Chapter 112:
He knew she didn’t like the smell of cigarettes.
“Annabel, why are you hiding from me? Why didn’t you answer my phone calls? Why didn’t you reply to my e-mails?” Rory asked, staring at her with sadness in his eyes.
“Sorry. I’ve been very busy these days. I haven’t checked my e-mails for some time now,” Annabel said with a smile.
But she knew what the contents of those e-mails would be, even without reading them.
In the last two years, Rory had written her numerous love letters. But she was just not interested in him.
For Annabel, Rory was just a good partner at work and a wonderful friend, but they would never be lovers. He was simply not her type.
“Really?” Rory asked with a frown.
Annabel nodded hurriedly, then asked the question that had been nagging at her mind. “Aren’t you supposed to be abroad? Why did you suddenly come back? Business? Or is it something personal p>
“If I didn’t come back, you would become someone else’s wife,” Rory told her straightforwardly.
Looking at the girl he had been in love with for the last two years, Rory became overwhelmed with emotion.
Two years ago, Kelly Group encountered a financial crisis, and the entertainment company under the group was in danger of closing down. Rory became depressed.
By chance, he met Annabel.
Back then, she was still studying in France. She was very interested in the entertainment industry, so she invested in Kelly Group and established Star Entertainment.
To the public, Rory was the boss and founder of Star Entertainment.
Only a few of the senior executives in the company knew that Annabel was in fact the brain behind it.

During that period, it was Annabel who encouraged Rory and cheered him up, enabling them to save Kelly Group from collapse and put it back on track.
It was also Annabel who encouraged him to shoot more movies and even gave him a lot of resources, making him the popular movie legend that he was now.
All these memories made Rory’s heart beat faster with emotion.
He stepped forward and looked into her eyes. “Annabel, are you engaged to Rupert p>
Annabel sighed deeply. She just didn’t know how she could explain it to him.
In the past, she had made it clear to him that they were not meant for each other. But Rory refused to listen and had even said, “Even though you don’t love me, you can’t stop me from loving you p>
After thinking for a while, Annabel said slowly, “It’s a little complicated. It’s not something that can be explained in a few words. How about this? Let’s make an appointment and have a good discussion p>
“I just need an answer, Annabel. Are you engaged to Rupert? Yes or no?” Rory insisted.
“Yes,” Annabel nodded.
