Chapter 11

The online chat during the live stream erupted with even greater fervor:

"What's happening? Why is Mr. Blackwood addressing Arabella as 'boss'?"

"Mr. Blackwood is a business world icon. Arabella's just a penniless, struggling woman. How could he publicly refer to her as 'boss'?"

"I'm baffled. What's the link between them?"

"I'm perplexed. Is this dog-petting girl concealing something? Does she have some hidden arrangement?!"

Amid the flood of astonished remarks, Axel gazed at Dorian, clearly bewildered.

"Mr. Blackwood, why are you calling Arabella 'boss'? Are you certain you're not mistaken?"

Rowan swiftly chimed in, "Indeed, Mr. Blackwood, this Arabella is a nobody, residing in squalor. How can you label her your boss? Isn't that demeaning to your position?"

Elara, struggling to comprehend the situation, sneered, "Mr. Blackwood, are you jesting? I doubt someone as foolish and destitute as Arabella even merits polishing your footwear. How could she possibly be your superior?"
