Chapter 85:
As he walked out of the house, Rupert was upset.
If there was no Candy, he might accept Annabel.
After all, a beautiful, smart, confident, capable, and bold girl like Annabel was very attractive to any sane man.
But his heart was filled with Candy.
He had promised to marry Candy; he would not marry anyone else.
Rupert didn’t want to admit that he was attracted to Annabel.
Her voice, face, smile, and every move appeared in Rupert’s mind and lingered there for a long time.
It was already the end of the workday when Rupert returned from Bruce’s house. He called home, but Tracy told him that Annabel hadn’t come home yet.
Rupert drove straight to Benton Group.
It was already dark.
The office staff were leaving work one after another, but Annabel was still buried in her work.
She didn’t seem to realize it, but she was the only one left in the office. While she was staring at the computer screen and working on the report, a shadow was suddenly cast over her.
“Who is that?” Annabel asked, looking up immediately.
She saw Rupert looking back at her.
He was wearing a white shirt, and the sleeves were rolled up. The light shone on him as if he were coated with a layer of gold, which made him look extraordinary and noble.
“Rupert, why are you here?” Annabel asked in surprise.
Rupert smiled and said in a serious tone, “I’m here to see how the Ice and Fire series is progressing p>
Annabel was puzzled. Though the Lady Fashion project was a key project of the design department, the main business of Benton Group was not jewelry making. There were many more important projects than the Lady Fashion project.
No matter how important the project was, the progress was usually reported to Rupert by the employees.
It was late, but Rupert was here to see how it was going. Why would he come and supervise such a small project?
Annabel felt there was something he was not telling her.
But since Rupert had only said he had come to see how the project was going, Annabel had to answer honestly, “Everything is going well. I’m checking the financial statements concerning the production of the series p>
“Really? Let me have a look,” Rupert said calmly.
“Okay.” Annabel shrugged, pointing at the computer screen. “This is the report from the production department. I haven’t finished reading it yet p>
“Okay.” Rupert nodded. He turned around and stood behind her.
He bent down, with one hand on the table and the other hand pointing at the screen. “Look, you can write more details here p>
The way he positioned himself, it looked as if he was holding Annabel in his arms.
