Chapter 118:
“Sorry, I shouldn’t have watched that clip during working hours,” Annabel apologized.
Rupert’s face tightened into a frown. “Then you must have seen that Rory has a girl he loves p>
“So what? Why should that concern me?” Annabel retorted.
Rupert cast her a serious look and said coldly, “So, don’t develop any improper desire for him. It would be best if you remembered who you are at the moment p>
Improper desire?
What on earth did Rupert mean by that?
Did it look like she had any kind of desire, proper or improper, for Rory?
If anything, it was Rory who had improper feelings for her.
But Annabel had every right to keep that from Rupert.
After gathering her thoughts, Annabel pursed her lips and replied firmly, “Please don’t assume anything malicious about me, Rupert. I don’t have that kind of relationship with them, not with Marcel and not with Rory p>
“That’s good, then p>
A faint sense of satisfaction rose in Rupert’s heart at her words.
He slowly leaned closer to Annabel, an unreadable light in his eyes. “Remember, Anna. You are my fiancée p>
Annabel felt her heartbeat quicken as Rupert’s handsome face moved closer and closer to hers.
Fiancée? As far as she knew, she was only his fiancée in name.
She felt the urge to deny it, but instead she replied lightly, “Alright, then p>
Rupert’s face kept drawing nearer, and his lips were just about to touch hers.
As Annabel stared at the breathtakingly handsome face approaching her, her heart began to race.

“Rupert p>
A sudden, abrupt voice shattered the charged atmosphere.
Annabel quickly shoved Rupert away and sat up straight.
She was secretly annoyed. Why did her face feel so hot?
Why hadn’t she pushed Rupert away earlier? Had she really been captivated by his gorgeous looks?
She raised her eyes to look at the unexpected guest. It was none other than Cathy.
With furrowed brows, Annabel wondered what Cathy was going to do.
Wearing high heels, Cathy walked in. She shot Annabel a glare, then turned her attention to Rupert. Suppressing the jealousy that overwhelmed her, she asked, “Rupert, did I disturb you p>
Rupert frowned slightly. The warmth that had just lit up his eyes was instantly replaced by coldness.
He looked at Cathy with narrowed eyes and asked, “Why are you here p>
“Rupert, how is your hand? I brought you some ointment. It’s very effective.” As Cathy spoke, she took a tube of ointment from her bag and handed it to Rupert.
