He felt a pang of neglect.
“Mom; Romeo spoke up again, “Bella and I have some work-related matters to discuss.”
“Why don’t you guys go ahead? I can offer some advice.”
Romeo beckoned his mother over and whispered, “Do you want your son and daughter-in-law to finally be together? You’re so present that we cant even have a moment.”
“But I also need to develop my relationship with my daughter-in-law.”
“Can’t you do that when I’m not around?”
Seeing that her daughter-in-law finally had some time to come and see her son, Jennifer decided, “Alright, I’ll leave first. You better take good care of her and don’t bully her, got it?”
“I wouldn’t dare to.”
“Bella, I am leaving now. In the afternoon, let Romeo show you around. If he does anything wrong or if anyone makes you feel uncomfortable, tell me, and I will back you up.”
Mirabella couldn’t help but laugh, “Thanks.”
“You’re thanking me again, silly girl.”
“Shall I walk you out?”
“That would be great.”Jennifer looked at her son with a delighted expression, as if to say: Bella offered to see me out. I can’t let her down.
Romeo was speechless.
The employees on the first floor watched as Mirabella and Jennifer walked out of the elevator arm in arm.
Jennifer was in high spirits, greeting everyone with a radiant smile.
A stark contrast from her initial intimidating demeanor.
Whenever she was with her daughter-in-law, Jennifer seemed to have endless things to say. Their cheerful conversation attracted quite a few whispers from the bystanders.
“They really look like a harmonious mother-daughter pair.”
“lL wonder what this girl did to make a furious person happy in the blink of an eye.”
“Anyone who can win over Mr. McMillian must be extraordinary.
“I wonder if she would consider releasing a tutorial. I’d be willing to pay a thousand dollars for it.”
“If it’s approved by Mr. McMillian, I’d pay ten thousand for that tutorial!”
“When you have some free time, come over to my house.’ Jennifer formally invited Mirabella.
Previous meetings had always been at Romeo’s grandparents’ place.
Mirabella had never been to George and Jennifer’s home.
“Alright, we’ll visit some day: Jennifer looked at the girl’s well-behaved demeanor, her fondness for her growing even more.
“I’m so envious of Louisa for having such a well-behaved and beautiful daughter. But thankfully, we’re all one family, living in the same house. Knowing that I have a thoughtful and understanding girl like you by my side in the future, I feel sweeter than eating honey.”
Jennifer was grinning from ear to ear, “Romeo, being at this age and status, will inevitably attract some attention. If any woman becomes too troublesome, just tell me, and I’ll handle them.”
Mirabella was about to say thank you, but remembering what Jennifer had said, she laughed and said, “Okay.”
“You’re always so understanding and obedient.”
Before Jennifer could finish her sentence, she heard an employee passing by and calling out, “Mr.
McMillian”
and then again, “Mr. McMillian”.
As she turned her head, she found her son had followed them all the way to the corporation’s main building.
“You, why did you follow us?” Jennifer was somewhat exasperated.Was he really that clingy?
“Bella doesn’t know the way. I’ll guide her later.”
Jennifer was speechless.
“Alright, alright, no need to escort me further. My car is parked in the basement, just take the elevator down.”
Unable to stand her son’s behavior, Jennifer patted Mirabella’s hand and said, “If you have time, let’s go out and have fun.”
“Okay: Mirabella responded with a warm smile, “Goodbye, Jennifer.”
“Goodbye, my sweet girl.” Jennifer was still marveling as she boarded the elevator. How could a girl be so well-behaved and likable, with such a good personality and so many talents?
She was too perfect, too outstanding.
As the elevator doors closed, Jennifer did not forget to remind her son one last time, “Don’t forget my words.”
She must take good care of her daughter-in-law.
Mirabella was such a wonderful daughter-in-law. She must hold on to her tightly and not let anyone else claim her!
Seeing his mother finally left, Romeo held Mirabella’s hand, “Let me show you around.”
Seeing that it was time for work, many employees were hurrying to the main building of the corporation.
Mirabella could see what he was thinking.Was he trying to make more people aware of her existence? Really?
“Mom just now reminded me over and over again to make sure I show you around to get you familiar with the place.”
Seeing that he even brought Jennifer into the picture, Mirabella couldn’t help but laugh, “Okay.”
When the two appeared in the procurement department hand in hand, the whole department was stunned.
Some of the employees, who had ordered takeout for lunch or were going home for lunch, were seeing Romeo for the first time, publicly holding a girl’s hand inside the corporation.
They looked like a couple in love, and the usually aloof Mr. McMillian now seemed like a caring boyfriend.
They all stared, and once they came to their senses, they hurriedly got up to greet, “Good afternoon, Mr.
MeMillian, and this is?”
“Mrs. McMillian”
It left everyone in the department thoroughly shocked. Was this girl appearing as Mrs. McMillian right off the bat?
That’s incredible.
“Good afternoon, Mrs. McMillian!” Everyone greeted in unison, their eyes still filled with surprise and disbelief as they looked at the girl.She was stunningly beautiful, with striking features, fair skin, a slender figure, and extraordinary temperament.
One could not help but be attracted by her top-tier beauty and be unable to shift their gaze away.
“Hello, everyone.” Mirabella’s voice was equally pleasant, refreshing and soothing to the ears, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease.
“Just carry on with your jobs.”
As Romeo guided the young lady through the bustling department, introducing her to the work environment and staff, their figures gradually disappeared from sight. Their colleagues remained rooted on the spot, still reeling from the shock.
“Good heavens, Mr. McMillian is married? And to such a young, beautiful woman.”
“Did he get married? Or are they about to?”
“That girl is staggeringly beautiful. Just her presence alone outshines us all. No wonder she caught Mr.
McMillian’s eye.”
“I can’t believe someone can be so stunning. Her facial features are so perfectly proportioned, it’s almost unreal.”
A female staff member mumbled, “She looks familiar. I think I’ve seen her somewhere.”
“Right? I also feel like I’ve seen her face before. She’s not an influencer, but I’m certain I’ve seen her. I just can’t temember where.” another female staff member chimed in.
Meanwhile, a short-haired woman eating lunch in the cafeteria chimed in, “Don’t you guys know yet?
Ms.
Jennifer heard someone was trying to seduce his son. He came storming to the company. Guess what happened?”
Everyone turned their attention to her. “What happened?””Did Ms. Jennifer slap that woman?”
“Did they have a fight?”
“Whose side was Mr. McMillian on?”
