The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352 

At high noon, the restaurant staff nearly dropped their utensils in shock when they saw Hans and Arabella strut in together. 

Mr. Collins still hasn’t left the company? He’s still eating lunch with Ms. Bennett? 

Did he really have a thing for Ms. Bennett, just like the rumors suggest? 

But there’s at least a six- or seven–year age gap between them! 

Was this a classic case of an older guy chasing after a younger girl? 

“He seems really gentle when he’s chatting with Ms. Bennett.” 

Hans leaned in to listen to Arabella, gave a nod, said a few words to the cafeteria staff, and then helped Arabella with her food. He took it to the table first, letting her sit and wait. 

“Mr. Collins is such a gentleman! Helping Ms. Bennett with her food before getting his own. No trouble at all.” 

“Bella!!” 

At this point, Molly, who had just gotten her food, saw Arabella sitting alone at the table. She joyfully carried her tray and sat next to her. “Why are you alone? Did Mr. Collins leave?” 

No sooner had she said this than she saw Hans approaching them with his tray. 

“Mr. Collins?” Molly was surprised. “Did I take your seat? Sorry, I’ll just” 

“It’s okay; let’s eat together.” 

Hans sat across from Arabella, wiped his hands with a sanitizing wipe, and began peeling shrimp. 

“Mr. Collins, do you like shrimp too? Just like Bella, you guys both love seafood.” 

“I’m peeling them for her.” Hans placed the peeled shrimp one by one on Arabella’s plate and said, “Eat up; I ordered all these dishes for you.” 

None of the dishes he liked were ordered. 

“Bella, your brother is so good to you.” Molly couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Collins, you should try our cafeteria food. Ever since Bella revamped the cafeteria, the food here is so much better. Fresh, delicious, and cheap!” 

“Really?” Hans placed the peeled shrimp into Arabella’s bowl and said, “I’ll give it a try later.” 

He turned to Arabella and gave her a small smile, saying, “Your staff speaks highly of you.” 

“Molly is my good friend, not just a staff member.” 

Their relationship had already surpassed that of boss and employee. 

“Well, invite your good friend over to our place sometime.” Having finished peeling the shrimp, Hans added a piece of meat to Arabella’s bowl.
