Chapter 150
After the kiss, Romeo looked into her eyes and said tenderly, “In the future, you can share anything with me, whether it’s happy or sad. I’m willing to listen.”
Arabella lifted her head and gazed at his sincere expression.
“You don’t have to bear everything on your own, you know?” Romeo continued.
Arabella seemed to have never opened up to anyone, whether it was good or bad, even with Kelly Piper, it was just a few simple words. But now, seeing Romeo’s caring gaze, she nodded, “Okay” She would do her best to share her feelings.
Romeo gently caressed her face, smiling indulgently, “Let’s go, we’ll have breakfast.”
After breakfast, Arabella arrived at the company, and amidst a pile of reports, she discovered new clues. Her slender fingers lightly tapped the desk as she pondered how many hidden secrets Oscar still had that she had yet to uncover.
“Ms. Bennett, Designer Molly wants to meet you!” Dean’s voice echoed from outside the door.
“Come in”
When Molly entered, traces of tears were still evident in her eyes.
“Ms. Bennett, good morning. These are my recent autumn designs.”
Molly respectfully handed over the design drafts to Arabella, a smile on her face.
But it was not hard to see that her smile was forced and even held a hint of sadness.
“Mr. Samual wanted me to show you the drafts. He said you’re the real design master.”
Arabella looked at Molly’s swollen eyes, “Have you been crying?”
Molly shook her head, but couldn’t help but start sobbing lightly again.
“Sit down, take a moment to calm down.”
Arabella didn’t pressure her, instead, she handed her a tissue, allowing her to let out her feelings.
Molly’s tears fell drop by drop. She tried to control herself several times, but her emotions got the better of her.
Dean outside the door had no clue what had happened, he shrugged in confusion.
He texted Arabella: [I have no idea what’s up with Designer Molly. Should I ask?]
Arabella replied calmly: “No need.”
When Molly had cried herself out, Arabella poured her a glass of water and placed it in front of her, “Drink some water first.”
“Ms. Bennett.” Molly didn’t expect Arabella to pour her water personally. A stranger treated her so kindly, thinking of her own family/her emotions started to flare up again. Arabella watched her sob and asked calmly, “Is it about work?”
Molly shook her head.
“Family issues?”
Molly nodded.
Arabella got the hint. Only family could hurt someone this deep.–
At this, Molly started crying again. She really didn’t want to bring personal stuff into work, but every time she thought about it, she felt so angry and wronged!
“I haven’t told my mom about this yet,” Molly choked on her words, tears falling like rain.
Arabella waited until she stopped crying before asking/“Did your family do it?”
“Yes!” Molly recalled her heartless family members, and tears streamed down her face. “In fact, my family also owns a clothing company,” Molly wiped her tears and continued, “This company was founded by my grandfather, and my father took over after his passing. But a few years ago, my father suddenly passed away in a car accident.”
