Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chatper 538

Chapter 538

The driver began to wonder if this lady had been dumped, thinking about the hundred–dollar fare he had received.

As Pearl returned to the Waldorf Residence, darkness had already fallen. All the residents were fast asleep, except

for Richard, whose room still emitted a warm glow of light.

Entering the room, Pearl found it unoccupied. She turned to leave but collided with a solid chest as she took a step

backward.

Looking up, she found Richard standing before her, not looking particularly pleased. He carried the scent of

cigarettes, and Pearl immediately realized what had happened.

“You went to the bar?” she inquired.

Richard nodded and didn’t say anything.

Pearl hesitated before continuing, “You saw everything?”

Still wordless, Richard gazed at her, an unsettling intensity in his eyes that made her skin crawl.

“I’m going to take a shower. Wait for me here,” he instructed calmly, then walked into the bathroom.

The sound of running water filled the air, and Pearl slowly made her way to Richard’s bed, where she took a seat,

her heart pounding.

She couldn’t help but notice that Richard was clearly upset. She wasn’t sure how to explain, and even if she did, it

might be futile because he might not listen.

Sitting on the bed, she braced herself for whatever punishment Richard had in store.

The sound of splashing water ceased after a while. The bathroom door opened, and Richard emerged, clad in a

bathrobe.

Pearl’s eyes followed a single water droplet as it traveled down his face, traced a path over his abs, and eventually

disappeared into the unknown.

“Are you seducing me?” Pearl gulped, her face breaking into a silly smile.

Richard seemed to find her expression amusing. He took a few steps closer and tilted her chin up. “Who do you

think looks better, him or me?”

Pearl didn’t even have to think about it. “You, of course.”

Richard nodded and smiled. “Good, you get a kiss as a reward.” He leaned down and planted a kiss on her lips.

“Richard “Pearl started to speak, but he didn’t stop. Instead, he deepened the kiss as if he wanted to devour her

lips.

Pearl found it difficult to breathe, so she thumped lightly at his chest. “Enough, Richard. Stop it.”
