Chapter 140
“Be, this employee is doing such a great job, shouldn’t we give him a raise?” Romeo said from the
other end of the video call.
Upon hearing this, Dean immediately perked up, eyes full of anticipation as he looked at Arabe.
“If you don’t leave now, I’ll donate your bonus this month to charity.”
Upon hearing this, Dean nearly lost his footing in surprise and quickly got up, “I’m leaving right now!”
“Watch what you say when you leave.”
“Got it, Ms. Bet. Rest assured, I won’t breathe a word about your rtionship to anyone…” Dean
wasn’t paying attention and bumped his head on the office door. Wincing in pain, he covered his
forehead and made a quick exit.
“Happy now?” Arabe turned to the man on her phone, her toneced with resignation.
Romeo shed a triumphant grin, “Wouldn’t it be great if everyone knew about us?”
“Be, when can I go public?” Romeo asked next.
Dean had mentioned someone in the office nning to confess to her? That’s just asking for trouble.
Looking at his handsome face, Arabe felt overwhelmed, “I’m hanging up now.”
“Hold on.”
“What is it?”
“I just want to see you.” Romeo leaned his handsome face closer to the camera, his eyes filled with
deep affection. “Don’t you have work to do?” Arabe had heard Carl’s voice earlier and knew Romeo
had other things to take care of. “Do I?” Romeo’s gaze fell on Carl.
Carl braced himself to answer, “No…”
“If you’ve got nothing to do, why did youe in?” Arabe was surprised that even Carl would lie. All
thanks to Romeo.
“Ms. Bet… I came to see if Mr. McMillian needed anything. I didn’t expect that all he needed was
you. I’ll just be going then…”

With that, Carl ced the files on the table and out of Arabe’s view, he put his hands together in a
silent plea for Romeo to get to work. After all, these projects were urgent and many employees were
waiting for him!
Romeo gave a nod of agreement. Carl quickly made his exit.
The morning quickly passed with Romeo’s persistent attention. By noon, Romeo was already waiting
for her downstairs.
As soon as Arabe got in the car, he pulled her onto hisp.
“Romeo, you’re crossing the line!”
Arabe tried to get up, but he held her tightly.
“If you squirm, I’ll kiss you.”
Arabe red at his smug face, “Could you be any more shameless?”
“I could.” Romeo nted a kiss on her lips without warning.
Her lips were soft, and Romeo had intended to tease her yfully. However, after their kiss, he
yearned for more sweetness.
Her waist was slender, and even through their clothes, Romeo could feel the softness of her skin
underneath.
“Romeo!” Arabe attempted to push him away, but his other hand firmly grasped the back of her head,
pulling her closer as he fervently absorbed her essence.
His kiss was like a fierce storm, catching Arabe off guard and rendering her defenseless. She
pushed him away again, “Enough…”
Although her voice sounded like a warning, to Romeo, it seemed like a tender whisper, apanied
by a yful undertone.
Normallyposed and self–controlled, he was now teetering on the edge of losing control.
Arabe sensed his increasingly intense persistence and pushed him away forcefully, “Romeo, if you
continue like this, I will be angry!”
Romeo halted his actions, yet his eyes were still filled with profound affection.
“Be…”
Carl felt like he’d been hit by a truck…
Does no one care about his feelings?
Don’t single people déserve respect?!
Who knows how he feels driving them around right now? Nothing but agony!
He felt like a third wheel!
After what seemed like an eternity, their long kiss finally ended.
Romeo’s eyes were still somewhat dazed, his voice full of affection, “Be, I like you.”
Arabe’s shoulders rose and fell slightly, still catching her breath.
Romeo’s eyes were full of love, “I really like you.”
“Is yourpany still hiring?” Romeo continued.
“Huh?” Arabe didn’t understand what he meant.
“Twant to be your assistant, or your personal bodyguard. I can clean your office. I’ll do anything.”
“Can’t you have a bit of ambition?” Arabe responded exasperatedly.
“Is it unambitious to do things for a woman you like?” Romeo said softly, “Then I guess I’ll be
unambitious for the rest of my life.”
‘Arabe was touched by his sincerity. His gaze was genuine, his expression single–minded.
“I don’t like Serena.” Romeo cupped her face, speaking slowly, “The only one who can move me is
you. It was you in the past, it’s you now, and it will be you in the future.”
“I got it.” Arabe didn’t expect him to be so good at sweet talk. She turned her head to look out the
window, pretending to be interested in the scenery.
Romeo shed a devilish grin, “Your face is red. Be, are you blushing?” Romeo affectionately teased
her, “You’re so cute.”
Arabe didn’t reply.
Before she met Romeo, no one had ever called her cute. The mostmon word used to describe her
was cold and aloof.
Romeo cupped her face, “You look great when you’re shy, when you’re angry, when you’re jealous…
even more so.”
“When am I jealous?”
“This morning.” Romeo held her face in his hands, “You were so cold to me.”
Arabe didn’t think she was jealous, although she didn’t like Serena’s behavior, she wasn’t angry or
jealous.
“If you don’t mind, next time another woman approaches me…” R?men teased, waiting for her
reaction.
“Is there a next time?” Arabe raised an eyebrow, her tone carrying a hint of warning…
Romeo smiled, his eyes filled with adoration and joy, “I promise, there definitely won’t be a next time.”
Carl thought to himself in despair, I’m begging you guys, please stop!!
Can they think about his feelings for a sec, maybe take their lovey–dovey stuff somewhere else?!
What the heck did he do to deserve this kind of torment…
