Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 699

The man stroked his chin, deep in thought. "How could | not know you? I've listened to every song you've released and watched every episode of the

s you've acted in. I'm your biggest fan.”

Biggest fan...

Pearl's mouth twitched. For sreason, she had a feeling that this man was a bit strange.

"Sadly, there was news about your death not long ago. | actually believed it and was upset for a while."

Pearl's expression darkened. “You thought | was dead.”

The man laughed. “You're even more interesting in person. Looks like | chose the right idol to support."

Pearl didn't want to spend any more twith him. Finally, the elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor.

"You were so busy chatting withthat you forgot to press the elevator button.”

As the elevator went up, the man looked confused. “Are you going to see the president?”

“Well, this has nothing to do with you. Goodbye.” Pearl rushed out of the elevator.

Watching her go, the man slowly smiled.

Pearl arrived at the president's office, but Richard wasn't there.

His office was the sas before, but the photo of the two of them on his desk was gone.

Pearl sat down on a nearby couch. Knowing his routine, Richard would likely return from lunch in about ten minutes.

Sure enough, Richard cin at half-past twelve, accompanied by a woman holding his arm. True to her name, Winona had a gentle appearance.

Seeing Pearl, Winona’s expression showed a hint of confusion. “Why are you here?”

Pearl nodded politely, trying to keep her composure. "I'm here to discuss something with Mister Richard.”

Mister Richard... It sounded distant and formal.

But under these circumstances, Pearl had to use it, or Richard might have her thrown out.

Richard remained indifferent and said, "I already told you, | won't do you any favors.”

Winona forced a smile, observing Richard's cold attitude and suppressing her worry for now. "It's good to see you're still alive, Pearl."

In truth, Winona had known Pearl was alive for a while. Without Pearl, she wouldn't have had a chance with Richard.

"Thanks for your concern, Miss Jesselton. But | really need to talk to Mister Richard today."

Winona smiled and took Pearl's hand, whispering, "If there's anything you need, you can just tell me, Pearl."

In the past, Pearl wouldn't have shown vulnerability in front of someone mocking her. But now, she had to lower her standards. "We're having some

issues in our company, and I'd like to seek Mister Richard's help."

Richard raised an eyebrow, his voice carrying a trace of displeasure. "I don't want to repeat myself."

Winona complained, "Rick, she was someone you once liked. You don't have to be so cold to her."

Richard's previous kindness to Pearl had made many women jealous in Enswood. Even though this situation had always bothered her, she didn't

mind using it to hurt others.

"It's fine. | don’t want to see her at all." Richard's eyes were sharp, his expression cold and distant.
