The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 255

Yolanda was quite angry but burst into laughter the moment she saw a tag hanging around Arabella's neck, which read "Assistant No.16".

“My dad gave you six million, what happened? You spent it all? Now you have to work as an assistant in some small company? Where's your self-respect?”

Designer No.9 quickly chimed in, "Yoli, she's working for a subsidiary of the Collins family."

“Wait, you mean the filthy rich Collins family?”

“Exactly.”

A flush of embarrassment crept across Yolanda's face, but she quickly shrugged it off, “Even in a billionaire's company, she’s still an assistant, doing all the grunt work. Life's tough for her."

Arabella remained silent.

“Without the Murphy family, you’d be scraping by. If I were you, I’d go home and get down on my knees and apologize to my parents. Maybe they'd be so happy that they'd give me some pocket money.”

“Maybe you’re okay being a puppet, but I’m not.”

Arabella glanced at the tag around Yolanda's neck, which also had the word ‘Assistant’.

She had tagged along with the designer No.9.

“You talk a big game. I thought you were a designer.” Arabella didn't have time for her and was about to leave.

Yolanda stopped her again, “I’m wearing this tag to gain some experience, not to slave away like you. We’re not the same!”

Yolanda was feeling pretty smug, “I’m the only daughter in my family, and I’ll inherit the family business. I’m just here to get a feel of the industry, what’s wrong with that?”

Arabella found this quite hilarious and gave a small laugh, “You think your family business can survive the month?”

Yolanda had a sinking feeling, “What do you mean?”
