The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 114

"Thanks, grandpa, but I'm good." Arabella said, walking away, "I'm not really feeling hungry."

"You should eat even if you're not hungry, you're too skinny. I'll have the chef whip up something for you; I bet you'll love it."

The chef said the young ladies these days were really into these fancy afternoon tea pastries.

Bella should like them too, right?

"No need; give it to Romeo."

"He doesn't need it; I didn't prepare his portion!" Phillip answered without hesitation.

On the other side.

Serena had been waiting in the conference room for two hours; the afternoon tea had already gotten cold.

She wanted to go see what Romeo was busy with but was afraid to interrupt his work.

Just as she was hesitating, the door to Romeo's office opened, and she saw Romeo coming out!

"Romeo, are you done already?" Serena quickly caught up to him and said, "You've been working non-stop; you need to take care of yourself. Are you hungry? Can you eat something first?"

"Mr. McMillan has some matters to deal with." Carl was still trying to stop her. "Miss Serena, please wait a moment."

"Romeo." Serena called after him, "Where are you going? Will you be back later? I've prepared some food for you; how about having a bite first?"

Romeo didn't look back as he entered the elevator; the doors slowly closed, leaving Serena with nothing but a cold and determined silhouette.

Seeing that Romeo had left, Carl also turned to leave.

At this moment, his phone started to vibrate, and he answered the call: "Is everything ready? Good, I'll be there in about ten minutes. Just checking, the juice is freshly squeezed, right? And no ice cubes, right? Good, keep the pastries warm; our young lady doesn't eat cold food, alright?"

Hearing this, Serena was a bit puzzled—who was his young lady? Could it be Arabella?
