Chapter 58
“What?? Boss, I know you’re just blowing off steam!” Jones hastily stepped forward. “Boss, are you really tired after surgery on Phillip? Can I massage your legs?”
“Back off, dare you touch the boss’s legs? If the boss chops off your hands later, I won’t stop her!” Jack scolded, then turned his head with a grin, “Boss, how about I massage your shoulders? Loosen up your muscles?”
“Dare to loosen up the boss’s muscles? Aren’t you afraid of being punched to death by the boss?”
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Jack and Jones looked at each other in an instant, had they been discovered? Or?
“Sweetie, are you asleep?”
It was Louisa’s voice outside the door. Had Louisa discovered something and knocked on the door on purpose?
“Not yet.” The girl’s voice was gentler, but when she looked at her two subordinates, her tone was deliberately lowered. “Take the check and disappear from my sight in ten seconds.”
“Boss.”
Jack wanted to say something but heard Arabella’s ruthless–voice: “Or I will confiscate your bonus.”
Jack heard this, immediately jumped off the balcony, “See you, boss!”
“Why won’t you wait for me?” Jones saw him run so fast, then turned his head to see the boss’s slightly squinting eyes with a warning light and hastily said, “Boss, I’m leaving right away.”
“You have three seconds.”
Jones heard this and rushed to the balcony. “But there are dogs down there; I’m scared to jump!”
“Sweetie, can I come in?” Louisa’s voice came from outside the door.
Arabella looked up. Jones had jumped down, but one hand was still holding the rail; he was obviously very afraid of the dog below.
Speaking of which, that dog was really fierce, barking at him nonstop.
It looked like she could only help him out.
“Boss.”
Jones thought the boss was going to help him, but didn’t expect the boss to kick him straight down, he fell onto the grass, his butt was killing him! How could the boss treat him like this?
At this time, the big dog saw him, barked wildly at him, and opened its sharp teeth, ready to bite him.
“Ah.” Jones was scared and hurriedly ran away.
Arabella saw him run far away, then opened the door and said, “Mom, are you not asleep yet?”
“I’m worried you’re hungry; I didn’t know you were having dinner with Romeo tonight. Did you eat enough?” Louisa came in with a tray and faintly heard some strange sounds. “Sweetie, did you hear any sounds? Like a man being ‘chased by a dog?“.
There were men’s screams and dog barks. It sounded like a pretty miserable scene.
“No.” Arabella answered very calmly.
“Maybe I heard it wrong.” Louisa put down the tray in her hand, and the beautifully made desserts appeared in front of her. “Eat quickly.”
“Did you make this?” Arabella was a bit surprised–how did her mother’s cooking skills become so good? And these desserts looked delicious.
The chef made it.”
She was afraid that Arabella wouldn’t be able to eat the food she made, so she asked the chef to make some.
“Eat quickly!” Louisa looked at her lovingly and said, “You just came to this family; if there is anything you are not used to, you must tell me, okay?” Arabella took the fork handed over by her, “I got it.”
“About you coming home, your father and I have decided not to announce it for now.”
Firstly, her grandparents were not in good health, and they were not ready to hear such important news.
Secondly, there were too many relatives in the family; if they knew about it, they would definitely come to see Arabella in droves.
Thirdly, if they announced her identity, the media would be following their daughter all the time, her every move would attract attention, and people would be commenting on her, they were worried that Arabella would live in restraint, not at ease.
Louisa spoke of her worries: “Wait for a suitable time, and then we will announce this news.”
Arabella didn’t expect her mother to talk to her about these things; she spoke lightly, “I don’t care about these.”
Whether or not it was announced, whether or not the family’s relatives liked it, was not the most important thing. As long as the family was together, they were of one mind.
