Chapter 366

When they both got home, Dustan was in the living room watching television. When he saw Pearl

returning, he appeared as if he was about to leave, but Pearl stopped him.

“What’s going on, Mister Dustan?”

Dustan forced a smile. “Nothing. You’re overthinking things, Pearl.”

Pearl…

She noticed the change in the way he addressed her. Unable to get any more information from him,

Pearl decided to investigate further. She headed back to her room, but Richard was summoned into the

study by Dustan.

No one knew what was discussed between them, but the following day, Richard seemed noticeably

quieter.

Pearl noticed his mood and asked, “What’s bothering you?”

Richard shook his head. “I’m going to the office. If you don’t have much going on, you should go to

Cerubleu earlier as well.”

“You’re telling me to go to my office?” Pearl was confused. He seemed perfectly fine the previous day,

but now he was distant

all of a sudden.

Richard didn’t say anything and just pressed his lips together.

Pearl felt an overwhelming discomfort in her heart and insisted, “Tell me what’s going on, Richard.

Don’t keep it from me.”

“I’m fine. There’s work to be done, so I need to head out,” Richard replied, looking sad as he walked

away.

Pearl clenched her jaw and followed him to Waldorf Enterprises.

When she arrived, she realized all her things had been cleared out and her desk was taken by the new

design director.

Entering the office, she saw Richard working as if everything was normal but appeared highly stressed.

“Richard, can you tell me what is going on?”

Richard looked up, his eyes filled with emotions that Pearl couldn’t decipher. “I’m fine. However,

according to the rules, you can’t be here anymore.”

Pearl scoffed. “You once said that Waldorf Enterprises would be mine if I stayed with you. Was that just

a lie?”

Richard shook his head “No.”

“So, what’s really going on?” she pressed.

Richard sighed. “If you want to stay here, I’ll give you a new place.”

Reluctant to delve deeper into the matter, Pearl nodded and allowed Richard to arrange a new office

for her

Richard allocated the farthest office from his own for Pearl. While it was considerably better than her

previous desk, the distance felt like she was being pushed away.

Around noon, Richard would usually have lunch with Pearl. However, when Pearl looked over, she saw

Jenny Sullivan in his office instead. It was a familiar scene: Richard sitting at his desk, Jenny waiting on

his couch for him to finish work

Though their interaction seemed platonic, Richard’s silence felt like a dagger in Pearl’s heart.

“What are you doing here, Pearl?” Jenny sounded curious. It made Pearl feel like she was an outsider.

Pearl didn’t bother looking at her. “I’m here to see Richard. Don’t think it’s any of your business.”

Jenny covered her mouth as she chuckled. “Pearl, if you’re planning to have lunch with Richard, forget

about it. He promised

to have lunch with me.”

Pearl couldn’t believe her ears. She turned to Richard and calmly, yet firmly asked, “Richard, is she

telling the truth?”

Richard didn’t say anything, but his silence was an answer.

Jenny confidently grabbed Richard’s arm and smirked. “See, there’s no need to put yourself in such an

embarrassing situation. You’re only making things difficult for Richard.”
