The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 106

[Even though I rarely go to the cafeteria, I’ve heard grumbles from the staff about it for a while now]

Dean also attached a picture, adding [Mr. Oscar’s relative runs this cafeteria, charging us a whole buck

per meal!]

Arabella’s slender fingers typed back, “Looks like the food is kinda meh.”

[The food has been okay these past few days! The kitchen staff knows you’re shaking up the company,

so we even got fish soup for lunch today! Take a look.]

Dean sent over another picture.

Arabella looked at the color of the soup, “Something’s off about the color.”

[Huh? What? Boss, don’t freak me out… isn’t fish soup supposed to be white?]

Arabella zoomed in on the picture, then looked at the other foods Dean captured, replying, “Save me

some samples of everything. I’ll check it out when I get back.”

Dean felt his appetite vanish at her words!

Romeo noticed she was continuously replying to messages, “Busy? Something up at the company?”

“A bit Arabella finished her meal, planning to return to the company cafeteria to check things out, “Let’s

head back.”

She had barely stood up and taken a few steps before Romeo pulled her back into his arms.

“It’s still early.” Romeo gazed at her beautiful profile, “Stay with me a bit longer.”

Arabella was a bit exasperated. Hadn’t she already accompanied him for lunch? Wasn’t that enough?

“I want you with me.” Romeo held her tighter, breathing in her scent, “I miss you. Seeing you makes me

want to be with you. I hope you can always be by my side.” The two waitstaff and the restaurant

manager who overheard were quite surprised…

Is the notoriously cold and ruthless Romeo whispering sweet nothings to a girl? Had they misheard, or

were the rumors wrong?

“People are watching.” Arabella’s tone was a mix of helplessness and annoyance. This man seemed to

be getting clingier, and his words blunter.

Romeo glanced around. The restaurant manager and the two waitstaff immediately turned around,

daring not to stare at them any longer.

“Bella.” Romeo’s arms tightened around the girl before him, his voice seductive, “I want to do

everything couples do.“.

Arabella was speechless.

“I want to do it many times.”

“I don’t have time.” Arabella had been so bothered by him lately that she could hardly get any private

work done.

“I can wait for you to finish.” Romeo predicted her refusal by gently saying, “Wait until you’re free to be

with me.”

The Ferris wheel slowly reached its peak, Arabella’s eyes filled with the beautiful cityscape, but all she

could hear was, “I like you.”

This was the first time Romeo had said “I like you” since they met. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

She was a bit taken aback. Before she could react, he continued, “I like holding you like this. I like

being with you. I like you as you are, regardless of your temperament or looks. I like it all.”

Carl checked the time, planning to pick up Mr. McMillian and Ms. Bella.

But as he opened the door, he saw three people making strange faces at him, seemingly telling him not

to interrupt Mr. McMillian’s romantic moment.

Carl vaguely heard Romeo’s confession, and he couldn’t believe it, looking at the two entwined figures

not far away…

“Arabella, I like you.” Romeo gently kissed her cheek.

Arabella could feel her cheeks getting warm, her body feeling a bit hot. A strange sensation surged in

her heart, was it…falling in love?

If not, then why was her heartbeat accelerating?

“I hope to be with you every day.” Romeo held her close, his handsome face gently rubbing against her

delicate one-

Arabella didn’t reject this intimacy and didn’t push him away, but after a while, she calmly said, “We

should get going.”

It was getting late.
