Chapter 181:
To prevent what had happened last time from repeating itself, Rory ordered the owner of the restaurant not to let anyone in.
“What would you like to have, Annabel? They make the best steak here. You should try it,” Rory said in a mellow voice, handing Annabel the menu.
Annabel leafed through the menu and said absentmindedly, “I’ll have steak then p>
“Annabel, is anything the matter? You don’t seem happy. Is it because of what happened to Nina?” Rory asked with concern when he noticed the gloom on her face.
“Not at all.” Annabel flashed a cold, faint smile. “I don’t care about that trifle p>
“Why, then, are you in a bad mood?” Rory asked again.
He had noticed that her mood seemed off since the morning.
Since it was not because of what happened at Lover Lake, why was she unhappy?

Instead of answering the question, Annabel changed the topic. “By the way, didn’t you say that you made the company’s future development plan? Let’s have a look together p>

“Fuck off!” Rupert roared, exuding a cold and intimidating aura.
A cold shiver ran down the owner’s spine when he saw the fire in Rupert’s eyes. “Mr. Benton p>
Only then did he realize who was standing before him.
This was Rupert Benton—a very powerful man. He could not afford to offend him.
The next second, the owner opened the door and hurriedly stepped aside, trembling in fear.
The roar from outside interrupted the discussion Annabel was having with Rory. She turned to the door, only to see Rupert walking toward her with a long face.
She quickly put away the iPad and was about to say something, but Rupert beat her to it. “Take your things, Annabel. We are leaving now p>
Annabel turned a deaf ear to him. She picked up her cutlery and began to eat the steak.
In a fit of pique, Rupert grabbed her left hand, causing the fork to fall onto the plate. “Let’s go p>
