Chapter 968:
On the plane, Anika couldn’t sit still. Seeing her tense expression, Marcel tried to reassure her. “Don’t worry, Anika. There may be things we don’t know p>
“But Rupert is marrying someone else…” Anika clicked her tongue, anxiety leaking into her voice. She had already started thinking about how to comfort Annabel.
“Let’s talk after we see her,” Marcel said.
Three hours later, Anika and Marcel hurried out of the airport. Sitting in a taxi, Anika called Annabel.
“Hello? Annabel, Marcel and I are back. Where are you? I need to talk to you p>
After Annabel gave them the address, they rushed straight there.
Bang. Bang. Bang. Three quick knocks sounded at the door.
“I’m coming.” Annabel hurried to open it and found Anika and Marcel standing outside, slightly out of breath.
At the sight of them, Annabel couldn’t help laughing. She stepped aside and invited them in. “What’s wrong with you two? Why are you in such a hurry? Come in and have some water p>
Anika gave Annabel a helpless look and walked in quickly. Annabel poured two glasses of juice and set them down. The moment she did, Anika grabbed her hand and sat close beside her.
“Don’t bother with drinks. I need to ask you something p>
Seeing her friend’s serious expression, Annabel smiled and asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you both look so serious? Just tell me p>
Anika showed her the news on her phone—the same report she’d seen that morning. She asked urgently, “What’s going on with you and Rupert? Weren’t you two doing well? Why is he getting engaged to Candace p>
“Oh, that’s not a big deal.” Annabel let out a relieved sigh when she saw what it was. She had thought something major had happened, but then she realized Anika didn’t know about the plan. No wonder she was so anxious.
Annabel looked at her with a faintly mischievous smile. “Don’t worry. It’s an agreement between Rupert and me. You don’t have to worry. A good show is about to start p>

“An agreement?” Anika looked even more confused. What could the two of them have agreed on to cause news like this?
“I’m telling you, it’s about p>
Annabel went on to explain everything to Anika.
Finally reassured, Anika smiled. “Seriously… you didn’t tell me something this important. I thought Rupert really fell for another woman p>
Annabel shook her head with a smile. “I wasn’t planning to tell you at first. The fewer people who know, the better. It’ll look more real that way. But since the show is about to begin, it doesn’t matter if I tell you now p>
Then, as if something suddenly occurred to her, Annabel glanced between Anika and Marcel and asked with a grin, “What about you two? How are things between you p>
Both Anika and Marcel looked a little embarrassed. Marcel smiled but stayed quiet.
He knew Anika still couldn’t fully accept him, and he also knew he couldn’t rush her. He had to take it slow.
