The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1248

Chapter 1248

“Hans, how could you possibly think that? Martha has been taking care of me diligently for eighteen years. She has done a lot of hard work."

Serena explained sincerely, “I know it's wrong of me to bad-mouth Arabella to friends, but this really has nothing to do with Martha. Hans, no matter what happens in the future, if you're upset, vent it on me. Don't involve Martha."

“You seem to have a deep bond with her" Hans looked into the girl's eyes, his expression somewhat complex.

"When dad was busy with the company, mom was often accompanying him. It was Martha who stayed by my side. No matter if I had a fever, fell ill or whatever, during every bleak and peak moment of my life in the past eighteen years, it was Martha who was with me."

“So, is she better than family?"

“She's as good as family. Hans, don't think so poorly of her. She has been genuinely good to me.” Serena said, sounding a bit distressful, "You’ve deducted her pay and year-end bonus after a month of her hard work. Hans, please, don't do this again."

At this moment, Julian knocked on the door, “Mr. Collins, the person in charge of the jewelry company, Mr.

Ferber is here."

“Let him in."

"Yes."

Julian ushered Bruno Ferber in. Seeing Serena's poor state, he couldn't help but jest, "What brings you here, Serena? What happened to you?"

“I fell accidentally. Did you come to laugh at me, Mr. Ferber?" Serena retorted jokingly.

“Hahaha. My future boss, I wouldn't dare laugh at you. I'd be afraid you'd fire me." Mr. Ferber laughed heartily.

Serena was a bit confused and immediately turned to Hans. What did he mean? His future boss? She didn't understand.

Seeing her reaction, Mr. Ferber chuckled and turned to Hans, "Mr. Collins, haven't you told Serena yet that she's going to be managing the jewelry company?"

But Serena had disappointed him this time.

Mr. Ferber was confused. Looking at Hans, it didn't seem like he was joking. Then he looked at Serena; her expression seemed very disappointed.

Mr. Ferber couldn't help saying, "Mr. Collins, this plan is already halfway through."

Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to cancel it now??

“Serena is still young. Let's talk about it later in the future."

Seeing that Hans had made a decision, Mr. Ferber didn't dare to utter anything more.

"Serena, Mr. Ferber and I have other things to discuss. Why don't you go home and rest?"

“Okay.” Serena didn't know how she managed to stand up and leave Hans's office.
