Chapter 235:
When the song that Rupert and Annabel were dancing to ended, the banquet began.
Everyone had a compliment for Rupert, who responded politely to their flattery, but without emotion.
Several toasts were proposed, and he ended up drinking a few glasses of wine.
When he looked around for Annabel, she seemed to be gone.
Put off by the liveliness of the party, Annabel had moved to a quiet corner. She was about to get some cake when an attractive voice asked, “May I sit here, Annabel p>
The voice belonged to Rory.
“I don’t mind. Take a seat if you want to,” Annabel answered without trying to hide her indifference.
Rory took a seat next to her. “I never got the chance to finish telling you about my plans for Star Entertainment p>
He and Annabel had made a date to discuss his plans over dinner, but Rupert had derailed the evening.
“Okay. Email it to me, and I’ll take a look when I have time.” Annabel sipped her orange juice.
Rather than agree, Rory suddenly changed the subject. “Annabel, can I ask you a question p>
Annabel nodded. “Sure. What is it p>
“Your relationship with Rupert… Is it really just contractual?” Rory asked, even though he already knew the answer.
Annabel responded with a question of her own. “Why do you want to know p>
Rory was encouraged by this reply, so he continued with another question. “Have you ever had genuine feelings for Rupert p>
Genuine feelings?
Annabel had been avoiding this, and inwardly, she cringed.

The truth was that she didn’t know how she felt about Rupert.
However, she was certain that Rupert’s feelings for Candy were genuine, and she couldn’t accept that.
As she was thinking these thoughts, her annoyance began to show on her face. She pursed her lips and stated, “No. I don’t have romantic feelings for Rupert. Our relationship is contractual, and nothing more p>
Rupert was hiding in the shadows nearby and overheard the conversation. He had been looking for Annabel, and he spotted her sitting next to Rory in the corner.
Annabel’s voice was dismissive.
“I don’t have romantic feelings for Rupert. Our relationship is contractual, and nothing more p>
Rupert approached with a forbidding expression. “Could you repeat that for me, Annabel p>
Annabel was stunned. Rupert had appeared out of nowhere.
Did he hear the conversation between Rory and her?
“I’m sorry, but no. I don’t like to repeat myself p>
