Chapter 1337:
Annabel let out a deep sigh as she took in the scattered bottles on the floor, discomfort flickering across her face.
After a while, Margo stepped out of the bathroom, her complexion washed out, ghostly pale. Catching Annabel’s displeased look, she nervously twirled a strand of hair around her finger.
“Do you plan to see him looking like that?” Annabel scrutinized her, her gaze sharp and penetrating, making Margo even more uneasy.
“I’ll freshen up,” Margo said softly, her voice still hoarse from the emotional turmoil.
“Take care of yourself, okay?” Annabel sighed, the helplessness in her tone unmistakable. “I’ll give you a few days off. Use that time to have a real conversation with Dunn p>
Surprise flickered across Margo’s face at Annabel’s unexpected decision, followed by a rush of apology.
“I’m sorry, Annabel p>

Downstairs, Rory and Margo’s agent were waiting. When Annabel appeared, the agent hurried over. “How did it go? What happened p>
“It’s under control now,” Annabel replied. She shook her head, then paused. “The recent online speculation has been too much for her to handle p>
Star Entertainment rarely interfered with the private lives of its artists, and Annabel had no intention of laying everything out in the open.
As the agent recalled Margo’s recent erratic behavior, Annabel’s explanation made grim sense, and her expression softened with understanding.
