My Killing President

Chapter 51 Peek

There are certain times when you can’t avoid the inevitable and such is the time for Mu and Annabelle.

The SRD organized a jewellery exhibition and all candidates are required to join in and thus, they had

to go together.

Ever since that day, they had mutually steered clear from each other and now it was just downright

awkward to be in the same car.

Initially Annabelle intended to get a cab, but when she saw the thunder on his face, she swallowed her

words and followed obediently behind. She was willingly to compromise as long as it meant saying one

less word to Mu.

Annabelle nimble-footedly moved into the backseat and shut the door immediately. While Mu sat in the

front driving, just like a chauffeur escorting his young lady…

Annabelle didn’t care about that and all she did was countdown the time needed to reach the

exhibition.

Mu too, sealed his lips the entire journey.

There were only the quiet, monotonous sound of gust from the air-conditioner and sound of them

breathing.

Annabelle was glad that Mu did not try to strike a conversation. She stared aimlessly outside the

window, slowly letting her thoughts wandered.

Her tranquillity allured Mu. He had been staring at Annabelle unconsciously through the rear mirror.

On the spur of the moment, Annabelle shifted her gaze to the front and their eyes met and held.

It was a rather peculiar feeling and all of a sudden the mood changed. They shifted their gaze

simultaneously and as if it helped to keep away from each other, they looked as far as possible in

opposite directions…

Annabelle could feel her heartbeat increasing slightly. She was always anxious that Mu might just

suddenly recognize her.

Mu however, did not seem to be too bothered.

The car engine continued to roar and the two remained tongue-tied.

About 20 minutes later, they reached the exhibition hall. First thing that impressed them greatly was the

security policies and measures, they were on par with international level due to the A-class exhibition

goods!

After authenticating their invitation pass and undergoing security check-up, the two were led into the

hall. At first glance Annabelle could already name a few reputable socialites and even politicians. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“This is a rare opportunity for you. Try to sponge up as much as possible and don’t embarrass Yun

Rui!” Mu bossed.

Seriously, his words can always find ways to get on others’ nerves… Annabelle loured her eyebrows

faintly but nodded in acknowledgement. Well, the golden rule of work is the boss is always right.

The two moseyed around side by side, appreciating and admiring the exhibition goods. There were

some that was striking and gorgeous; and some that lack sophistication. For the first half and hour,

Annabelle did not find anything that impressed her, or even roused her interest, until she came by a

unique necklace…

The design was an intriguing and tantalizing, simple yet elegant with a mesmerising oval-shaped

sapphire. Annabelle stood rooted in front of the piece of art and she just couldn’t avert her eyes. Mu

noticed and followed her gaze.

“You like it?” His eyes flickered with awe too.

“Don’t you think this design is very, umm… unusual?”

“How so?”

“Take a look here. The pendant, I feel that it represents someone’s tear…”

Mu squinted his eyes in a serious demeanour. The oval-shaped sapphire did look tear-drop like.

Furthermore, there is something intriguing about the ocean blue and the gem’s definition.

“I think so too!”

“I think this necklace must have a deeper, hidden meaning behind!” Annabelle articulated in

confidence.
