    Chapter 138


    Her phone buzzed a few times at that moment, and Arabe picked it up to see it was Romeo calling


    “Be” Romeo’s voice was deep and maic, “I’ve been thinking about you.”


    Arabe asked somewhat helplessly, “What’s up?”


    “Are you swamped with work?” Romeo asked in hiszy but pleasing tone, “Do you need me to help


    you out?”


    “No need


    “I’ve been thinking about you,” Romeo said, “I wish I could finish all your work for you so you’d have


    time to be with me. But I still have an hour before I see you.” Romeo sounded a bit anxious, “I want to


    video call you, just for a bit.”


    Romeo seemed to know she would refuse, so he didn’t wait for her to speak before he started


    pleading. “Just for a little while.”


    Arabe stayed silent.


    “Be… Romeo pleaded again, “I promise it won’t interfere with your work.”


    Arabe, having no other choice, finally agreed to his request. Soon after, his video call came through.


    As soon as Arabe answered, someone knocked on her door.


    “Come in.”


    “Ms. Bet, your coffee,” Dean said, cing the coffee on the desk,pletely unaware of her


    ongoing video call.


    “Ms. Bet, you’re famous again! The wholepany is talking about you, someone even wrote a


    prose piece about you.”


    “Oh?” Arabe took a sip of her coffee, seeming somewhat surprised.


    “Let me recite it for you…”


    Dean cleared his throat and began reciting: “If Ms. Bet gets angry with you, you should be scared;


    If Ms. Bet summons you to court, you’re going to jail; With Ms. Bet here, the bad guys will fail;


    With Ms. Bet here, we’re sure to prevail! Whether you’re strong or weak, you better fix your


    mistakes; because if Ms. Bet takes action, you’re out of thepany in a blink!”


    Arabe couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless upon hearing this.


    The man on the other end of the video call startedughing, seemingly entertained by the prose.


    “Ms. Bet, from this prose, it’s clear how highly everyone respects you… when you presented that


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    evidence to those five people today, it was so cool! Do you know what the other people in thepany


    are saying about you?” Dean spoke excitedly. “The female employees say they’re attracted to you,


    hoping to marry you! And some of the male employees are nning to confess their feelings for you


    after work.”


    Arabe almost choked on her coffee upon hearing this.


    “They’re saying you’ve only been here for a week and you’ve already found seven problematic people,


    including some on the production line… They’re all betting that within a week, you’ll send Oscar to the


    police station.”


    Dean leaned in close to Arabe, smiling, “Ms. Bet, I bet a buck, not sure if I can win…”


    Arabe casually replied, “Bet more.”


    “Huh?”


    Arabezily said, “Raise the stakes.”


    Upon hearing this, Dean became instantly excited, “Ms. Bet, are you sure? If you are, I’m willing to


    bet all my money!”


    Arabe hadn’t even responded yet.


    “But right now the evidence isn’t enough, the police might let him go…” Dean said regretfully…


    “Wouldn’t it be good if he gets away?” Arabe raised an eyebrow, speaking with interest, “I’d actually


    prefer if they let him go.”


    “Huh?” Dean was confused, why would she want that?


    No one can fullyprehend Arabe’s thoughts, but as Dean observed her brimming confidence, he


    had a strong premonition that he was going to win!


    He must increase the stakes!


    “By the way, Ms. Bet, Oscar has connections at the headquarters… Be cautious!” Dean warned.


    “Very well,” Arabe replied nonchntly. No matter how influential he might be, in the face of


    evidence, all his connections would crumble.


    “Ms. Bet, you are so talented at such a young age. What kind of person would dare to stand


    shoulder to shoulder with you as your future partner?” Dean suddenly wondered, gazing at Arabe’s


    stern countenance.


    Arabe nced at the man in the video, and he was looking back at her. She did exude a powerful


    aura, but Romeo was no less formidable.


    “Ms. Bet, are you willing to make a bet?” Dean challenged.
