Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 955
âShe hasnât been feeling well lately. Besides, itâs a small banquet, and thereâs no need to tire her out,â Romello explained calmly.
Jacintha giggled, her compliments sounding natural as she said, âMr. Romello, youâre so responsible! With your leadership, the Nicholls family will surely flourish.â
âThank you for your kind words,â Romello replied with a somewhat indifferent smile.
The servant who went to find Nathaniel quickly returned, a concerned expression on his
face.
âMr. Romello, Mr. Nathaniel isnât in his room. I couldnât find him anywhere.â
Romelloâs expression darkened instantly, muttering under his breath, âHow could he disappear right before the banquet? Find him immediately!â
âYes, sir.â
The servant hurriedly darted off.
Lionel and Jacintha exchanged glances, sensing the tension in the air.
As if realizing something, Jacintha quickly changed the subject, âMr. Romello, did you plan the banquet all by yourself? Itâs so exquisitely arranged. Could I ask you for some advice?â
Lionel chimed in, âMr. Romello, whatâs wrong? Itâs supposed to be a joyous occasion tonight, but you seem a bit displeased.â
Romello softened his stern gaze and continued to smile politely.
He was about to respond to Jacinthaâs question when he noticed the butler hurrying
toward them.
âMr. Romelloâ¦â the butler began, but Sheena interrupted him.
âWhereâs Gabrielle? I havenât seen her around. She usually loves these lively events,â
Sheena asked with a gentle smile.
Caught off guard, the butler replied, âMs. Gabrielle is probably still in her room getting reacy. Mr. Romello bought her a new pair of crystal earrings the other day, so she might still be deciding on which to wear.â
âI seeâ¦â Sheena nodded understandingly.
âExcuse me, Mrs. Jenkins, I have something urgent to discuss with Mr. Romello,â the butler said, attempting to move past Sheena.
Sheena blocked his path, politely insisting, âThe Nicholls residence is so large, and Iâm unfamiliar with the layout. Could you please accompany me to find Gabrielleâs room?â
âWellâ¦â
Sheena continued, âIâm sure Mr. Romello is busy with the guests, and any urgent matters can wait until after the banquet.â
The butler hesitated for a moment. He glanced over to where Romello was occupied with Lionel and Jacintha.
Seeing that Romelloâs attention was completely diverted, the butler relented.
âAlright. Mrs. Jenkins, please follow me.â
âThank you.â
A minute later, Nathaniel emerged from the mansion, stepping out and surveying the crowd in the garden, his gaze eventually settling on Elliot.
Elliot immediately sensed his presence, and the two shared a silent exchange.
Romello, still engrossed in conversation with Lionel and Jacintha, was growing impatient.
Spotting Nathanielâs arrival, he quickly dismissed Lionel and Jacintha, striding over to Nathaniel.
âWhy did you take so long to come down? Where were you just now?â Romello
demanded.
Nathaniel kept his head down, obediently replying, âIâm not sure what happened, but my stomach was upset. I had to use the toilet for quite some time.â
Though Romello was clearly displeased, he could not publicly criticize Nathaniel for a basic bodily need, especially in front of so many guests.
After composing himself, Romello continued, âHow are the preparations going? Thereâs no room for failure tonight. Do you understand?â
âYes, donât worry. Iâll execute everything perfectly.â
Romello begrudgingly accepted his response, emitting a couple of disdainful snorts before turning away
