Romeo's gaze bore into Carl from across the room, leaving Carl no option but to spill the beans.
“Every morning there are over ten, and the same in the afternoon. On a busy day, we could be dealing
with three dozen at the very least."
After finishing his confession, Carl quickly lowered his head, not daring to catch a glimpse of his boss's
expression.
Romeo snorted coldly. He thought, "Very well, Carl, who pays your wages? Do you dare to betray me?
Do you think you're above the law because Bella's got your back?"
"Every day?” Arabella’s face lit up with interest.
“I'm completely unaware. Even if it were true, I wouldn't have noticed,’ Romeo immediately affirmed,
"I'm not interested in anyone else."
“Where's the stuff?" Arabella's lips curled into a teasing smile, her eyes falling on Carl.
Romeo sent another pressure-filled look in Carl's direction, as if to say: try bringing the stuff out.
“Are you threatening him?" Arabella asked, her interest piqued at Romec's glare.
“Not at all. I just don't want to upset you." he replied, careful not to show any temper in front of the
young woman.
Carl turned around and brought a pile of items over. “These are from this morning. I didn't have a
chance to get tid of them yet"
Usually, he would dispose of such things before Romeo came to work, tossing them in the trash bin.
He still remembered the early days when Romeo took over the company. There were so many gifts and
tokens of affection from admirers every day that Romeo had been rather irritated and declared he didn't
want to see these things anymore.
Since the gifts kept coming, Carl had no choice but to dispose of them every day to keep them out of
Romeo's sight.
Over time, Romeo himself forgot about his original words.
Arabella scanned the pile that Carl brought. Not only were there love letters, star jars, handmade
chocolates, and heart-shaped lunch boxes, but there were also other items.
Arabella estimated there were over a dozen.
Maria couldn't believe that besides herself, there were so many daring people secretly sending gifts to
Romeo.
She had thought she was the first one to catch Romeo's attention.
Little did she know that her daily lunch boxes, love letters, and presents were all disposed of by Carl
beforehand.
And here she thought that Romeo had seen them, accepted them, and understood her feelings.
During the company meeting a week ago, several department heads were criticized by Romeo, while
she was praised.
She had naively thought that Romeo was interested in her.
She had been elated for days.
But now.
“Just leave them there; Arabella instructed Carl to put the items on the desk.
"Bella Romeo was concerned about her mood, "these things were left by them without my consent. I
didn't know."
Seeing that Arabella didn't glance his way, Romeo lowered his stance and explained, "I didn't accept
them. By the time I got to the office, Carl had already taken care of everything."
“So you've been skipping our meals together because you've been filling up on these lunch boxes?"
Arabella suddenly teased.
"No, I haven't touched a bite. Carl," Romeo immediately turned to Carl, hoping the witness would come
to his aid.
Carl held back a laugh, "Yes, Ms. Bella, I can vouch for it. Mr. McMillian didn't touch any of the lunch
boxes that others sent."
