Chapter 7
Chapter 7:
Annabel walked up to him and extended her hand for a handshake. “Welcome, Mr. Brooks. I’m Annabel Hewitt, the person in charge of the shoot. It’s my pleasure to meet you p>
Marcel didn’t take her hand or exchange pleasantries. He just complained with a frown, “It’s so hot. Why didn’t you bring an umbrella? Anyway, is everything all set? I don’t have time to waste. By the way, buy me a cup of coffee before we begin anything. Don’t get me a cheap one. I want one from that café downtown. They make the best p>
Marcel’s words trailed off when he finally looked at the woman’s face. His jaw dropped.
“Holy moly! Annabel! Am I dreaming p>
Marcel took off his sunglasses and still looked incredulous.
He hugged Annabel excitedly.
“Annabel? Why are you here? You work here? When did that happen? Shouldn’t you be traveling around the world now p>
Annabel stroked Marcel’s head and said with a smile, “Marc, long time no see. What did you say you wanted to drink again p>
“Nothing! I didn’t say anything. What would you like to drink? I can get it for you p>
Everyone present was dumbfounded, to say the least.
The ever-so-arrogant Marcel not only hugged Annabel but was also speaking to her politely. He even allowed her to stroke his head.
Was this really Marcel, or some clone who was passing himself off as him?
Could it be that he was so respectful because Annabel was Rupert’s fiancée?
But he was usually arrogant even in Rupert’s presence. What was going on?
The truth was that Annabel and Marcel had met two years ago.
At that time, Marcel was seventeen. He had been filming in the countryside, very close to Annabel’s home.
Some thugs kidnapped him. Fortunately, Annabel saved him by chance.
Marcel had fearfully watched her beat up the kidnappers so easily. He had thought he was going to die in captivity, but she had come to his rescue like a superwoman.
She had invited him to her home. Much to his surprise, her home was even bigger than the mansion in Downton Abbey.

It turned out that she was not only kind but also well-to-do. He couldn’t help but hold her in high esteem.
The two walked into Benton Group, and the shooting went on smoothly.
Some of the clothes weren’t to Marcel’s taste. He complained about them, but when Annabel said that they were good, he immediately changed his opinion.
He set aside his nitpicking attitude just because of her. Whenever he went out of line, a single glance from Annabel brought him to order.
Marcel was intimidated by her. Aside from the fact that he respected her for saving his life, he feared that she would spank him if he annoyed her. It had been estimated that the shoot would take five hours because of Marcel’s attitude, but it took only two.
Once it ended, Marcel pulled Annabel aside and said, “Let’s go. We have a lot of catching up to do. I’ll treat you to dinner p>
“No, I can’t. I’m not off duty yet,” Annabel refused him coldly.
Some of the employees were still on the set. They pretended to be busy, but they gossiped about the two on the spot.
“What? Marcel offered to buy Annabel dinner, but she turned him down p>
“Holy moly! What is she thinking? Doesn’t she know who he is? Many girls would jump at the offer. How can she be so arrogant p>
