Who Is The Real Boss?

Rupert didn't show respect to Cody at all, and the latter couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

But he couldn't let Rupert know that he was annoyed, so he forced a smile and said, "Rupert, please understand that your mother and I are doing this for Benton Group.We hope you won't regret this."

Robert snorted and said nothing more on the matter.

Cody stood there awkwardly for a bit before finally excusing himself.

After he left, Rupert pursed his lips and fell into deep thought.He had always respected Cody, but now, he was getting more and more confused about this man.

As soon as Annabel returned to her desk, she urged the person in charge of the jewelry factory in Douburgh to send the test results to her as soon as possible.

Half an hour later, the results were emailed to her.

As expected, there was no problem with the Ice and Fire jewelry produced by their factory in Douburgh.

Annabel breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the problem lay solely in the French factory.

She sorted out the documents as quickly as she could and then printed them out for Rupert.

The press conference this afternoon was critical, and these documents were paramount.

Just as she reached the door to the CEO's office, Annabel ran into Cody again.

He was walking out of the CEO's office with an angry look.

When he saw Annabel, his expression darkened further.

"Mr.Wagner,"

Annabel greeted Cody with a polite smile.

Cody forced a smile in return and then left quickly.

Shrugging it off, Annabel knocked on the door.

"May I come in?"

Rupert looked up and smiled.

"Of course."

Annabel stepped inside the CEO's office, only to find Rupert holding the bottle of cold medicine she had given him.

His clear eyes were staring at the medicine bottle in his hand, and there was a faint smile that tugged at the corners of his thin lips.
