Chapter 1207:
At the mention of the night before, Anika’s eyes darkened. “Marcel p>
“Marcel told me everything. He also said there’s nothing going on between him and Elva.” Annabel patted Anika’s shoulder and spoke gently. “I’ve known Marcel for many years. I know what kind of man he is. Even though he can seem a little frivolous at times, he’s very loyal. Don’t overanalyze this, Anika. Have more faith in yourself and in Marcel. Look—the person who sent that photo obviously wants you to misunderstand Marcel and end your relationship with him. If you fight with him over this, you’ll only be doing exactly what that person wants p>
“I see.” Anika nodded slowly.
Annabel stayed and comforted her for a while, then drove to Star Entertainment headquarters.
“I expect your reports for this quarter by Friday,” Annabel said coolly to the department directors as she glanced at her watch. When they all nodded, she brought the meeting to a close.
“Miss Hewitt, Jensen said the revised script has been emailed to you.” As she spoke, Annabel’s assistant gathered the documents in her hands and followed Annabel out of the meeting room.
“Really? That was fast,” Annabel said, surprised. It had only been a few days since she asked the company to contact the screenwriter, and the revision was already done.
“Jensen said you provided the story’s plot, so once he read your requirements, it wasn’t difficult for him to write the script accordingly,” the assistant explained with a smile.
Hearing that, the corners of Annabel’s mouth lifted. Jensen Wheeler was a renowned screenwriter in the entertainment industry, and he had produced plenty of excellent work over the past few years. Annabel had collaborated with him several times before, so she felt confident about the quality.
As soon as Annabel returned to her office, her phone rang. She took it out and checked the caller ID. When she saw Rupert’s name, her expression softened into a smile.
Every chapter lives on; comm
“Hi, Rupert. What’s up?” Annabel asked gently.
“Are you busy?” Rupert’s voice was low and magnetic.
“I just finished a meeting, and I’m looking at a new script—the one I told you about recently, tailor-made for Margo and Rory.” As she spoke, she opened her inbox and began reading the file.
“What do you want for dinner?” Rupert asked, his voice sounding dangerously seductive to her.
Annabel moved her hand away from the mouse and rested her cheek against her palm. She paused for a few seconds before asking in a playful tone, “Mr. Benton, are you coming to pick me up after work? Do you miss me again p>
There was no reply from the other end, and the smile on Annabel’s lips only grew. She could practically picture Rupert’s expression at that very moment.
The next second, Rupert’s soft voice came through the line. “You’re right. I miss you so much p>
Annabel froze.
Rupert had always been shy about expressing his feelings to anyone else, yet in front of her, he could be shamelessly sweet. The thought made her smile even wider.
