My Killing President

"But of course, the designer remains unchanged."

"Sure, no problem!" Mu smiled.

Alexis turned to Annabelle and asked, "How about Miss Xia? What's your thought on this?"

"Hmm... if Madam you really like it, I wish to give it to you as a gift and not in exchange of money!"

Annabelle's reply made the room pin-drop silent. Even Alexis was rendered speechless. After all, she had offered a very generous amount of money for this purchase. "Are you sure?"

"Of course!" Annabelle nodded cheerfully, "Although my inspiration was from the old mister, but the true drive of the design comes from you!"

Alexis furrowed her eyebrows.

"I knew that you happened to have a similar past with the old mister and your son was an exceptional jewellery designer. I also found out that he had been thinking to work a design for you. Regrettably an accident occurred. Although I could never know what kind of design your son had in mind for you, but I guess that he must've loved you dearly and longed for his mother to be happy. That's why I designed this and named it Longing."

The lounge returned to silence after Annabelle's explanation.

It was true Alexis had an outstanding son, exceptionally talented in designing. Annabelle was right.

However, nobody had dared to bring up this topic in front of her. Annabelle was the first.

Everyone kept silent. Even her assistant felt her heart dropped to her chest.

"How have you known all this?" Alexis asked.

"It was a huge news. I think it's not too difficult to find out about it." She explained.

Alexis paused for sometime and all of a sudden a smile bloomed on her face, "Thank you!"

And the crowd let of a breath they unknowingly held.

"Leo was a loving kid. And indeed, he was a brilliant designer!" Alexis muttered, and there was nostalgia all over her face.

"I believe Leo would definitely want you to rest and relax from time to time. He wouldn't want his mother to overexert herself!" Annabelle replied.

Alexis was pleased and smiled at Annabelle.

Actually the mature woman was very attractive too. But ever since her son's death she had always tensed and gloomed her face. She hardly smiles. Now it was like a ray of sunshine painted on her face. She simply looked beautiful.

"Thank you so much!" Alexis genuinely thanked her from the bottom of her heart.

Annabelle just nodded and smiled.

"Since Miss Xia gave her words, then this design now belongs to you!" Mu spoke.

"Mr. Mu, regarding our discussion last time, I wish to sign it with you. I will ask my assistant to get it ready!"

Mu seemed delighted and quickly replied, "Great! I shall be waiting."

"However, I wish for Miss Xia to be the designer in this collaboration!"

Mu glanced at Annabelle and agreed, "Sure, no problem!"

Annabelle didn't know what they were talking about. But if Alexis had offered this kind gesture, it would be ostentatious to reject her. However if she were to accept it, it would be difficult for her to leave Yun Rui again.

While she was contemplating, Mu already agreed it on her behalf.
