Chapter 267:
Annabel briskly handed the documents over to Rupert, saying, “The test results prove that the Ice and Fire jewelry produced here is fine. It seems that the problem lies in the factory in France p>
Rupert took the documents, but instead of reading them, he tossed them onto the desk.
Annabel was surprised. At such a critical moment, this afternoon’s press conference was of utmost importance. They were going to clarify the Ice and Fire incident. These materials were key to the press conference, but Rupert didn’t even glance at them.
Frowning, Annabel asked anxiously, “Don’t you need to read those? They will help with the press conference this afternoon p>
“I know that.” Rupert chuckled mischievously. “But we must take care of something else first p>
“What?” Annabel blurted, unable to contain her mounting anxiety.
Rupert pointed at the medicine on the table and answered, “Feed me the medicine p>
Annabel was dumbfounded.
How could he still be thinking about that at a time like this?
Smiling cheekily, Rupert continued, “You wouldn’t want me to go to the press conference with a cold, would you p>
Annabel rolled her eyes and snapped, “Fine! Just don’t bite me again p>
Albeit huffily, she picked up the bottle of medicine from the table, unscrewed the lid, and poured two pills out. Then, holding her breath, she carefully placed them into Rupert’s mouth.
Perhaps it was because the medicine was bitter, but Rupert suddenly frowned and said, “I want some water p>
“Your glass is right there.” Annabel pursed her lips vigilantly. What did this man want this time?

“Help me out, will you?” Rupert spoke as if his request was obvious.
Annabel was once again rendered speechless.
But now wasn’t the time to squabble. Annabel briskly picked up Rupert’s glass and poured water into it. Then, she brought the glass to his lips and snapped, “Here p>
Rupert leaned back to avoid her advance, looking at her with mischievous eyes.
“Check the water’s temperature to see if it’s just right p>
Despite the man’s unreasonable request, Annabel kept her cool and took a sip of the water.
Indeed, it was just right.
But this was Rupert’s glass. She had just drunk from it. Was this an indirect kiss? Her cheeks turned red at the thought. Annabel took a deep breath to dismiss this ridiculous idea.
“It’s okay. Here, drink it,” Annabel said, handing the glass to Rupert, trying to keep her voice calm.
But Rupert didn’t take it. He was staring intently at the woman’s blushing face.
“What are you looking at?” Annabel frowned, feeling unnerved under his gaze.
