Chapter 459
I’ll take that toast; consider the wine drunk.”
“Alright, consider mine drunk too.”
It was clear to everyone that Kenneth deeply respected Louisa’s thoughts, and Romeo had high regard for Arabella’s opinions as well.
Romeo glanced at Arabella, leaned in, and whispered, “I was late, so I punished myself with three drinks; no more after this.”
“Oh.”
“What got you so busy at work today? Why did you finish so late?” Romeo leaned in to ask her, studying her expression.
Arabella’s eyes were incredibly exquisite, paired with a sense of aloofness, and the wildness that seeped from her inner self was captivating.
“Just had a last–minute collaboration; the partner came to our company.”
So Arabella stayed to discuss the collaboration, and they happily signed a contract in the end..
“Who’s the partner?”
YC
That’s a decent company.” Romeo agreed, “Very reliable.”
Arabella laughed, saying, “It’s rare to hear praise from you.”
Their intimate and natural conversation was captivating.
Just then, there was a knock on the private room door, and David walked in.
He took off his sunglasses, all smiles and sunshine, and said, “Sorry I’m late!”
He greeted everyone cheerfully as he entered and then found Arabella, ruffling her hair, saying, “Little sis, I’m here! Get me a seat!”
Originally, Kenneth was sitting next to Romeo, then Arabella next to Romeo, and Serena next to Arabella. But David insisted on squeezing in between Arabella and Serena.
Actually, he wanted to sit between Romeo and Arabella, but he was worried about the reactions from his parents and Romeo.
“Were you busy today, Bella?” David sat down, and before Arabella could answer, he turned to Romeo and said, “Look at how hard Bella’s working running a company at such a young age; you should help her out.”
“I’d like to.”
But she wouldn’t let him, so all he could do was look for other ways to cooperate privately, which was tough.
“I can handle it.” Arabella was clearly defending Romeo.
The corners of Romeo’s lips lifted instantly; he could tell that Arabella really cared for him!
“How about taking a break from work tomorrow? David can take you out.” David was also hoping for a chance to get closer to his sister. Without waiting for Arabella’s refusal, he whined, “In a few days, I’ll start working, and then you won’t see me for months.”
“Then Bella’s ears will get a break.” Romeo added.
“You can’t wait for me to leave!”
Alma noticed Serena’s awkward look. From the moment Romeo entered to David’s appearance, their attention was all on Arabella, and no one gave Serena a second glance.
