Chapter 24
Chapter 24:
“Okay, let’s go.” Annabel readily agreed.
She already had it in mind to expose Nina for making her stay at work overtime last night.
Pulling Annabel by the arm, Nina walked to the door of the CEO’s office. She tidied her hair and clothes and looked at herself in the glass nearby before knocking on the door.
Compared to Nina, it could be said that Annabel looked a mess.
She had been through a lot just to save the stray dog earlier. Her neat suit was wrinkled, and there was a mud stain on her shirt from hugging the dog so tightly.
Seeing how Nina paid attention to her looks and put on a smile, Annabel finally understood why she was so mean to her.
Nina had a thing for Rupert.
Annabel happened to be Rupert’s nominal fiancée.
No wonder Nina regarded her as a thorn in the flesh.
“Come in p>
Nina’s smile grew more enchanting as soon as she heard Rupert’s attractive voice. She opened the door gently.
Her smile froze the second she stepped into the office.
Annabel walked in. She peered over Nina’s shoulder and saw a woman standing very close to Rupert.
This woman was beautiful, to say the least. Her long, curly chestnut hair fell over her neck and down to her cleavage. The red short skirt she wore accentuated her curves and slender legs.
Her made-up face was familiar. She was the same woman who had almost run over the stray dog and cursed Annabel that morning.
“Mr. Benton, this is the featured product for next season p>
The woman stood very close to Rupert, her beautiful eyes gleaming with obsession.
Everything made sense now. It turned out that this woman was an employee here. No wonder she looked familiar. And judging from her expression, she had to be one of Rupert’s admirers.

Crazy. How many women had a crush on this cold-blooded man?
Annabel frowned slightly and looked at the lofty man with dissatisfaction.
He looked dashing in a black handmade Armani suit. His bushy eyebrows were knitted, and beneath his high nose was a pair of thin, kissable lips. He looked like a Greek god.
It was no surprise that a handsome and rich man attracted the attention of countless women.
However, Annabel was not one of them.
She wasn’t interested in him in spite of his looks and deep pockets; his arrogance made him undesirable.
Anyway, they would break off their engagement in three months.
It didn’t matter to her that there was a string of women trying to win his heart.
“Bernice, could you kindly excuse me? I need to speak to Mr. Benton about something.” Nina glanced at the red-clad lady before turning her attention to Rupert.
The name Bernice sounded familiar to Annabel.
Annabel suddenly realized that Bernice was the director of the design department of a jewelry company owned by Benton Group. Her family had a connection with the Benton family, which enabled her to become a director at such a young age.
“I’m also speaking with Mr. Benton, Nina. Don’t you understand that it’s first come, first served?” Bernice expressed her dissatisfaction.
