Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)

Chapter 23

Richard turned back to her and asked suspiciously, "Why? Did Sean approach you?"

"No, we just happened to bump into each other and chatted for a bit. But your family always speaks fiercely as if they're trying to poke others with needles."

This description was inexplicably amusing. Richard looked at her helpless expression and explained, "Sean's always been like that. Just get used to it and don't pay it any mind." "Okay, I'll wear this dress. The party's starting in half an hour. We shouldn't be late."

"Okay"

When they got back to the office, the entrance was swarming with journalists. When they saw Richard and Pearl attend the party together, they quickly surrounded them.

"May I ask if the secret love between you two is real?"

"Is Richard and Pearl's love real?

"Can you answer our questions?"

Richard gave them an icy stare, and everyone fell silent. During the brief pause, he quickly brought Pearl into the building.

The party was just a small business gathering, but Richard was

evidently in the limelight wherever he went and would always be surrounded by people asking him for advice. Pearl sneaked to the rest area and started eating the desserts on the table.

When she sat down, Emily swaggered over. "Why if it isn't Pearl, our great heroine? Why aren't you with Mister Richard?"

Emily's face turned livid when she recalled that incident. Stop acting so smug. Abby, Richard's sweetheart, is the fiancee acknowledged by the Waldorfs. You're just an orphan. You have no right to marry the ou Pearl smiled and shook her head. "I never said I'd marry Richard. Also, do you deserve him if I don't?"

"Why you!"

"All the Waldorfs are outstanding people. So Emily, are you saying that the other Waldorfs aren't excellent?"

Pearl found the loophole in Emily's words and rebuked the latter until the latter was tongue-

tied. Emily knew that Pearl had a way with words, so she was bothered to refute Pearl. She simply sneered as she thought of her upcoming plan.

"Stop sowing discord. You'll be driven out of the company sooner or later."

"I stand by what I said. Go ahead and try me." Pearl smiled.

Unable to outspeak Pearl, Emily left dejectedly.

It was then time for today's highlight. Richard walked up to the stage and started announcing the achievements of the company for this season. Suddenly, a disharmonious comment came from a comer. "I find that there's something wrong with the business for this

Richard looked to the corner calmly. He asked in a deep voice, "What do you have to say about it?"
