The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 99

“Had enough fun watching?” Arabella’s voice suddenly broke the silence.

People outside scattered at once, apparently not daring to linger. Clearly, this new CEO was not one

to be trifucked with.

Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, Dean couldn’t help but approach, offering a cup of coffee, “Ms.

Bennett, if Linda doesn’t come to you on her own, were you just gonna let her slide?”

Arabella took a sip of her coffee, as Dean muttered to himself, “She’s done so much crap, if you just

let her off the hook like this, wouldn’t that be letting her off too easy?”

“Of course not.” Confidence sparkled in Arabella’s eyes, “She’ll definitely come to me.”

How do you know?” Dean asked.

I’ve seen the previous complaint letters, she dared to stand up to Mr. Oscar over petty things, which

means she’s got a short fuse and can’t tolerate any dissatisfaction. I fired her, she’ll feel humiliated,

and she’ll definitely come knocking.” Arabella said.

“So, you anticipated this, set a trap and let her walk right into it. Either way, you were gonna call the

cops!” Dean said.

“Of course.” How could Arabella possibly let her go? Such a pest in a large company, how much loss

had she caused over the past year?

After a few sips of coffee, Arabella added casually, “There are always some rubbernecks in the

company. They’ll definitely show up when they hear she’s coming.”

Dean looked at Arabella as if he’d seen a goddess, “So, the people who were peeping just now were

also within your calculations?”

He had been praying that these people would leave quickly. Turned out, it was all Ms. Bennett’s doing,

she did it to set an example for others?

The company has been too lax this past year. Many people, and many things need to be put back in order.” Arabella responded calmly, “You can go now.” “Yes.” Dean was still marveling as he left. Ms.

Bennett was truly a mastermind. Everything was within her control.

Elsewhere.

Romeo stared at the message he had sent. One hour and forty–two minutes had passed and still no

reply.

The girl would just forget about her fiancé when she got busy!

He couldn’t resist clicking on Arabella’s avatar, a shadow projected on a wall. Even though the shadow

was black, the elegant outline and shape were unmistakably hers. Even her shadow was beautiful.

Romeo stared at her avatar for a while, imagining what the weather was like when she took the photo,

what she was wearing that day, how she was feeling…

Thinking of her beautiful face, Romeo’s gaze unconsciously softened. He saved her avatar and then

returned to the chat screen, still no reply from her. What was she busy with? Not even a second to

check her phone. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Arabella was about to reply when her phone started vibrating, it was a call from her father. She

answered the phone, just about to say “Dad” when Kenneth cheerfully said, “Bella, you’re at the office

early again?”

That was dedication!

“I heard about Linda from the folks at the company! I can’t believe she had the audacity to deceive

everyone. You’re doing great, just a few days at the company and you’ve already uncovered such a big

issue.” Kenneth said.
