The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 101

"Don't sweat it! It was Bella who sniffed out the mole in the company! You might not know, but Linda, the HR Manager sent over from the head office, had been fiddling with the attendance records. She only showed up for work 78 days in a year, yet she pocketed our full year's salary and perfect attendance bonus. Oh, and don't forget the year-end bonus." Kenneth said.

Louisa was taken aback, "How did Bella find out?"

"I'm not entirely sure, just heard from the grapevine that Bella was going to let Linda off the hook. But Linda strutted into the office, spouting a load of trash about Bella loud enough for everyone to hear. A crowd gathered to watch the drama, and that's when Bella pulled out the evidence and called the cops." Kenneth said.

"Bella did a great job. She's amazing!" Louisa was impressed how Bella kept her cool when faced with such a hostile ex-employee. She had some serious guts.

"Ms. Bennett is truly remarkable! Young yet such a whiz in business!"

"Totally! She's definitely got the Collins' business smarts running in her veins."

"She's definitely a chip off the old Collins block. Just as brilliant as her brothers!"

"Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Collins, for having such a wonderful and beautiful daughter. The company's in good hands, you guys can breathe easy now."

Kenneth and Louisa, hearing all the praises, couldn't help but feel elated.

Initially, they handed the company to Bella just to keep her busy. Little did they know she would do such a stellar job. It was a sight to behold.

Serena, eavesdropping from a corner, was green with envy as Bella stole the spotlight again. Yet she kept a smile on her face, and walked in with some goodies. "Mom, Dad, I'm back. Guess what I got for you?"

"Is it from Bright Restaurant?" Louisa asked.

"Yes, I heard their stuff is a tough get. Even if you're loaded, you still have to queue up for a spot!" Serena said.

"Serena, you went queuing for this?" Louisa was instantly concerned.
