"Hi, I'm Joyce." "Nice to meet you." Romeo gave them a nod.
Arabella casually introduced him, "This is my fiancé Romeo." The word ‘fiancé’ hit like a bombshell between Mya and Joyce.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You're engaged?" Joyce gaped, incredulous.
She had assumed this guy was Arabella’s boyfriend, only to find out he was actually her fiancé.
How could she be engaged so young? "The nRomeo sounds familiar like I've heard it somewhere." Mya suddenly realized and started to stutter, "Oh my god, is this THE Romeo?" The globally known business tycoon Romeo who's consistently topping the Forbes’ rich list! There were only a few photos of him online, always expressionless and dressed formally, giving off a serious vibe.
Today, he's wearing a mask and everyday clothes, so they didn't recognize him.
Who would've thought he's already engaged, and his fiancée was their dorm mate? The world's richest man and the top scorer, it's mind-blowing! "Don't be shocked, and you'll get used to it." Kelly patted their shoulders, "Let's head back to the dorm and let them talk.” Mya and Joyce were stunned, being led away by Kelly without realizing it.
"Put on your mask." Arabella was worried his face would cause a scene.

Arabella was puzzled, "Don't we talk on the phone every day?" "You never initiated contact." Romeo looked at her, hurt, "You don't want to see me. Seems like your college life is so busy you've forgotten about me." And there he went again, acting all childish.
He was cool and aloof in front of her friends just now, and now he's like a little boy.
Arabella found it amusing, "Didn't | say I'd see you after my extracurricular activities?" "Why wait until then?" Romeo looked at her, puzzled, "You have tto eat with your friends but no tto think about me, whether I'm hungry or lonely." "Don't you have Carl to keep you company?" Carl wished he could disappear right now.
"He's a guy. How can he compare to you?" Romeo said.
Carl was speechless, thinking, "Mr. McMillian, that's unfair. | might not be Arabella, but | do much work too. I'm irreplaceable.” Arabella looked at him helplessly, "So what's your solution?" "Stay withtoday. Tomorrow's a day off, right? Stay withthen, too!" Romeo didn't give her a chance to reject. He continued, "Can't you givesperks?" Arabella knew what he was implying. He had been hinting at it since she started college. He wanted her to stay over at his place, didn't he? "You can't cross the line." "I know, don't worry." Romeo gently stroked her face, the face he had been longing for. Now he finally had a chance to touch it, he wanted to do so a little longer.
"Remove your hand." "I haven't seen you for a long time." He was reluctant to let go.
