Chapter 1137:
Rory looked up, startled. He hadn’t expected Annabel to bring up Margo. “You mean p>
“Margo is a good woman,” Annabel said. “When I went to the hospital, I could tell she genuinely cares about you. Why don’t you give her—and yourself—a chance p>
“Margo?” Rory repeated her name with a faint smile. He admitted she was a wonderful woman, but he didn’t feel that way about her.
After a while, Rory shook his head. “I won’t hold her back. Margo is a good person, but I only see her as a little sister p>
The office door was slightly ajar.
Margo had arrived early that morning, worried about Rory. She stood outside his office, waiting for a chance to apologize. Instead, she overheard every word of Annabel and Rory’s conversation.
Margo stood frozen for a moment, stunned. Her heart ached. She clenched her fist as bitterness surged through her, then let out a self-mocking smile before turning away.
What had she expected? She should have known Rory would never like her.
Annabel didn’t know what to say in response. In the end, she looked at Rory seriously. “I shouldn’t interfere in your private life, but I hope you’ll consider the company’s interests and stop acting on impulse. Rory, I’m looking forward to seeing you work hard again p>
Annabel was rarely this stern. Rory stayed silent, fully aware he had gone too far this time. He nodded solemnly. “Okay. I understand p>
The crew of Farewell, My Love had been through a lot. Thankfully, the directors and actors were extremely dedicated, and they managed to finish filming on schedule. Still, post-production would take time, and the work ahead would be grueling—something the team understood well.
After all, they weren’t likely to find another boss as kind and understanding as Annabel.
To reward everyone for their hard work, Annabel reserved a banquet hall in a restaurant for the wrap-up party.
She stood, glanced at the crew with a smile, and said, “Thank you all for working so hard. You were all dedicated. I believe we’ll receive great recognition at the film festival this time p>
Cheers erupted as everyone raised their glasses for a toast.
Just then, a young man in a black suit and white gloves walked in. His presence was imposing as he carried a luxurious small blue box made of velvet and satin.
“Excuse me, who here is Miss Hewitt p>
Annabel stood, confused, and walked over. “I am p>
The young man nodded and handed her the box with a polite smile. “Hello. A gentleman asked us to deliver this to you. If you’re willing, please sign here to confirm receipt p>
Even more puzzled, Annabel frowned as she accepted the box.
Who would send something like this? And why be so mysterious?
Was it Rupert?
