Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
This was the first time Romeo had so publicly introduced a woman in a public place, not even attempting to hide his affection and love for her.
The rumors once circulated that Serena was his fiancée, but the two were rarely seen together, let alone in intimate moments like this.
When Romeo, hand in hand with Mirabella, walked into the cafeteria, the hundreds of employees on the first floor were stunned, unable to believe their own eyes.
“Are you satisfied with this reaction, Mr. Romeo?” Mirabella knew exactly what he was thinking.
Romeo didn’t hide it, smiling at the girl next to him, ‘If I could, I’d announce it to the world, let everyone know that you’re all mine.”
“Mr. McMillian”
“Good day, Mr. McMillian.”
“Mr. McMillian, you’re dining in the cafeteria today.”
With every step Romeo took, quite a few peaple greeted him.
He nodded in response, turning to the girl beside him, “You’ve never been to this cafeteria before. What do you think?”
Mirabella’s eyes scanned the surroundings, “The environment is quite nice. The variety of dishes is also abundant. Looks great.”
Suddenly, she felt the layout of her company’s cafeteria was too small. It needed some improvement.
“Let’s get some lunch Mirabella approached a counter, just about to pick up a tray when Romeo beat her to it.”I’ll get it, just tell me what you like”
The trays were a bit greasy. He didn’t want to dirty the girl’s hands.
This was a self-service station, they could take whatever they fancied, as much as they could eat.
“This one, this one, and this one.” Mirabella pointed out the dishes, Romeo took care of grabbing them.
The employees sitting not far away were once again flabbergasted.
Mr. MeMillian was actually serving the girl himself.
Soon, Romeo’s trays were filled to the brim. He asked the girl to hold onto the hem of his shirt as he led her up to the second floor.
This area was usually only accessible to executives, with few people. He purposely chose a table where the employees on the first floor could look up and see them.
Mirabella noticed his intentions and couldn’t help but laugh, “Really?”
“Of course, it’s rare that you come here. I want everyone to know that you’re the most important one.
Wait here for a moment.”
Romeo personally wiped the table and after putting down the food, he wiped her chair as well. Only then did he pull out the chair for her, “It’s ready.”
Mirabella chuckled, “I just remembered I haven’t read those love letters your office colleagues wrote you”
“Don’t read them.’ Romeo immediately said, “There’s nothing worth reading. It’s all nonsense. You eat first, I’ll go grab some more.”“This is enough.” Mirabella was afraid they wouldn’t finish it all.
“It’s rare that you come here. Try a few more dishes.”
Everyone watched as Mr. McMillian went to several counters to get more food, then carefully placed each dish in front of the girl, thoughtfully picking out the bones from her fish.
They were green with envy.
When did Mr. McMillian ever show such a tender side?
This girl was so lucky!
At that moment, a noticeable commotion arose from the first floor.
A good number of people turned towards the noise, only to see Jennifer striding into the cafeteria entrance, a designer handbag swinging from her arm, exuding an aura of undeniable presence.
Several veteran employees greeted her, their voices filled with a warm familiarity. “Ms. McMillian.”
“Ms. McMillian, it’s been a while since you last visited the corporation.”
“Have you had lunch yet? I can get a few of your favorite dishes.”
“It’s been a long time, Ms. McMillian-“
“What brings you here today?”
“We’ve missed you.”
Jennifer’s face was icy, her eyes colder still. “I heard someone’s taken a fancy to my son, thought I’d come and see.
She had her insiders within the corporation, and she’d heard of a woman who’d stirred up the entire corporate security. It seemed to be related to her son.
Since the incident took place in her son’s office, no one could really explain what happened.
She had been shopping in the nearby boutique district when she heard about it. She tried calling her son but he didn’t pick up, so she decided to come in person.
She wanted to see who this person was, who’d turned the corporation upside down.What audacious wench had the nerve!
“Where is she?” Jennifer asked coolly.
The surrounding employees hurried to smooth things over.
“Ms. McMillian, Mr. Romeo is such a catch. It’s normal for women to be attracted to him.”
“Don’t be upset, it just shows how outstanding Mr. Romeo is, otherwise he wouldn’t attract so many girls.”
“Let the kids handle their own affairs. Ms. McMillian, why don’t we sit down and have lunch?”
“There can only be one daughter-in-law for me.” Jennifer’s gaze swept over the crowd. “Where’s the girl?”
She was determined to have a talk with her today!
Everyone felt her overpowering aura and instinctively looked towards a certain direction on the second floor.
Jennifer followed their gaze and saw a young girl on her phone. From this angle, she could only see the back of the girl, but from her attire, she seemed to be quite young.
A young chick causing such a commotion in her corporation.
There could only be one daughter-in-law for Jennifer: that was Mirabella of the prestigious Collins family!
No one else could get close to her son!
As she ascended to the second floor, the first floor of the cafeteria buzzed with whispers.“This is bad. That girl is doomed. Did you hear what Ms. McMillian just said? She said there could only be one daughter-in-law, it must be Mirabella of the Collins family. She’s here to back Mirabella!”
“So, this girl couldn’t catch Ms. McMillian’s eye?”
“No matter how pretty, she can’t compete with a match of equal social status. What a pity.”
“Ms. McMillian is a formidable woman, shrewd and capable. Her tactics are unparalleled. This is going to be interesting.”
“Do you think Mr. McMillian would side with his girlfriend, or would he adhere to his mother’s advice and call it quits?”
“Who knows? I’m on pins and needles, just waiting for the next scene to unfold”
Romeo had just ordered a handful of dishes and was carrying them to the table when he heard the elevator ding. He looked up to see Jennifer stepping out, her designer handbag slung over her shoulder.
“Mom, what are you doing here?”
Mirabella turned at the sound of his voice and was equally surprised.
Upon seeing Mirabella, Jennifer’s face lit up. She hurried over and enveloped her in a warm hug.
“My darling girl, what are you doing here? Did Romeo invite you?”
She had never expected to run into Mirabella here!
“I had some free time today, so I came to see him;’ Mirabella explained.
“You rascal, why didn’t you pick her up? Did you let Bella come here all by herself?” Jennifer chided her son.
“Where are the manners I taught you?”
“I wanted to surprise him,’ Mirabella explained.“Oh, my sweetheart, you’re so thoughtful.” Jennifer, gleeful, took a seat next to Mirabella. “Did Romeo show you around? Are you getting used to the place? Is there anything that needs improvement in the company? How’s the food?”
Before Mirabella could answer, Jennifer turned to Romeo. “Couldn’t you have ordered more dishes for Bella? Or taken her out to eat? And the table, it’s too small. Bella, sit tight. I’ll get you more food.”
“No need. There’s already plenty. I can’t finish it all,” Mirabella said, holding Jennifer back. “I’ll get you some utensils, we can eat together.”
Jennifer glanced at her son. “Why should you have to do that? Isn’t there someone here who can?”
Romeo stood to get the utensils.
“My sweet girl, you finally came to visit your home. Come more often when you have the time, explore the place.
