Chapter 166
Chapter 166:
She was convinced that Rupert would not turn down Heather if they were alone.
Annabel rubbed her hair and lay on the bed. Her mind was filled with Rupert’s attractive face, a face she could not shake off.
Even though she thought she did not care about Rupert, she was surprised to find herself disturbed by the image of him kissing Heather.
Annabel could not sleep all night. She arrived at Benton Group the next day with two dark circles under her eyes.
There was still no sign of Rupert.
Rupert, a well-known workaholic, would never be late for work without a valid reason.
Today, however, he was late.
Finley was perplexed as well. Rupert had explicitly told him that he would watch the Ice and Fire commercial shoot in person today at Lover Lake. But now everyone was here, and Rupert was still nowhere to be seen. His phone was turned off.
It was unusual.
“We are not waiting for him anymore. Let’s get going,” Annabel said, scowling, her voice icy.
Rupert must be having fun with Heather right now.
He was pursuing enjoyment while leaving so many people waiting for him. It was very frustrating.
“But Mr. Benton said he would come with us today,” Finley said, still hesitant. He was obedient to Rupert’s every instruction. Whenever he was given a task by Rupert, he completed it promptly.
“He will come by himself if he wants to. We do not have to wait for him with so many people here,” Annabel insisted.
She was always on time. She would never let so many people waste their time.
Furthermore, no one knew when Rupert would return.

“Annabel has a point. I have an interview this afternoon,” Rory remarked.
“Well… alright.” Finley hesitated for a while before agreeing, especially after hearing what Rory said and realizing he still could not reach Rupert.
Rory got into the car and took a seat next to Annabel. He looked at her and asked quietly, “Are you okay p>
Annabel nodded.
Even though she appeared calm, Rory knew she was in a bad mood today.
The two dark circles under her eyes, in particular, gave her away.
“Is there anything you can’t tell me, Annabel? Why are you treating me like a stranger?” Rory’s eyes were filled with disappointment.
Annabel gave a slight grin. “I’m okay. Are you free tonight? Let’s go out for dinner p>
“Okay,” Rory replied, thrilled that Annabel had taken the initiative to ask him out.
Finley, seated in the front row, overheard their conversation and was puzzled. He was well aware that Annabel was Rupert’s fiancée, yet she appeared to have a close relationship with Rory.
They even had a date tonight.
Finley wondered if he should inform Rupert.
