Chapter 1556

As Arabella followed Romeo into the cafeteria, Mr. Quennel immediately clapped his hands, raising his

voice, "Hold up, everyone! Let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Mr. McMillian and Ms.

Arabella!"

Everyone turned to look at Romeo, their expressions flickering with surprise. They had been part of this

subsidiary for quite some time but had never met the big boss in person.

To top it off, the man rumored to be indifferent to women was holding hands with a lady, and they

seemed quite the item.

"Good evening, Mr. McMillian, Ms. Bella," many employees stood up to greet them.

Arabella nodded in acknowledgment, and Romeo spoke up, "The holidays are coming up, and I know

you've all been working overtime lately. I appreciate your hard work."

"Not at all," they chorused in reply, while internally they were all abuzz. Was the big boss always this

personable? Rumors had painted him as a cold, emotionless workaholic. Yet here he was, defying

expectations.

"Please, make yourselves comfortable," Romeo gestured for everyone to sit.

Mr. Quennel respectfully said, "Mr. McMillian, Ms. Bella, here is tonight's menu."

"Looks good," Arabella said after scanning the menu. Though not as luxurious as the headquarters, the

place was clean and bright.

"Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Bella." Mr. Quennel had been worried the ordinary dishes wouldn't

impress them, but a nod from Ms. Bella eased his concerns.

"Go ahead with your work," Romeo said.

Taking the cue, Mr. Quennel bowed, "Then I'll be taking off, Mr. McMillian. Need to pick up some

groceries to cook dinner for my wife and kids."

Romeo, impressed by his family dedication, said, "Finance will award you an extra month's bonus.

Treat your family to something special."

Mr. Quennel's eyes widened in shock at the unexpected gift, taking a moment to register before

exclaiming, "Thank you, Mr. McMillian! I wish you and Ms. Bella a lifetime of happiness. Enjoy your

meal!"

With that, he bowed out.

Arabella chuckled, "You really startled him. He thought you were here for an inspection. He was too

nervous to even breathe."

Romeo's eyes twinkled with a soft laugh, "This subsidiary has been doing well;. Carl reported to me last

month. The staff is motivated, and the cafeteria meets our hygiene standards. Every dish is freshly

prepared, no pre-cooked meals, which is why I brought you here. What would you like to eat?"

"Anything's fine," Arabella wasn't fussy, "Do we serve ourselves steak here?"

"Let me do it."

"It's okay." Arabella grabbed them some steaks.

"Just set them here." Romeo placed the rice on the trays, gesturing for Arabella to hold onto his sleeve

while he carried their meals to an empty table.

Many employees watched, intrigued at the sight of the group's boss being so down-to-earth, without a

trace of pretension.

Arabella tasted the dish, "Pretty good."

The chefs in the cafeteria were impressively skilled, much to her surprise.

"Let me try," Romeo sampled a bite, "Not bad."

"Right?"

"Try a few more of these," Romeo said, offering her a selection from their shared dishes.
