Who Is The Real Boss?

"Open it," Rupert smiled and said in a tender voice.

Annabel opened the lunch box and was greeted with the fragrance of the food.

The lunch box was filled with all her favorite dishes.

"Where did you get this?"

Annabel sniffed appreciatively.She had been so lost in her work that she had forgotten to have dinner.

As soon as she caught scent of the food, her stomach rumbled.

Rupert watched her with a smile.His thin lips quirked up slightly as he replied, "I cooked for you."He knew that once Annabel started working, dinner would slip her mind.

After work, he went back home to cook dinner himself and returned to the company to deliver it to her.

Warmth coursed through Annabel’s body.She smiled and said, "Thank you!"

"Taste it."

Rupert sat down next to Annabel and watched her wolf down the food.He couldn't stop the soft smile that lit up his face.

"It’s delicious." Annabel nodded and praised the food truthfully.Her phone rang at that moment.She looked down and saw that Rory was calling her.

When Rupert saw the name Rory on Annabel's phone screen, his handsome face darkened.

Annabel ignored Rupert and answered the phone.

"Rory, what's the matter?"

"Hi, Annabel." Rory's voice brimmed with concern.

"I saw the news about Love Jewelry today.I know it's put you in a bad spot.But don't worry.I will testify on your behalf to prove that you didn't plagiarize the designs."

When Rory was shooting the advertisement, the samples of Ice and Fire pieces were used in the shoot.

As a result, he could prove that the samples were produced long before yesterday, when the news about Love Jewelry came out.
