The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161 

“Today, I’m gonna dock your pay!” Oscar shot her a sidelong glance. “What are you still doing standing around? Get back to work!” 

“But Ms. Bennett said I’m on personal leave today…” Molly mumbled in her defense. 

“So now you’re using Ms. Bennett against me? What, you think I’m scared of her?” 

Oscar paced around, looking at the girl in front of him, then at the entire department of employees who were defying him. It made him furious! 

“When I started managing this company, she was probably still in high school!” 

“I’ve been setting an example here for a year, and you guys chose to pick up her bad habits!” 

“So you all want to go against me?” 

“I could fire all of you, believe it or not?” 

Most of the employees lowered their heads, not daring to speak. 

“Ms. Bennett is a good person…” Molly couldn’t help but defend Arabella. 

She was only eighteen, yet capable of running a company, a highly talented designer, always coming up with new ideas and creative concepts to elevate the design 

work. 

Also, she was a great leader, caring about her employees, helping them solve problems… 

Where else could you find such a boss? 

“Do you think you’re untouchable because you’re under her protection? You’ve learned how to sow discord, huh? Let me tell you, I’m docking your pay today, got it? If you disagree, you can quit!” 

After delivering his rant, Oscar took two steps before a small rock came flying and struck his knee… 

He was taken aback by the sudden pain, stumbling forward, and hitting his chin on a flower pot, immediately drawing blood. 

“Are you okay…” 

Before thé employees could figure out what happened, Oscar was already on the ground, in too much pain to get up. 

Molly was stunned, unsure why Oscar had fallen. Was it a balance issue? Or was it due to old age? 

“Mr. Oscar, there’s no need for you to kneel for me.” 

Suddenly, a cool voice rang out. 

Everyone turned to the source of the voice. It was Arabella! 

Molly’s eyes lit up at the sight of Arabella, like she was her savior, she was overjoyed! 

Arabella stood there, her aura powerful, her gaze cool as she looked at Oscar on the ground, “The leave was approved by me, do I need your consent to do my job?” Oscar clutched his chin, too much in pain to speak. 

A few employees rushed over to help him up.” 

Oscar stared at Arabella, wanting to say something, but the pain in his chin made it impossible.
