Chapter 266:
Rupert tapped the table with his knuckles. His long legs were crossed casually. Although he was sitting, he gave off a towering sense of oppression.
He looked at Cody with a frown and said in a sharp, cold tone, “I agree that we have to solve this problem before things become worse than this. However, I’d like to make it clear that firing Annabel won’t calm the storm. Even if it would, I would never fire her. So, forget about it p>
“Rupert, how—” Cody was embarrassed by Rupert’s straightforward refusal.
Just as he was about to get short with him, Rupert said authoritatively, “Leave everything to me. Your help isn’t needed here, so use the door p>

“Mr. Wagner,” Annabel greeted Cody with a polite smile.
Cody forced a smile in return and then left quickly.
Shrugging it off, Annabel knocked on the door. “May I come in p>
Rupert looked up and smiled. “Of course p>
Annabel stepped inside the CEO’s office, only to find Rupert holding the bottle of cold medicine she had given him. His clear eyes were fixed on the bottle in his hand, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of his thin lips.
