Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 122

"Hold on, I'm your boyfriend now. Shouldn't we be spending time together?" Hugo wasn't going to let her go, so he grabbed her wrist and whispered in her ear.

Pearl felt uncomfortable with his touch and tried to break free, but his grip was firm.

"I know you don't have feelings for me, and you know why I'm with you." Unable to escape his grasp, Pearl glared at him.

"I know. I'm trying to make you fall in love with me," Hugo whispered in her ear and smiled. "Pearl, don't make me angry, or you might regret it."

Pearl couldn't help but think that this man was crazy. "Why are you so stubborn, Hugo? What have you turned into?"

Hugo looked at her in disbelief and smiled. "Could it be that I've always been like this?"

Pearl froze, not understanding what led a person who grew up in a perfect family to turn into someone like him.

"Alright, let's forget about it. You didn't go out with me last time, but you can't turn me down again."

Hugo was about to lead her out the door when his phone suddenly rang. It was an emergency surgery. The patient's condition deteriorated, requiring immediate intervention.

"I guess I won't be able to go out with you this time either." Hugo sighed with disappointment.

As for Pearl, she sighed as well, but it was a sigh of relief. She smiled and waved him off, "Go ahead, Hugo. Better not let your patient's condition worsen."

"It's too early to celebrate, Pearl. This is just a minor surgery that will be done in two hours."

Her eyes brightened as she had an idea of where to begin searching. However, after checking the cabinets that might contain the files, she came up empty-handed.

If her hunch was correct, the file she needed might be in Hugo's office.

Realizing that Hugo might have caught onto her plan, she gave up her search, returned the cabinets to their original state, and left the department.

She then proceeded to Hugo's office and thoroughly combed through it. Two hours passed, but she still couldn't find what she was looking for.

"Are you looking for this?" a voice suddenly asked.
