Before Covi was finished, Annabelle said, âAlright now, letâs hurry and work. Didnât you say this is red alert? And yet you dare to lose focus!â
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 couldnât describe that feeling.
But as she recalled what Alistair said, she didnât 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 the companyâs canteen. And Covi was back to her usual self.
âHow rare it is for president Mu to come back without a temper!â Covi exclaimed.
Annabelle was eating. When she heard Covi, she couldnât help but laughed, âWhy should he throw a temper?â
âPreviously, 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 didnât!â 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, âIsnât it good that he didnât show his temper now?â
âIt is, but it feels weird!â 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, âAnnabelle, did you notice that Yoi is absent today?â
Annabelle nodded, âYeah!â
With Yoi not around, Annabelle wouldnât feel that sharp, piercing malicious gaze in her office. Of course she would notice it.
âThis is just weird. Logically speaking, if president Mu were to come back today, Yoi would be excited to be in office as well. But she didnât come today! I think there must be a special reason!â Covi said and the woman looked like a detective making an inference.
Annabelle looked at the woman and couldnât help but giggled.
When Covi heard Annabelleâs giggle, she turned over to her, âWhat are you laughing about?â
âYou have improved your ranks!â
âHuh?â
âYou are no longer a gossiper. You have outclassed it. Now you are a love detective!â
When Covi heard that, she knew that Annabelle was making fun of her, âI am serious!â
âI know you are serious. But it makes no difference. Hurry and eat, we still have to work later!â Annabelle said.
Covi stared at Annabelle for a while. All of a sudden, she blinked her eyes and got closer to her, âAnnabelle, do you know any inside news?â
âWhat?â
âYou, President Mu and Yoi arenât acting like normal. Did anything happen?â Covi asked like a curious school girl.
Annabelle raised an eyebrow and asked back, âWhat do you think happened?â
âI donât know and thatâs why Iâm asking you!â
âIf anything were to happen, will I continue to work here?â Annabelle asked again.
â......â
âSo, nothing happened and you should eat faster!â Annabelle said.
When Covi saw that Annabelle had no interest to speak, she didnât force the woman but she believed in her intuition. She was positive that something must have happened.

But according to Coviâs several years of experience reading romantic novels, that was undoubtedly an aftermath of a quarrel!
