Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
“Romeo, are you done already?” Serena quickly caught up to him and said, “You’ve been working non–stop; you need to take care of yourself. Are you hungry? Can you eat something first?”
“Mr. McMillan has some matters to deal with.” Carl was still trying to stop her. “Miss Serena, please wait a moment.”
“Romeo.” Serena called after him, “Where are you going? Will you be back later? I’ve prepared some food for you; how about having a bite first?”
Romeo didn’t look back as he entered the elevator; the doors slowly closed, leaving Serena with nothing but a cold and determined silhouette.
Seeing that Romeo had left, Carl also turned to leave.
At this moment, his phone started to vibrate, and he answered the call: “Is everything ready? Good, I’ll be there in about ten minutes. Just checking, the juice is freshly squeezed, right? And no ice cubes, right? Good, keep the pastries warm; our young lady doesn’t eat cold food, alright?”
Hearing this, Serena was a bit puzzled–who was his young lady? Could it be Mirabella?
An image of Mirabella suddenly flashed in her mind.
Serena was shocked. She hurriedly got into another elevator and got into her car.
“Erik, follow Romeo’s car.”
“Miss Serena, what are you doing?” Erik was a bit confused, but seeing Serena’s anxious expression, he immediately started the engine.
“Mr. McMillan, that’s the Collins family’s car behind us; should we lose them?” Carl immediately noticed the license plate on the car behind them; it was the Collins family’s car.
But Romeo didn’t care; he said, “Let them follow.”
Mirabella had just entered her office when she got a call from Romeo.
“I’m bringing you afternoon tea; I’ll be there in about ten minutes.” Romeo’s voice was as deep and enticing as ever. “Which floor is your office on?”
“Are you on your way already?”
“Yeah.”
“Then I’ll come down to meet you.”
She dared not let Mr. McMillan deliver to her office; it would draw too much attention!
“Are you afraid of people knowing about our relationship?”
Was it because he wasn’t handsome enough? Or his family background wasn’t prestigious enough? Or was it that she didn’t want to admit he was her fiancée?
“Don’t you know your own status?“.
When this man showed up, not only the company but the entire Summerfield would be buzzing!
At that time, many people would be asking about their relationship.
Serena tailed Romeo all the way until his car pulled up near a company.
It’s a clothing company owned by the Collins family, and Mirabella is the boss.
Serena guessed right–Romeo really came to see Mirabella!!
He left Serena in the conference room for a full two hours without a word but was super attentive to Mirabella.
Serena didn’t get it, what was so special about Mirabella?
Maybe in his world, after seeing so many refined ladies, he just wanted to hang out with regular people?
Romeo got out of the car in a white shirt. Handsome as he was, he dimmed the surroundings just by existing.
That’s him, alright, always stealing the spotlight the minute he shew up, easily catching everyone’s eye.
“Bella Have you been waiting long?” As soon as Mirabella walked up to him, he gently but assertively wrapped her in his arms. “I missed you.”
Seeing Mirabella, whom he’d missed so much, a smile tugged at the corners of Romeo’s mouth. “Not long: I just got here.”
“This is a public place; could you tone it down a bit?”
They were currently by the road; what if someone saw them?
“I can’t help it; if I don’t hold you for a bit, I’ll miss you even more.”
Romeo looked at her with a hint of fondness and tenderness on his handsome face that most people wouldn’t see. “Are you busy?”
“Not busy.”
“Did you miss me?”
“No.”
“You weren’t busy, and you didn’t miss me?”
Mirabella didn’t respond.
“You little rascal!” Romeo hugged her tighter. “I’m going to punish you by hugging you for another minute. No resisting.”
Mirabella suddenly thought Romeo was a bit childish.
“Every time you go to the company, it’s like you disappear. If I don’t look for you, you might not even think of me!” Romeo sounded like he was whining.
Hearing Romeo say this, Mirabella felt a bit helpless. “I have a lot of things to deal with.”
“Will you think about me later?”
“Romeo.” Mirabella was about to ask him to behave, but he lifted her face like it was a precious gem. The love in his eyes was as dazzling as the stars in the night sky.
“I can’t help it; your face is too soft.”
“Where’s my afternoon tea?” Mirabella remembered she had things to deal with and couldn’t stay here too long..
Romeo touched her face before pulling out the afternoon tea,
Mirabella saw the dozen or so bags in his hand and didn’t take them. “That’s too much; I can’t finish it all.”
“You can pick your favorites.”
Romeo held the bags in one hand and reluctantly held her in the other, messing with her hair and asking, “Aren’t you going to invite me in for a bit?”
“I still have things to do.”
“Will you think about me later?”
“Will you miss me?” Romeo seemed determined to get an answer.
With no other choice, Mirabella firmly replied, “Yes.“.
“I’ll miss you too.” Romeo lowered his head and gently kissed her lips. His affectionate eyes were filled with longing and love. “I’ll pick you up after work.”
“Okay.” Mirabella blushed a bit, grabbed her stuff, and prepared to leave.
Romeo still held her hand, unwilling to let go. “I don’t want you to leave.”
Whenever he saw her, he couldn’t care about anything else. He just wanted to be with her.
Mirabella had no idea that Mr. McMillan, reputed to be cold–hearted, would be so bold in public. Now that she knew, she found it amusing.
“So, you want me to stand here chatting with you while holding all this heavy stuff?”
“Do you need me to carry it to your office?”
Mirabella pulled her hand back. “I’m off work in an hour; you should go.”
“Bella.”
Mirabella paused and looked back at him.
“What I said on the Ferris wheel today is true.”
He really liked her.
