Belinda cast a lingering glance at Romeo. He was so captivating, even when he was angry.
She lifted her gaze, seemingly hesitant.
She instinctively wanted to say yes. He was not particularly handsome, but he had a lot of money.
"What if he's not ugly, but he's a lot older, a pretty wealthy old man? Would you like him?"
Belinda's eyes had a gleam of intrigue, as if to say, perhaps she would. After all, the old man was
closer to the grave than the cradle, and his fortune would inevitably be hers “What if he's not ugly, not
old, not poor, but wheelchair-bound for life, yet he has a lot of money, would you choose him?"
Belinda pondered over it, chances were, she would choose him.
"So, you're not attracted to him, you're attracted to the man in his position."
Arabella saw through her intentions in an instant. "Whether it's an old man, an ugly man, or a disabled
man, as long as they are in this position with money and power, you like them."
Belinda was taken aback, her thoughts laid bare. She couldn't believe it. How was that possible?
“If it's a young, handsome and wealthy man like Romeo, you'd definitely be more attracted"
Carl, who was present, took a sneak peek at his boss after hearing this and sure enough, the corners
of Romeo's mouth were curving upward.
“You better find someone else to fancy. He already has a girlfriend and their relationship is quite
stable."
Belinda's face turned abruptly red.
“Now that you're in this position, you can strive for many things on your own. Rely on yourself and you'll
live more confidently, more proudly."
Belinda looked at the young girl in front of her, unable to believe how wise beyond her years she
seemed to be.
"Don't underestimate Ms. Bella because of her youth. She knows a lot,” Carl reminded.
Belinda suddenly understood. What Mr. McMillian liked wasn't just youth. This girl must have
exceptional qualities.
And the advantages she could present were pitifully few. Even her beauty seemed to pale in
comparison after meeting this girl.
So, why would Mr. McMillian fancy her?
Why would he choose her over a younger, prettier, more insightful, and more capable girlfriend?
Belinda suddenly realized her mistake.
From the moment she chose to take the risk, she was wrong!
"Is the personnel change discussed?" Arabella asked, lifting her gaze.
Belinda nodded, awkwardly replying, “It's settled."
“Please leave."
After Belinda left, Arabella was about to speak to Romeo when Carl burst into applause. That was
impressive!
“Get out.” Romeo found his assistant a tad annoying. He personally brewed coffee for Arabella and
took out all the snacks from the pantry, placing them on the coffee table. "Choose whichever you like.
I'll open it for you."
Arabella wasn't expecting so many snacks in his office. As soon as she picked up a bag of chips,
Romeo immediately opened it for her and even fed her a piece, “It's been a while since you've been
here. They're not as crispy"
Arabella caught his drift, "So should I come more often?"
“Absolutely.” Romeo was instantly delighted.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Romeo said softly, "Eat slowly, there's more in the
pantry. If it's not enough, I can fetch more."
After saying this, Romeo then lifted his gaze and said, "Come in."
