The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 158

She looked gentle, but she fought like a devil. How scary! Despite her brother still hiding in the bushes, Myra ran for the car, started it up, and took off!

Arabella's gaze fell on the dozen people groaning in agony in the bushes, then shifted to the distant street. Romeo's car was on its way.

"Be quiet." At her command, the dozen people clamped their mouths shut, no matter how much they hurt, they dare not make a sound.

Harry was so scared his body was trembling.

He had already sampled Arabella's violence. She looked so delicate and frail, but when it came to a brawl, she was stronger than most men...

How scary!

Arabella walked to the side of the road, Romeo's car pulled up just in time. He got out, walked over to Arabella and opened the car door for her, "Sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Arabella hopped into the passenger seat, "You didn't have to come and get me."

"I missed you." Romeo bent down to fasten her seatbelt.

Arabella studied his handsome face. This close, she could clearly see Romeo's straight nose, smooth skin...

"I'm not a kid."

After fastening her seatbelt, Romeo looked up and doted on her, "No matter how old you are, you'll always be a kid to me." I'll always spoil you.

Arabella's cheeks grew warm.

As Romeo was about to close the passenger door and get into the driver's seat, he noticed two empty cars nearby with their doors still open.

He looked around but didn't see anyone else, so he didn't pay much mind. Once inside the car, he turned to Arabella, "What were you negotiating just now?"

"Outsourcing." Arabella glanced at the rearview mirror. Not one of the group had crawled out from the bushes, probably because she hit them too hard, they couldn't get up yet.

"In a few days, you can do some outsourcing for me too."

Arabella thought: What?

"I have a new company that won't draw attention."

As Romeo drove, he asked, "Are you hungry? I'll take you to grab a bite first."

Arabella checked the time, it was almost noon, so she agreed.

Once in the restaurant's private room.

Romeo took Arabella's hand only to find it damp!

He looked down and saw that her right hand was injured, with two bloody scratches!!

"You got injured? When did you get injured?"

Romeo hadn't looked carefully when he took her hand, he must have touched her wound!

He felt guilty for his carelessness, "Did I hurt you just now?"

Even though he touched her wound, she didn't cry out in pain, she bore it...

Arabella didn't even know when she got injured. She glanced at the wound and said lightly, "I'm fine."

The wound didn't hurt, she probably got it when she was fighting.

Maybe the men's clothes had zippers or accessories that accidentally scratched her...

She couldn't remember the exact reason.

Romeo called for the restaurant manager to bring a first aid kit.

The manager was startled, thinking that the girl Romeo brought had been injured in his restaurant. He started apologizing as soon as he entered...

He even promised to replace all the items in the room, to ensure that nothing could potentially cause harm...

Arabella couldn't help but laugh at his terrified look, "This has nothing to do with you, you may leave now."

Upon hearing this, the manager seemed to have been given a reprieve, he bowed and thanked them profusely before rushing out.
