The Princess and the Paupers

Chapter 492

After a while, Yolanda finally noticed something off. “Mom, look at their clothes.”

Everyone was dressed to the nines; even Arabella was in a light pink suit, her hair pulled up high, and she radiated a cool yet aloof aura.

They, on the other hand, seemed to be misfits.

“Did we wear the wrong clothes?” Yolanda felt uncomfortable in her dress, and it finally clicked why they received puzzled and annoyed looks at the

entrance.

It turned out they were dressed inappropriately!

Olga realized it too and felt a tad embarrassed. They had never been to a land auction before and had no clue about the dress code.

Attlee tried to comfort them, saying, “Even if we did dress wrongly, it’s no biggie. People will only care about who bags the land, not what you’re wearing.” Romeo and Arabella sat side by side in the front row, their hands tightly clasped. Hans, sitting next to them, said coldly, “Keep some distance.”

The AC is too cold; I’m just trying to warm Arabella’s hands. I’ll let go soon.”

On hearing Romeo, Hans turned to Arabella and asked, “Are you cold?”

“Um–hmm.” Arabella could only nod in agreement.

Hans took off his coat and gently laid it on Arabella’s lap, saying, “Wrap this around you. I’ll get someone to turn up the heat.”

“No need.” Arabella didn’t finish her sentence before Hans was already speaking to a staff member.

“Your high ponytail looks great.” Romeo brushed a strand of hair from Arabella’s forehead, admiring her delicate features, and gently said, “You look good in a suit too.”

“You look good today too.” Arabella looked into his eyes and said softly, “I’ll give you that piece of land later.”
