Who Is The Real Boss?

Chapter 65 Not As Good As Rory

When Rupert heard what Annabel had to say about him, he was furious.She said he was stingy, short-tempered, irritable, and annoying.

Was this Annabel's evaluation of him? Other people saw him as a winner, an invincible person of privilege with an unattainable lifestyle.

Why did Annabel believe he was bad? How could she think Rory was better? "Rupert, why are you here?"

Surprised, Annabel stood up and studied the sullen man.She wondered whether he heard her conversation with her grandfather.

If Rupert heard what she said, he would be furious.

"Let's go home," Rupert said flatly.

Go home? What did Rupert mean? Did he want her to go home with him? Thinking of the embarrassing situation that day, Annabel shook her head.

"You can leave, but I have to work overtime.I won't be going home tonight."

"Have you forgotten that you're hypoglycemic? What if you faint again? I don't want to be calling a doctor for you in the middle of the night," Rupert said, squinting.

Did she feel she had to work all night just to avoid him? Even at the cost of her health? Did she dislike him that much? Annabel felt embarrassed when Rupert reminded her.

"I won't faint again.It was an accident.Can you stop talking about it, please?"

"Let's go."

Rupert checked his watch. It was already midnight.

"As your boss, I order you to finish work and go home now."

His tone was so domineering that she could not argue.

Well, it was true that Annabel worked all night to avoid Rupert.

But it seemed that he wouldn't leave unless she left with him.

Rain was pouring from the sky.

Sitting in Rupert's car, Annabel watched the raindrops snake down the windshield as her thoughts drifted.She had been in Douburgh for almost a month.She had promised her grandfather that she would spend time with Rupert for three months.She thought she could leave after that.

After all, she and Rupert disliked each other.
