He didn’t have the chance to ask more because Pearl suddenly remembered her urgent business and

hurriedly bid them goodbye.

“I’m glad the girl’s okay. As long as it doesn’t traumatize her, she’ll be fine. Okay, bye.’

The couple hesitated but couldn’t find a way to voice their doubts. Helplessly, they nodded and

watched her leave.

Pearl went to Cerubleu. Since she was drenched, she went to the office to change her clothes and dry

her hair.

However, when she stepped into the president’s office, she found Wayne sitting with Richard,

engrossed in what appeared to be a business conversation.

When Wayne saw Pearl, his expression changed. “Miss Pearl, you…”

Not very surprised, Pearl calmly said, “I came to see you about something. I can leave if you’re busy.

Wayne, sensing Pearl’s bad mood, ignored Richard and recognized that they might have a conflict

again.

“No, I’m not busy. Mister Richard and I were just discussing the upcoming season’s collaboration. We’ll

finish up shortly.” Richard, on the other hand, silently stared at Pearl.

“Alright, I’ll sit here and wait.” Pearl took a seat on a nearby sofa but couldn’t help feeling puzzled as

she listened to their conversation.

Richard seemed to be engaging in meaningless banter, as if he were stalling to prevent Pearl from

talking to Wayne. Frustration building up, Pearl decided to pass the time by playing a mobile game,

taking out her anger on the virtual enemies she was fighting. She even slapped the table angrily when

her in-game soldiers were defeated. “You useless idiots!”

Both Richard and Wayne were struck speechless.

“Look at how lousy you are! How useless!

“Hey, who do you think you are, scolding me like that? You’ve been lurking in the bushes for equipment

for ages. I have no idea what you’re even doing there!

“How much did they pay you? Why are you so useless? It’s ridiculous to have four versus six!

“Chop off your hands if you can’t play! How lousy!”

Despite her best efforts to turn the tide, Pearl was ultimately defeated in the game.

Although Pearl’s verbal lashing was directed at unrelated people, Richard couldn’t help but feel like it

was aimed at him.

“Okay, I’m leaving. This is ridiculous,” Richard said as he got up, but Pearl stopped him.

“You were in the middle of a conversation with him. Why are you leaving?”

“You know why, Pearl.”

Pearl rolled her eyes at him with disdain. “Why should I care about your reasons?”

Staring at her, Richard asked, “What brought you to Wayne’s office today?”

“It’s none of your business. Would you tell me where you’re going if you meet someone else?” Pearl

rudely retorted.

Unfazed by her response, Richard said, “I can always tell you about my whereabouts if you want.”

“No need. I’m not interested in your affairs.”

Her words filled Richard with disappointment.

“Alright, couples don’t stay angry for long…” Wayne suddenly blurted that out, shocking them. Enraged,

Pearl demanded, “What did you just say, Wayne?”

“Huh? Aren’t you guys a couple?” Confused, Wayne didn’t understand why Pearl was suddenly upset

with him.

“We’ve never been a couple, and we never will be.”
