The Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 102

Did he make a billion–dollar deal, Or maybe he pulled one over on a rival? Or did he just acquire a

couple of powerhouse companies?

If not, then why the grin that won’t leave his face?

“Look up popular restaurants and places of interest that young women might enjoy in the area.”

Hearing Romeo’s words, Carl had an ‘aha‘ moment. So, his good mood has something to do with Ms.

Bella! When he walked into the office earlier, he saw Romeo on the phone with someone. Could that

someone be Ms. Bella?

“Mr. McMillian, you’re taking quite an interest in Ms. Bella, aren’t you?”

In the past, Romeo never asked him to search for popular restaurants and attractions. A simple meal

was enough before returning to work. But ever since he met Ms. Bella, the aloof Romeo seemed to be

warming up. At least his eyes were no longer only occupied by work.

“It can’t be all about work. It’s time to consider a personal life,”

Hearing Romeo say this, Carl was left with a few questions in his mind.

“Mr. McMillian, are you talking about me?”

“Who else?” Romeo glanced at him, saying nonchalantly, “When you have a girlfriend, you won’t have

to work weekends, and your pay will increase.”

Has Romeo changed? Could Ms. Bella have such an allure that she introduced Romeo to the

sweetness of love?

“Thank you! I’ll get a girlfriend as soon as I can.”

As Carl said this, preparing to leave with his files, he saw Romeo’s phone light up with a new message.

What surprised Carl was not the message but Romeo’s lock screen and home screen wallpaper: a

girl’s silhouette. And it was Ms. Bella! All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Like what you see?” Romeo noticed his gaze and asked casually.

“No, I wouldn’t dare look at Ms. Bella…” Carl lowered his head, no longer daring to look.

“So you’re saying she’s not good–looking?”

“Of course not…” Carl said, breaking out in a cold sweat, “Ms. Bella is so beautiful. Words can’t

describe her beauty. She is like a fairy descended to earth, unique in the world. You two are a match

made in heaven.”

Romeo smiled and said, “You sure have a way with words.”

“I’m not very cultured, and it’s just that Ms. Bella’s beauty has inspired all the beautiful words in my

mind. It’s because Ms..Bella is so beautiful!”

“Carl.”

“Yes, Mr. McMillian, what do you need?” Carl felt a bit uneasy.

“Have I ever treated you poorly since you started working with me at eight?”

Romeo’s question took Carl aback.

“No, you’ve given me the highest salary in the industry! I’m delighted!”

“No, you can’t just look at the present, be content with the status quo.”

Carl was a bit puzzled.

“From this month on, your salary will be doubled.”
