The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1560

Finally, with Romeo's vigilant guidance, Arabella made it through entrance F, and the world around her fell into a serene hush.

Before her lay a cozy, tranquil indoor corridor, its warmth a stark contrast to the wintry world outside. The hum of central heating

whispered comfort against the cold.

Jossie, the assistant, had been waiting eagerly. Her eyes lit up with a mixture of surprise and admiration upon seeing Arabella.

"You're Arabella? David's sister?"

This was her inaugural meeting with Arabella, and though David had mentioned his sister's beauty, seeing her in person was

another story entirely.

Pulling down her mask, Jossie greeted her with a radiant and friendly smile. "Hi, I'm Jossie, David's assistant. It's so great to finally

meet you."

"Hello," Arabella responded, removing her own mask and shaking hands with her.

Jossie was a bit on the round side, with porcelain skin and lovely features. Catching sight of Romeo, she offered a similarly warm

smile. "Hey, Mr. McMillian, long tno see."

Romeo and David were close, which meant Jossie was no stranger to him either.

Despite Jossie's being the opposite gender, Romeo, quite atypically, gave her a nod and a softened look.

"Arabella, David's in the middle of a rehearsal. Lettake you there," Jossie said, her tone brimming with genuine kindness.

"David mentioned you're a bit shy, so | hope I'm not too loud for you. He was quite adamant—'don't scare her away' he kept

saying."

Arabella couldn't help but let out a chuckle. "I'm not scared of even the roughest guy's bark, let alone your gentle tone, Jossie."

"Really?" Jossie beamed with delight. "I always worry | cacross too brash, afraid I'd frighten you. You're a freshman, right? I'm

a couple of years your senior."

"Junior?"

"Nope, | finished all my studies abroad and graduated early. I've been working with your brother for almost a year now."

As she spoke, Jossie glanced at Romeo and then leaned in to confide in Arabella. "Before you cback, David was actually

looking forward to Mr. McMillian's visits. Their bromance had tongues wagging."

She trailed off, giggling. "But now, it's all about his sister. He's even worried Mr. McMillian might whisk you away or lead you

astray."

Arabella's smile blossomed, and Jossie found herself momentarily transfixed. What a stunning girl with such poise.

"I heard you were reunited with the family just six months ago," Jossie continued. "All of you have such striking looks, especially

you. The moment | laid eyes on you, | was dazzled. Ever thought about a career in showbiz? I'd be first in line to support you."

Arabella smiled softly, "I haven't considered it for now."

"Why not? With your looks, you'd be a sensation, maybe even bigger than David!"

"I'm studying medicine."

"A doctor, huh? That's noble too. You might not get the adoration of the masses, but you'll touch many lives in need."

Just then, Jossie's phone began to ring. She excused herself to Arabella and answered discreetly while leading the way. "Yeah, | see.

Okay, got it. I'll speak to David in a bit."

After hanging up, Jossie's expression deflated for a fleeting second before she regained her composure.

"What's wrong?" Arabella asked softly.
