The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1048

"I'll take you to get this sorted." Romeo cradled her in his arms as he made his way to another penthouse suite.

The manager on duty this floor caught sight of them, his eyes bulging in surprise. Mr. McMillian was rumored to be a private man, so it was quite a shock to see him so affectionate with a young girl.

Could the whispers be true? Was Mr. McMillian secretly dating someone?

Was this girl the one he was rumored to be dating?

She didn't look more than seventeen or eighteen, probably still in high school.

Mr. McMillian certainly didn't seem to mind.

Not having time to contemplate the situation further, the manager hastily walked over to them, pulling out his master key card to unlock another suite.

"Fetch the first-aid kit," Romeo instructed, his voice calm.

"Yes, sir."

Only then did the manager notice the faint scratches on the girl's shin. Upon closer inspection, they seemed to be just a few minor cuts, probably from small stones or the like.

The manager thought, "Oh, how vulnerable these young girls were nowadays. A tiny scratch and she needed Mr. McMillian to carry her. She couldn't even walk on her own. Such a spoiled girl."

As Romeo entered the room, he noticed the manager's lingering gaze and turned back to ask coldly, "Still staring?"

"I was just checking Miss Bella's injuries to see if we need more medical supplies. I'll go get them right away." The manager, scared out of his wits, hurriedly left.

Romeo placed Arabella gently on the couch, noticing the scratches on her shin and arm.

This girl was always getting hurt. He would have to look into getting some sort of on-the-go first aid kit.

"Don't worry, they're just minor scratches," Bella assured him with one glance. "It's nothing serious."
