The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1876

Just as Ophelia stepped out of the main building, Sean caught up with her. "Wait up."

Why did he follow her out??

She felt even more uncomfortable now.

"About the project thing. It was a fault made by my team. It's sorted now, and no one will block your projects again," he said.

Ophelia hadn't expected him to come out and talk about this. She nodded, "Thanks."

"Don't mention it," Sean replied. Seeing her about to leave, he couldn't help but try to keep her a little longer, "Maybe stay a while?"

"Bella's leaving for a trip abroad. I don't want to delay her schedule."

She intended to let Bella finish her work early, then go back and rest at home.

Seeing that Sean was still standing in front of her and not planning to move, Ophelia asked in a cool voice, "Is there anything else?"

Sean suddenly remembered something and handed her a tube of ointment, "Bella wanted me to give this to you. You should take care of that cut on your forehead. Don't get it wet. And if it hurts, you can tell me."

Ophelia was puzzled. Why should she tell him?

"I can ask Bella to see if she has a solution to the pain," Sean said, worried that his ulterior motive would be revealed, "Last night, Bella said your wound was from a glass shard, and it was kind of deep. You'll need to apply this ointment for a couple of weeks to prevent scarring."

Bella hadn't mentioned any ointment last night, but today she had asked him to pick up the tube from the coffee table, probably this very one.

"Alright." Ophelia took the ointment, and they fell into an awkward silence.

Then, as Sean saw some flowers in the dirt beside them, it occurred to him , "Oh, right."
