for her wisdom and
courage.
"President Mu had already surrendered your resume to me. How about it? Are you interested in joining
my designer team?" Alexis did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
