Chapter 55:
It was a French song, soft and mesmerizing. The melody was intoxicating.
In the VIP box on the second floor, the tall, straight figure of a man sat half-hidden in the dim light. His eyes were fixed intently on the beautiful young woman singing on the stage.
Rupert had come here to discuss business with a client, but he had not expected to see Annabel.
He remembered that Annabel had an appointment with someone at this bar, and his expression darkened.
So the person she was meeting was Marcel.
Noticing the gloom on Rupert’s face, the client said, “Mr. Benton, please try this beer. It’s the latest special from Charming Bar. It tastes really good p>
Rupert glanced at the beer, irritation simmering inside him. He wondered if Annabel had any idea what she was doing.
Officially, she was his fiancée, yet here she was in a bar with another man, singing just for him.
Rupert’s face grew even darker with anger, while his client sat there in confusion, wondering if he had said something wrong to upset him.
When Annabel finished singing the song, thunderous applause resounded through the bar. Someone even started chanting, “One more song! One more song p>
With a polite smile, Annabel stepped down and went back to Marcel’s table.
“Annabel, you sing so well. It’s the sound of nature. You sing far better than Angel!” Marcel praised.
“You flatter me too much,” Annabel said with a grin. “Please excuse me. I want to go to the bathroom p>
Perhaps it was because she had drunk her wine a little too quickly that she felt discomfort in her stomach.
As she approached the bathroom door, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes stopped her. “Are you a new singer here?” he asked.
Annabel looked up at him and saw that he was a middle-aged man with a beer belly. Wearing such an expensive designer suit did not seem appropriate for someone like him. At first glance, he looked just like an upstart.

With an expressionless face, Annabel shook her head and said, “I’m not p>
The man grabbed her arm and shoved a stack of money into her hand. He looked her up and down with lust-filled eyes and licked his lips. “Come on, beauty, just stay with me for one night. All this money will be yours p>
When he had seen her singing on the stage earlier, he had been fascinated and had wanted to kiss her.
He hadn’t expected to meet her at the bathroom. He swallowed and stared straight at her chest, filthy thoughts running through his mind.
With a frown, Annabel took a few steps back and threw the stack of money at him. “Get out of my way!” she said angrily.
Seeing that Annabel rejected his offer, the man pulled a long face. “Aren’t you just a singer at the bar? Don’t you mean to seduce men? You’re fortunate that I chose you p>
Annabel could hardly believe her ears. How could such a disgusting man feel so good about himself?
She took a few more steps back and warned, “If you don’t leave now, I’ll teach you a lesson p>
But the man had no intention of leaving. He grabbed her shoulders with both hands and yanked her into his arms.
