Who Is The Real Boss?

Chapter 139 I'm Fine As Long As You Are 

Rupert tried to enter the ladies' room, but the door was locked.

"Annabel? Are you in there? What happened?"

Rupert's voice was deep with emotion.

No one answered.

Worried about Annabel's safety, Rupert threw himself against the door until it opened.

The moment he was through, Rupert noticed the two injured men on the floor.

With her arms crossed over her chest, Annabel was looking down at Annie, who was lying on the floor.

"Annabel, what happened?" Rupert asked, baffled, as he strode to her.

He thought Annabel was hurt, but it seemed she managed to defend herself just fine.

"Oh, nothing."

Annabel lightly dismissed his question as she turned to face him.

"What happened to your neck?"

Rupert asked, looking at the red mark that Annie's knife had made.

The mark was thin.

Only someone looking very carefully would notice it.

Annabel hadn't even noticed until Rupert mentioned it.

Once she knew it was there, it stung.

She touched her neck to check the damage and shrugged.

"It's nothing."

"Let me take you to the hospital,"

Rupert offered, feeling sorry for her.

"No, it's just a little scrape.It'll be healed in a few days."

Annabel rubbed her forehead, attempting to clear her thoughts.
