Who Is The Real Boss?

Chapter 54 Running Into An Old Friend Seeing

Rupert's long face, Annabel finally gave in, albeit reluctantly.

"Okay, fine.You're the boss."

After all, she was now an employee of Benton Group, and Rupert was the president.

If he asked her to stay and work overtime, she had to do as he said.

That was the law of the office jungle.

As soon as she left Rupert's office, Annabel called Marcel to cancel their dinner plan.

Marcel sounded very disappointed.

"Annabel, didn’t you just say yes a while ago? How come you're suddenly unavailable?"

"I'm really sorry, Marcel.Something urgent came up.We'll go out some other time, my treat."

Annabel felt helpless.If it weren't for Rupert, she wouldn't have needed to work overtime.

With a resigned sigh, she returned to her seat and went over the plan again carefully.She hadn't even started revising it when she suddenly received a call from Rupert.

"Yes?" Annabel picked up the phone promptly.

Rupert's magnetic voice sounded from the other end of the line.

"Didn't you say that you'd send me the minutes of the meeting? I've been waiting for them for half an hour."

Seriously? Only half an hour? When would this man quit playing tricks with her? Did he have a grudge against her or something? Annabel closed her eyes and cursed him silently.

Out loud, she said through gritted teeth, "I haven't finished it yet."

"What have you been doing with your time?" Rupert snapped impatiently.

Annabel took a deep breath to calm herself down.It worked somewhat.

"I'll show you the minutes of the meeting and the plan once I'm done," she said flatly.

"Fine." Rupert pursed his lips.

It was time to get off work, but Annabel was still forced to stay.She sorted out the meeting minutes and perfected the plan.

When she was sure that everything was good, Annabel took them to the CEO's office.
