Chapter 1330:
Annabel’s face flushed as she tried to sit up straight, only to find herself pinned against his chest, his strong arms locked around her waist.
“Stop messing around,” she huffed, glancing around in mild panic.
“Kiss me and I’ll let you go,” Rupert whispered near her ear, a playful grin tugging at his lips.
Just then, a flight attendant approached, and Annabel immediately buried her face in Rupert’s chest.
The attendant paused, likely checking whether Annabel felt unwell. Rupert stayed calm and was about to speak when Annabel gently pinched his waist, afraid he’d say something inappropriate.
“We’re fine,” Rupert said, shaking his head. The flight attendant, though still concerned, moved on.
Mortified, Annabel tried to shift subtly in Rupert’s embrace, but his hand pressed farther down her back, nearly brushing her bottom.
Thinking the flight attendant was still nearby, Annabel tightened her grip on Rupert’s hand around her waist. “Has she gone p>
At her anxious whisper, a smile flickered in Rupert’s eyes. “Not yet p>
Annabel’s waist ached from being held so tightly, and she silently complained about the attendant lingering. “Why hasn’t she left yet p>
Then she heard Rupert’s quiet chuckle above her head.
Startled, Annabel realized he was teasing her. She straightened immediately, cheeks burning. “Rupert!” she hissed, shooting him a pouty glare.
Seeing her like that, Rupert leaned in, kissed her lips, and smiled. “You’re the one who started it. Why are you shy now p>
Pouting, Annabel huffed. “I’m going to ignore you p>
Rupert reached out and gently caressed her cheek, making her turn away. “Bored already? Weren’t you the one who wanted to buy the plane tickets p>

Annabel turned back to him. “What, are you blaming me p>
Twisting a strand of her hair around his finger, he looked at her with warm affection. “I wouldn’t dare.” Rupert would do anything for Annabel.
Meeting his gaze, Annabel’s heart softened. With a radiant smile, she leaned in and lightly kissed his cheek.
After they got off the plane, Rupert arranged for someone to pick them up. Annabel, swamped with work matters, was taken straight back to Star Entertainment.
“I’ll pick you up tonight,” Rupert murmured, gently smoothing her hair.
Annabel nodded and was about to get out of the car when he suddenly reached out and held her back.
“What’s wrong?” Startled, she turned to look at him in confusion.
Rupert frowned and gestured toward the window.
Following his gaze, Annabel looked outside and froze.
Reporters crowded around the company entrance, all of them waiting with hungry expressions, as if expecting to catch someone the moment they stepped out.
It wasn’t unusual for reporters to linger outside media companies, but Annabel had never seen this many gathered outside hers. She had already instructed the company to suppress the trending searches about Margo, so the sight of them still camped here unsettled her.
