Chapter 293

Rupert didn't say a word. He wasn't one for repeating himself on the same issue.

Bridget watched Rupert's retreating figure, her palms clammy with nervous sweat. Unable to contain herself, she hurried after him and caught his arm.

Realizing she'd spoken too much, she quickly flashed a smile.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just worried there might have been a misunderstanding in the studio earlier. You know how girls can hold grudges."

"Really now?"

Rupert didn't elaborate, but those two words were enough to make Bridget feel like he was siding with Sylvia. But she didn't dare show her disappointment. She clasped her hands together, maintaining a gentle smile.
