Who Is The Real Boss?

Chapter 135 You Care About Him

"What's the matter, Annie?" Heather asked, pretending to be worried.

Annie was embarrassed and tried to pull her dress lower, but she couldn't hide anything.So she just smiled awkwardly.

"I fell by accident."

"Oh, really?"

Heather did not reveal her lies.She pretended to be nice and said, "Come with me to my room.I have an ointment.It's not good if your bruises leave scars."

"Thank you so much." Annie nodded.

Joseph had tortured her, and now her entire body hurt like it was falling apart.She just wanted to rest.

Heather led Annie into her room and handed her the ointment.

"I appreciate it." Annie was moved.

"How are things between you and Brett?"

Heather questioned although she knew the answer.

Annie became sad when she heard Heather mention Brett.

"Brett broke up with me." Annie spoke in a sad and hesitant tone.

"Why did he break up with you? Is it because of what took place at the banquet that day?" Heather asked in a casual tone.

Annie bit her lower lip and said, "It's because of Annabel! It's all her fault!"

The glass of red wine at the feast was intended for Annabel, but Annabel feigned to sip it to deceive her and then poured the wine all into her mouth, humiliating her in front of everyone.

Brett couldn't have broken up with her if it hadn't been for Annabel.

And she wouldn't have been reduced to the point where she needed to make love with Joseph to get a role.

Heather became enlightened all of a sudden.

"It turns out that Annabel was responsible for what transpired that day."

"Yes, she was!"

Annie gritted her teeth in hatred at the thought of Annabel.

"What's can possibly be good about Annabel? What else can she do other than seducing men?"

Heather narrowed her eyes.

"But it's easy to make Brett change his mind about you."

"What can you do to make Brett change his mind?" Annie asked eagerly.She was ready to do anything to make Brett change his mind.

Heather smiled and said, "Brett broke up with you.And it was mainly because of Annabel.If Brett finds out what type of a person Annabel is and we make her admit that she framed you that day, he will change his mind."

"How could Annabel confess?" Annie became furious.

Heather moved closer and whispered something in Annie's ear.

Annie cracked a grin.

"I will see to it that Annabel dies this time."

It was late in the evening.

Annabel tossed and turned in the bed.She suddenly remembered what Rupert had said to her on the Ferris wheel and what he had blurted out in his room when she aroused his sexual desires— Candy.She was confused and couldn't figure out what Rupert meant.

Suddenly, Annabel sat up and called Anika.

"Come drink with me at the bar."

Anika was asleep when she received a phone call from Annabel.She answered, irritated, "Look at the time.It's midnight.What's the matter with you?" All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'm not in a good mood," Annabel grumbled.

Anika awoke and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Let's talk when we meet," Annabel stated indifferently.

Anika stood up and grabbed the car keys.

"Send me your location, and I'll pick you up."

Annabel got dressed and went to wait for Anika at the gate.

Annie left Heather's room.She was about to leave when she noticed Annabel standing at the gate.She swiftly hid in a corner.She had just learned from Heather that Annabel and Rupert also resided in this hotel.

Annie wondered why Annabel was standing at the gate alone at that time of the night.She glared at Annabel.

Was she secretly seeing another man late at night? Anika's car pulled up beside Annabel.She rolled down the window and stated, "Annabel, get in the car."

Annabel then opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

Annie only saw Annabel enter a white Maserati, but she didn't catch a glimpse of the driver.

Annabel, she reasoned, was seeing another man behind Rupert's back.

Annie hastily stopped a cab.

"Follow the vehicle in front."

Anika looked at Annabel and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did Rupert anger you again?"

"Don't bring him up!"

Annabel became angry when she heard his name.

At this, Anika cracked a grin.It looked like her hunch was right once again.

Only Rupert could infuriate Annabel to this degree.

Anika walked Annabel to the bar, sat her in a corner, and poured her a glass of red wine.

"Tell me.What did Rupert do this time?"

Annabel drank the wine all at once.

"I don't know what to say."

"What do you mean?"

Anika couldn't be more puzzled.

Annabel poured herself another glass of wine and gently shook it.

"Rupert is in love with another girl."

Annabel then gave Anika a quick summary of the story of Rupert and Candy.

Anika nodded.

"Do you think Rupert treats you as a substitute for Candy?"

"Isn't that the case?"

Annabel scowled and seemed to be thinking deeply about something.

"I don't think that is true."

Anika shook his head.

"Since Rupert is pursuing you, why are you still hesitating?"

"When it comes to romantic relationships, I'm a neat freak," Annabel declared.

"I can't allow partner to be constantly missing someone else."

"Alright.And what about Rory? He loves you deeply, but you still reject him."

Anika pursed her lips disapprovingly.

"Would you mind if Rory had someone else in his mind?"

Annabel's concern over Rupert's first love suggested that she had feelings for him.

"Rory?"

Annabel was shocked.

"We are just friends.It doesn't matter whether he has someone else in his mind or not."

"See? That's the point!"

Anika smiled.

"Annabel, you have fallen in love with Rupert.Otherwise, why would you be bothered by Candy?"

"Is that so?"

Annabel stroked her forehead irritably.

"Can you just stop talking about Rupert?"

When Anika saw Annabel's face get red, she grinned and quickly changed the subject.

"will you be attending tomorrow night's auction for charity?"

"Of course." Annabel nodded slightly.

The charity auction was sponsored by Leo Studio.

At first, Annabel had no intention of attending, but she suddenly changed her mind.

Annie arrived at the bar.She wore a hat to cover her face and looked around for Annabel.It would be great if she saw the man Annabel was having an affair with.

Annabel had caused her so much pain.She had to repay her thousands of times!
