The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 623

Chapter 623 

Noticing Romeo’s gaze, Arabella lowered her head, her expression a bit awkward, not expecting to be busted again. 

“You better buckle down and learn about the corporation’s operations management, Business is a battlefield, and I won’t go easy.” 

Caden chuckled, his voice charming. “Right, you should be happy too. I believe Romeo will take good care of you. Nothing more to say so you hang up first.” 

He wanted to chat with her more but feared she might find it annoying. 

After hanging up, Arabella was the first to speak up. “I didn’t know who you were back then, so I ‘stole‘ your deal. Well, it wasn’t exactly stealing.” 

Half a year ago, she used some tricks to get the pharmaceutical factory, which was supposed to cooperate with McMillan Corporation, to switch sides and work with her instead. 

Romeo always hated when people went back on their word, so that factory was in quite a pickle. 

“How many secrets do you still have that I’m not aware of?” Romeo was also glad he didn’t make a move on BellaHealth Innovations back then, or he would be in deep water now. 

“What other secrets could there be?” Arabella put away her phone and casually said, “You heard the call. Caden isn’t causing any romantic issues. Don’t let your imagination run wild.” 

Otherwise, she’d have to keep mollifying him, which wasia pain in the ass. 

Romeo could discern the regret and reluctance in Caden’s tone; it was clear he still cared–about her. 

But since Caden didn’t spill the beans, Romeo respected him. At least this way, he and Arabella could still be friends. 

Sometimes, liking someone didn’t mean he had to say it out loud. 

“Isn’t it noon now?” Arabella suddenly said to Romeo, “I need to go back to school after lunch.” 

“In such a hurry to go back? What’s up?” Romeo asked, pulling her into his arms, “Got other plans?” 

“Mhm.” 

“What plans?” 

Arabella wanted to make him a few more outfits, but she couldn’t tell him now. She’d surprise him later. 

If she told him now, he would definitely refuse, not wanting her to tire herself out. 

“To bond with my roommates. I can’t keep neglecting them, right?” 

“Neglecting me for your roommates?” Romeo gave her a punishing kiss and said, “I’ll take you back tonight.” 

Now? No way! 

“It’ll be too late at night.” 

She had to start a new round of extracurricular activities tomorrow and barely had time to make clothes for him. By the weekend, he would be all over her, wanting 

her to be with him. 

“Now you can only be with me, who else do you want to be with?”
