    “Ms. Bet, you finally showed up…”

    Dean had been talking so much his mouth was parched. He took a big gulp from his water cup before


    continuing, “They’re all so full of themselves,pared to Romeo, it’s Just ridiculous…”


    At the mention of Romeo, Arabe gave him a warning look.


    Dean didn’t dare to continue, he wiped the residual water from his lips and said, “What I meant was,


    they’re not good enough for you!”


    Arabe entered the office, cheerfully saying, “Dean, I’m starting to think being an assistant might not


    be your thing.”


    Dean was excited, “Ms. Bet, are you about to give me a raise and a promotion? I mean, I did save


    you from a lot of headaches, but you don’t have to be this touched…. it’s all in a day’s work for me.”


    “Consider bing a matchmaker at a marriage agency,” Arabe suggested as she opened the file,


    “You have the potential to excel in this role and should not be overlooked.”


    Several question marks popped up in Dean’s mind. He definitely didn’t want to be a matchmaker!


    “Or a security guard.”


    “Ms. Bet, I’m only trying to help!” Dean whined, leaning in closer, “Do you know how much effort I


    put into keeping them at bay? My lips are dry from all the talking! It hasn’t been easy, you know…”


    Before he could finish, there was a knock on the door. It was Oscar!


    Dean’s eyes almost popped out of his head. Wasn’t Oscar taken to the police station for questioning


    this morning? How did he get out so fast? Faster than he expected…


    Arabe looked up, her gaze meeting Oscar’s in a silent standoff.


    Dean wished he could just disappear…


    “The coffee at the police station is terrible.” Oscar sat down across from Arabe with a sly grin, “It’s


    several levels below the coffee we have at the office…”


    Arabe smirked, “The coffee bean the staff gifted you is expensive, no wonder it’s better.”


    Oscar was taken aback, how did she know a staff member had gifted him coffee bean!


    “Better get used to it, Mr. Oscar, you never know when you might end up back in the station….


    “Ha ha ha…” Oscarughed uproariously, “Who knows who’ll end up at the police station. Ever heard


    the saying, ‘what goes aroundes around“?”


    Dean was worried, was this old fox nning to frame Ms. Bet?!


    If he knew about her powerful backing, he wouldn’t dare to speak to Ms. Bet like this!


    “All I’ve heard is ‘what you sow, so shall you reap, and good people will be rewarded.”


    Oscar’s face turned sour at these words.


    Amid the tense atmosphere, Arabe smirked and confidently said,.


    “Better be careful when you step out, Mr. Oscar, as ‘what goes aroundes around‘. Bad deeds


    won’t go unpunished, they’re just waiting for the right time to strike back. When the timees, it’s


    game over.”


    Oscar didn’t expect her to curse him like this, he scoffed, “Well, let’s wait and see. I just came here to


    tell you, nothing is decided yet, we’ll take it one step at a time.”


    Watching his arrogant back as he left, Dean was fuming, “Who does he think he is? If there was


    enough evidence, he’d be behind bars! How dare he act so brash in front of you.”


    “He won’t be smug for long.” Arabe dismissed him nonchntly, continuing to read her files.


    “Ms. Bet, there’s something I don’t understand. You have such a powerful ally, why don’t you use


    Romeo’s influence to deal with Mr. Oscar?”


    By all ounts, Romeo has a lot of clout and should have no problem dealing with a small fry like


    Oscar!
