Who Is The Real Boss?

Chapter 25 Overstepping Boundaries

"There’s a new task for you, Annabel.Our company is cooperating with Lady Fashion for next season.You will be responsible for the project."

Jealousy flickered in Nina's eyes as she spoke.

She handed a few documents to Annabel and continued, "These documents contain all the needed information about the project.Take a look at them quickly."

"Okay," said Annabel as she took over the documents.

She then turned around and returned to her desk.

Nina scowled with jealousy as she stared at Annabel’s back.She had been in charge of the project.

However, Rupert called her to his office this morning and ordered her to give Annabel the project.She couldn't understand why.

What was so good about that hillbilly? Was it because she was Rupert's fiancee? Just as Nina was fuming, a text message came through.

"How far with the task I gave you the last time?"

The message was from Heather.

Nina thought for a while and soon replied, "Don't worry.I'm on it.That bumpkin will be ousted this time."

Heather replied simply, "Do it ASAP!"

She was running out of patience.Her ploy to frame Annabel as a thief had failed.

Annabel had not only proved her innocence but also made Heather seem like a fool.

Heather wouldn't want to lose to Annabel again.

Clenching the phone in her hand, Heather said with an evil expression, "Just wait and see, Annabel.You'll weep buckets by the time I'm done with you."

Annabel spent the entire day studying the documents Nina handed to her.

The project was about the launch of a new series of jewelry for the next season by Benton Group in collaboration with Lady Fashion.

It was already at the design stage.

All Annabel needed to do was check out the progress and point out any discrepancies.It was a piece of cake.

When Annabel got back from work, she saw that her belongings were no longer in Rupert's room; they had been moved to a guest room on the first floor.
