Chapter 86:
The two of them were so close that Annabel could even perceive the faint smell of tobacco from him. Her heart began to beat faster and faster.
“Then I’ll ask the production department to do it tomorrow,” Annabel said stiffly, turning to him.
But she did not expect to find that he was staring straight at her. Caught off guard, Annabel blushed and quickly said, “If there’s no other problem, I’d like to go on with my task p>
“It’s late now. You can continue tomorrow. I’ll drive you home,” Rupert offered.
He looked at his watch; it was already ten o’clock in the evening.
Annabel refused. “I don’t like to postpone things till the next day p>
“Okay.” Rupert nodded, showing no intention of leaving.
“Are you going to supervise me here?” Annabel asked when she saw that he was still in the same old position.
Seeing the embarrassed look on her face, Rupert looked at her with raised eyebrows. “If there’s a problem, I can point it out in time,” he said in a businesslike tone.
Annabel was far from pleased with this. How could she work when he was so close to her?
She quickly turned off the computer and said, “Forget it. I’ll finish it tomorrow p>
Rupert straightened up and looked at her with a faint smile. “Didn’t you say that you didn’t like to postpone a day’s work p>
“I’m tired,” Annabel replied, quickly picking up her handbag and walking over to the door.
Rupert chuckled and walked after her. “I’ll go back with you p>
Annabel didn’t know what to say, so she just stayed quiet.
They both rode the elevator and soon arrived at the underground garage.
Before Rupert could open the car door, a figure rushed up to him and grabbed his arm.

“Rupert, I’ve been waiting for you p>
Annabel took a closer look and saw that it was Nina.
Rupert pulled his arm out of her grasp in disgust. “Nina, why are you still here? I said I didn’t want to see you again. Get out of here p>
“Rupert, please don’t fire me,” Nina begged in tears, her eyes already red and puffy from so much crying. “I can even work as a cleaner as long as you don’t fire me. Please, just let me stay in Benton Group, so I can be close to p>
Before Nina could finish her sentence, Rupert cut her off harshly. “I asked you to get out. Don’t you understand that? Benton Group will never accept people like you who act against the interests of the company for your own selfish reasons p>
“Rupert, I’m sorry. I know I was wrong!” Nina wailed, crying and begging profusely. “I know I was wrong, but what I did, I did because I love you so much. Rupert, I’m begging you, don’t fire me.
You don’t know how much I love you. As long as I can stay with you, I will do anything you ask me to do p>
Rupert frowned, his handsome face filled with disgust and contempt.
