Chapter 674 Jealous
Chapter 674 Jealous
Annabelle simply smiled, "That's because I don't have to worry about anything!"
When Dorie saw her smile, she squinted her eyes, "Annabelle, are you showing off?"
"What do you think?"
"I think you are!"
"Then it is…" As she said that, Annabelle broke into a giggle. Dorie simply gave her an eye roll in
return.
After the two friends were done, Dorie shooed Annabelle to the couch and she went to do the dishes.
"Sigh, I am just here to do hard labor!"
"Don't worry, when you get pregnant, I will go and help out as well!" Annabelle laughed.
"Okay, I shall remember that. If you aren't coming, I will just stay in your house and live off you!"
"You are most welcome!"
After doing the dishes, Dorie came out from the kitchen and sat on the couch. She looked at
Annabelle's stomach and asked, "How was it? Are you feeling better lately?"
Annabelle nodded, "Yeah, much better. I will go to do a checkup with Alistair tomorrow!"
Dorie pondered for a while, "With him?"
Annabelle nodded.
"You should have asked me…"
Annabelle, "…"
"Just let me accompany you. Don't you think it is embarrassing to bring a man to your maternity
inspection? By the way, we can even invite Covi and let's go together!"
"Covi?"
Dorie nodded.
"Don't you have to be in the shop today?"
"Su is there, I don't have to worry!"
When Annabelle looked at Dorie's response, she didn't know what to say, "I'll go get changed. You give
her a call!"
"Okay!"
Therefore, about twenty minutes later, the two girls departed. They decided to meet in the hospital
entrance in half an hour.
"Sorry I'm late. It took some time to apply for a half day leave!" Covi said.
When Dorie saw that Covi was breathing heavily to catch her breath, she asked, "Is it so difficult to
apply for a leave in your company?"
"The manager was just being difficult!"
"You should have just gone straight to find Alistair for the leave!"
"In the end I told the manager that I am going for a maternity inspection with Annabelle and he let me
go!"
Annabelle, "…"
Dorie, "…"
The law of the jungle!
After bringing out the boss, the manager had no way but to release her!
"All right, let's hurry and get inside!" Dorie chuckled.
Covi walked forward and the two friends walked side-by-side Annabelle and entered the hospital.
When they were in the clinic, Covi and Dorie remained quiet. They were afraid to disturb the doctor's
examination.
"Miss Xia, everything is good and the baby is doing well. However, you must make sure to rest amply.
Remember, the first three months are most important!" The doctor said.
When Annabelle heard that everything was fine, she was relieved, "Okay, I understand. Thank you,
doctor!"
"You are most welcome!"
When the friends heard that, they were restful as well. At that time, Dorie walked forward and asked,
"Doctor, can we tell the gender now?"
When the doctor heard Dorie, she was stunned. Annabelle wanted to know as well. However, she
didn't ask because she didn't mind the gender. She would be fine with either boy or girl.
She was surprised that Dorie asked that question in her place.
"Doctor, I know that it might not be too appropriate. But do you mind to disclose that to us?"
The doctor smiled, "It's not that I don't want to tell you. But the baby still small and we couldn't tell. We
need to wait a few more months to be able to do the detail scan!"
Dorie blinked, "Really?"
"We need to wait at least another four months to be able to tell!"
Dorie laughed awkwardly, "So that was it, thank you!"
"You are welcome!"
After the friends left the hospital, they were very happy.
"Now that the results come back fine, you should be restful!" Dorie smiled, "But sadly we still don't
know the gender!"
"Be it a boy or girl, it is my child and I would love them the same!" Annabelle said that as she caressed
her stomach. The woman was showing a motherly love already.
"I know, but I am still curious!" Dorie said.
"Then we shall wait another three months!" Covi said smilingly as well.
At that time, Annabelle's phone rang. Covi and Dorie glanced at her phone screen and saw that it was
Alistair calling.
"How sweet, calling already!"
Annabelle looked at them and chuckled, "What now? Jealous?"
"Yeah, totally!"
"Then keep it up!" After saying that, Annabelle answered the call.
"Hello…"
"Are you outside?"
"How did you know?"
"It is noisy in your background!"
Annabelle felt that it was a waste of talent Alistair wasn't a detective for private investigator. He could
even tell that…
"Yeah, I'm outside!"
"Why are you going out alone? Why not you get the driver to pick you?"
"I went to do a maternity inspection with Dorie and Covi. We are thinking of shopping after that so we
got a cab!" Annabelle said.
