Chapter 73:
Before long, she received a reply. “Everything is going well p>
Annabel nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that the big show in the afternoon would go down well. Everything was under control.
When she finally returned to the hall, Brett’s plane had already landed and he had gotten off.
Brett was a Frenchman. He was thirty years old, tall and burly, with blond hair and fair skin.
“Hi, Rupert!” Brett greeted Rupert happily, giving him a warm hug.
“It’s been a while,” Rupert said, his face still expressionless.
With a polite smile, Annabel stepped forward and greeted Brett in French.
“Who is this beautiful lady?” Brett asked Rupert, looking at Annabel with amazement in his blue eyes.
Frowning, Rupert introduced Annabel to him. “This is Annabel. She is in charge of the project p>
Rupert had never expected that Annabel would speak French.
His fiancée was not only far from being a country bumpkin, but she was also a very excellent woman.
She was excellent enough to attract everyone’s attention, just as she had attracted Brett’s just now.
Brett stretched out his arms wide open to hug Annabel. “You’re very beautiful. Have we met before p>
Annabel only stretched out her hand and politely shook his. “I don’t think so p>
But the truth was that she had met Brett once before.
When Annabel and her grandpa were traveling in France, she had met Brett at a banquet. But she had been a fifteen-year-old girl at that time.
Fortunately, Brett couldn’t recognize her anymore. This was very good for her, since she didn’t want to be exposed so soon.
Together, Annabel and Rupert escorted Brett and his assistant back to Benton Group.

Later, at two o’clock sharp, the meeting officially began.
This time, Annabel had prepared a beautiful PowerPoint presentation.
Though Brett could speak English, Annabel gave a wonderful speech in French, explaining the progress of the whole project. The French speakers in the room, especially Brett, nodded frequently, expressing their admiration and approval.
Seeing that Annabel was being outstanding again, Nina’s eyes hardened in jealousy and she clenched her fists tightly.
“Annabel, just wait and see. A good show is about to begin! Let’s see how long you can stay on top. Very soon, you’ll be kicked out!” she said to herself.
After the speech, Annabel was warmly applauded. Even Rupert was not economical with his applause.
With a faint smile and a nod of gratitude, Annabel continued, “At this stage, let’s look at the specific drawings p>
Then she picked up the folder and took out the drawings.
But when she saw what she was holding, her expression changed.
Everyone present gasped in surprise.
They all saw Annabel take out a few sheets of blank paper from the file that was supposed to contain the drawings.
