Chapter 84


    Phillip was left scratching his head. Did he hear that right? Was that mischievous tyke really saying


    this?


    “As for dessert,” Romeo, who seemed to know Arabe’s tastes like the back of his hand, borated,


    “She doesn’t have a sweet tooth for chocte. Maybe you can whip up something with strawberries


    instead.”


    After hanging up the phone, Phillip was still feeling perplexed. His grandson was suddenly a mystery

    wrapped in an enigma.


    Brodie, misunderstanding Phillip’s dilemma, decided to step in and lend a helping hand. “Phillip, I’ve


    noticed the young master and Ms. Bet’s rtionship is moving at a snail’s pace. Should we give


    them a nudge tonight?”


    “Got any bright ideas?” Phillip was all ears.


    Brodieid out his scheme. Seeing Phillip sh a satisfied grin, he couldn’t help butugh, “Alright, I


    have the room prepared in advance”


    Meanwhile


    Arabe took the elevator up to the twentieth floor of thepany building, spotting her assistant,


    Dean, waiting for her by the office door from a distance


    “Ms. Bet!”


    Upon seeing her, Dean came forward at once, “You’re finally here! Mr. Oscar has been asking for


    you!”


    Arabe raised an eyebrow, clearly unfamiliar with the name.


    “He’s the big shot sent by the headquarters. Before you joined thepany, he was the top dog”


    “Why haven’t I seen him at previous meetings then?”


    “Uh,” Dean hesitated, finally murmuring. “He’s hardly ever at the office”


    “Busy with outside meetings?”


    “Not exactly.”


    Arabe got the picture, “Tell him toe over,”


    “Yes,” Dean was about to fetch him


    Arabe looked intrigued, “A vice president needs a personal invitation?”


    “If I just give him a call or send a message, he’ll blow his top.”


    “Really? Then I’d love to see how he throws a tantrum.”


    Not long after, a middle–aged man in his forties appeared.


    He was slightly chubby, with a round face, and as soon as he arrived at the office door, he didn’t


    hesitate to grumble at Dean, “So the new bosses in and the old one’s out of the picture?”


    “Mr. Oscar, it was just a temporary situation. I’m really sorry I couldn’t invite you personally, Dean


    replied.


    “This new manager just dropped from the sky, who knows how long shellst? And you, leaming to


    throw your weight around so quickly?”


    “Of course not,” Dean said respectfully, “Mr. Oscar, pleasee in! Ms. Bet is already inside


    Oscar gave him a cold nce and swaggered into the office.


    The young woman in the office chair watched him with interest


    She was fairly attractive, but she seemed to be looking down on him.


    “Tve heard rumors about a new managering in. But I’m surprised to see that you’re so young”


    Oscar beat her to the punch, “As far as I know, you were sent from the headquarters, but I don’t recall


    ever seeing you when I worked there”


    “Mr. Oscar, there are over five thousand employees in the headquarters. Have you met all of them?”


    “Not exactly, I just thought someone as young and attractive as you, sitting in this position, is


    something I’ve never seen before. Who in the headquarters sent you here?”
