Chapter 298:
“Don’t you have work to do back home?” Annabel asked in surprise.
Rupert smiled and waved his hand dismissively. “Finley will take care of things while I’m away. I haven’t fully recovered yet. I’ll leave after resting for a few more days p>
“Well, okay p>
Annabel was a little taken aback. She didn’t expect that a workaholic like Rupert would be willing to rest.
After a while, Annabel glanced at her watch deliberately. It was late, but Rupert showed no intention of leaving.
She cleared her throat and said frankly, “Rupert, I need to go to bed soon. Go back to your own room p>
Rupert’s expression darkened. This woman was always eager to drive him away.
Sure enough, Annabel stood up and started dragging Rupert to the door. In the end, Rupert sighed helplessly and said, “See you tomorrow p>

Finley managed the day-to-day operations of the company these days. Rupert only needed to give instructions remotely.
After Finley left, Rupert took a seat on the sofa. Leaning back against the cushions, he casually crossed his legs and read the book that Finley had given him.
Annabel slept soundly that night.
When her eyes opened the next day, it was already noon.
After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Annabel got ready to go shopping with Anika. She had been in Paris for the past several days but was busy with issues related to Ice and Fire, so she hadn’t had a chance to catch up with Anika.
Since she had a rare day off today, she had invited Anika to go shopping with her.
The second she opened the door, she was greeted with Rupert’s tall and slender figure.
“Rupert, why are you here?” Annabel was caught a little off guard.
With a smile, Rupert replied, “I’m waiting for you p>
