Chapter 1558

Many were gobsmacked by her move.

Holy smokes, she must be new, right? To actually sit next to Romeo.

Didn't everyone know Romeo hates being disturbed at lunchtime?

Though they weren't dining at the same table, her seat was just to the left of Romeo, barely half a yard

away.

Romeo didn't like people getting close. Especially women with nervous dining habits, he could tell right

away what she was after.

Lena felt Romeo's gaze and thought she had caught the attention of the formidable CEO. She ducked

her head, pretending to spill soup on her blouse, then turned and asked politely, "Excuse me, do you

happen to have a napkin? I've accidentally stained my clothes."

Romeo's eyes fell on her, seeing right through her little ruse.

"Are you new here? I haven't seen you around before. Hi, I'm Lena from the admin department. Which

department are you in?"

"Lena, is it?" That's when Arabella returned, taking her seat on Romeo's right. His tone softened a bit,

"Finished your call?"

"Yeah." Arabella glanced at Lena, "Didn't your admin manager give you a handbook on your first day?

The group's structure, the company's main business, the heads of each department - weren't they all in

the booklet? Sounds like the admin manager dropped the ball."

Lena was flustered by the sudden appearance of this commanding woman, "May I ask who you are?"

"My wife," Romeo introduced.

Lena's face was beyond shocked.

When did Romeo get hitched?

She was doomed, how could she not have known Mr. McMillian was already taken.

"Focus on your work in the future, stop daydreaming."

Hearing Arabella's words, Lena replied ashamedly, "Yes, Mrs. McMillian."

She stood up, ready to carry her tray away, when Arabella inquired, "Not eating?"

"I, I just. it's a bit warm here, I'll eat over there."

Lena hadn't expected the boss's wife to have such a strong presence and quickly scurried away with

her tray.

Arabella caught Romeo looking at her with a half-smile, unimpressed, "What are you looking at? Eat

your food."

Romeo, unable to hold back a chuckle, continued to serve her, "Watching my wife nip my admirers in

the bud."

"You seem to find it amusing?"

"Did you scare her off knowing I was going to fire her, just to save her job?" Romeo knew his young

wife's intentions all too well.

"She's young. It's normal to have fantasies."

"You say that as if," Romeo teased, gently flicking her nose, "you're not young yourself?"

"A good employee is worth keeping."

"And how do you know she's a good employee?"

"Isn't that what you said? That this subsidiary is doing quite well, and the staff are enthusiastic."

Romeo looked at her with indulgent affection, surprised she remembered his words.

The staff were stunned by this scene, not expecting the private side of Romeo to be like this!
