Who Is The Real Boss?

"I know you have feelings for me, Rupert."

Heather lost her cool and leaned on Rupert, rubbing her bosom on him.

Rupert ignored her, and the corner of his eye was fixed on Annabel.

The sight of Rupert and Heather embracing each other on the dance floor made Annabel sick to her stomach.

Rolling her eyes, she stood up and walked to the door.

"Annabel, where are you off to?" Rory followed her in a hurry.

Annabel halted in her tracks and reluctantly turned to look at him.

"I'm not feeling well.I want to be alone."

With that, she walked out of the hall.

Rory's heart sank as he stared at her receding figure.

Was her sudden ill health because of Rupert? Rory saw the way Annabel's face changed when Rupert and Heather went to the dance floor together.

Although Annabel never admitted it, Rory had a hunch that she had feelings for Rupert.

Annabel always said she disliked Rupert and couldn't wait to break off the engagement, but why was she upset upon seeing him dancing with Heather? The realization made Rory sad.

As he stood there, feeling dejected, Bella walked up to him and greeted him with feigned surprise.

"What a coincidence!"

Bella had been staring at him for ages.She couldn't take her eyes off him all evening.She had been calculating how to strike up a conversation with him, so she took the chance as soon as she saw him standing alone.

Rory glanced at her coldly.

"Oh, it’s you!"

"Yes, it's me.Do you remember me?" Bella reached out her hand.

"May I have this dance?"

"No, you can't."
