Who Is The Real Boss?

Chapter 16 His Admirers

The whimpers of the dog pulled Annabel's attention away from the familiar woman. She rushed it to the vet.

Its front leg had been hit by the car before she got it out of the way.

As Annabel waited in the waiting room, she saw from the clock that she was almost running late for work.

She thought for a while before dialing Rupert's number.

"What's up?" Rupert's low and cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ermm. I just called to inform you that something came up. I'll be some hours late this morning." Annabel asked for permission for late coming. “And how is that my business? You don't have to inform me about such a trifle!" Rupert uttered irritably.

The next second, the call was disconnected.

Annabel pursed her lips. She wondered why he was behaving indifferent, yet so angry. Perhaps he was still not in a good mood.

Anyway, she had done her part by informing him. The vet examined the dog carefully and reported that it was just a small wound that would heal in no time.

"Oh, that's good to know, but can it be admitted here for further observation?" Annabel was still a little worried.
