Chapter 114
“Thanks, grandpa, but I’m good.” Arabella said, walking away, “I’m not really feeling hungry.”
“You should eat even if you’re not hungry, you’re too skinny. I’ll have the chef whip up something for you; I bet you’ll love it.“”
The chef said the young ladies these days were really into these fancy afternoon tea pastries.
Bella should like them too, right?
“No need; give it to Romeo.”
“He doesn’t need it; I didn’t prepare his portion!” Phillip answered without hesitation
On the other side.
Serena had been waiting in the conference roorn for two hours; the afternoon tea had already gotten cold.
She wanted to go see what Romeo was busy with but was afraid to interrupt his work.
Just as she was hesitating, the door to Romeo’s office opened, and she saw Romeo coming out!
“Romeo, are you done already?” Serena quickly caught up to him and said, “You’ve been working non–stop; you need to take care of yourself. Are you hungry? Can you eat something first?”
“Mr. McMillan has some matters to deal with.” Carl was still trying to stop her. “Miss Serena, please wait a moment.”
“Romeo.” Serena called after him, “Where are you going? Will you be back later? I’ve prepared some food for you; how about having a bite first?”
Romeo didn’t look back as he entered the elevator; the doors slowly closed, leaving Serena with nothing but a cold and determined silhouette.
Seeing that Romeo had left, Carl also turned to leave.
At this moment, his phone started to vibrate, and he answered the call: “Is everything ready? Good, I’ll be there in about ten minutes. Just checking, the juice is freshly squeezed, right? And no ice cubes, right? Good, keep the pastries warm; our young lady doesn’t eat cold food, alright?”
Hearing this, Serena was a bit puzzled–who was his young lady? Could it be Arabella?
An image of Arabella suddenly flashed in her mind.
Serena was shocked. She hurriedly got into another elevator and got into her car.
“Erik, follow Romeo’s car.”
“Miss Serena, what are you doing?” Erik was a bit confused, but seeing Serena’s anxious expression, he immediately started the engine.
“Mr. McMillan, that’s the Collins family’s car behind us; should we lose them?” Carl immediately noticed the license plate on the car behind them; it was the Collins family’s
car.
But Romeo didn’t care; he said, “Let them follow.”
Arabella had just entered her office when she got a call from Romeo.
“I’m bringing you afternoon tea; I’ll be there in about ten minutes.” Romeo’s voice was as deep and enticing as ever. “Which floor is your office on?”
“Are you on your way already?”
“Yeah.”
“Then I’ll come down to meet you.”
She dared not let Mr. McMillan deliver to her office; it would draw too much attention!
“Are you afraid of people knowing about our relationship?”
Was it because he wasn’t handsome enough? Or his family background wasn’t prestigious enough? Or was it that she didn’t want to admit he was her fiancée?
“Don’t you know your own status?“.
When this man showed up, not only the company but the entire Summerfield would be buzzing!
At that time, many people would be asking about their relationship.
