The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2003

"Romeo, you're the only one who can mess with me," Luna raised her voice so Harriet could hear, "What does she think she is

compared to you? She's got nothing on my own brother!"

Harriet was taken aback by her not-so-warm homecoming. It dawned on her why Serena and Alma hadn't been able to win over

Romeo—it was because of this feisty guard dog by his side!

Once they were in the office.

Romeo asked nonchalantly, "Done with the theatrics?"

Luna's tears turned into a chuckle, "Heh, Romeo, you always have my back. Didn't even callout on my act."

She noticed the towering snack cabin Romeo's office, "You really have a snack cabthis huge? | didn't believe the online

gossip until now. | just chased off that vixen for you, so you owestreats, right?"

Romeo, ever the paternal figure, opened the caband tossed her a bag of chips.

"So, Arabella is into these, huh?" Luna ripped open the bag with glee, grabbing a chip, just as Romeo added, "She doesn't like this

flavor, so it's all yours."

Suddenly, the chip in Luna's hand lost its appeal.

"Don't make a mess," Romeo grumbled, hating crumbs on his carpet.

"But | saw a post saying Arabella makes a mess and you're always there handing her drinks," Luna retorted, extending her hand,

"Where's my drink?"

"These are her favorites; you can have swater."

"So, what brings you here anyway?"

"lI saw Arabella getting attacked online. | made a bunch of accounts to fight back, but it was useless. So, | thought I'd cto you.

Do you have a plan to help her?"

"Let's not worry your pretty little head about her."

"What do you mean?" Luna said earnestly, munching on a chip, "She's your fiancée and my future sister-in-law. | can't just watch

people sling mud at her."

Carl knocked and entered with a cup of tea in hand.

"Ms. Luna, here's the coffee you like." He set the freshly brewed cup before her. "Mr. Romeo, I've escorted the lady out. The

receptionist tried to stop her, but Ms. Monroe was insistent, even got a bit pushy—just like Ms. Luna said."

"That woman has no manners!" Luna said, taking another chip. "Carl's the best, remembers what | like to drink, knew | cried out

half my body water, breweda cup of coffee to rehydrate. Oh, right, you haven't toldhow we're handling Arabella's situation

yet."

"Your staying out of it is the best help you could give."

"Why?" Luna was puzzled.

Carl explained, "Ms. Bella is playing a strategic game. Mr. Romeo doesn't want you to mess it up."

"What kind of game? It sounds thrilling."

"Just leave it, okay? The public opinion will shift soon enough. Arabella wants to let it simmer for a bit," Romeo added.

"As long as she's okay, I'm relieved!" Luna said, crunching on chips. "I've got screenshots of those fakes online, pretending to be

her classmates, slandering her. I'll sue each and every one of them!"
