Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 135

"Oh, I'm fine. It's just that my ankle hurts so bad," the lady replied with a smile, though her expression was tinged with sadness.

"I feel like I've seen you so many times. Since the first time you gave me flowers, you've always been very mysterious. Now that we are meeting again, could you tell me your name, please?" Pearl asked with a warm smile.

"I… My last name is Ramsay."

"You can't tell me your name? That's fine, I'll just call you Madam Ramsay then."

The woman nodded and didn't say anything more.

After sending her to the hospital, Pearl told her to take care of herself and left. She returned to the office but was summoned into a meeting before she could even take a moment to rest.

"Pearl, you have a new mission." Richard turned around and placed a file on the desk, then slid it over. "We plan to design an Angel & Devil series of bracelets for best friends, but we haven't found a suitable brand ambassador. I was wondering if we should use you for this."

Pearl's eyes went wide. "Why me again? Richard, I'm the design director, not a celebrity. Why don't you get a proper celebrity to do this?"

Richard gave a practical reason, "We can save a lot of money if we go with you."

Pearl smiled. Why would the Waldorfs fret over the small expense of hiring a brand ambassador? That seemed ridiculous.

"Are you just trying to torture me, Richard?"

Richard didn't deny it. "Of course not. I was just thinking from the company's perspective."

His main reason, of course, was that if Pearl had to be in the ads, he would have more opportunities to spend time with her. While she worked in the office, their conversations were limited to business matters.

Pearl wasn't aware of his ulterior motive, so she hesitated. "But shouldn't two people be involved in promoting these best friend bracelets?"

Hanzel was puzzled. "Why are you laughing?"

Richard explained to him, "Have you read the agreement?"

Hanzel hesitated because he hadn't.

"It's a bracelet for best friends. How can you, a man, be in the ad campaign?"

Hanzel's expression turned awkward. "Uh, I was just thinking that I could go in drag and work with Pearl. It could work…"

Pearl was rendered speechless.
