Chapter 491:
That was not what he wanted.
He longed for the days when she had relied on him for protection and comfort. He wanted her to feel safe and secure by his side, not distant and indifferent like she was now.
“Ron…” Candace’s voice interrupted Rupert’s thoughts.
She reached out and grasped Rupert’s arm, resting her head on his shoulder. “Didn’t you mention finding me a new house to live in? Shall we go take a look now p>
With an icy look, Annabel turned and walked away, catching up with Rory.
The two of them left HN Boutique.
“Annabel, where are you going? I can drive you there,” Rory said, gripping the steering wheel tightly. He turned his head and glanced at Annabel.
It was supposed to be a relaxing weekend of shopping, but after the events that had transpired, Annabel no longer felt like it.
“Just take me back to East Garden p>
“Sure thing,” Rory replied. He started the car, pulled out of the parking lot, and drove toward East Garden.
“What happened between you and Talia?” Annabel asked, leaning back in her seat.
Rory hesitated for a moment before replying, “It was just an engagement our parents arranged for us when we were kids, but Talia went abroad with another man when my family was in trouble. We haven’t been in contact since then p>
“I see,” Annabel said thoughtfully.
According to Rory, Talia was indeed his fiancée.
Although Talia had gone abroad with another man, she and Rory hadn’t officially canceled their engagement.
“If you don’t handle this well, it will have a big impact on you,” Annabel warned, rubbing her forehead as a headache began to form.
is where the magic begins
Even though Annabel and Rory were just friends, the media kept publishing articles about how they were living together, and they even became the most talked about people on the internet.
Because Talia and Rory were once engaged, the unscrupulous reporters would naturally exaggerate things just to grab the public’s attention.
“They’re just baseless rumors, and I don’t care about them,” Rory said in an indifferent tone.
He had nothing to do with Talia now, and he didn’t have to be afraid of anything.
“It took two whole years and a lot of hard work to attain the popularity you have now, and I don’t want you to be ruined because of this. Do you understand?” Annabel narrowed her eyes. “You are the president of Star Entertainment and the superstar representing the company’s image. If the media makes a big fuss about this, it will certainly hurt you and the company p>
Rory’s lips curved into a small smile as he asked, “Annabel, are you worried about me or the company p>
“Both,” Annabel answered after a short pause.
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of this,” Rory replied, his eyes clouded with darkness. He could easily ignore it if it was only about his image, but he couldn’t let the company suffer losses.
