The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 729

A couple of board members were pissed off and found a reason to bail.

"Hans, I owe you one." Molly was taken aback by Hans' special care for her, even helping her deal with the hassle.

"You're new to the company, and there's a lot of stuff and people you need to get used to." Hans barely finished his sentence when his phone started buzzing. "Excuse me for a sec."

"Go ahead, Hans." Seeing him take the call and head off elsewhere, presumably for work-related stuff, Molly didn't interrupt.

She accidentally spotted QY's CEO, Jaime, swarmed by a bunch of people, so she decided to step in.

"Guys, lay off Mr. Jaime for today, let's not talk shop." Molly fended off some overzealous chairpersons and shareholders who were eager to brown-nose, shielding Jaime behind her. "If there's anything about cooperation, Mr. Jaime will talk to me. You guys don't need to bother."

"Molly, I have something else to discuss with Mr. Jaime."

"You guys can schedule another time, Mr. Jaime is here for me today. At my celebration, I don't want to hear anything related to work."

Someone said, "I just proposed a suggestion to Mr. Jaime, but he hasn't responded yet."

"If he hasn't responded today, please give Mr. Jaime some personal space."

After shooing these people away, Molly apologized to Jaime, "I'm sorry, my people didn't get the memo and are always looking for a free ride. Mr. Jaime, don't worry about it, just say no if you want to. I'll school them to behave better."

"I understand your predicament, President Molly. It's okay, thanks for bailing me out."

Jaime was not only a CEO, but also a PR whiz, handling the situation earlier with ease, but being shielded by a young girl made him feel somewhat different.
