Chapter 1192 Maria stared at Arabella resentfully as Romeo insisted on her departure. With a heavy heart, she turned and left.
"I'll get you a new mug later,” Arabella comforted the man before her.
“Could we get a few more?" Romeo bargained with her, "One just won't do, put it on my card." The cleaning lady, Celina, entered the office to tidy up and was taken aback to see Romeo cradling a woman and speaking to her softly.

This woman must be one lucky lady.
Seeing Celina picking up the shattered pieces of the mug, Romeo promptly said, "Celina, | still need those" “You still want them, even though they're braken?" Celina looked at him in surprise.
“Aren't we getting you new ones?" Arabella thought there was no need to keep the shards.
“We could make a picture frame, or a small piece of wall art; Romeo explained to Arabella, then turned to Celina, "Sorry for the trouble." "No trouble at all.” Celina smiled, “Seems like this mug holds a special place in your heart. | see you using it daily, it must be a gift from this young lady here. At your level, you could have any mug you want. It must be from someone special that you still value it even when it's broken." At her words, Romeo affectionately looked at Arabella. Every gift she gave him held a special meaning to him.
"This young lady is very beautiful. She's just as lovely as you. You two are a perfect match." Celina praised as she cleaned up the shards.
“Thank you for your compliments, Celina’ Arabella replied gently, "Take your time. Don't hurt yourself" “Ah, alright, alright." Celina found Arabella very gentle and down-to-earth, despite being with Romeo. She instantly took a liking to them.
"Shall we go to the cafeteria for dinner?" Romeo asked the woman in his arms, "Let everyone see how beautiful my fiancée is." “No, | should head back,” Arabella checked the time.

It was quitting time, and McMillian Corporation was bustling with people, most of them heading towards the cafeteria.
Romeo and Arabella walked hand in hand, attracting a lot of attention as soon as they stepped out of the CEO's private elevator.
“Oh my gad, is that Mr. McMillian? He has a girlfriend? Since when?" "She looks so young and beautiful!" "He's actually holding hands with a woman at McMillian Corporation. Are they going public?" “My god, am | hallucinating or dreaming? Someone pinch me. My dream man is actually smiling, and at a woman." Many employees were surprised, their eyes fixated on the couple. The sight of Mr. McMillian in love, approachable and handsome, left them entranced.
“Who is that woman? Isn't Mr. McMillian's fiancée Serena from the Collins family?" "Right, Serena even cto our company to find Mr. McMillian. Haven't seen her in a while though." “Did they break up? Does Mr. McMillian have a new girlfriend?" “This woman is much prettier than Serena, and her aura is not something rich girls can match." “Does anyone know who she is?" Everyone shook their heads. They would have remembered such a stunning face.
All of the employees who passed by Romeo and saw him whispering sweet nothings to the woman beside him were dumbstruck, forgetting even to greet him.
Those who managed to snap back to reality just in tto greet Mr. McMillian found it impossible to take their eyes off the couple.
This was the first tRomeo had so publicly introduced a woman in a public place, not even attempting to hide his affection and love for her.
