Chapter 140

“Bella, this employee is doing such a great job, shouldn’t we give him a raise?” Romeo said from the other end of the video call.

Upon hearing this, Dean immediately perked up, eyes full of anticipation as he looked at Arabella.

“If you don’t leave now, I’ll donate your bonus this month to charity.”

Upon hearing this, Dean nearly lost his footing in surprise and quickly got up, “I’m leaving right now!”

“Watch what you say when you leave.”

“Got it, Ms. Bennett. Rest assured, I won’t breathe a word about your relationship to anyone…” Dean wasn’t paying attention and bumped his head on the office door. Wincing in pain, he covered his forehead and made a quick exit.

“Happy now?” Arabella turned to the man on her phone, her tone laced with resignation.

Romeo flashed a triumphant grin, “Wouldn’t it be great if everyone knew about us?”

“Bella, when can I go public?” Romeo asked next.

Dean had mentioned someone in the office planning to confess to her? That’s just asking for trouble.

Looking at his handsome face, Arabella felt overwhelmed, “I’m hanging up now.”

“Hold on.”

“What is it?”

“I just want to see you.” Romeo leaned his handsome face closer to the camera, his eyes filled with deep affection. “Don’t you have work to do?” Arabella had heard Carl’s voice earlier and knew Romeo had other things to take care of. “Do I?” Romeo’s gaze fell on Carl.

Carl braced himself to answer, “No…”
