My Killing President

Chapter 17 Scheme

“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. She was too caught up to resign and neglected

this crucial factor!

“Miss Xia, do you already have a decision?” Mu asked guilefully.

Annabelle stood helplessly in shock, her lips tightly pursed together. She was carefully thinking it

through and balancing the pros and cons.

“I accept the penalty.” Annabelle spoke and her eyes still gleamed with hope and beautiful serenity.

Her response alarmed Mu!

He cocked his eyebrows in scepticism and with disbelief he applauded, “Twice the amount of contract

breaching, Miss Xia you’ve wowed me with your wealth!”

“I believe the liquidated damages are still affordable.” Annabelle smiled humourlessly, while on the

inside she was crazily cursing. Goodbye to all her savings all these years!

“Ok, if that’s the case then I shall bother you no more. Two million dollars. And I will approve your

resignation once the amount is received.”

I beg your pardon?

WHAT TWO MILLION DOLLARS?!

Annabelle gasped with stupefaction, she difficultly gathered her breath and asked, “Two… two million

dollars?”

“Yes. Have you not reviewed the contract carefully before you signed? And I was kind enough to omit

the losses you’ve caused Yun Rui.” Mu now replied with a jolly tone.

Annabelle plodded hesitantly to his desk and took a good look at the contract.

Dear Lord! It’s true!

Those black and white had utterly crushed all her lingering optimism. After conversion, she had only

managed to save up close to a million, where to get the other half?

Annabelle was left dumbfounded and her brain went into a hiatus.

“Yes Miss Xia? Aren’t you aware of these terms and conditions?” Mu asked pretentiously.

Annabelle expression blanked in silence. She signed off hastily because she was too eager to work for

Yun Rui. It had never crossed her mind that it will boil down to this. And what else can be more

shockingly unexpected than the fact that Alistair was the president of Yun Rui!

Her misery made Mu feel victorious and poised. He smiled cheekily and patiently waited for her

response.

It felt like forever, until Annabelle finally mustered up her determination and said, “Give me some

time…”

“Miss Xia, I am a very, very busy man.”

“It won’t be too long!”

“Alright. Since I am also compassionate, I shall give you a two-days grace period. After that, if you are

still unable to come up with the money, then I will have to apologise here in advance.”

Two days?!

Annabelle’s massaged her knitted eyebrow trying to release some tension. Mu was definitely trying to Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

mess with her!

“Mr. Mu, with all due respect, how is it possible to come up with two million dollars in two days!?”

“Well, I’m afraid that is of your concern.”

“……”

This bastard!

Even when she pouted angrily she has her unique charm, Mu thought. “Miss Xia, why not you just

resume your work here? Doesn’t that solve all the problems?” Mu suggested, with a vicious grin on his

face.

Hearing that, Annabelle also smiled mirthlessly, “Mr. Mu, Yun Rui is such an esteemed company. Why

bother with someone like me? Unless… You have an unspeakable agenda towards me!”

Annabelle’s bold response and unfaltering gaze stunned Mu.

His eyebrow lowered into a slight frown.

Is this woman challenging me?
