Chapter 246
Chapter 246:
“It’s none of your business. Don’t follow me,” Annabel warned coldly.
She then walked out of the hotel and hailed a taxi.
Lost in thought, Rupert stared at the taxi as it went down the road.
Where was Annabel off to at this time of the night? Why did she tell him not to follow her? Was she going to see another man?
In the back seat of the taxi, Annabel was grumbling. She took several deep breaths before she was able to text Anika.
“Hey! Meet me at the bar for a drink p>
In Charming Bar, Anika was already seated by the time Annabel arrived.
“Here!” Anika waved at Annabel from her seat.
Annabel sat next to her and requested, “A glass of cocktail, please p>
Anika handed the glass to her and looked at her with a smile. “Girl, what’s wrong with you? You look like someone annoyed you. What happened p>
“It’s nothing.” Annabel gulped her drink in one shot.
The dim light shone on her. Her beautiful features weren’t entirely visible for all to see. She looked soft, mysterious, and troubled at the same time.
Studying her closely, Anika poured her another drink. “Someone clearly made you angry. Let me guess. It was Rupert, right p>
The mention of Rupert ignited the irritation Annabel was trying so hard to drown.
She slammed the glass on the table and said, “Can you not talk about him p>
“Oh, it seems I guessed right.” Anika chuckled. “No offense, but you are being too hard on him. Judging by the things I heard about him while I was abroad, he’s a good man. And I’m more convinced of it after seeing him today p>

“What did you hear about him?” Annabel sucked her teeth at the thought of what Rupert said to her in the elevator.
“He’s tall, handsome, rich, and powerful. If you ask me, you guys are a perfect match,” Anika teased, pouring her another glass.
Annabel drank it in one gulp and spat, “I disagree p>
Anika coughed. “That wasn’t what I thought when I saw you two at the press conference. You looked like a match made in heaven. Don’t tell me you have no feelings for him after living with him for weeks p>
“Stop talking nonsense!” Annabel leaned back and took a deep breath. “I don’t feel a thing for him, and I don’t think it would ever happen. My grandfather insisted I come here to stay with him for three months. We have already agreed that the engagement will be called off once the time elapses p>
Anika shrugged and said, “In that case, let’s make a bet p>
“On what?” Annabel inquired indifferently.
A mischievous smirk sat on Anika’s face. “Let’s bet on whether you and Rupert will break off the engagement. If you lose, you have to give me your handmade necklace. What do you say p>
