Chapter 158: All-Nighter
After a day of visiting the territories her assistants hailed from, Arabella focused on work the following day.
Raymond had sent a lot of work both to her and Ferdinand to accomplish as soon as possible. They were both in Safiro for a week, after all. Thus, a lot of paperwork was lagging behind.
Raymond had been swamped with it in his office the whole time they were in Safiro. So now that they were back, they had to help him so he could take a short break since it should have been their work in the first place.
As the Prime Minister and Ferdinand’s butler, Raymond had no choice but to do all the work in their absence. He was very much competent but he also had a family to take care of. He hasn’t gone home for a week since the issue in Safiro was revealed.
’His children must miss him a lot,’ Arabella recalled the two little angels. It must be lonely not getting to see their father. Clarisse was very much understanding as well to have been allowing this for years.
Arabella also heard Raymond hadn’t slept for several days. Though he had a sturdy body, it still wasn’t good to overwork him all the time.
Raymond had no choice though since he was in charge once Ferdinand was busy elsewhere. But now that Arabella was here, she should be the one in charge in times her husband was away so she should get used to getting busy.
Thankfully, she wasn’t really new to it. She was just trying to act like a newbie the past month so everyone wouldn’t think it was suspicious that she already knew everything she should do without getting taught.
She had breakfast with Ferdinand early in the morning and they both headed to their respective offices shortly after.
’I can do this! This is nothing compared to all the work I did when I was the Empress for two decades,’ Arabella psyched herself up.
The documents were urgent which was why Raymond needed the help. Thus, Arabella focused on it for a whole day.
