Chapter 234:
Rupert leaned even closer and whispered in her ear, “I wasn’t talking about the dance p>
His breath was warm against the side of her face, and she felt an indescribable itch.
Her face grew hot.
She and Rupert were indeed on good terms.
Many things had happened in the past month.
Nina had wronged Annabel by accusing her of pushing her into the water. Annabel had found the recording and exposed Nina, while Rupert found the video to reveal her crime.
This afternoon’s press conference was another example. In response to Marilyn’s accusation of plagiarism, Annabel called Anika to prove that she was the designer of Ice and Fire, and Rupert discovered that it was Archie who had stolen and sold Annabel’s designs to Marilyn.
They worked so well together, it was as if fate intended them to be connected.
“We are in sync,” Annabel conceded with a smile.
Rupert’s heart was warmed by Annabel’s words, and his expression softened involuntarily. In his most tender tone, he asked, “Since we’re so in sync, would you reconsider my proposal p>
Rupert’s proposal.
Annabel looked into his eyes, and her heart rate increased.
She knew what he was talking about.
Whether they were in sync or not was one thing; whether they were suitable for each other was another.
Annabel couldn’t accept a serious relationship with a man who still pined for another woman.
Even the thought of her turned Annabel cold. “Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to talk about that here p>

“Really?” Rupert asked with raised brows.
“Of course,” Annabel responded coldly. “Besides, I’ve been very clear. Try not to be so forgetful, will you p>
Rupert’s expression quickly darkened. Frustrated, he remained silent, and they continued the dance.
This man… He was angry with her again. How mean!
Annabel kept these thoughts to herself and focused on the dance.
As she watched the handsome couple dance, Heather felt her jealousy mount. Rupert had indirectly admitted to his relationship with Annabel when he asked her for the first dance. The whole room was watching them, and Annabel was being lavished with attention.
What was this simple country girl’s secret? How had she managed to enchant Rupert so completely?
“Don’t worry about it, Heather. Annabel won’t be smug for long,” Bella said in an attempt to comfort her friend.
Heather regained her composure and averted her eyes from the offensive scene on the dance floor. “Annabel, enjoy it while you can,” she said through gritted teeth.
