The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1182

Chapter 1182

The man who stepped in was the deputy manager of the corporation. He'd received word that Belinda, the head of HR, had spoken out against him to Mr. McMillian, blaming him for the recent staff changes in the company.

He had just intended to step in and defend himself, but instead, his attention was caught by the sight of a young woman lounging on the couch. She was engrossed in her phone with one hand, and in the other, she held a bag of potato chips, munching away without a care in the world.

Lou froze in disbelief. Who on earth was this girl? How could she be so bold as to eat junk food on Mr.

MeMillian's priceless leather couch? Everyone knew that Mr. McMillian not only kept his distance from women but was also a bit of a clean freak.

If even a single crumb of her chips fell onto Mr. McMillian’s expensive carpet, she wouldn't be getting away with it.

Yet there she was, eating her chips as if she didn't have a single worry in the world.

“Had your fill of watching?"

The voice came from Romeo, who had just walked in carrying an armload of drinks from the snack cabinet, his squinted eyes reflecting a hint of danger.

Lou's eyes widened in shock, wondering if his eyesight was failing him.

Only a few months ago, Mr. McMillian had put a six-foot-tall cabinet in his office. Lou had speculated multiple times about what secrets it might hold, only to find out now that it was filled with snacks and drinks.

Seeing was believing, but Lou still found it hard to believe.

“Mr. McMillian, I need to speak with you"

Lou stared in shock as Romeo placed the drinks on the coffee table in front of the couch. With a gentle tone, he addressed the girl, "The coffee is still hot. Take a look at these, see if there's anything you'd like to drink."

There were juices, sodas, other beverages, and even bottled water.
