Who Is The Real Boss?

Chapter 92 Rupert Is A Good Guy

Stunned, Cathy pursed her lips and said reluctantly, "Maybe my eyes deceived me."

Just now, the video that Rupert showed exposed not only the truth but also exposed Cathy's lie.

"Your eyes deceived you?" Annabel sneered.

"What about your classmate then? Did his eyes deceive him too? Perjury is a crime.The repercussions for it range from detention to..."

"l said my eyes deceived me!" Cathy yelled and gave Rupert a look of distress.

"Rupert, please help me.Say something."

But Rupert shot Cathy an indifferent glance as he held Annabel's hand.

"Let's go."

Under Cathy's envious gaze, Annabel and Rupert walked out of the ward hand in hand and into the elevator.

The elevator doors closed.

"Your performance today certainly exceeded my expectations."

Rupert looked at Annabel sideways.

"I didn't expect you to come to the hospital and confront Nina."

Annabel smiled.

"What? Do I look like a pushover to you?"

With a grin, Rupert looked back at her and shook his head.

"No."

"Thanks a lot for what you did just now."

After a little hesitation, Annabel expressed her gratitude.She didn't expect Rupert to stand up for her and take the time to dig up such a crucial video that exposed Nina's lies.

Even Anthony didn't find the video, yet Rupert did.He must've put in a lot of effort.It was impossible for her to not be moved by his gesture.

But...

"I said I would protect you,"

Rupert reminded, his voice ringing clearly in Annabel’s ear.

His tone was extremely magnetic and slightly seductive.

Annabel frowned and leaned to the side without realizing it.

A bit of disappointment flashed across Rupert's eyes.

Did she have to keep a distance from him? Did she have no feelings for him after what he had done for her? With his hands in his pockets, Rupert's expression turned cold.

For a moment, the air in the elevator froze.

Pursing her lips, Annabel looked away from him.

Just then, her phone rang.

It was her grandfather.

Annabel quickly picked up.

"Grandpa, why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

On the other end, a burst of laughter boomed through the line.

"I saw what happened today on TV.Rupert is a good guy.He's protecting you."

Annabel was slightly embarrassed.Her grandfather's voice was so loud that Rupert might've been able to hear everything.

Annabel's grandfather continued, "You've been spending time with him for almost a month now, haven't you? How are you two? When am I going to attend your wedding?"

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Annabel flushed.

"Come on! This guy is talented, handsome, capable, and worthy of you."

Annabel's grandfather was very satisfied with Rupert.

"Grandpa, I have something else to do.I have to hang up now!"

Hearing Rupert's vague chuckle, Annabel quickly ended the call.

"Your grandfather has good taste, much better than yours," Rupert teased.

Annabel rolled her eyes.

"How can you be so narcissistic?"

Ignoring the man beside her, she stared at the elevator's flashing numbers, hoping to get to the first floor as soon as possible.

As soon as they walked out of the elevator, Rupert's phone rang.It was Bruce.

"Grandpa, what's up?"

Rupert answered, a subtle look on his face.

"I haven't seen you and Annabel for days.When will you two visit me?" Bruce asked through the phone speaker.

Rupert nodded.

"I'll go visit you when I'm free."

"Don't wait until you're free.You're coming tonight.I'll ask the chef to prepare your favorite dishes." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Without waiting for Rupert's reply, Bruce hung up.

Rupert shook his head helplessly.He and his grandfather shared the same trait of being bossy.

"What's wrong?" Annabel asked curiously.

Rupert turned his head and gave a tiny smile.

"My grandpa wanted us to have dinner with him this evening."

"Oh, I see."

A faint grin spread on Annabel's face.

Both of their grandfathers called them at the same time.She felt something was not right.

"I'll pick you up after work." Rupert said with a deadpan expression.

The two returned to the company.

As soon as Annabel returned to her seat, an excited Eve came over.

"Annabel, your retaliation this morning was amazing.You exposed that shameless Nina!" Eve exclaimed in admiration.

Annabel smiled.

"She deserved it."

"Annabel, why are you so calm? Do you know how popular you are on the Internet now? "

Eve showed Annabel her phone.

"Look! All of the top trending and most searched online posts are about you."

Annabel glanced at the screen.

Sure enough, she saw the video of her performing CPR on Nina.

Now, Annabel was hailed as a beautiful girl of kindness.

Most of them were discussing her relationship with Rupert.

"Annabel is absolutely gorgeous.Rupert is undeniably dashing.They're a perfect match!"

"I wholeheartedly support Annabel and Rupert together!"

However, there were a few harsh comments as well.

"I heard Annabel came from the countryside.She's nothing but a scheming bitch.She doesn't deserve Rupert!"

Annabel rubbed her eyes.She went to the hospital today to just expose Nina's crime.

Annabel didn't expect Rupert to arrive and announce she was his fiancee in front of the reporters.

Now the public’s opinion on it spread like wildfire, which wasn't what she intended.

After some thinking, Annabel sent Anthony a message.

"Help me take down all of the trending and most searched posts about me."

"What's wrong, Ada? You're a stunner in those photos and that video alongside your handsome fiance.Why would you want them taken down?" Anthony said jokingly.

"I told you to take them down.Cut the crap.I'll give you half an hour.

I don't want to see any news about me again! "Yes, ma'am!" Anthony replied.

At the CEO office, Rupert squinted at his phone screen.

The photo of him holding Annabel was very clear.

There were so many comments flooding it.

Rupert beamed.He was so absorbed with browsing the news.But within a few minutes, all the trending news about Annabel suddenly vanished.
