The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1878

"Alright, everyone, cut it out," Arabella said with a tone that was half amusement and half exasperation, her gaze sweeping over her brothers before settling on Sean. "We can't leave just yet. The Velvet Royale hasn't been sorted, and we're still one outfit short from completion."

It dawned on Sean then: How could he have forgotten about the Velvet Royale! He wondered if the staff downstairs had found it.

"What's this Velvet Royale ?" Hans and Chasel asked in unison.

Was their little sister in trouble?

Why hadn't she told them?

Just then, Sean's phone rang, and his voice brightened with a hint of joy, "Found it? Has it been delivered to QY? Good, well done."

After hanging up, he turned to Arabella and said, "The Velvet Royale's been located, I've had it sent to QY already."

"Thanks, Sean," Arabella replied promptly, "I’m going to check on it."

"I'll come with you!"

As Sean dutifully followed Arabella, Hans, Chasel, and Clark exchanged puzzled looks. There seemed to be something going on between those two that the rest of them weren't privy to.

When did Sean and Arabella get so close, sharing secrets that even they, her older brothers, didn't know about?

Sean accompanied Arabella to QY, and that's when he really understood the magnitude of the empire his sister had built. More importantly, she was incredibly well-liked; wherever she went, respect and affection were readily offered.

This kind of respect and affection wasn't the fearful and timid kind from subordinates to a boss, it felt more like the warmth between friends.

"President Arabella, long time no see!"

"President Arabella, so glad you could make it! You've gotten even more beautiful!"

"Hello, President Arabella, and who is this gentleman?"
