Who Is The Real Boss?

Annie scanned the bar and discovered Annabel sitting in the corner.

However, her companion wasn't a man but a rather familiar woman.

After staring at the woman for a while, Annie finally remembered that the woman was Anika—the person in charge of Leo Studio.

Back when Benton Group was involved in a plagiarism scandal, Anika stepped forward to testify for Annabel and proved Marilyn was guilty of the act.

What was the relationship between Anika and Annabel? Didn't they say Annabel was merely a bumpkin from the countryside? Why was she with Anika? The two of them conversed and giggled, as if they were always on good terms.

Annie was slightly confused.

She quietly sat somewhere not too far away from them both and heard that Annabel would be attending tomorrow's charity auction.

Charity auction? Annie flashed a devious smile before quickly sending Heather a message.

"Annabel will be attending Leo Studio's charity auction tomorrow."

Heather soon replied, "You get ready."

After a few glasses of wine, Annabel began to feel slightly tipsy.

Anika stopped Annabel from taking another sip of her wine and said, "Don't drink.Come over to my place for a nap."

"Okay."

Exhausted, Annabel rubbed her temples.

Feeling slightly drunk, she stood up and walked to the door with Anika.

Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

Annie? Annabel frowned, wondering whether or not it was a coincidence bumping into Annie at the bar.

After a night's rest at Anika’s place, Annabel woke up at noon the next day.

As she massaged the space between her eyebrows, she saw Anika's message.

"I'm going to prepare for the charity dinner.There's breakfast in the kitchen that you could heat up.I've also sent you Leo Studio's new product launch for the next season.See you tonight."
