Phillip was left scratching his head. Did he hear that right? Was that mischievous tyke really saying
this?
“As for dessert,” Romeo, who seemed to know Arabella’s tastes like the back of his hand, elaborated,
“She doesn’t have a sweet tooth for chocolate. Maybe you can whip up something with strawberries
instead.”
After hanging up the phone, Phillip was still feeling perplexed. His grandson was suddenly a mystery
wrapped in an enigma.
Brodie, misunderstanding Phillip’s dilemma, decided to step in and lend a helping hand. “Phillip, I’ve
noticed the young master and Ms. Bennett’s relationship is moving at a snail’s pace. Should we give
them a nudge tonight?”
“Got any bright ideas?” Phillip was all ears.
Brodie laid out his scheme. Seeing Phillip flash a satisfied grin, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Alright, I
have the room prepared in advance”
Meanwhile
Arabella took the elevator up to the twentieth floor of the company building, spotting her assistant,
Dean, waiting for her by the office door from a distance
“Ms. Bennett!”
Upon seeing her, Dean came forward at once, “You’re finally here! Mr. Oscar has been asking for you!”
Arabella raised an eyebrow, clearly unfamiliar with the name.
“He’s the big shot sent by the headquarters. Before you joined the company, he was the top dog”
“Why haven’t I seen him at previous meetings then?”
“Uh,” Dean hesitated, finally murmuring. “He’s hardly ever at the office”
“Busy with outside meetings?”
“Not exactly.”
Arabella got the picture, “Tell him to come over,”
“Yes,” Dean was about to fetch him
Arabella looked intrigued, “A vice president needs a personal invitation?”
“If I just give him a call or send a message, he’ll blow his top.”
“Really? Then I’d love to see how he throws a tantrum.”
Not long after, a middle–aged man in his forties appeared.
He was slightly chubby, with a round face, and as soon as he arrived at the office door, he didn’t
hesitate to grumble at Dean, “So the new boss comes in and the old one’s out of the picture?”
“Mr. Oscar, it was just a temporary situation. I’m really sorry I couldn’t invite you personally, Dean
replied.
“This new manager just dropped from the sky, who knows how long shell last? And you, leaming to
throw your weight around so quickly?”
“Of course not,” Dean said respectfully, “Mr. Oscar, please come in! Ms. Bennett is already inside
Oscar gave him a cold glance and swaggered into the office.
The young woman in the office chair watched him with interest
She was fairly attractive, but she seemed to be looking down on him.
“Tve heard rumors about a new manager coming in. But I’m surprised to see that you’re so young”
Oscar beat her to the punch, “As far as I know, you were sent from the headquarters, but I don’t recall
ever seeing you when I worked there”
“Mr. Oscar, there are over five thousand employees in the headquarters. Have you met all of them?”
“Not exactly, I just thought someone as young and attractive as you, sitting in this position, is something
I’ve never seen before. Who in the headquarters sent you here?”
