The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 71

"Gotcha!" Arabella took the gift and said, "Let's eat first."

Attlee finally made it to the restaurant, only to find out from the staff that Dylan had gone to a private room on the second floor. As soon as he went up, he saw Mario guarding the door of Room One.

Mario saw him too. He didn't expect Attlee to follow them here. Mario's first reaction was that Attlee wanted to barge into the private room, so he immediately stood in front of the door to block him.

"Mario!" Attlee came up to him, smiling, and saying, "You've got the wrong idea, man. I'm not planning on going in. I just want to catch Mr. Dylan after his meeting. I’ve got something to say to him."

"Mr. Dylan has nothing more to say to you."

"How could that be?" Attlee kept smiling. "We've always had such a blast working together!"

Who the hell would work with Attlee if it weren’t for Ms. Bennett? And their past collaborations weren't exactly a walk in the park!

"Mario, can you spill the beans on who's dining with Mr. Dylan?" Attlee asked, buttering him up.

But Mario coldly replied, "Sorry, I can't do it."

"Mario."

Attlee wanted to say something else but was immediately cut off by Mario's frosty tone: "Mr. Dylan won't see you, Mr. Murphy. Please go home."

Attlee didn't get pissed; he just stood at the door, waiting. After a while, a waiter wanted to go in to serve dishes, and Attlee tried to peek inside. Mario did his best to block the view, but sharp-eyed Attlee still caught a glimpse of a familiar figure!

Arabella? What's she doing in there? Dylan rushed to see her? No way.

After a while, the waiter went in to serve dishes again. Attlee took a closer look, and that person was indeed Arabella!

What's more, Dylan, who's always so serious and cold, was actually showing a bit of respect and politeness in front of Arabella!
