Chapter 348

“There is no need to be so formal.” Arabella hadn’t expected him to prepare gifts for Grandpa and

Grandma. Come to think of it, since they met, she hadn’t given him a gift yet. It’s high time she thought

about what to give him.

“I heard that the university entrance exam results are out tomorrow.” Romeo looked at her with

concern. “Are you nervous?”

Arabella was confused. Why was his question the same as her brother’s?

“I’m fine.”

“Do you have a university preference?” Romeo asked gently. “Any university you like, you can get in.”

Arabella gave a faint smile. “Even if my scores aren’t good enough?”

“Among all universities, it’s all about whether you like them or not. Scores aren’t that important.”

Did he mean to pull some strings for her?

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow.“/Arabella didn’t have a specific university in mind, but remembering what

Grandpa Murphy said, she might choose where he was. Though the old man did love to nag.

A while later, Romeo dropped her off at the company door..

Just as Arabella entered the gate, Dean rushed over to report; “Ms. Bennett, your brother is here!”

“Brother?”

“There’s an emergency meeting in ten minutes. All deputy–level and above employees are to attend,

including you.”

“Where is he now?”

“He’s already waiting in the conference room!”

Arabella handed the things in her hands to Dean to take to her office while she headed to the

conference room. Many employees were ahead of her, rushing off, huddled in groups of three or five,

discussing.

“I didn’t expect Mr. Collins to personally visit our company!”

“I just bumped into him downstairs. So handsome! His face is good–looking no matter how you look at

it!”

“I wonder what kind of girl is worthy of him.”

“Mr. Collins has such a strong presence; I think only someone like Ms. Bennett can handle him, Ms.

Bennett.”

They walked into the elevator, about to press the close door button, but found Arabella was about to

step in. They quickly shut their mouths and greeted Arabella.

“It’s okay; carry on.” Arabella knew there’d be some gossip among the staff. She stepped into the

elevator and pressed the.close door button.

Most of the staff held their breath due to her presence, too scared to speak.

“Why did you stop talking?” Arabella wanted to hear their chit–chat.

“Ms. Bennett.” One female employee gathered the courage to ask, “Do you think Mr. Collins is

handsome?”

Asking if her brother was handsome?

Arabella answered without hesitation, “Not bad.”

“Is he your ideal type?” The female employee continued, “If Mr. Collins pursued you, would you accept

him? Would you be with him?”

Arabella was shocked.

“No.”

How could she possibly be with her own brother?

“Huh? Why not?” The other employees were puzzled and asked, “There aren’t many young,

handsome, and rich men like Mr. Collins in the world, right?”

“Yes, there are.” Arabella answered without hesitation.

“Huh? There are? Who?” Several employees didn’t know who she was talking about when she asked,

“Ms. Bennett, do you have a boyfriend?”

“Ms. Bennett is still so young; what are you guys thinking?”
