Chapter 299 Farce 5
“Hmm… Umm… Actually, I don’t think there’s a need to organize a press conference. The crowd will be
forgetting this in some time!” Grandma Mu said.
“But now there are just so many reporters flooding at the company entrance. The workers can’t even
get to and back from work. It had become a troublesome problem already!”
“Just take the special passage, or let Alistair drive you back!” The old woman said.
“It is already bad enough with the misunderstanding. What if others saw us? It would just stir the
problem further!” Annabelle said.
Now she was just cranking her brain to think of an explanation for the busybodies in her department.
The old woman chuckled, “How could they see the two of you in the car. Didn’t you two sat in the car
earlier today? And the reporters were staring outside and they couldn’t do anything, no?”
“……”
“The reporters are always like that. If they couldn’t get anything new in a day or two, they would be
giving up!” The old woman said.
“……”
“Alright now, I’m getting tired and sleepy. I think I have something coming up and I should leave now. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
You two should go ahead with your things!” Grandma Mu said.
“Grandma…”
“Oh dear, I hadn't been resting in the noon and I’m starting to feel tired. Roline, let’s go back to take an
afternoon nap!” The old woman said as she walked to the door.
Annabelle and Alistair, “……”
Alistair stared at his grandmother’s back view and squinted. There seemed to be a flickering in his eyes
for some time. The men thought about it carefully and his eyes lit up and his lips curled up mirthfully…
Annabelle looked at the moment and she felt an intuition but she just couldn’t grasp what it was.
After the two women left, Annabelle turned her head back and met with Alistair deep gaze. The woman
then asked, “Don’t you think everything that happened is a little weird?”
Alistair answered uncaringly, “Which part of it?”
“Grandma’s reaction!”
“How so?”
“It seemed that she doesn’t want us to organize a press conference!” Annabelle said.
Alistair raised an eyebrow and said, “Really? Maybe she is getting old and doesn’t want to cause so
much trouble!”
Annabelle frowned as she stood there thinking. The more she pondered about that the more she felt
that something wasn’t right, “Say, why would there be such a coincidence that someone camped
outside your house that late in the night? And they managed to steal so many shots on us!” Annabelle
asked.
Alistair must admit that Annabelle was a sharp and smart woman.
“What if they had known that grandma is coming back and they purposely camped over there? It was
just a surprise that you appeared!” Alistair said.
That was a convincing hypothesis.
But Annabelle still couldn’t shake of her hunch.
She couldn’t help but think that something was off.
At that time, Alistair looked at her and said, “Alright now, you should go back to work if there’s nothing
else. I need to work too!”
After hearing the man, Annabelle stared at him for a moment. She said no more and walked out his
office.
As expected, after the earlier episode, those that wanted to deride Annabelle shut their mouth.
The atmosphere in the design department was just weird.
Nobody dared to ask Annabelle her relationship with the Mu family. However, they did mention that the
old woman had shown Annabelle a special favor.
Annabelle simply answered them saying she likes the old woman too.
And after that some of them asked, “Is the old woman treating you like her granddaughter in law?”
Annabelle said, “Even if I’m not her granddaughter in law, we are just as close!”
It was nothing but pure mutual adoration!
They enjoyed each other’s company!
Annabelle had gotten the old woman’s favor.
Those that liked Annabelle was happy for her and those that didn’t, had no choice but to shut their
mouth. They were afraid to say anything to offend Annabelle now. lightnoveldaily.com.
