Chapter 217:
Dinner?
It occurred to Annabel that she hadn’t eaten yet that evening.
But how did Rupert know that she hadn’t had dinner yet? And he had even brought her dinner in person!
“Open it,” Rupert said with a tender smile.
Annabel opened the lunch box and was greeted by the rich fragrance of the food. It was filled with all her favorite dishes.
“Where did you get this?” Annabel sniffed appreciatively. She had been so lost in her work that she had forgotten to have dinner. As soon as she caught the scent of the food, her stomach rumbled.
Rupert watched her with a smile, his thin lips quirking up slightly as he replied, “I cooked for you p>
He knew that once Annabel started working, dinner would slip her mind. After work, he had gone home to cook dinner himself and then returned to the company to deliver it to her.
Warmth coursed through Annabel’s body. She smiled and said, “Thank you p>
“Taste it.” Rupert sat down next to Annabel and watched her wolf down the food. He couldn’t stop the soft smile that lit up his face.
“It’s delicious.” Annabel nodded and praised the food truthfully.
Her phone rang at that moment. She looked down and saw that Rory was calling her.
When Rupert saw the name Rory on Annabel’s phone screen, his handsome face darkened.
Annabel ignored Rupert and answered the phone. “Rory, what’s the matter p>

“Hi, Annabel.” Rory’s voice brimmed with concern. “I saw the news about Love Jewelry today. I know it’s put you in a bad spot. But don’t worry. I will testify on your behalf to prove that you didn’t plagiarize the designs p>
When Rory was shooting the advertisement, samples of the Ice and Fire pieces had been used in the shoot. As a result, he could prove that the samples were produced long before yesterday, when the news about Love Jewelry came out. Brett, Margo, and the others could also testify.
But Love Jewelry would anticipate this and prepare themselves thoroughly to attack Benton Group.
Annabel knew it would not be easy to prove Love Jewelry’s plagiarism at the press conference that would be held in two days.
With a small smile, she said, “Thank you. I can take care of it myself. Right now, I’m more concerned about how my design was leaked p>
Not many people knew about the Ice and Fire collection, but it wasn’t just a handful either.
Bernice, Brett and his assistant, the photographer, the spokespeople, and even some senior leaders of the company had seen the Ice and Fire samples. In other words, any of these people might be responsible for leaking the design concepts of Ice and Fire.
