Chapter 182
Chapter 182:
Rory stood up and said, “What’s wrong with you, Rupert? Leave her be p>
“Stay out of this, Rory!” Rupert snapped. He pushed him back down into his seat. Afterward, he pulled Annabel up roughly.
“Let go of me, Rupert! Can’t you see that I’m having dinner?” Annabel shook off his hand.
“I’ll take you to have a better steak somewhere else,” Rupert offered despite his fury.
Annabel did not take him up on it. She said coldly, “The food here is good. I’d rather eat here. If you don’t have anything else to say, please use the door. Don’t disturb Rory and me while we dine p>
Rupert’s face fell when he heard this. His anger quadrupled. “Need I remind you who you are?” Rupert asked, fuming.
This woman had gone too far. How could she have a dinner date with another man when she was already engaged?
Didn’t she take him seriously as her fiancé?
“Need I remind you that it’s only a three-month contract?” Annabel shot back, pursing her lips.
A three-month contract?
When Rory heard this, a flash of ecstasy appeared in his eyes. Did that mean Annabel and Rupert did not love each other at all?
So, he still had a chance.
A vibrant energy filled Rory at the thought. He stood up, stepped forward, and tried to pull Rupert away. “You heard her. She doesn’t want to go with you, so leave p>
Rupert sneered. “Rory, you are wooing your boss, aren’t you? Why are you so concerned about Annabel now? Don’t tell me you are a two-timer p>
Rory’s face darkened. He fixed his eyes on Annabel and said, “My boss is p>
Sensing that he might expose her true identity, Annabel’s heart began to race. She quickly said, “Rory, I’ll make it up to you some other time. You should go back home p>

“No way!” Rory took her hand. “Since we came here together, we should leave together p>
He could not leave Annabel alone with Rupert.
Annabel pulled back her hand and smiled. “You don’t have to look out for me. I can handle it. Just go first, okay p>
“No, I won’t! I’ll either stay or leave with you!” Rory insisted. How could he leave first in such a situation?
Annabel became impatient. “Just leave! Can’t I ask you for a simple favor p>
Rory’s heart ached at her impatient shout.
He knew she was dead serious now, and that she never changed her mind once it was set on something.
Rory took a look at her and said helplessly, “Fine. Just be careful p>
With that, he turned around and left.
Rupert stared at Rory’s back until he went out of sight.
