The Most Loving Marriage: Don't Be Too Bad, Mr President

Chapter 16 Trouble

Annabelle bowed and smiled back politely, she then braced herself and trudged towards his office.

Mu was sitting on his desk, working on dozens of documents lying in front of him. He was wearing a

black fitting top, and Annabelle was unknowingly mesmerized by watching him work with complete

focus yet unself-conscious. He had such an authoritative posture and a confident disposition when he

was bustling around and penning. It was at that moment even Annabelle was captivated, no wonder so Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

many girls had fallen helplessly for him!

He finally signed off a piece of paper, and raised his attention towards Annabelle, who was standing by

the door.

“Are you resigning?” he asked.

“Yes.” Annabelle replied straight-forwardly.

“Tell me why.”

Annabelle’s eyebrow drew together.

Are you seriously asking for a reason? I can give you a list!

That ill-fated encounter in the office. And shortly after, the upsetting experience in the diner. Has he

forgotten about all that?

Why does he look completely unbothered, does he not care at all?

It was rumoured that previously when he was in LK, an old-time employee unintentionally said

something that displeased him, and then said employee was mercilessly fired, despite serving loyally

for decades!

Now Annabelle was baffled. But if Mu decided to ignore those upsetting events, she was more than

happy to oblige.

“It was due to personal reasons.” She said slowly.

“Personal reasons?” Annabelle could almost hear Mu’s lifted eyebrow. “Miss Xia, do you think working

in Yun Rui is child’s play? And you dare provide such lame excuse to resign?!”

Annabelle eyebrows loured into a frown. However, she remained composed and replied, “It’s

regrettable and I’m sorry.”

“You’re sorry and that’s it? How irresponsible! Then who will bear the company’s losses?” Mu asked

sternly.

Company’s losses?

Annabelle frowned even deeper. She met his eye with a firm gaze, “Mr.

Mu, I don’t understand what you mean.”

“What I mean?” Mr. Mu made a sardonic scoff, “Yun Rui invested in extensive procedures and

voluminous work to absorb new blood. You have occupied that very limited spot and resources. Now

after just ONE DAY and you are resigning? Are you messing with us?”

Isn’t that too forceful of an argument? Annabelle thought to herself.

Or perhaps is he trying to create trouble for me?

Whenever Yun Rui offered a vacancy, there will be innumerable influx of application.

Annabelle was not disconcerted. She gave her trademark botox smile and replied, “Mr. Mu must be

joking. A promising company like Yun Rui can definitely get much superior employees. As for me, it is

regrettable but I have personal matters that I must attend to.”

“Personal matters? As far as I know, Miss Xia you were back very recently. How can there be matters

of such urgency?”

“Well, this is a private matter.”

“Are you sure this isn’t just a lame excuse?”

Annabelle was irked.

Is he sharp or is he just being unreasonable? Why am I feeling it so much in my gut that he is doing

this on purpose!

“Mr. Mu, with all due respect, that does not have anything to do with my resignation.” Annabelle had no

intention of backing down.

Mu straightened his back readily, “Of course it does!” And he flipped and slid out a document in front of

him.

“Miss Xia, feel free to take a look. This is our employment contract, a period which shall not be less

than two years in the course of which the employee is bound to work in the employer’s service, should

the employee’s reason of dismissal is due to his/her personal reasons… then they will have to bear a

penalty!”

Annabelle’s eyes widen gradually in a slow realization… lightnoveldaily.com.
