Chapter 1130:
“What is wrong with you, Rory? You won the Best Actor Award. You know exactly who you are. How could you do something like this?” Annabel’s voice was firm, all tough love. “Do you have any idea how much the company will lose if this isn’t handled properly? I know you did it for Margo, but you have to watch your image whenever you’re outside. You’re a famous actor, for goodness’ sake p>
Rory had always been calm and composed. Why was he so impulsive this time?
“Annabel…” Rory’s anger still hadn’t fully cooled, but he tried to speak.
Annabel waved a hand, impatient, cutting him off. “Go to the hospital first and get your injuries checked. I’ll find a way to clean up this mess p>
After work that day, Annabel went straight back to Water Moon Community.
When she arrived at Rupert’s apartment, she froze. The living room was dark, and no one was there. Confused, she wondered if Rupert hadn’t come home yet.
She walked in and turned on the lights. At that moment, she heard sounds coming from the kitchen, as if someone were chopping something.
Thinking Danica was cooking, Annabel called out from the living room, “Danica, is Rupert back p>
As she spoke, she slipped off her coat. To her surprise, there was no response from the kitchen.
Annabel, still puzzled, walked into the kitchen. She froze the moment she saw Rupert there, cooking in a dress shirt and suit pants.
“Mr. Benton, what are you doing? How are you so free today p>
She stared at the tall man in front of her in disbelief, and a soft, sweet smile appeared on her face.
Rupert turned to look at her. She was standing by the doorway, looking exhausted. His voice softened. “I know you had a bad day, so I decided to prepare a candlelight dinner for you p>
What Rory had done earlier had thrown Star Entertainment into a serious mess. Annabel had instructed the public relations department to handle it, but the story was so explosive it kept spreading like wildfire. It almost felt as if someone were deliberately trying to make things difficult for Star Entertainment.

Annabel had spent the entire day dealing with it at the company, and she was completely drained.
“Why do you know me so well? You knew I was in a bad mood, and that’s why you cooked for me, didn’t you?” Annabel’s heart warmed at the sight of Rupert cooking in the kitchen.
She wrapped her arms around him from behind and rested her cheek against his back. Feeling his body heat, her face flushed. Annabel loved how safe and warm she felt whenever he was with her.
“Why aren’t you wearing an apron? Your clothes will get stained and smell like oil and smoke.” She quickly grabbed the apron hanging behind the door and tied it around Rupert.
Rupert immediately reached out and pulled her into his arms. He looked into her bright eyes, then lowered his head and kissed her.

They stayed close in the kitchen, the air around them turning soft and sweet.
