Who Is The Real Boss?

The mention of Rupert ignited the irritation Annabel was trying so hard to drown.She slammed the glass on the table and said, "Can you not talk about him?"

"Oh, it seems I guessed right." Anika chuckled.

"No offense but, you are being too hard on him.Judging by the things I heard about him while I was abroad, he's a good man.And I'm more convinced of it after seeing him today."

"What did you hear about him?" Annabel sucked her teeth at the thought of what Rupert said to her in the elevator.

"He's tall, handsome, rich, and powerful.If you ask me, you guys are a perfect match," Anika teased, pouring her another glass.

Annabel drank it up in one gulp and spat, "Tacky!"

"I disagree!" Anika coughed.

"That wasn't what I thought when I saw you two at the press conference.You looked like a match made in heaven.Don't tell me you have no feelings for him after living with him for weeks."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Annabel leaned back and took a deep breath.

"I don't feel a thing for him, and I don’t think it would ever happen.My grandfather insisted I come here to stay with him for three months.We have already agreed that the engagement will be called off once the time elapses."

Anika shrugged and said, "In that case, let's make a bet."

"On what?"

Annabel inquired indifferently.A mischievous smirk sat on Anika's face.

"Let’s bet on whether you and Rupert will break off the engagement.If you lose, you have to give me your handmade necklace.What do you say?"

Anika always wanted the necklace.

Annabel was excellent at fashion designing, computer hacking, and she could even make necklaces like a pro.

This condition of hers only emphasized that she was convinced Rupert was the man for Annabel.

"You won't be getting the necklace from me, then!"

Annabel smiled confidently.

"Enough about me.Tell me about you.Where's Jared?"
