When Attlee disclosed the companyâs predicament to her, she immediately assured him, âMom, Dad, Iâll help the company out!â
âWhat a good kid!â
After Arabella got home, she found a crowd in the living room, all showering Serena with praises.
âSerena, youâre amazing! You won first place in the piano competition!â
âItâs such a blessing to work in this household, getting to listen to such refined piano playing every day.â
âSerenaâs piano playing is truly enchanting!â
Louisa was the first to notice Arabellaâs return. âHoney, youâre home from work? Was your first day exhausting? Did anyone at the company give you a tough time?â âMs. Bennett is home?â
âFolks at the company were saying that the person who took charge today was really impressive. They donât even know theyâre talking about my precious daughter, haha.â
Noticing all the attention on Arabella, Serena, feeling a bit jealous, walked over âSis, youâre backâ?â She put on a gracious smile and said, âHow about we all go out for a meal tomorrow? On one hand, to celebrate your taking over the company, and on the other, to welcome you back home! What do you think?â
She purposely didnât mention her first place win, feigning concern for Arabella.
âWe havenât really taken you around since you got back, and youâve been working hard. Letâs go out for a meal,â
Serena, seizing the opportunity, took Louisa and Kennethâs arms and cooed, âDad, Mom, what do you think?â
âI think itâs a good idea.â Louisa looked at Kenneth, who also nodded, and said, âBella, what do you think?â
âWhatever is fineâ Arabella didnât want to upset her parents. Seeing them cheerfully making reservations, she absentmindedly went upstairs, freshened up, and went to bed!
The next day, Romeo dropped her off at work. On the way, he sounded a bit upset upon hearing about the family dinner âDidnât you promise to spend your free time with me?â
Arabella hesitated. âI forgot.â
She genuinely hadnât thought of him when she agreed.
âYouâre not taking me to the family dinner?â
âNext timeâ
âThen you owe me doubleâ Romeo held her hand tighter and said, âIf youâre not having dinner with me, then letâs have lunch together.â âAlrightâ
After a dayâs work, Arabella arrived at The Happy Chef with Romeo, saying. âOkay, no need to pick me up later, Iâll go home with my parentsâ
âCall me when you get home.â
âSure.â
Meanwhile.
It took Attlee a lot of effort to richest person in Tranquil City!
* room at The Happy Chef. Even though it was the lowest tier, it wasnât something just anyone could book, unless they were the Mrs. Panter didnât think much of Yolanda, who was raised by a cleaner and had an aura of poverty about her, even when dressed in designer clothes. The occasional glimpse of selfâdoubt and sensitivity in her eyes couldnât be concealed However, upon hearing that Yolanda won second place in a piano competition, Mrs. Panterâs attitude improved slightly. But when she heard Attleeâs request, she wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, âMr. Murphy, Iâm afraid we canât help with this.â
âWhat?â Attlee thought heâd heard wrong
