Chapter 142 “Ms. Bennett, you finally showed up...” Dean had been talking so much his mouth was parched. He took a big gulp from his water cup before continuing, “They're all so full of themselves, compared to Romeo, it's Just ridiculous...” At the mention of Romeo, Arabella gave him a warning look.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDean didn’t dare to continue, he wiped the residual water from his lips and said, “What | meant was, they're not good enough for you!” Arabella entered the office, cheerfully saying, “Dean, I'm starting to think being an assistant might not be your thing.” Dean was excited, “Ms. Bennett, are you about to givea raise and a promotion? | mean, | did save you from a lot of headaches, but you don't have to be this touched.... it's all in a day's work for me.” “Consider becoming a matchmaker at a marriage agency,” Arabella suggested as she opened the file, “You have the potential to excel in this role and should not be overlooked.” Several question marks popped up in Dean’s mind. He definitely didn’t want to be a matchmaker! “Or a security guard.” “Ms. Bennett, I'm only trying to help!” Dean whined, leaning in closer, “Do you know how much effort | put into keeping them at bay? My lips are dry from all the talking! It hasn't been easy, you know...” Before he could finish, there was a knock on the door. It was Oscar! Dean's eyes almost popped out of his head. Wasn't Oscar taken to the police station for questioning this morning? How did he get out so fast? Faster than he expected...
Arabella looked up, her gaze meeting Oscar’s in a silent standoff.
Dean wished he could just disappear...
“The coffee at the police station is terrible.” Oscar sat down across from Arabella with a sly grin, “It's several levels below the coffee we have at the office...” Arabella smirked, “The coffee bean the staff gifted you is expensive, no wonder it's better.” Oscar was taken aback, how did she know a staff member had gifted him coffee bean! “Better get used to it, Mr. Oscar, you never know when you might end up back in the station...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ha ha ha...” Oscar laughed uproariously, “Who knows who'll end up at the police station. Ever heard the saying, ‘what goes around comes around*?” Dean was worried, was this old fox planning to frMs. Bennett?! If he knew about her powerful backing, he wouldn't dare to speak to Ms. Bennett like this! “All I've heard is ‘what you sow, so shall you reap, and good people will be rewarded.” Oscar's face turned sour at these words.
Amid the tense atmosphere, Arabella smirked and confidently said,.
“Better be careful when you step out, Mr. Oscar, as ‘what goes around comes around’. Bad deeds won't go unpunished, they're just waiting for the right tto strike back. When the tcomes, it's gover.” Oscar didn’t expect her to curse him like this, he scoffed, “Well, let's wait and see. | just chere to tell you, nothing is decided yet, we'll take it one step at a time.” Watching his arrogant back as he left, Dean was fuming, “Who does he think he is? If there was enough evidence, he’d be behind bars! How dare he act so brash in front of you.” “He won't be smug for long.” Arabella dismissed him nonchalantly, continuing to read her files.
“Ms. Bennett, there’s something | don’t understand. You have such a powerful ally, why don’t you use Romeo's influence to deal with Mr. Oscar?” By all accounts, Romeo has a lot of clout and should have no problem dealing with a small fry like Oscar!
