My Quick-witted Baby (Arabella and Kenneth) novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189

"Well, that is exactly what I struggle with. Everyone wants you to leave Confidential Medical Institute, but we both know clearly that it is not that simple. You had nothing to do with Mr. Lucero when you came here, as you were named by Mr. Gilbert himself and worked here directly... So Arabella, what is your relationship with Mr. Gilbert exactly?"

Arabella raised her arched eyebrows, "Well, Ms. Roth, I have nothing to do with Mr. Gilbert. It is just that I have met him a few times before. He once gave me a phone number and told me that I could call him at any time if I had interest in working in the institute. He said that I was always welcome here."

"..."

Elise's face collapsed as she heard that. Dario Gilbert, the leader of the Institute, was a famous national scholar of today, playing a very important role in genetic epidemiology. How could he give the phone number to a girl from the countryside and say something like "the portals of the Institute were always opening to her"...

"Well, Arabella, you are so young, but how can you feed us a line? Who do you think you are? How can Mr. Gilbert say something like that to you?" Elise didn't believe it at all.

Arabella shrugged. She could do nothing if Ms. Roth didn't believe what she had said.

Elise just felt that Arabella had no fear or worry at all with her attitude. Elise was wondering who Arabella's backing was since she was so confident, "Look, Arabella, I will call Mr. Gilbert now to expose your lie!"

"Ms. Roth, please go ahead."

Quickly Elise dialed Mr. Gilbert. She didn't think that Arabella would be as calm as now when the lie was exposed.

Soon the phone was connected, where the solemn voice from Mr. Gilbert came, "Hello, Ms. Roth."

"Hello, Mr. Gilbert. I'm sorry to disturb you, but there is something wrong with Arabella..."

"Arabella?" He quickly interrupted Elise, "Is Bella here now? Let me have a word with her."

Finding that Mr. Gilbert was rather anxious, Elise was surprised. She would think that Arabella was his granddaughter if she knew nothing about the truth. Arabella just said that she didn't know Mr. Gilbert well, didn't she?
