Chapter 353
When Molly heard the news, she was freaked out big time Mr Collins’s kindness and strictness were all too real, they were beyond imagination!
He could scold his own brother without any hesitation, that was simply horrifying!
“David is coming back?” Arabella was a bit surprised
“Yeah, not sure when, though, don’t bother about him” Hans put some fish onto Arabella’s plate, thinking to himself, No more chances to help his sister from now on, David really hit the jackpot!
“That’s too much, I can’t finish it‘ Arabella didn’t want him to add more to her plate. “If you’re not eating, neither am I.”
“Okay Seeing the shrimps were mostly peeled, Hans wiped his hands with a disinfectant wipe and said, “I’ll wash my hands first, then I’ll add some soup for you, then I’ll eat”
After Hans left, Molly couldn’t help but nudge Arabella with her elbow: “Oh my God, I’ve never seen Mr. Collins this gentle before. Bella, you’re so lucky to have such a good big brother, he defended you in front of everyone last time, and now he’s peeling shrimp for you. I wish I had a big brother like that!”
“Your mom is good to you too, isn’t she?” Arabella gently smiled; this kind of affection and care from family was something she hadn’t experienced in the Murphy family for eighteen years, except for a bit of warmth from Grannie Grace.
The employees around were all discussing:
“Mr. Collins must like Ms. Bennett! I bet ten bucks!”
“Some colleague wrote a love letter to Ms. Bennett in an email this morning; he was immediately transferred to another subsidiary after Mr. Collins found out! Isn’t that enough to prove Mr. Collins’s feelings?”
“Yes, it’s all so obvious; I can’t wait to see their sweet moments!”
“Will the company give us a day off if they get married?”
“So jealous of Ms. Bennett, I wish Mr. Collins would be that gentle with me.”
Hans brought a bowl of soup to Arabella, shared a lot of his food with her, and then started eating.
Halfway through, he suddenly asked, “Bella, do you have a favorite flower?”
“Flower?” Arabella was taken aback. “Marigold, I guess.”
What was he asking for?
“Shall I have someone plant marigolds around your balcony?
This way, when he’s abroad, she would think of him when she saw these flowers.
He’s afraid she’ll forget him when her other brothers come back!
Arabella had no idea what he was thinking; she just nodded, “Okay.”
She thought he was acting a bit strange all of a sudden.
After lunch, Arabella went back to the office, and Julian immediately put the purchased items in front of her.
“Ms. Bella, these are some newly bought coffee beans; would you like to try them?”
“Coffee sounds nice.”
“Til brew it for you right away!”
After Julian made the coffee, he brought a cup to Hans and one to Arabella and said, “Ms. Bella, have a taste; how’s the flavor? Is it too bitter? Do you need some sugar?”
“It’s fine; you go do your work.” After Arabella said that, she looked at Hans sitting on the sofa and couldn’t help but ask, “Do you really like this brand of coffee that much?”
“Yes, this coffee has a rich flavor without being bitter, and the aroma is fragrant without being greasy, truly a rare taste.” Hans replied gently, “You should have a
taste”
After that, he turned to Julian and asked, “Have you told them yet?”
“Yes. I’ve informed the procurement department that from now on, Ms. Bennett’s coffee will be sent directly from the headquarters; there is no need for the procurement department to buy it separately.”
“Hmm” Hans lifted his coffee for a sip
