Chapter 612 Refuse
"I will support you no matter what you do. But I hope that you can consider it properly!" Annabelle
looked at him and said.
As Alistair heard that gentle and caring voice from behind, he turned around and looked at Annabelle. It
was as if he saw the first ray of sunlight and the warmth traveled right to his heart.
His lips curled up and he hugged Annabelle, "I was angry. But not to the point of losing my rationality.
Don’t worry, I am fine!"
When Annabelle heard that, she was restful and she nodded, "That’s better, that’s more like the man I
know!"
Alistair raised an eyebrow, "Oh? The man you know? What is he like?"
Annabelle mimicked him and raised an eyebrow, "Take a guess?"
"I really want to know what kind of person I am in your mind!" Alistair looked at her and asked. The man
had never considered about that problem in the past. Now that they mentioned it, he had a sudden
urge to know what Annabelle was thinking.
Annabelle pondered for a while and looked at Alistair, "I can’t really describe it. But I know no matter
where or when, or what kind of mood you are in, you would be able to come up with a wise decision!"
Alistair’s lips curled up, "Are you praising me?"
"I also know that you know the right person the moment you met them!"
Alistair was stunned as he looked at Annabelle.
Annabelle raised her chin and chuckled, "Was I right?"
Alistair looked at the woman lovingly. Although she didn’t say much, he knew what she wanted to
convey. The man had never claimed himself to be a good man. However, he did know one thing, that
Annabelle was right about him.
The moment he met the right person, he would give everything of him.
He looked at her and smiled, "You are completely right. I think I have fallen completely into your trap!"
When Annabelle looked at him, she smiled and stretched out her hand to hug him. The woman felt his
strong beating heart, as if it was beating just for her.
Now even if Alistair were to stop acquiring the Han Group, the company was already paralyzed. More
than that, if he were to stop doing that, the Hans Group might even beg him to acquire them.
Otherwise, they might face bankruptcy.
The Hans Group was in a crisis but Alistair simply ignored it and pretended nothing happened. He even
gave instructions to stop picking up all calls from Han Group.
In the afternoon, there was a rare sight in the company.
The company would always have gossips whenever someone new appeared. Moreover, that stranger
went directly to Alistair’s office. It was just rousing suspicion.
The design department was gossiping about.
When Annabelle came out from Alistair’s office earlier, the company went back to normal. They were
no longer nervous and started to gossip again.
"Annabelle, have you heard it?"
"What?"
"The woman went inside president Mu’s office. And she dressed up well. Everyone could tell in one
look that she had done an effortful make up!" Covi said.
When Annabelle heard that, she raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "Really?"
Covi nodded hurriedly. But when she saw that Annabelle showed no sign of nervousness, she couldn’t
help but said, "Annabelle, you are too relaxed. Aren’t you worried at all?!"
Annabelle smiled, "Why should I worry? It is only normal for a lady to dress up to meet others.
Moreover, she wasn’t meeting an ordinary man!"
"Annabelle, you are really the most relaxed girlfriend I know!" Covi couldn’t help but exclaimed.
Annabelle chuckled, "This is called confidence!"
"Okay, okay, forget I said that!"
As Annabelle looked at Covi’s expression, she chuckled."
Forget about the person’s identity, even if Alistair wanted to cheat on her, he wouldn’t have chosen a
place like the company. Alistair was a sly man, if he really wanted to do something, he wouldn’t give
others a chance to catch him!
Annabelle didn’t think much and went to the pantry for a cup of coffee. She was completely NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
unbothered.
Inside Alistair’s office.
Esther Ji walked inside Alistair’s office. She was wearing a yellow one-piece dress and three inches
high heels. The woman made the effort to doll up herself. It wasn’t hard to notice that she had paid
extra attention on her appearance for this meeting.
After she walked inside and saw the man back facing her, her eyes lit up.
Although it was just a back view, the masculinity and aura of nobility from the man charmed her.
She had seen the man before from a distance. But today, he was standing right in front of her.
She walked forward and greeted him in some distance, "President Mu!"
When Alistair heard that, he averted his gaze and looked back. The moment he saw the woman, his
eyebrows lowered faintly.
"Were you the one that made the call?" He asked in a deep voice.
Esther Ji stood there and straightened her back. She tried her best not to look so nervous and nodded,
"It’s me!"
"Are you sure you saw it personally?" Alistair examined her carefully and his tone carried doubts.
Esther Ji nodded, "Yes. At that time, I just came out from another ward and I happened to saw Miss
Han walking inside. After that, the grandmother followed behind. At that time, I didn’t know that she was
the daughter of the Hans Group. When I saw the grandmother walking inside, I wanted to call out to
her. But the moment I walked over, I saw the grandmother falling down the stairs…" Esther Ji described
the situation but she seemed to be nervous.