Covi and Dorie were listening and imitating her from the side. After that they were giggling to
themselves. Annabelle simply gave them an eye roll.
"I thought we are going there together tomorrow?"
"Dorie said it might be embarrassing for you to go into the women's clinic. Therefore she accompanied
me!" Annabelle made sure to explain how thoughtful Dorie was.
"She went with you?"
"And Covi as well!"
The moment she mentioned Covi, Covi's body tensed up. She looked at Annabelle's expression
intently. She was accompanying president Mu's wife to do a checkup, that shouldn't be considered
absenteeism, right?
Her boss wouldn't be deducting her salary, right…?
"Okay, got it!" After saying that, they hung up the call.
At that time, Covi looked at Annabelle and asked, "Did president Mu say anything about me?"
"He said…" Annabelle looked at them and the friends looked back at her, waiting impatiently for her to
finish her sentence.
Annabelle smiled and said, "He said he had troubled the two of you to accompany me for the checkup,
therefore he asked me to treat the two of you to a good meal!"
After hearing that, Covi rested her heart.
"That's more like it. Luckily he still has some conscience!" Dorie said smilingly. After that, she turned
around and looked at Dorie, "You are doing such a favor to accompany his wife, he should be giving
you bonuses already! Why are you worried that he might deduct your salary?!"
"Now I am restful!"
After saying that, the three friends went for lunch together.
In the afternoon, they sat in a restaurant to eat.
Dorie didn't hold back at all and she picked all the expensive foods. Their table was almost full and
both Covi and Annabelle were stunned.
"Yang Dorie, let me warn you, if you can't finish it, you have to bring it back!"
"Don't you worry about that, that's what I plan to do! Alistair had annoyed me for so long and I must do
this to return the favor!"
Annabelle, "…"
Covi shook her head and laughed. The three friends began eating and chatting. At that time, Covi
recalled something all of a sudden and she asked, "By the way, Dorie, is the man with you that time
your boyfriend?"
Dorie was eating when she heard that and she almost choked.
"No, who told you that?" Dorie hurriedly took out a piece of tissue and wiped her lips.
"Do I even need to hear that from someone else? It was so obvious…"
"That simply prove that you have some eyesight issue. He isn't my boyfriend!" Dorie denied it right
away.
Covi looked at her and asked, "… Really?"
Dorie nodded affirmatively, "He is single and so am I!"
"That is just perfect, no?"
Dorie, "… It's not like that. Never mind that, we are not together!"
Covi smiled and nodded, "All right then. By the way, I felt that I have seen him somewhere but I just
couldn't remember it!" Covi said.
When Dorie heard that, she continued to eat and muttered, "Just a so-so face, nothing special that you
have seen him before!"
When Annabelle and Covi heard her, they both laughed.
"Yeah, Su's face is just so-so… If any celebrity is were to hear that, they might get into a stroke or
something!" Annabelle said.
Although she wasn't complimenting Dorie, the woman was smiling in pride as she heard that!
Dorie lowered her head and kept eating without saying anything.
After the lunch, Annabelle swiped Alistair's card and left.
Covi and Dorie couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sigh, look at these rich people. They don't even think
when they swipe their card. I should have ordered more and eat more!"
Covi looked at her and said, "You can still eat?! Others almost thought that we have starved you for a
long time!"
Before Dorie wanted to say something, she bent over and hugged her stomach, "It's hard to breathe…"
When Covi and Annabelle looked at Dorie, they broke into a laughter.
After the friends were done with lunch, they went for shopping. Since Annabelle was pregnant and she
couldn't walk for a long time, they would take a break from time to time. Even if they were to buy
anything, they wouldn't let Annabelle carry the bags. The woman was protected like a national
treasure. After the shopping, they sent Annabelle home.
At that time, the sky hadn't turned dark yet and they weren't in a hurry to leave. When they saw some
red wine in Annabelle's house, they started drinking.
The friends were chatting over the drink while Annabelle simply held a glass of milk.
Since she was pregnant, Covi and Dorie were careful not to let her take any alcohol.
They had a great afternoon and it had been a long while since Annabelle enjoyed such a quality time
with her friends.
The three women had a good time chilling together and they drank a lot, almost one whole bottle.
Alistair's Lafitte…
After they had enough fun, they bid each other goodbye and left.
After they left, Annabelle felt tired and sleepy. She climbed up her bed and took a nap.
