Chapter 45

Annabel, Go To Die

Rupert didn't want to admit that he was attracted to Annabel.

Her voice, face, smile and every move appeared in Rupert's mind and lingered for a long time.It was
already off duty time when Rupert returned from Bruce's house.He called home, but Tracy told him that
Annabel hadn't come home yet.

Rupert drove straight to Benton Group.It was already dark.

The staff in the office were leaving work one after the other, but Annabel was still buried in her
work.She didn't seem to know it, but she was the only one left in the office.

While she was staring at the computer screen and working on the report, a shadow was suddenly cast
over her.

"Who's that?" Annabel asked, looking up immediately.She saw Rupert looking back at her.

He was wearing a white shirt, and the sleeves were rolled up.The light shone on him, as if he was
coated with a layer of gold, which made him look extraordinary and noble.

"Rupert, why are you here?" Annabel asked in surprise.

Rupert smiled and said in a serious tone, "I'm here to see how the Ice and Fire series is progressing."

Annabel was puzzled.

Though the Lady Fashion project was a key project of the design department, the main business of
Benton Group was not jewelry making.

There were many more important projects than the Lady Fashion project.



No matter how important the project was, the progress was usually reported to Rupert by the
employees.

It was late, but Rupert was here to see how it was going.

Why would he come and supervise such a small project? Annabel felt there was something he was not
telling her.

But since Rupert only said he had come to see how the project was going, Annabel had to answer
honestly, "Everything is going well.I'm checking the financial statements concerning the production of
the series."

"Really? Let me have a look," Rupert said calmly.

"Okay."

Annabel shrugged, pointing at the computer screen.

"This is the report from the production department.I haven't finished reading it yet."

"Okay," Rupert nodded.

He turned around and stood behind her.He bent down, with one hand on the table and the other hand
pointing to the screen.

"Look, you can write more details here."

The way he positioned himself, it looked as if he was holding Annabel in his arms.

The two of them were so close that Annabel could even perceive the faint smell of tobacco from
him.Her heart began to beat faster and faster.



"Then I'll ask the production department to do it tomorrow," Annabel turned to him and said stiffly.

But she did not expect to find that he was staring straight at her.

Caught off guard, Annabel blushed and quickly said, "If there’s no other problem, I'd like to go on with
my task."

"It's late now.You can continue tomorrow.I'll drive you home," Rupert offered.

He looked at his watch; it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Annabel refused.

"I don't like to postpone things till the next day."

"Okay,"Rupert nodded, showing no intention of leaving.

"Are you going to supervise me here?" Annabel asked when she saw that he was still in the same old
position.

Seeing the embarrassed look on her face, Rupert looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"If there's a problem, I can point it out in time," he said in a businesslike tone.

Annabel was far from pleased with this.

How could she work when he was so close to her? She quickly turned off the computer and said,
"Forget it.I'll finish it tomorrow."

Rupert straightened up and looked at her with a faint smile.

"Didn't you say that you didn't like to postpone a day's work?"



"I'm tired," Annabel replied, quickly picking up her handbag and walking over to the door.

Rupert chuckled and walked after her.

"I'll go back with you."

Annabel didn't know what to say, so she just stayed quiet.

They both rode the elevator and soon ended up at the underground garage.

But before Rupert could open the car door, a figure rushed up to him and grabbed his arm.

"Rupert, I've been waiting for you!"

Annabel took a closer look and saw that it was Nina.

Rupert pulled his arm out of her grasp in disgust.

"Nina, why are you still here? I said I didn't want to see you again! Get out of here!"

"Rupert, please don't fire me,"

Nina begged in tears, her eyes already red and puffy from so much crying.

"I can even work as a cleaner as long as you don’t fire me.Please, just let me stay in Benton Group, so
I can be close to..."

Before Nina could finish her statement, Rupert cut her off harshly.

"I asked you to get out.Don't you understand that? Benton Group will never accept people like you who
work against the interests of the company for your own selfish reasons."



"Rupert, I'm sorry.I know I was wrong!"

Nina wailed, crying and begging profusely.

"I know I was wrong, but what I did, I did it because I love you so much.Rupert, I'm begging you, don't
fire me.You don't know how much I love you.As long as I can stay with you, 1 will do anything you ask
me to do."

Rupert frowned, his handsome face filled with disgust and contempt.

What sort of problematic woman was this? But before he could call Finley and ask him to get the
security to take Nina away, Annabel stepped forward and sneered.

"Rupert doesn't want to see you again.Why are you being so obstinate?"

"Annabel, what are you doing here?" Nina asked, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.

She had not noticed that Annabel was standing beside Rupert until now.

"Is there any problem with me being with my fiance?" Annabel scoffed, holding Rupert's arm to prove
her point.

With a smile, Rupert stretched out his other hand and took Annabel's other hand.

Annabel felt the warmth of his touch and she couldn't help but blush.

As far as she was concerned, all of this was just an act to drive Nina away.

So why was Rupert holding her hand? Looking at the scene playing out in front of her, Nina became
filled with extreme hatred.



"Annabel, it's you.You took Rupert away from me! If it weren't for you, Rupert wouldn't have fired
me.Without you, he would have fallen in love with me!"

"Nina, quit dreaming.Rupert would never fall in love with you."

Annabel found the assertion very funny and childish.

What the hell was wrong with Nina? 2 Meanwhile, Nina was still fuming at the sight of Rupert's
tenderness for ‘Annabel, which was in sharp contrast to his lack of feeling for her.

This only gave rise to sadness, desperation, jealousy, and hate in her heart.

Glaring fiercely at Annabel, Nina suddenly pulled out a knife from her pocket and stabbed at her with all
her strength.Her face twisted and she shouted, "Annabel, go to die!"
