Who Is The Real Boss?

There was no signal in the middle of the sea.

Annabel wasn't sure whether the distress signal would reach her grandfather.

"Of course he'll receive it," Rupert said reassuringly, as though he read her mind.

Truth be told, Rupert had never seen such a signal transmitter before.

Was Annabel's grandfather really just an old man from the countryside? How could he have given Annabel something so high- tech? There was a trace of curiosity in Rupert's eyes as he looked at the woman in front of him.

It seemed that there was more to his fiancee than met the eye.

But he decided against asking her about it.

It was better if Annabel took the initiative to tell him.

What he liked was her, not her identity or her family background.

And now wasn't the time to think about these things.

They were getting closer and closer to the sea surface.

Annabel craned her neck to look around, and she found that there were a few small islands in the distance.

Her eyes lit up excitedly.

Before she could tell Rupert her findings, he spoke first.

"Anna, look over there! It's an island!"

"Yes!"

Annabel nodded.

"I was just about to point it out!"

Chuckling softly, Rupert whispered in her ear, "It seems we have a connection..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he nibbled on her earlobe playfully.

A wave of electricity spread out from her earlobe, making her body go limp.

Annabel's cheeks turned as red as tomatoes.

How could he still flirt with her at a time like this? "Stop it."

She turned her head to look at the island in the distance.

If there was fresh water on the island, they would have a chance at survival.

But she didn't know how long it would take for them to swim to the island from here.

Could the food Rupert packed be enough for them? Would her grandfather receive her distress signal and save her? Annabel was in deep thought when Rupert's voice suddenly pulled her back to reality.

"Can you swim?"

"Yeah."

Annabel nodded.
