Who Is The Real Boss?

The moment Rupert finished speaking, he approached Annabel.He offered her his hand and asked politely, "May I?"

He looked like Prince Charming, and Annabel was entranced.

She couldn't refuse his offer to dance.

"Of course," Annabel replied with a smile and placed her hand in his.

Rupert led Annabel to the dance floor.

As they moved in harmony with the music, they hardly seemed to touch the ground.It was their first dance, but they fit perfectly together.Their coordination seemed effortless.It was as if they had been partners for years.

"Annabel, are we in sync?"

Rupert bowed his head and spoke quietly so that only his partner could hear.

"We're okay," Annabel replied.

"But your steps are a bit too quick.Slow down a little."

Rupert leaned even closer and whispered in her ear, "I wasn't talking about the dance."

His breath was warm against the side of her face, and she felt an indescribable itch.She grew hot in the face.She and Rupert were indeed on good terms.

Many things had happened in the past month.

Nina had wronged Annabel for pushing her into the water.

Annabel had found the recording and exposed Nina, while Rupert found the video to reveal her crime.This afternoon's press conference was another example.

In response to Marilyn's accusation of plagiarism, Annabel called Anika to prove that she was the designer of Ice and Fire, and Rupert discovered that it was Archie who had stolen and sold Annabel's designs to Marilyn.

They worked so well together, it was as if fate intended them to be connected.

"We are in sync," Annabel conceded with a smile.

Rupert's heart was warmed by Annabel's words, and his expression softened involuntarily.

In his most tender tone, he asked, "Since we're so in sync, would you reconsider my proposal?"
