Chapter 66:
But what about her? She saw him as just a stranger.
“Annabel, am I really just an insignificant stranger to you?” Rupert asked, reaching out to grab her arm.
“What else could you be?” Annabel asked with a shrug.
Then she looked down at her arm, which was still being held tightly by Rupert.
“You’re hurting me, Rupert. Just let go of me p>
But Rupert paid no heed to her and refused to let her go.
His handsome face was hard, and his brow was bunched in a frown. There was a complicated emotion swirling in his eyes.
Annabel struggled but failed to free her arm from his grasp.
She stopped struggling when she got tired.
“Annabel, what are you doing?” a female voice suddenly asked, breaking the silence in the room.
Annabel turned and looked toward the door. It was none other than Heather.
Seeing that Heather was glaring at her with jealousy in her eyes, Annabel quickly snuggled up to Rupert and said, “What my fiancé and I are doing has nothing to do with you p>
Then she looked at Rupert and asked him affectionately, “Babe, do you agree p>
Babe?
Well, that was a lovely name.
Rupert’s handsome face was still expressionless, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Heather was so angry that her face turned red, while Finley, who was standing beside her, was fidgeting uneasily. “Mr. Benton, I’m sorry. I told Miss Norman that you were busy now, but she insisted on coming in p>
His boss was famous for his indifference. He didn’t like women getting close to him or staring at him. It was rare to find him making out with Annabel, but now that he had chosen to do it, he was interrupted.
Surprisingly, with only an impatient wave of his hand, Rupert gestured for Finley to leave.
Your next chapter awaits at
Finley felt relieved and quickly hurried out of the CEO’s office.
“Heather, why are you here?” Rupert asked, adjusting his tie and looking at her indifferently.
With a smile she believed to be very charming, Heather walked up to Rupert and said in a soft voice, “Rupert, here’s the thing. We have prepared a preliminary prospectus for the partnership between Benton Group and Norman Group. I brought it for you to see p>
“Isn’t your brother in charge of the partnership?” Rupert asked with a frown.
“He didn’t have time today, so he asked me to bring it instead,” Heather said, blushing. But the truth was that she had brought it just to have the opportunity to meet Rupert.
Rupert turned back to Annabel and said in an icy tone, “You can go p>
“Did you hear that? Get out of here right now! I want to explain the prospectus to Rupert!” Heather shouted at Annabel. She was elated that Rupert had spoken to Annabel in such a manner.
“Heather, I said you should go out,” Rupert ordered, his cold voice making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
“Rupert,” Heather gasped, her eyes widening in disbelief. “But I haven’t explained the prospectus to you yet p>
Rupert frowned and glanced at her impatiently. “Just drop it and go p>
“But my brother told me to explain it to you carefully,” Heather insisted, wearing a sad and pained expression.
