The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1022

Chapter 1022

"Serena, what's the rush for the dress? Let me guess, your period came unexpectedly and stained it? We waited for you outside for quite some time, and when you didn't show up, we figured you might be dealing with your monthly visitor. We rushed to the store to get you some feminine hygiene products."

At that, Serena's anger deflated a little. "Just get it over here, will you?"

Alma was in for it now!

Meanwhile.

Beverly called Alma with the sudden news. Mr. Eugene and Grandpa Nathan had moved their tea time up, and they were at a nearby tea house at that very moment.

Beverly asked Alma to be ready, as their farnily car would soon arrive at the school gate with a stylist and makeup artist inside. Today, it was imperative that they make a good impression on Mr. Eugene.

At that moment.

In a tea house filled with the fragrant aroma of tea, Mr. Eugene and Grandpa Nathan were engaged in a tea tasting.

“You're harder and harder to get a hold of, you old coot,’ Grandpa Nathan complained, though his face was full of smile. “I've been trying to set this up for months!"

Mr. Eugene chuckled heartily. "Well, I've been chasing after the younger generation, hoping to find a worthy successor."

"Still no luck? Perhaps you should consider someone else if it's not working out"

In her introduction, she did not mention her own prestigious background as a member of the Collins family but introduced herself as Alma's mother. This humble approach left a favorable impression on Mr. Eugene.

Alma also greeted him politely, revealing herself as a person of good manners and character.

"I've known Grandpa Nathan for over twenty years, and this is the first time he's recommended someone to me."

Although the name “Alma” rang a bell with Mr. Eugene, he hadn't paid much attention to anyone else at Summerfield College. Today, his focus was on Arabella.

"I truly believe this child is clever and quick-witted, with great potential. She has won countless chess awards since she was young.’ Grandpa Nathan said, turning to Alma. "Did you bring any of your certificates or trophies to show to Grandpa Eugene?"

Alma smiled gracefully. “I wouldn't dare embarrass myself in front of you two gentlemen. Those awards might impress the average person, but given your profound skills in chess, it would be like a novice trying to show off their sword skills in front of the master."
