The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1035

"Just a moment, it's been a while since we've had a good chat," President Charles was trying to convince Arabella to stay. It wasn't often he had the chance to catch up with her over a cup of coffee.

Usually, Arabella was too busy with her business to sit down for a chat. It was as rare as a hen's teeth.

"Next time," Arabella was worried about keeping her classmates waiting. By now, they should have finished packing and ready to return to school.

"All right, I know you're busy." President Charles smiled, not wanting to hold her up. "When you have time, give your grandpa a call."

Mya's eyes widened again. Arabella had President Charles' number? And she called him Grandpa? What was their relationship?

"It sounds like they're close," she thought.

"All right," Arabella smiled and nodded. "I'm leaving now."

"Don't get too caught up in random stuff. Take care of yourself," President Charles reminded her before she left.

It sounded like caring advice from a family member. As Mya followed Arabella, she couldn't help but whisper, "Bella, do you know President Charles well? Are you guys close?"

It seemed like President Charles was very fond of Arabella.

"Yes, like family," Arabella admitted.

Mya was surprised, "Then why didn't you choose Summerfield College? Was it just because of Westerly College's lab equipment?"

"Yes." Arabella looked up. "Where are they?"

Why were they taking so long to pack up? There was no sign of them.

"I'll go find them," Mya offered to help.

After a while, Arabella checked the headcount and noticed that Joyce and Mavis were missing.

She took out her phone and tried calling them, but no one answered.