She didn’t know if it was because of Alistair’s gaze or something else.
She had made sure to practice it hundreds of times at home. But she was still getting nervous right
now.
Alistair sat down with a tensed face. His eyes were fixed right on her, "Why didn’t you say anything
back then? Why did you wait until now?"
"Because… After that, I learnt that she was the daughter of the Hans Group and I didn’t dare to run my
mouth. She threatened me that if I dare to say anything, she will not let me off. I didn’t want to lose my
job so I said nothing…"
"I know I am selfish and I was guilt ridden. I am very sad to see the old woman lying there every day.
When I saw the news yesterday that she got caught, I mustered my courage to speak the truth…"
Esther Ji stood there and acted piteously. As if she was also a victim to the incident.
Alistair continued to stare at her. After that, he said slowly, "Tell me what happened clearly. Everything
you saw or heard that day. Start it from the very beginning…"
Esther Ji stayed in Alistair’s office for the entire afternoon.
When it was almost time to leave work, Annabelle went upstairs to look for Alistair. Jack was still
waiting outside the door. The moment he saw Annabelle, he walked forward right away.
"Miss Xia!"
Annabelle smiled, "Still haven’t left the office?"
"My boss is still here, how dare I leave?"
"I am hearing quite the complaint here!"
"No, not at all…" Jack hurriedly denied with a smile.
Annabelle smiled back. Right after she wanted to go in, Jack said, "Miss Xia…"
Annabelle turned her head back, "What’s wrong?"
"Actually… President Mu was busy inside. It’s not like what you think…" Jack said.
Annabelle frowned, "You sounded as if you are covering up for him. What are you trying to say?"
"No no no, not at all! President Mu was interrogating someone inside, nothing else!" Jack hurriedly
said. If his boss were to know that he said that, the assistant would be in trouble.
Annabelle looked at the office door and raised an eyebrow, "She still haven’t left?"
As Jack looked at Annabelle’s eyes, he shook his head.
In the office.
Alistair took out a cheque, "This is for you!"
When Esther Ji saw the cheque before her, she frowned, "President Mu, what is this supposed to
mean…?"
"This is what you deserve!"
"No, I can’t accept it!" Esther Ji stepped backwards.
"I didn’t have the courage to tell the truth and your grandmother is still lying in bed. I feel very
burdened. I cannot accept your money. Moreover, I told you that not because of money!" Esther Ji said
determinedly.
Alistair frowned, "I have known the truth now and I do not want to owe others. You don’t have to
overthink!"
"I can’t take it!" Esther Ji refused and looked at Alistair. After contemplating for a while, she looked at
Alistair and said, "President Mu, if you really want to compensate me, then can you give me a job?"
Alistair frowned deeply.
"Because of this, I lost my job. Miss Han had given her orders and no other hospitals will take me."
Esther Ji spoke piteously.
Since she said that, Alistair did not force her to accept the cheque. He pondered for a while and said, "I
will contact the hospital and ask them to find you a reasonable position!"
"Actually, nursing wasn’t my major. I am interested in design!" She said.
Alistair was about to sit down and he paused. After that, he looked at Esther Ji in surprise.
She looked at Alistair and chortled, "Actually, I like design very much and I have studied about it in the
past. I do have some experiences and achievements in this field. But due to my family’s situation I had
no choice but to work in the hospital…" She said.
Alistair sat down and listened to her. After that, the man nodded, "I understand now."
Esther Ji stood there and looked at Alistair.
At that time, the man dialed his desk phone. Jack was chatting with Annabelle outside and the moment
his phone rang, he answered it immediately.
"Hello…"
"Do we have any empty positions in the company?"
"Sir, which department do you ‘need’?"
"Design department!"
Jack understood right away and he said, "Oh, we still need a designer!"
They needed a designer? That wasn’t the case at all. But Jack knew what his boss needed.
"Okay, I understand!"
"Sir, Miss Xia is still outside…" At that time, Jack delivered his message.
Alistair was stunned, "Got it!"
After a simple conversation, he hung up. After that, Alistair looked at Esther Ji and said, "We happened
to have an open position in the design department, if you are interested, you can come and work
tomorrow!"
"Really? Can I really do that!?" Esther Ji asked in surprise.
Alistair nodded.
"President Mu, thank you so much! Please rest assured, I will make sure to do my best!" Esther Ji said
smilingly. She looked at Alistair and her eyes were filled with a different emotion.
