The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 118

Though not plenty, his fame made a single gig worth hundreds of thousands.

Phillip actually asked August to prepare afternoon tea for an unruly girl?

Phillip was way too into her, wasn't he?

Seeing Serena's face contort with anger, Erik couldn't help but say, "Miss Serena, don't sweat the small stuff. All love stories start out like this. Gradually, the affection will wane, and there will be more friction between the two."

Serena clenched her fists. She couldn't just sit back and do nothing. Now Romeo wasn't interested in her, and Phillip kept his distance.

Arabella returned to her office, looking at the dozens of afternoon tea bags on the coffee table with a headache.

Even if she were to eat them for dinner, she wouldn't be able to finish them all.

Dean walked in to report on his work, drooling at the sight of all the food.

"Ms. Bennett, you're really living large, huh? You actually bought all these afternoon teas. Can you even finish them?"

"Just grab whatever you want." Arabella wasn't fond of afternoon tea, so she'd rather share than waste it.

"Ms. Bennett, do you really mean I can take whatever I want? These are handmade afternoon teas by August and Benson." Dean was almost dropping his jaw.

Arabella raised her eyebrow, as if asking, Who were August and Benson?

"Ms. Bennett, you really don't know who they are?"

Dean's eyes widened, and he swallowed. "August is a top French pastry chef, and Benson is a big shot in the pastry world."

Arabella, who had never heard of them, raised her eyebrow in question: "Pricey?"

"Ms. Bennett, aren't these the afternoon teas you ordered? It just shows that the person who ordered these for you values and likes you very much."
