Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
A habitual offender for sure!
The security guards hadn’t expected her to be so tricky to catch, so they pulled out their tasers and switched them on.
When Maria saw that the taser missed Mirabella and hit the couch instead, she screamed, “That sofa is a custom-made piece, ordered by Mr. McMillian himself! There’s only one in the world! Be careful!”
The security guards took aim at Mirabella again, tasers falling in unison. But instead of hitting her, they shattered the coffee table.
“Are you guys blind?!” Maria was furious, “She’s right there, you idiots!”
At that moment, Maria spotted a glass nearby, picked it up and hurled it towards Mirabella.
Mirabella noticed, this cup was a gift she had given to Romeo. If it broke, these people were in deep trouble.
As Mirabella reached out to catch the glass, the security guards seized the opportunity and swung their tasers towards her hand.
She quickly retracted her hand, and the glass fell from the air and shattered on the floor.
“She’s so agile. She must be a spy from another company. We need to capture her, no matter what it takes.”
After saying this, Maria sent out a WhatsApp message, summoning more security guards.The entire security force of the company was on the move, heading towards the CEO’s office.
Mirabella did not want to harm innocent people, but as more and more people rushed in, the office turned into a chaotic mess.
This commotion alerted Carl, who immediately reported to Romeo. The ongoing business meeting was abruptly ended, and Romeo rushed to his office.
“What do you guys think you’re doing? Stop it”
Romeo’ voice was filled with anger.
As he entered, he saw the office in a state of disarray, with dozens of security guards surrounding Mirabella, cornering his girl.
Given Mirabella’s agility, these people were no match for her. She was avoiding their attacks, not wanting to harm innocent people.
“Are you hurt?” Romeo asked as he rushed to her side, pulling her into his arms, “Did they touch you?”
“This is Mr. McMillian’s office. Who allowed you to barge in?” Carl reprimanded, making the security guards take several steps back, hanging their heads in shame.
They couldn’t believe what was happening, even Maria was wide-eyed, finding the scene before her hard to believe.
It seemed like Romeo cared a lot about this girl. Could they possibly know each other?
“What’s going on?” Romeo asked the girl in his arms, worried that she might be scared.
Maria decided to strike first, “Mr. McMillian, I found her sneaking around and opening your cabinet, and even stealing your phone. That’s why I called the security.””Did I ask you?” Romeo’s eyes were sharp, but they softened when he looked at the girl in his arms, “Is that true?”
He would only trust what Mirabella said.
“Um.” Mirabella admitted, “I wanted to put the snacks on the coffee table into the cabinet when she walked in.”
“Didn’t you tell her about us?”
“I did. She didn’t believe me’
Romeo then turned to Maria, “My fiancée moving freely in my office. Is there a problem with that?”
Maria was taken aback at these words.
The security guards were pale as ghosts, realizing they’ve stirred up a hornet’s nest.
“I gave her my phone.”
Hearing this, everyone became even more anxious.
“Who let you in?” Romeo turned to Maria, “Did you enter this room with my fiancée’s permission?”
“Mr. McMillian, I didn’t know she was your fiancée.” Although Maria was frightened, she was mostly indignant.
Why should this girl be favored by Mr. McMillian? Not only did he pamper her, but he also entrusted her with checking on his office.
What merit did she have to deserve such special treatment from Mr. McMillian?
“You just barged in without knowing the full story.” Romeo was visibly angry.
The security guards hastily bowed and apologized collectively. The head of the security also rushed to explain.
“We apologize, Mr. McMillian. We were misguided by Ms. Maria’s words, thinking that there really was a thief stealing company secrets. If we had known she was your fiancée, we wouldn’t have dared to lay a finger on her.”
“Shouldn’t you have reported this to me before taking any action, so I could report to Mr. McMillian? If it weren’t for Ms. Bella’s quick reflexes, who knows what harm you could have done to her!” Carl scolded them.“Carl, we were blind to not recognize Ms. Bella. We apologize, it’s our fault.” The security quards promptly apologized to Mirabella.
“Let it be” Mirabella said.
As soon as she spoke, Romeo defended her, “How can we just let it be? You’ve been wronged so much.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Carl spotted some familiar fragments on the floor. Picking them up, he thought to himself: Oh no, this was really bad.
“Mr. McMillian.” Carl handed over the fragments, silently sympathizing with the group.
Romeo recognized the pieces as the remains of the cup Mirabella had given him, now shattered.
“Don’t worry” Mirabella soothed.
“Who did this?” Romeo’s voice was filled with rage, “Who broke it?”
All the security quards were frightened, their eyes turning to Maria.
Maria was even more terrified, “I saw these guards being clumsy, not only did they fail to catch the thief, but they also broke your table and vases. In my haste to help, I threw a cup.”
Her words almost choked Carl, “Threw a cup at Ms. Bella? She certainly has some nerve.”
Upon hearing this, Romeo instinctively asked the girl in his arms, “Where did it hit you? Are you injured? Let me see.”
“I’m fine; Mirabella looked up and said, “I was planning on catching it.”Although she didn’t finish her sentence, Romeo had already guessed what had happened. It must have been chaotic, with people attacking her from all directions, and she couldn’t catch the cup in time.
“Mr. McMillian, is this cup very important? I mistook her as a thief and wanted to help catch her. I’m truly sorry.
Can I buy you a new one to make up for it?”
“Can the one you buy match the one she bought?” Romeo’s anger peaked, “You still haven’t explained why you came in here in the first place”
Maria glanced at a lunch box on the side.
The lunch box was pink, with several red hearts on the lid.
“Do you usually bring food for Mr. McMillian?” Carl suddenly realized, “Mr. McMillian, before you come to work every day, there are always some lunch boxes, love letters, gifts, etc. outside your office.”
Upon hearing this, Romeo immediately reassured the girl in his arms, “I didn’t accept them.”
“Are there many?” Mirabella asked Carl with interest.
Romeo’s gaze bore into Carl from across the room, leaving Carl no option but to spill the beans.
“Every morning there are over ten, and the same in the afternoon. On a busy day, we could be dealing with three dozen at the very least.”
After finishing his confession, Carl quickly lowered his head, not daring to catch a glimpse of his boss’s expression.
Romeo snorted coldly. He thought, “Very well, Carl, who pays your wages? Do you dare to betray me?
Do you think you’re above the law because Bella’s got your back?”
“Every day?” Mirabella’s face lit up with interest.
“I’m completely unaware. Even if it were true, I wouldn’t have noticed,’ Romeo immediately affirmed, “I’m not interested in anyone else.”
“Where’s the stuff?” Mirabella’s lips curled into a teasing smile, her eyes falling on Carl.
Romeo sent another pressure-filled look in Carl’s direction, as if to say: try bringing the stuff out.
“Are you threatening him?” Mirabella asked, her interest piqued at Romec’s glare.
“Not at all. I just don’t want to upset you.” he replied, careful not to show any temper in front of the young woman.
Carl turned around and brought a pile of items over. “These are from this morning. I didn’t have a chance to get tid of them yet”
Usually, he would dispose of such things before Romeo came to work, tossing them in the trash bin.He still remembered the early days when Romeo took over the company. There were so many gifts and tokens of affection from admirers every day that Romeo had been rather irritated and declared he didn’t want to see these things anymore.
Since the gifts kept coming, Carl had no choice but to dispose of them every day to keep them out of Romeo’s sight.
Over time, Romeo himself forgot about his original words.
Mirabella scanned the pile that Carl brought. Not only were there love letters, star jars, handmade chocolates, and heart-shaped lunch boxes, but there were also other items.
Mirabella estimated there were over a dozen.
