The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1291

"Sure, I'll send it to your cellphone, but boss," Jones couldn't help but warn, "That town is pretty rough, quite the mix of folks. There's a flea market there where you can find all sorts of rare stuff, so it attracts all kinds. Robberies aren't uncommon. You could get robbed in the morning and again in the evening. It's not exactly a rare occurrence."

Arabella raised her perfectly sculpted eyebrow at this. A place that chaotic, really?

"Boss, if you're going to drive, don't leave your purse in the passenger seat. It's an easy target for a smash and grab. If you're on foot, dress as plain as you can. Avoid anything with a designer logo. It's just asking for trouble."

Arabella seemed intrigued by this, a wry smile playing on her lips. "Is it really that bad?"

"No joke, boss. And don't carry anything in your hands, especially not your phone. You'd be an easy target."

Arabella just chuckled lightly, "That bad, huh?"

"Boss, remember a few years back when I told you about a situation I had. You sent me to Dawnstar's border for a job, and as I was driving through that town, a group of ragtag folks stopped my car. They surrounded the vehicle, asking for money. I didn't have any change on me, and they threatened to damage the car, even break the mirrors. It really got under my skin! If it wasn't for the fact that the job required me to keep a low profile, I would've given them a piece of my mind!"

"And then?" Arabella asked with a smirk.

"Well, I showed them my piece and they backed off. But not before they broke my side mirror and scratched up my car. It really ticked me off!"

Arabella seemed to vaguely remember Jones complaining about such an incident a few years ago.

"Anyway, they're just a bunch of thugs. Reporting them to the police doesn't do much good. The law enforcement there is lax at best, so they're pretty fearless."

Jones paused, taking a deep breath, "Boss, even if you don't flaunt your wealth, I'm still worried. Just by your looks, you're bound to attract attention. I fear there will be a lot of people following you. If they just take your money it's one thing, but if a group of brutes were to hold you down, frisk you, considering how beautiful you are."

"Do you think they'll hold me down?" Arabella laughed, "Don't worry, I'll keep a low profile."
