“Alright, I… I’ll let Esther go.” Clem untied Esther with shaky hands and removed the black tape

covering her mouth.

“Pearl, why would you help him?” Esther asked as she ran to hide behind Pearl once she was free,

staring daggers at Clem.

Pearl shook her head. “I’m not helping him. I’m just helping myself.”

“What do you mean?” From Esther’s perspective, Clem was a bad person who had kidnapped her, and

he deserved to be thrown in jail. There was no reason to help him.

“Clem is actually very good at what he does.”

Pearl had heard Wayne speak highly of Clem from Brilliance. He had a great work ethic and was good

at what he did. He had been treated unfairly, particularly after working with Yvonne, which had led him

to this situation.

“Thank you, Miss Pearl.” Clem’s eyes welled up with gratitude. He never expected the person he

despised so much to suddenly tumn around and do so much for him, even acknowledging his

capabilities.

“Don’t mention it, Mister Gutor. I know you’re a brilliant man, but you should never take the wrong path

in life and avoid making impulsive decisions you’ll regret.”

Pearl’s advice was sincere, and Clem didn’t feel any resentment even when she was admonishing him.

“I know, Miss Pearl.”

“Also, do your best when you start working at Brilliance. As long as you work hard, you’ll have a lot of

chances to be promoted.

”

Clem fell to his knees. “I’m forever indebted to you, Miss Pearl.”

Pearl helped him to his feet and smiled. “Alright, get up. You should go home. I’ll send over the

agreement tomorrow so you can just report to work at Brilliance Entertainment.”

Clem nodded and suddenly remembered the police report automation. “But Miss Pearl, your phone…”

Pearl chuckled. “I may have lied about that.”

Clem was speechless.

“You just said you never lie a minute ago,” Esther mumbled, and Pearl playfully tapped her head.

“Shush.”

Clem couldn’t help but laugh. Miss Pearl was rather adorable when she wasn’t being serious. He knew

he had made the right choice.

“Well, we should be going now. You’ll receive an update soon.” Pearl handed him a business card with

her contact information. “Send your address to me tomorrow.”

Clem nodded and carefully put the card away.

Pearl and Esther went back to the first floor.

“What happened? How did you get caught?” Pearl scolded Esther.

Esther scratched her face and smiled awkwardly. “Well, I was upset.”

Her expression then darkened as she remembered the reason.
