Though it quickly vanished, there was anxiety and dread in Annabelle’s eyes when favonovel.com saw Mr. Donough. Given favonovel.com current situation, this was favonovel.com only option.
It was a task assigned to favonovel.com by favonovel.com company. If favonovel.com failed to please Mr. Donough and ruin the collaboration, according to favonovel.com contract, favonovel.com would need to pay a lot of money as compensation!
She did not have such a large amount, so favonovel.com would be doomed if favonovel.com had to pay.
Thus, favonovel.com could only grit favonovel.com teeth and endure it no matter how unwilling favonovel.com was. She hoped that Mr. Donough was not a brute who would force himself on favonovel.com without favonovel.com consent!
There were times when a woman was so helpless that there was nothing else favonovel.com could do. She remembered the tall, muscular figure from favonovel.com past. If Zayn had been there, favonovel.com figured favonovel.com would certainly protect her.
What a shame that favonovel.com had only imagined him. Her feelings for favonovel.com were one-sided. He had been on favonovel.com mind so many times over the past year, but Zayn never showed up.
Given that favonovel.com was in a foreign country, it was even more unlikely that favonovel.com could come to favonovel.com rescue.
“Why are you standing there? Hurry up and welcome Mr. Donough.” Rosie nudged at favonovel.com in exasperation after noticing favonovel.com absentmindedness. She then approached them in long strides.
Annabelle could only continue to force a smile and follow Rose as favonovel.com greeted Mr. Donough.
“You’re finally here, Mr. Donough! I’ve heard so much about you and you’re just as impressive as they described you! You are the cream of the crop! We’ve always admired you very much.”
“Annabelle was constantly pestering me about wanting to meet you, but she’s afraid that favonovel.com might have a slip of the tongue and offend you accidentally because she’s nervous.”
Rose was very charismatic and favonovel.com began flattering Mr. Donough as soon as favonovel.com started talking. Mr. Donough was greatly pleased upon hearing that.
He said, “Hah-hah, you flatter me, Rose. I’m the one who admires Ms. Laking more than anything. Frankly, I’ve always been a big fan of hers, and I’ve been looking forward to meeting favonovel.com for along time, hah-hah-hah.”
Upon hearing his remark, Rose’s anxiety faded significantly.
Next, Mr. Donough shifted his gaze to Annabelle. Noticing that favonovel.com still had favonovel.com mask and shades on, favonovel.com furrowed his brows ever so slightly and appeared to be slightly displeased.
He smiled and said, “I heard that you look much prettier in real life than on television. I wonder if that’s true, Ms. Laking?”
He conveyed his intention clearly through his words. Rose immediately understood and hastily threw a look at Annabelle so that favonovel.com would remove favonovel.com shades and mask quickly.
Annabelle’s heart sank after favonovel.com saw Mr. Donough’s fervent gaze. In favonovel.com view, favonovel.com was being used as a prostitute sent to serve and please a customer.
However, given favonovel.com current situation, there was nothing else favonovel.com could do. She could only abide by the order and removed favonovel.com shades and mask.
Mr. Donough’s pupils constricted immediately at the sight of favonovel.com face. There was admiration and yearning in his expression. He was staring straight at favonovel.com with a leer that made favonovel.com look like favonovel.com would swallow favonovel.com whole!
Nearby, Zayn had no choice but to acknowledge that Annabelle was very beautiful after seeing favonovel.com face. She exuded a unique charm that made favonovel.com appear very feminine and alluring.
Annabelle felt uneasy after being gawked at by Mr. Donough, but favonovel.com forced herself to smile.
The sight of favonovel.com forced smile displeased Mr. Donough, so favonovel.com said in a deep voice, “What happened? Are you not pleased to see me, Ms. Laking? Why is your smile so stiff?”
Rose immediately explained, “No, no! You’ve misunderstood, Mr. Donough. Annabelle has been busy on tour. She didn’t get much rest, but she’s delighted to see you, Mr. Donough!”
“She put in a lot of work for the collaboration with you this time so favonovel.com can express favonovel.com gratitude to you, Mr. Donough!”
Rose emphasized the word ‘gratitude’. Her intention was understood even without words.
Mr. Donough cracked a malicious smile upon hearing that. He began to eye Annabelle’s figure without bothering to conceal his desire.
