Chapter 138

Her phone buzzed a few times at that moment, and Arabella picked it up to see it was Romeo calling

“Bella” Romeo’s voice was deep and magnetic, “I’ve been thinking about you.”

Arabella asked somewhat helplessly, “What’s up?”

“Are you swamped with work?” Romeo asked in his lazy but pleasing tone, “Do you need me to help

you out?”

“No need

“I’ve been thinking about you,” Romeo said, “I wish I could finish all your work for you so you’d have

time to be with me. But I still have an hour before I see you.” Romeo sounded a bit anxious, “I want to

video call you, just for a bit.”

Romeo seemed to know she would refuse, so he didn’t wait for her to speak before he started

pleading. “Just for a little while.”

Arabella stayed silent.

“Bella… Romeo pleaded again, “I promise it won’t interfere with your work.”

Arabella, having no other choice, finally agreed to his request. Soon after, his video call came through.

As soon as Arabella answered, someone knocked on her door.

“Come in.”

“Ms. Bennett, your coffee,” Dean said, placing the coffee on the desk, completely unaware of her

ongoing video call.

“Ms. Bennett, you’re famous again! The whole company is talking about you, someone even wrote a

prose piece about you.”

“Oh?” Arabella took a sip of her coffee, seeming somewhat surprised.

“Let me recite it for you…”

Dean cleared his throat and began reciting: “If Ms. Bennett gets angry with you, you should be scared;

If Ms. Bennett summons you to court, you’re going to jail; With Ms. Bennett here, the bad guys will fail;

With Ms. Bennett here, we’re sure to prevail! Whether you’re strong or weak, you better fix your

mistakes; because if Ms. Bennett takes action, you’re out of the company in a blink!”

Arabella couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless upon hearing this.

The man on the other end of the video call started laughing, seemingly entertained by the prose.

“Ms. Bennett, from this prose, it’s clear how highly everyone respects you… when you presented that

evidence to those five people today, it was so cool! Do you know what the other people in the company

are saying about you?” Dean spoke excitedly. “The female employees say they’re attracted to you,

hoping to marry you! And some of the male employees are planning to confess their feelings for you

after work.”

Arabella almost choked on her coffee upon hearing this.

“They’re saying you’ve only been here for a week and you’ve already found seven problematic people,

including some on the production line… They’re all betting that within a week, you’ll send Oscar to the

police station.”

Dean leaned in close to Arabella, smiling, “Ms. Bennett, I bet a buck, not sure if I can win…”

Arabella casually replied, “Bet more.”

“Huh?”

Arabella lazily said, “Raise the stakes.”

Upon hearing this, Dean became instantly excited, “Ms. Bennett, are you sure? If you are, I’m willing to

bet all my money!”

Arabella hadn’t even responded yet.

“But right now the evidence isn’t enough, the police might let him go…” Dean said regretfully…

“Wouldn’t it be good if he gets away?” Arabella raised an eyebrow, speaking with interest, “I’d actually

prefer if they let him go.”

“Huh?” Dean was confused, why would she want that?

No one can fully comprehend Arabella’s thoughts, but as Dean observed her brimming confidence, he

had a strong premonition that he was going to win!

He must increase the stakes!

“By the way, Ms. Bennett, Oscar has connections at the headquarters… Be cautious!” Dean warned.

“Very well,” Arabella replied nonchalantly. No matter how influential he might be, in the face of

evidence, all his connections would crumble.

“Ms. Bennett, you are so talented at such a young age. What kind of person would dare to stand

shoulder to shoulder with you as your future partner?” Dean suddenly wondered, gazing at Arabella’s

stern countenance.

Arabella glanced at the man in the video, and he was looking back at her. She did exude a powerful

aura, but Romeo was no less formidable.

“Ms. Bennett, are you willing to make a bet?” Dean challenged.
