Chapter 83


    Ynda was green with jealousy. She sneered, “They’ve been inside for so long, who knows what


    they’re up to. They’re up to no good, are they?” “Yoli” Olga got the drift. Phillip’s bodyguard was up


    ahead. If he overheard, it would only cause more trouble for the Murphy family!


    Ynda bit her lower lip, watching their retreating figures with a sullen look.


    How great it would be if she were with Phillip.


    About fifteen minutester.


    The car pulled up in front of a serene and elegant vi.


    This was Phillip’s residence, sprawling over tens of thousands of square meters.


    The vi boasted a European–style design with ssic elements like Roman columns and French


    doors,plemented by a sophisticated white exterior paint, exuding an air of opulence.


    “Be, we’re home!” Phillip called out cheerfully, “Let’s sit in the yard. fill have coffee prepared. Any


    afternoon tea you fancy? I’ll have it made on–the–spot.” “No need, Grandpa, Arabe smiled softly and


    politely declined, “I still have work to do, so I won’t be going in.”


    Phillip’s excitement deted, “You’re leaving?”


    “Ms. Bet, you’re already at the doorstep, why not take the day off?” Brodie also took a shine to her


    and tried to persuade her to stay, “Come in, rest a bit, have some coffee and food?”


    “I have things to deal with at the office, Arabe replied gently, “Maybe next time.”

    “When do you finish work? I’ll have Romeo pick you up.” Phillip was reluctant but didn’t want to


    interfere with her work, “Come dine with me tonight, we can have a


    chat.”


    “Phillip’s not fully recovered, he needs Ms. Bet to check” Brodie started to say, then quickly gave


    Phillip a meaningful look


    “Oh, my heart.” Phillip immediately started acting, “Be, can you check on me again tonight? I feel a


    bit ufortable here.”


    Arabe saw through his exaggerated and poor acting but chose not to expose him, she just smiled,


    “Alright”


    “Fantastic! What do you like to eat? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it Phillip said, then realizing he was


    getting overly excited, he faked a cough, his voice weak, s there anything you can’t eat?”


    “I can eat anything,” Arabe’s eyes were bright, and she said, “Don’t prepare too much”


    “Okay!” Phillip was as happy as a kid, TIl send you to the office first After work,e over with


    Romeo”


    “Okay”


    Once Arabe left, Phillip immediately perked up, grinning, “So, how did I do just now?


    Brodie made a gesture with his thumb and index finger, “A bit over the top


    “Really?” Phillip locked at the direction the car was leaving. Till pay more attention to my acting next


    time.”


    Once inside, he dialed Romeo on his phone, sounding determined.


    “I don’t care how urgent your matter is, you must pick up Be after work tonight ande over for


    dinner”


    “Okay.” Unexpectedly, the man on the other end agreed promptly, without even a half–second of


    hesitation.


    Phillip was puzzled. Why did he agree so quickly? Did he mishear?


    “Im warning you, don’t do anything inappropriate with Be!”


    “She finishes work at five,” Romeo’s deep voice came from the other end, “We’ll be there before six”


    In other words, he needed to have dinner ready before six.


    Phillip was puzzled again.
