The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 1389

Chapter 1389

Even though the penthouse suite was booked, the first and second floors were still open to everyone.

"That's pretty generous already."

"Yeah, I've never had a meal that pricey in my life neither."

Serena glanced back to see a throng of tourists, at least a few dozen, all halted in their tracks, barred from ascending to the

penthouse, hoping to linger and try their luck once the party upstairs had dispersed.

She noticed their simple and plain attire and couldn't help but approach the staff, "What kind of requirements does one need to

meet to book the whole place?"

Her question drew the curious gaze of many bystanders.

"Is she here to book it? Judging by her clothes, her family must be loaded."

"Her boyfriend looks like he's made of money too. Booking the place should be a breeze for him."

“If she's asking that, money must be no object to her."

"Talk about loaded. Why are the rich and beautiful everywhere nowadays?"

Serena's vanity soared, and she looked confidently at the staff member.

The employee hesitated, then diplomatically responded, "It's about status.

Average rich folks just wouldn't cut it.

“What about Bard then?" Serena continued.

The staff member's face twitched, half-convinced Serena knew Bard and his tone becmore respectful, "Mr.

Bard could, of course."

Serena understood that whoever had booked the penthouse was of considerable stature, at least of her uncle's caliber.

“Martin, let's book the place for ourselves.” Serena said, taking Martin's hand.

Although Martin's business had been thriving back home, his clout in Dawnstar wasn't quite as formidable.

Booking the entire top floor of the Emerald Tower wasn't something money alone could achieve.

Seeing the firm grip Serena had on his hand and the smile on her face, Martin finally said, “Okay, wait for me."

He reached out to his buddy Fitch who retorted, "Has that queen ever had enough? It's just a view, what's the big deal?"

"Mind your language."

“Lreally can't help you with this one, bro. Only my dad could pull it off, but why would he waste his connections on your

queen?”

Before Fitch could finish, Diana snatched the phone, "Martin! She's being ridiculous and you're indulging her?

Did you get kicked in the head by a mule?"

"Why are you with him?" Martin was surprised; his sister and Fitch, how did that happen?

“It's because of you! If it weren't for you, | wouldn't have sprained my ankle! Anyway, chfor dinner tonight, and don't say

| didn’t remind you. It's Grandpa's birthday!" Diana said and hung up in a huff.

Martin saw the hopeful look in Serena's eyes and added, “Just a bit longer."

After much thought, he still messaged his father.

He had never sought his father's help with his business, even in the face of the biggest challenges, he had always toughed it out

on his own.

This was the first the wanted to use his father’s influence to fulfill Serena's wish.

The Cooper family owned numerous department stores worldwide, with a workforce exceeding two million. If his father stepped in,

booking the venue would be no issue.
