Who Is The Real Boss?

Annabel wondered if Heather would compete with her for anything she liked.
Annabel looked at Heather and was about to raise her paddle again when a man's voice sounded from the door.
"Thirty million!"
Thirty million! The crowd was in an uproar when the price increased by ten million dollars.
Annabel scowled and looked toward the door when she heard the familiar voice.She saw Rupert's tall and slim figure.
Rupert entered the banquet hail with his noble, elegant stride, his well-tailored suit paired with a dark green tie.
Annabel’s heart began to race.
She couldn't believe Rupert would come here.
A reporter quickly approached Rupert and asked, "Mr.Benton, why would you attend the charity auction tonight?"
Rupert replied indifferently, "I just wanted to do something for charity."
"Mr.Benton..."
The reporter intended to ask more questions, but Rupert refused the interview by waving his hand expressionlessly.
The emcee stated excitedly, "Mr.Benton has raised the price to thirty million dollars.Is anyone else interested in raising the
price?"
"Thirty million dollars for the first time."
"Thirty million dollars for the second time."
"Thirty million for the third time.No one is interested to increase I the price, right? Deal!"
"I The emcee gave the final word, and Rupert won the plush cat made by Annabel for thirty million dollars.
"Congratulations, Mr.Benton.You bid thirty million dollars for this plush cat."
The emcee made the announcement.

To the sound of the thunderous applause, Rupert slowly made his way onto the stage.
The hall's lighting was radiant on his tall, muscular frame.
"Thank you very much, Mr.Benton, for your kindness.You've I donated thirty million dollars to charity."
The emcee signaled the i staff member to give Rupert the plush cat.
Rupert accepted the plush cat with a grin.
Annabel and Heather were fighting over the plush cat just now.
So Rupert thought that Annabel liked it very much.
‘I Curious, the emcee asked, "Mr.Benton, who are you going to give : the plush cat?"
Smiling faintly, Rupert stared at Annabel, who was sitting in the 4 corner.
He cleared his voice and said, "I will give it to the woman I'm ‘ in love with."
He was going to give it to his beloved woman.
When Annabel heard Rupert's answer, her eyelids moved inexplicably.
Bitterness washed over her.
Rupert's beloved woman...
Was it Candy? Rupert had spent thirty million dollars on this cat.
Did he intend to give it Candy when he found her in the future? I That was such a twist of irony.
Annabel made the cat herself.
"Wow, who is that lucky lady?"
There was a hint of jealousy in the , emcee's voice.
"Is she present?"

Rupert's features softened into a smile.He didn't say anything.
Under the envious gazes of the audience, Rupert stepped off the stage and walked to the corner.
Heather couldn't help but get excited when she saw Rupert approaching.
Was it possible that Rupert bought the cat for her?
Heather prayed silently, telling herself over and over that Rupert would give it to her.Her heart skipped a beat as Rupert
approached.
She smiled lovely and said shyly, "Rupert..."
However, Rupert ignored Heather.
He went straight to Annabel, who was sitting next to Heather.
Rupert neared Annabel and nodded gently.
He stared at her and handed her the cat.
"Annabel, here you are."
People immediately started talking about it when the mystery was revealed.
"So, Mr.Benton handed it to his fiancee."
"He loves his fiancee dearly.I'm very jealous of her."
Annabel held her breath as she watched Rupert approach her slowly.
It turned out that Rupert bought the kitten she made for her.
A moment ago, he announced that he intended to give it to the woman he was in love with.
Now he gave it to her.
Did it mean that she was the woman he was in love with? Annabel had mixed feelings.
"Annabel?"

Noticing that Annabel didn't react, Rupert frowned slightly.
Annabel collected herself and stated icily, "Sorry, I don't like it."
Rupert got upset after being publicly rejected by Annabel.
"Weren't you biding for it just now?"
"Well, I don't like it anymore," Annabel said firmly.
"I won't accept anything that doesn't belong to me."
Annabel then rose to her feet and added, "Please excuse me.I'm going to the restroom."
She then turned around and headed for the ladies’ room.
Rupert narrowed his eyes as he watched Annabel walk away.He knew Annabel was still angry over what had happened the night
before.He was upset too.
It was clear to Rupert that Annabel had feelings for him.
It hit him last night on the Ferris wheel that Annabel loved him.
But then he accidentally mentioned Candy, which made Annabel distance herself from him.
All night long, Rupert had been smoking on the couch.
He went to Annabel's room this morning so that he could explain, but she wasn't in her room.
He checked with the hotel's receptionist and learned that Annabel had left in the middle of the night.
Rupert spent a lot of effort to find out that Annabel would attend the charity auction tonight.
He dashed over.
But as soon as he walked into the auctioning hall, he saw Annabel fighting over the plush cat with Heather, so he bought it right
away.

He intended to use the cat to express his love for Annabel in front of everyone, but she rejected it and walked away without
looking back.
The unexpected frustration made Rupert unhappy.
"Rupert, Annabel has crossed the line."
Heather said glumly as she looked at Rupert's long face.
Heather was envious that Rupert had bought the cat for Annabel.
Rupert had also proclaimed in front of so many people that Annabel was the woman he was in love with, which made Heather
even more envious.
But Heather was taken aback when Annabel rejected Rupert.
She was unsure if Annabel was playing hard to get.
However, this was a good opportunity for her.
Heather continued, "I guess you don't know that Annabel secretly went to the bar with another man last night."
Rupert's attractive face became icy.
