The Princess and the Paupers

Chapter 62
“No need; I’m just going to take a look around.” Arabella glanced at the elevator’s floor layout and randomly pressed the button
for the second floor, the design department.
Early in the morning, there were only a few people in the design department. Some were playing with their phones, and some
were catching some z’s. The atmosphere was lax as hell.
The receptionist knocked on the door when she led Arabella in.
But when the design department saw that she brought a high school–looking girl, they thought she was a family member; they
didn’t give a hoot. “Nadia, did you bring your family to work today?” A chubby woman laughed, “Come play some games with
me!”
Nadia quickly gave her the stink eye to shut her up.
“What’s wrong with your eyes?”
The chubby woman didn’t notice anything, but Arabella came over and saw the woman playing a game on her computer and
lazily pointed out, “You’re about to lose.
The chubby woman was taken aback. Did this girl know the game’s strategy?
“You could do this.”
The chubby woman listened to Arabella’s advice, and her hand involuntarily started to move.
Under Arabella’s guidance, the chubby woman won the game in a short time.
“Wow, you’re really something! How old are you?” The chubby woman patted Arabella’s shoulder and asked, “Can you help me
win a couple more rounds? I’ll buy you some candy!”
“This is Ms. Bennett, the company’s head, sent by headquarters!” The receptionist immediately explained, “Now you guys better
get to work, focus on your designs, and stop messing around.”
The chubby woman looked at the high–school–looking girl in front of her. She was utterly shocked; she didn’t know what to say!

She? The company’s head was sent by headquarters?
She’s so young; she hadn’t even graduated from high school yet, right?
Was she some big shot’s lover who got her this job to torture them?
Everyone else was also puzzled about Arabella’s age; how could she manage a company?
“With the way you play, you won’t win in three to five months.” Arabella patted the chubby woman’s shoulder and said, “Better
get to work and earn some more money.”
As Arabella was about to leave the design department, she spotted a girl in the corner wearing headphones, her back to them,
and drawing something on a piece of white paper.
“This is Molly, the most diligent and ambitious designer in our company.” Nadia, the receptionist, said, gently touching Molly’s
shoulder.
Molly removed her headphones and looked at the stranger in front of her, somewhat puzzled but still politely asking, “Do you
need something from me?
The office was too noisy just now; she was drawing drafts with her headphones on and had no idea what was going on.
This is Ms. Bennett, our company’s head.” Nadia whispered, “You better greet her.”
Molly looked at Arabella, immediately stood up, and timidly but respectfully said, “Good morning, Ms. Bennett.”
“Are these all your designs?” Arabella’s eyes fell on a stack of drafts.
“Yes.” Molly quickly handed the drafts to Arabella.
“Molly graduated from college at 18. She was a real brainiac at school! She loves fashion design, and she’s already designed
quite a few pieces for the company since she started last month.”
“Pretty good.” Arabella handed the drafts back to her, saying, “Keep it up.”
“Thank you, Ms. Bennett, Molly watched Arabella’s retreating figure; she didn’t expect that she was about the same age as her
and that she was already the head of the company! That meant she must be really capable!

After going around the company, Arabella found that the overall atmosphere was incredibly lax. Before coming to this company,
all the companies she managed combined weren’t one percent as lax as this one!
