“Every morning there are over ten, and the sin the afternoon. On a busy day, we could be dealing with three dozen at the very least." After finishing his confession, Carl quickly lowered his head, not daring to catch a glimpse of his boss's expression.
Romeo snorted coldly. He thought, "Very well, Carl, who pays your wages? Do you dare to betray me? Do you think you're above the law because Bella's got your back?" "Every day?” Arabella’s face lit up with interest.
“I'm completely unaware. Even if it were true, | wouldn't have noticed,” Romeo immediately affirmed, "I'm not interested in anyone else." “Where's the stuff?" Arabella's lips curled into a teasing smile, her eyes falling on Carl.

“Not at all. | just don't want to upset you." he replied, careful not to show any temper in front of the young woman.
Carl turned around and brought a pile of items over. “These are from this morning. | didn't have a chance to get tid of them yet" Usually, he would dispose of such things before Romeo cto work, tossing them in the trash bin.

Since the gifts kept coming, Carl had no choice but to dispose of them every day to keep them out of Romeo's sight.

"Bella Romeo was concerned about her mood, "these things were left by them without my consent. | didn't know." Seeing that Arabella didn't glance his way, Romeo lowered his stance and explained, "I didn't accept them. By the t| got to the office, Carl had already taken care of everything." “So you've been skipping our meals together because you've been filling up on these lunch boxes?" Arabella suddenly teased.
"No, | haven't touched a bite. Carl," Romeo immediately turned to Carl, hoping the witness would cto his aid.
Carl held back a laugh, "Yes, Ms. Bella, | can vouch for it. Mr. McMillian didn't touch any of the lunch boxes that others sent."
