The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1805

Who his sister would pick was a no-brainer.

"Head to the cinema and find out which auditorium they're in. Choose the seats at the very back, right at the edge."

"Got it."

Arriving at the cinema, Romeo grabbed some popcorn and candy and even rented out the entire theater. He told the staff that later two guys would show up, demanding to come in, and instructed the staff to let them in. The latter nodded in agreement.

Romeo took Arabella by the hand and led her to Auditorium 1, where it was just the two of them for the time being.

Romeo pulled Arabella into the seats right in the middle and, once seated, offered her a sip of soda.

Steward, crouching and sneaking in, turned his head to see Sean walking in with swagger. He quickly pulled him aside and slid into the seats at the far edge.

As soon as Sean sat down, he caught sight of Romeo sharing a soda with his sister and couldn't help but let out an expletive.

"Son of a bitch."

So stingy, sharing a single drink. Was this guy so broke in his past life?? Now he won't even spare a girl her own soda??

"Man, Mr. McMillian's really pinching pennies, buying just one of everything. I mean, some couples share, sure, but that's when they're all lovey-dovey. Mr. McMillian, on his first date with Ms. Collins, should at least spring for one each."

The real kicker was that Ms. Collins didn't seem to mind his backwash, which was a real shocker.

The movie started playing soon after. Steward saw the title and nearly lost it.