Dorie called Su and asked him to pick her up but the man said he was busy and couldn't leave his post.
Therefore, Dorie had no other way but took a cab back.
When she reached the shop, she saw that the place was crowded. Ever since Su joined them, it had
always been like this. Dorie was used to it already and she found her way in.
At that time, there was a young girl pestering Su, "Can I take a picture with you? Just one… Please…"
It was a young girl with long hair. She was skinny and pretty and she kept pestering Su.
After her relentless requests, Su didn't know what to do and he agreed.
At that time, the girl was happy and she moved closer. She even wrapped her arms around Su's
waist…
At that moment, Dorie's eyes widened.
Probably it was due to the red wine, her cheeks were blushed and she looked even more adorable.
It was just a picture, why was that woman sticking out her chest and pouting her lips…
At that time, Dorie walked straight in front of them and stared at Su, "Don't you have to work during
business hours?"
When Su saw Dorie, his gaze became gentler. After that, he frowned, "Have you been drinking?"
"How did you come here?"
"I walked here!"
After saying that, Dorie walked inside and ignored him.
Su looked at the woman and said, "Pardon me, I need to get back to work!"
Since the young girl had gotten her picture, she moved away.
Su walked towards Dorie as she was reviewing the accounts. Although she was flipping the book of
accounts, she wasn't registering anything at all.
"Why have you been drinking?"
"What does that have to do with you?" Dorie asked back.
Su was stunned for a while. He looked at Dorie's back and frowned, "Since you have been drinking,
just go back and get some rest. I can manage here!"
"What now? You don't want me to stop you from getting girls? Let me warn you, Shawn Su! If you want
to get girls, you better go somewhere else. If you want to be here, you better go by the rules!" After
saying that, Dorie turned around and left.
At that time, An-an watched from beside and said, "Sister Dorie seems angry!"
"Hurry and chase after her!" At that time, another person added.
Su didn't think much. He took off his uniform and went after her.
Dorie got into the car and Su stood right in front of her. He looked at her and asked, "What's gotten into
you?"
"I want to go back!"
"Let me drive!"
"There's no need. It is still working hour, are you trying to escape work?" Dorie fumed.
Su looked at her and said, "Then just treat it as escaping work!"
Dorie frowned.
Su wanted to get in Dorie didn't want to move away, "I can drive myself!"
"Do you want to get fined for a drink and drive?" Su raised an eyebrow.
When Dorie heard that, she averted her gaze and move away.
Su sat inside and looked at her, "Where are you going?"
"Home!"
And so Su started the car and drove home.
Dorie didn't say anything throughout the ride. However, since she had been drinking and now that she
was angry, her cheek was blushing red and she simply looked adorable.
Su kept looking at her through the rearview mirror. However, he didn't say anything.
When they reached the apartment and parked, Dorie unfastened her seatbelt and walked out the car.
Su got down the car and followed after her.
Right after Dorie got inside the door, Su wanted to follow along. However, Dorie blocked him by the
door, "What are you doing?"
Su looked at her in puzzlement, "What's wrong with you?"
"It is inappropriate for a man and a woman to spend time inside locked doors!" Dorie enunciated.
Su could tell that she was angry, "Are you angry that I didn't go and pick you up?"
Dorie smirked scornfully, "Why? Who am I to you? Why should you pick me up?"
"Or… Are you angry that I took pictures with others?!" Su asked.
When Su made the right guess, Dorie's expression changed. She turned around and looked at him,
"You have been overthinking. I don't care who you took pictures with. I want to get some rest now, see
you!" After saying that, she wanted to shut the door.
At that moment, Su reacted right away and put his hand in gap of the door. And the door slammed on
his hand.
*Hiss*
Su's expression twisted in pain.
Dorie was shocked and she stared at him with wide eyes, "You, are you crazy?!"
"If that makes your anger subside, I don't mind to do it a few more times!" Su said.
As Dorie looked at him, she was even more furious, "Then just go and do it to yourself!"
After saying that, Dorie pushed Su outside and slammed the door after him.
When Dorie stood inside, she was still boiling in anger.
However, outside…
It was completely quiet!
Dorie stood there and listened closely. Logically, shouldn't he keep knocking or trying? Why wasn't
there any sound at all?
Dorie walked to the door and looked through the peephole… And she was even more enraged!
There wasn't anyone outside at all!
Dorie almost erupted!
