Who Is The Real Boss?

Confused, Annabel took the elevator to Rupert's office.Her heart shook unexplainably as she recalled Rupert's icy countenance.She took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

"Please come in." Rupert spoke softly.

Annabel pushed the door open and went in.

Rupert sat at his desk, a document in his hand.His every gesture was exquisite and aristocratic, and his powerful aura exuded an unfathomable sensation of tyranny as if he had was to be king.

"Why were you looking for me, Rupert?" Annabel asked flatly.

Hearing her voice, Rupert raised his head to glare at her, then he asked coldly, "Where have you been?"

Rupert had gone to the secretarial department after the meeting ended but didn't see Annabel.He asked her colleagues about her whereabouts and was informed that she had left.She left the office without his permission during working hours.

"The samples of the Ice and Fire series have been produced.I went to Imperial Hotel to show them to Mr.McCoy," Annabel answered indifferently.

"Really? So why didn't you show me the samples first?" Rupert's attractive face was a bit cold.He looked at her curiously.He had the impression that Annabel was avoiding him these days.

Annabel felt a little uneasy meeting his intense gaze and looked =] away.She smiled slightly and remarked, "Because you didn't ask me to show them to you."

"So you decided on your own? Don't you realize that one of your responsibilities as a project director is to update your boss on how things are going?"

Rupert narrowed his eyes and stated in a tone that was both icy and tinged with fury.

Annabel didn't even report to him because she was avoiding him.

"I don't think it is necessary to bother you with such trivial matters.After all, the Ice and Fire project is a small one for Benton Group.In addition, I asked Mr.McCoy for his opinion.If there is an issue, I will notify you after the changes are made."

Annabel's response was neither humble nor demanding.She was right.

Jewelry was not Benton Group's core business, and Rupert had never given it much attention.But, since Annabel took over the Ice and Fire project, he couldn't help but be interested in it.He didn’t want to admit that all he cared about was Annabel.
