Chapter 82 – Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

“Anything.”

“Then I’ll send an emoji.” Carl sent a smiling face, which Romeo received immediately

So there was no issue with the internet or the signal. That girl just hadn’t messaged him! So he hadn’t received anything!

“Why are you sending smiling faces during work hours?” Romeo felt like the emoji was mocking him, “I’ll donate your bonus this month.”

Carl’s eyes widened. What? Mr. McMillian, wasn’t it you who told me to send it? Didn’t you say I could send anything? What’s so offending about this smiling face?

Romeo opened the chat box. His last conversation with Bella was around six in the morning when Bella told him to rest first, saying they would meet soon.

She seemed so concerned about him, yet why was she nowhere to be found once work started?

Thinking about how other male colleagues in the company were also pursuing her, Romeo was a little upset. He saw Carl still standing by and asked him, “What are you doing? How’s the project you’re in charge of? Have you solved the issues you’re supposed to handle?”

“Mr. Romeo, I will do it right away!”

“Hold on!” Romeo looked at his back as he prepared to leave and said, “Did I let you go?”

Carl was confused but forced himself to turn back and ask, “Mr. Romeo, is there anything else you need me to do?”

“Are any of the brands we acquired related to clothing?”

When Carl heard this, he thought for a while and said, “Yes! There’s this top–tier brand VO Fashion that we bought out due to them having financial issues and internal struggles among the top brass.”

Romeo slowly asked, “Do we need any partners?”

“Huh?” Carl was taken aback, “Mr. Romeo, you must be joking? Our group covers so many fields with so many subsidiaries, how could we possibly lack partners? People are practically begging us to partner with them!” |

Just as he finished saying that, he suddenly realized something. Clothing company! Partners!!

He quickly corrected himself, “But, some partners we’ve been with for a while are no longer offering us great deals! I think it would be better for us to find a new partner.”

Romeo raised an eyebrow, seemingly pleased, “Like who?”

Knowing he had guessed correctly, Carl hurriedly said, “For instance, I think Ms. Mirabella’s clothing company is pretty good. They can help us manufacture products. We have so many production lines that we can barely keep up, we can let Ms. Mirabella handle a portion of the clothing manufacturing, quality check them and then ship them back to our warehouse!”

Romeo seemed to like this idea.

“But I think, if our huge brand suddenly starts partnering with Ms. Mirabella’s clothing company, it will get people’s attention!”

“What’s your suggestion then?”

“I think VO Fashion can also become independent like Ms. Mirabella’s company, under a new name! Although backed by McMillian Corporation, it would appear to be a new and independently operating company! Partnering with Ms. Mirabella’s company would be a fair match. Plus, I’ve already thought of a name for the new company, it can be called Bella Fashion!”

Romeo raised an eyebrow, “You’ve thought this through quite well.”.

Carl breathed a sigh of relief, “You flatter me, Mr. Romeo.”

“Let’s go with your idea then.” Romeo’s tone was as casual as ever. “If you do well, your bonus will be doubled.

“Thank you, Mr. Romeo!” Carl was thrilled. It turned out Mr. Romeo was in a bad mood because he missed Ms. Mirabella!

Before he left the office, he suddenly remembered something, “Mr. Romeo,”

“Hmm?” Even though Romeo still seemed indifferent, he seemed to be in a better mood.

Romeo’s plan was going smoothly, but he maintained his aloof demeanor.

“Mr. McMillian, I’m just reminding you! You know, for girls, our care and attention is what they need the most, in case they feel left out. Don’t you think I’m right, Mr. McMillian?”

“You’re right.” Romeo finally picked up his phone to call Mirabella.

Seeing that Romeo’s mood had improved significantly, Carl finally breathed a sigh of relief and left.

Mirabella was discussing business with a manager when her phone suddenly started to vibrate.

She didn’t immediately check her phone, but stood up and said to the other party’s manager, “Good luck with our future cooperation.”

“Ms Bennett, you’re a straightforward person, I have faith that our partnership will go smoothly.”

The other party’s manager seemed very pleased with her, smiling as he said, “As long as the goods are delivered on time and there is no problem with the quality, we will continue to cooperate”

“I understand” Mirabella smiled, “We always aim for the best, you have nothing to worry about.

The other party’s manager left with a smile.

Mirabella watched him leave, then checked her phone. She noticed that Romeo had called her twice. She dialed him back, “What’s up?”

“Are you busy?”

“Yeah, just had a meeting with a potential partner.”

“I’d like to be your partner too “Romeo said tenderly, “This way, I could see you more often.”

Mirabella chuckled, “Aren’t we seeing each other often enough?”

“Not enough.” Romeo replied firmly, “I want to be with you every second of every minute.”

Mirabella was walking down the street, “Alright, I’m about to hail a cab. We can talk when I get home, okay?”

“You’re out alone?” Roméo thought she had an assistant with her, “I’ll come pick you up. Where are you?”

“It’s fine, I’m close to the office. I’ll just grab a cab.”

“I want to pick you up.”

Romeo had already left his office. Carl saw him rushing out and thought something had happened!

Mirabella, feeling helpless, sent him her location and then waited at the side of the street.

Aside from the coffee shop she had just left, the other shops on the street were all empty. Behind her was a piece of land overgrown with weeds, giving off a deserted vibe.

She pulled out her phone to handle some personal matters. Not long after, three cars pulled up.

She looked up and saw Myra, whom she had given a beating; getting out of the car with her brother Harry and a dozen henchmen.

“It’s her!”

Myra was originally going to settle scores with Molly and Iris, but she didn’t expect to see Mirabella on the way.

“She slapped me first, and even kicked me!” Myra complained to her brother.

The wind blew Mirabella’s long hair, her fresh face left Harry dumbstruck. She was stunning!!

“Harry, stop zoning out! Get revenge for me!” Myra’s swollen face barely covered by one hand, she nudged Harry.

Harry had seen many pretty girls, but Mirabella’s beauty was a first.

He walked up to Mirabella and asked, “Did you hit my sister?”

Mirabella raised an eyebrow, seemingly unbothered by them.

These dozen or so thugs, plus Harry who was still a kid, were they underestimating her?

“If you know your mistake, kneel down and kowtow to me ten times.” Myra, emboldened by her brother’s support, arrogantly said to Mirabella.

Mirabella looked at her arrogant demeanor, and coldly said, “Who do you think you are?”

Myra was so angry she couldn’t find words to retort, her face twisted with rage.

“What a sharp–tougued girl.Harry seemed interested, “You don’t have to kneel if you don’t want to. Just keep me company, make me happy, and we’ll let bygones be bygones.”

“Harry, what are you saying? I told you to teach her a lesson!” Myra didn’t want to let this go so easily. She hadn’t had a chance to properly teach Mirabella a lesson.

Mirabella raised her eyebrow at Harry, “Here? I don’t think so.”

She knew there were a few surveillance cameras around that could provide evidence.

“If you’re shy, we can go there.“ Harry seemed to think she had agreed, pointing to the weed–filled field behind Árabella.

“Alright.” Mirabella walked towards the field, Harry followed, and the dozen or so henchmen looked at Myra, unsure whether to follow.