She went to the living room and sat down on the couch. However, she just couldn't shake of her anger!
She sat there for a long time until the sky turned dark. When she was feeling a little hungry, she got out
to look for some food. However, there was nothing in the house at all.
She decided to just forget it and eat outside!
As she thought that, she found a scarf and walked out the door.
The night view in A city was beautiful.
Although it was night, there was quite a crowd outside.
There was a lot of couples as well. Dorie didn't drive and she simply walked slowly.
After walking for a long time, she felt that someone was following her.
She turned her head back and saw Su.
The man was standing not far away from her. It seemed that he had been following her for quite some
time now.
"Why are you following me?" Dorie stared at him and asked furiously.
Didn't he leave? Then what is he doing now, following me!?
When Su saw that she noticed himself, he walked forward, "I was worried about you!"
"Worried about me? Since when do you care for me so much?"
Although she said that, it was obvious that Dorie wasn't angry anymore.
Su looked her in the eyes, "I have always cared about you!"
Dorie, "…Che~ I don't believe it!"
"I am serious!" Su enunciated. He had such a serious demeanor and no one could doubt his words.
Dorie didn't say anything and simply walked forward. At that time, Su stretched out his hand and held
her arm, "Are you angry because I took pictures with the customer?"
Dorie blinked her eyes diffidently, "Shouldn't I get angry? Don't you forget that you are working, not
chasing after girls. If you do that, you will insecure losses for me!"
Dorie's logic was juggling around. The more she explained, the more diffident she got.
"Is that really the reason?" Su asked.
"If not? Just a picture, why was she sticking out her chest and pouting her lips. Others that didn't know This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
might even think that I was selling you in my shop…" Dorie said.
Wasn't that all she had been doing all along…
Su stared at her intently. The next second, he hugged her, held her face and kissed her…
Dorie was stupefied!
Her eyes were wide opened and she was unable to believe what happened!
Was that real!?
The sensation on her lips gave her the answer. It was real!!!
Dorie froze like an old computer. After she came back to her senses, she pushed him away.
"You, what are you doing? Are you trying to harass your boss? I can sue you!" Dorie said but she was
stammering. She looked at Su and the man was a head taller than her. His tall built was closing in on
her and it made her heart pound rapidly.
Su's lips curled up, "Okay, then I will not touch you anymore!"
Dorie glared at him furiously, "You…"
But all of a sudden, she was at loss of words. She didn't know what to say.
Su walked closer to her and hugged her waist, "It seems like you do like me touching you!"
"Nonsense!"
"Okay, whatever you say~" Su decided to ignore her anyway. Whatever makes her happy.
"All right now, can you stop being angry?"
Dorie wasn't used to him speaking so gently. However, she couldn't deny that she wasn't angry
anymore. Not only that, she was secretly elated.
"If you really don't want me to get angry, you should be more considerate in the shop!"
"Okay, I will make sure to maintain some distance with them in the shop. I won't to even talk to them, is
that enough?"
Dorie nodded but she came to a realization right away, "No, no way! If you aren't talking, how can we
carry on the business?"
Dorie knew that most of the customers did not go for her food but Su…
See, that greedy woman wouldn't be able to give up her profits!
"Then what should I do?"
"You are not allowed to flirt with them, take pictures and stay so close to them. Body contacts are
completely off!"
"That never happened!"
"You still dare to deny!? That woman's breast was almost sticking on your body. Was it comfortable?"
Dorie said and she glared at him.
"Hmm…" Su pretended to be recalling, "Really? I wasn't paying much attention. Now that I think of it, it
does feel a little…"
"Shawn Su!!!" Dorie yelled his full name.
Su simply broke into a chuckle. He looked at her and said, "But I don't like big breasts, I prefer smaller
ones, like…" As he said that, he carefreely glanced at Dorie.
"I like flat chests!"
Flat chests?
Why would anyone like flat chests!?
When Dorie was pondering about that, she looked at him and she noticed that he was staring at her
chest. When she realized that, she hurriedly covered her front and tilted her body in an angle, "Shawn
Su, where are you staring!? You jerk!"
As she said that, she flung her fist at Su.
That weak punch was nothing more than a joke to Su, completely harmless. Su stretched out his hand
and caught her easily. He pulled her gently and Dorie fell towards him…
Dorie raised her face and their eyes met.
At that moment, Dorie's heart was pounding rapidly and she was feeling a warmth from within.
Su looked at her gently and said solemnly, "I am serious!"
