Chapter 85 Complicated 3
"Huh? Celebrate again?" Annabelle was baffled.
"Yup. That has been our norm for two years!" Covi explained.
Annabelle nodded with a smile and kept quiet. The crowd continued to gossip.
Sometime later, Mu entered the room, and he noticed Annabelle was in the centre of the crowd.
"Hi Mr. Mu!"
They greeted him like school kids greeting their teachers.
"Mm." He nodded unaffectionately.
Out of the blue, Covi's voice emitted from the crowd, "Mr. Mu, Annabelle won first prize, is there any special prize?!"
Mu was taken aback, he then announced, "Dinner party tomorrow night, everyone dress up formally!" After that, he left to his office without care.
The crowd was confused.
They asked about Annabelle's reward, but the president...
"To Victory!!!!" Annabelle yelled comically and everyone burst into laughter.
After having fun for a short while, the crowd dispersed.
Annabelle went back to her own seat. Thinking back on what happened today, she was still in disbelief. Nonetheless, she couldn't hide her joy after winning first prize of the SRD! It had always been an ambitious dream, but she did it!
Before diving back to work, she suddenly remembered that she needed to call her brother, thus she swiped through her phone and gave him a ring.
"Hey bro!" Annabelle called cheerfully.
"Back to office already?" Ralphy asked.
"Yeah!"
"Congratulations again! First place in SRD!" Her brother was genuinely proud of her.
"Haha thanks, actually I was quite surprised myself!"
"I've always believed in your capability. Let's celebrate tonight!"
"Of course!"
"Alright, then let's decide it at the usual place, I'll go pick you up?"
"No need~ I can get there myself."
"Alright!"
"By the way, remember to call Dorie, Last time I ditched the two of you, so tonight is my treat!" Annabelle Cheered.
There was a short pause over the phone until Ralphy responded, "Alright!"
"Ok, see you. Bye!"
"Bye!"
Annabelle put her phone down and was in a cheery mood.
When it was time to leave office, she clocked out and left.
By the time she reached, Dorie and Ralphy were already waiting for her. "Annabelle, over here!"
Annabelle could see a petite woman waving enthusiastically at her.
"Hey bro, Dorie, sorry I was a little late, quite the jam all the way here!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, but you still gotta pay though!" Dorie giggled.
"Haha no problem!", Annabelle sat herself down comfortably, "I'm in a good mood today, consider yourselves lucky!" "Whoa- look at that! That's our champion today!"
"Of course!" Annabelle's nose pointed up high. She could be at ease and be herself whenever she was with the two of them. "Cocky-" Dorie wrapped her arms around her and laughed, "And congratulations! Our Annabelle is the best!"
Annabelle hugged her back and the two young ladies clucked like hens.
Ralphy was entertained by the two big babies.
"By the way bro, have your ordered?"
"Yes yes- you dear brother had already ordered a list of your favorite dishes. How sweet!" Dorie crowed.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
