Chapter 64
Chapter 64:
Nina was so jealous of her right now. She gritted her teeth in impotent rage as she watched Annabel walk gracefully toward the door.
Right then and there, she vowed to herself that Annabel would not be proud and complacent for long.
Meanwhile, Annabel went to the pantry to get a cup of latte and then took it straight to the CEO’s office.
Standing in front of the office door, Annabel thought of Rupert’s handsome face, which made her heartbeat quicken.
She managed to compose herself and knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Rupert called in an icy tone.
Annabel pushed the door open and walked in. She put the coffee on his table and said, “Your coffee p>
Rupert narrowed his eyes and fixed them on Annabel.
Last night, he had been drunk and thought he had seen Candy.
He thought that Candy had come back.
But when he woke up this morning, it was Cathy who was sitting on his bed. She claimed she had brought him to his room the previous night. But Cathy wasn’t Candy.

Who was Candy?
Annabel snapped, “Rupert, enough! Let go of my hand! Who the hell is Candy p>
Her attitude was like ice-cold water poured over Rupert. It instantly extinguished his enthusiasm.

He picked up the button and asked, “Why was my button in your possession p>
Annabel rubbed her aching hand and said angrily, “You were drunk last night. You were lying on the floor and refused to get up. I must have pulled the button off accidentally when I carried you upstairs p>
Rupert’s eyebrows shot up. “So, you were the one who took me back to my room last night p>
“Yes. But later, Cathy said she wanted to carry you. You two seem to be really close,” Annabel said with a meaningful look.
She wished Rupert could understand her insinuation.
