Chapter 695: Chapter 695



As the elevator doors slid open, Shawn wheeled Katherine toward her examination, while Bobby lingered inside the elevator, quietly observing.

Even as the doors began to close, Bobby made no move to stop them. Fannie asked, “Won’t you be there to support Katherine during the delivery?”

“She’s not my wife.”

Fannie retorted, “Even as her friend, you can provide support and be a source of strength for her.”

“If cheers were enough, I’d recruit an entire cheer team.” Bobby’s tone revealed his lack of empathy for Katherine’s ordeal. Realizing there was no point in further argument, Fannie chose to mentally erase his presence from her mind.

Bobby adjusted his hair. “I heard you’ve left Judie without any assignments?”

Catching the accusation in his voice, Fannie realized his true intent wasn’t concern, but confrontation.

Fresh updates available at galnoνeℓs․cøm “I have my own plans, and they don’t require interference from those outside the business.”

Bobby scoffed lightly, a wry smile playing on his lips. “Even someone on the sidelines can see that in this industry, no spotlight means no stardom. Are you suggesting that you’re deliberately sidelining her because you’re envious of her relationship with me?”

Fannie’s temper flared like a storm. “Believe me, I’m not as petty as you’re implying! Since the contract is in place, I intend to honor it thoroughly. If my dedication is in doubt, feel free to take her elsewhere.”

The elevator dinged at her floor. Yet, Bobby interposed himself, his hand deftly pressing the elevator’s close button before she could exit.

“What are you playing at?” Fannie demanded, her voice sharp in the cramped space, overshadowed by Bobby’s imposing height.

Her eyes flicked toward the emergency button, her hand poised to summon help at a moment’s notice.

“Fifi, if you ever need a man, don’t hesitate to come to me,” Bobby said, his voice low and laced with playful tease.

Fannie paused, taking a second to decode his veiled offer. It was true—some found it difficult to rein in their desires once they had indulged. But she wasn’t there yet.

Fannie was seething. To him, she was just another pretty face—no different from the women he could easily charm with a sly smile and smooth words. His wild escapades were infamous, and now it seemed he had set his sights on her. Did he truly think that one night was enough to add her to his collection of women?

Fannie let out a cold, humorless laugh.

“No, thanks. I have a boyfriend. I’ll turn to him if I need anything.”

Bobby’s eyes caught the flush of her cheeks, and he realized with a slight smirk that she and Jett weren’t yet intimate.

As Fannie tried to step around him, Bobby blocked her path, trapping her further into the corner.

“Jett isn’t capable of satisfying you,” he said with a sneer. “I can see it clear as day. He doesn’t have the size, the stamina, nor the finesse that I boast.”
