The Princess and the Paupers

Chapter 597

After a while, Romeo’s phone started to ring.

Arabella knocked on the bathroom door, “Your phone has been ringing off the hook want me to grab it for you?”

Probably some urgent matter from the group. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be buzzing him like crazy.

“Just answer it for me,” Romeo replied from the bathroom.

“Me?”

Was that appropriate?

“If it’s work–related, tell them to contact Carl. If it’s personal, you make the call”

Arabella picked up his phone and saw it was Grandpa Phillip calling.

“Grandpa Phillip, it’s Arabella” Arabella looked towards the bathroom, wanting to explain that Romeo was in the shower but worried about any misunderstanding.

To her surprise, Phillip McMillian jumped the gun, excitedly saying, “You’re with Romeo? Bella, has your activities been tough? Are you tired? Has President Barton been treating you well? Has anyone been giving you a hard time at school?”

Arabella smiled and said, Tm doing great.”

“If anyone gives you a hard time, you have to tell me, and I’ll sort it out! How’s the environment at school? Do you like the food? Do you need anything? I can personally deliver it to you!”

“No need, everything’s great.” Arabella didn’t expect Grandpa Phillip to be so caring, and it warmed her heart.

“That’s good, as long as no one’s giving you a hard time.” Phillip said, relieved, “What’s Romeo up to? I’ve called him many times, but he hasn’t picked up.” “He” Arabella glanced at the bathroom again, “He’s on the throne.”

“Oh, he’s on the throne, that explains it.”

“Do you have any urgent matters?”
