The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 79

Phillip had been waiting, but Arabella was a no-show, and he was feeling peckish.

"Sir." The butler entered again.

Phillip McMillian perked up instantly, asking with anticipation, "Has Arabella arrived?"

Where was she? Why can't he see her?

He looked outside, only to see the backs of a few bodyguards.

They stood like a wall and through the gaps between them, he could see a crowd waiting outside.

Phillip's spirits dropped immediately.

"Those are some small companies you've probably never heard of. They must've heard you're here resting so they came to pay their respects."

"I already said I don't want to see them!" Phillip was irked by these people, "Did Romeo say when he's coming?"

It was already half past twelve and he was nowhere to be seen!

"The young master went for lunch with the madam. They'll come after they finish."

Brodie saw that Phillip hadn't touched the delicious food in front of him and couldn't help but advise, "Sir, why don't you eat something first? The young master and madam may take a while."

Those two young folks, nobody knew when they would arrive.

"Romeo even left me behind to go out for a meal!" Phillip felt neglected, mumbling to himself, "Left me all alone here."

Outside.

Olga, in her ten-centimeter heels, was in pain from standing for so long.
