Chapter 166

“Why did you come to pick me up today?”

Hearing that, Richard appeared uneasy. “Didn’t you say I don’t know how to win women over? I think

it’s considered one of the tricks to win you over if I drive you to and from work.”

“Who taught you that?”

After some thought, Richard replied rather slowly, “Justin.”

He had trouble sleeping after hanging up the call last night. Hence, he called Justin, the playboy, to

have a drink at Dark Bar.

“So, you dragged me out here, interrupting my late-night pursuits of meeting women, just to ask me

about… picking up women?”

Richard shot Justin a glare. “No, I’m trying to win a woman over.”

“It’s pretty close.” Justin leaned back casually. “Well, first, you need to do something that moves her,

like driving her to and from work and buying her gifts. You have to say some romantic things to her too.

Women like that stuff. I’m sure a smart woman like Pearl will like it too.”

Richard took mental notes and kicked Justin. “What kind of gifts?”

“Tsk, you can give her whatever you want since you’re filthy rich. You can even buy her a house.”

Recalling that advice, Richard took out a card from his bag.

“I’ve put the money you spent to buy the villa on this card. Well, consider the villa a gift from me.”

His words made Pearl laugh. “What’s wrong? Do you have too much money to spend?”

Stunned, Richard wondered why Pearl wasn’t moved as Justin had suggested.

“Okay, I won’t turn down your generosity since you insist.” Pearl accepted his card and stuffed it into

her bag. “Everybody wants money.”

“Is there anything else you like? I can buy it for you.”

Finally, Pearl believed that Richard knew nothing about wooing women.

“You can’t win women over this way. Since you want to give me a ride, you might as well drive me to

Cerubleu. I want to meet Wayne.”

Bitterness overwhelmed Richard when he heard that she wanted to see Wayne again. Awkwardly, he

asked, “Why are you meeting him again? Is there something I can’t help you with?”

His words filled Pearl with silence. She wanted to tell Richard that she was Wayne’s superior but she

couldn’t.

With a forced smile, she retorted, “Are you driving me there or not? If not, I’ll go on my own.”

Helpless, Richard nodded and agreed. But he seemed reluctant and drove slowly on purpose.

Suddenly, they encountered a traffic jam, and he gradually stopped the car by the street.

“I guess it’ll take more than half an hour. Do you want me to have my assistant fly a helicopter here?”

Stupefied, Pearl wondered why Richard had such a bold idea “We’re in the middle of town. Can’t you

think about the consequences before you do anything? Where’s your common sense?”

A helicopter appearing out of nowhere might cause more than just a traffic jam. It could lead to a

serious accident.

“I don’t care about what others think because I just want to give you a ride.”

His words might have captivated young, naive, and love-struck women, but Pearl was different. She

just felt like kicking him.

“It’s okay to wait a little. I’m not in a rush,” Pearl said.

“I may not be good at pursuing women, but I really want to be nice to you. You must tell me if I did

anything wrong.”

Pearl had never seen this side of Richard before-serious yet helpless in his pursuit of love.

Suddenly, she found herself at a loss for words, and silence fell between them. Then, Pearl turned to

the window and was drawn to some commotion outside.
