Chapter 72:
After making sure everything was in order, Annabel stood up and got ready to go to the airport.
But as she went out to take the elevator, she saw that the doors were about to close. She rushed over, shouting, “Wait for me, please p>
A tall figure walked over and put out his foot to keep the doors open.
“Thank you so much,” Annabel said gratefully. But when she looked up at the person’s face, she was stunned. It was Rupert.
Why was he here?
She was surprised by the fact that he had even kept the elevator doors open for her.
Seeing the surprised look on her face, Rupert said in a low tone, “Come in quickly p>
“Oh, thank you,” Annabel said with a smile and stepped into the elevator.
Rupert quickly followed her in.
“I’ll go to the airport with you,” Rupert said flatly when he noticed Annabel’s confused look.
Annabel was surprised. “Don’t worry, I’ll go alone,” she said quickly.
How could Rupert go with her to pick someone up at the airport? He was a busy CEO, for crying out loud.

Annabel nodded in understanding and said nothing. In silence, they rode the elevator all the way to the underground garage.

“Thank you,” Annabel said with a smile and settled down in the passenger seat, fastening her seat belt.
Rupert then got in and started the car. With his slender fingers gripping the steering wheel, he asked calmly, “Have you prepared for the meeting with Lady Fashion this afternoon p>
Annabel puckered her lips and answered firmly, “Of course I have. No problems with that at all p>
She knew the meeting was not going to be simple. It was a big deal with a lot at stake. But she was looking forward to it nonetheless.
An hour later, they arrived at the airport.
Annabel looked down at her watch. There were still ten minutes to go before Brett’s flight would arrive.
“I’m going to the bathroom,” Annabel said to Rupert.
Rupert nodded in acknowledgment, and she rushed off.
When she got to the bathroom, Annabel sent a message to someone. “How is it going p>
