Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 169

"I'm looking for Wayne. Where is he?" Pearl inquired.

The executive nodded thoughtfully. "I think he's not in today because he's gone on a business trip. By the way, who's the man who gave you a ride? Is he your boyfriend?"

"No, he's not." Pearl blushed, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Well, I have two kids now. Of course, I understand this kind of thing well. Plus, he seems rather attractive. Why don't… you give it a try with him?"

Pearl raised her brows and asked, "You don't know him, do you?"

The executive was stunned and baffled. "Who is he?"

"He's Richard."

The executive then exclaimed, "Richard… Waldorf?"

Pearl nodded, amused by the sudden change in the executive's expression. "What's wrong with him?"

"Being a wealthy bachelor, he has many women hoping to marry him. But I find him too cold and emotionless. Besides, I don’t think he’d be a good match for you because… you deserve better."

Pearl burst into laughter when she recalled how Richard wanted to fly a helicopter to give her a ride to work this morning.

"Alright, I'll go now since Wayne isn't around. But don't tell anyone what you saw today. Also, work hard and try not to gossip too much." Pearl offered her advice to the executive, who seemed to keep smiling as if she was enjoying the situation.

After a brief contemplation, Pearl decided to head to the hospital. However, before she could even set off, her phone's ringtone blared loudly, grabbing her attention.

Richard nodded. "Yeah, I did. The medicine is okay, but I don't know why this happened."

"So you're telling me that Missus Susan's condition suddenly deteriorated for no apparent reason, and she became a vegetable?"

"It's okay, I'll get the best doctor. I won't let my mom stay like this." Taking a deep breath, Richard continued, "When my mom wakes up, I'll make sure Hugo pays for what he did!"

He was determined to punish Hugo for hurting their mother.

"Can you let me examine Missus Susan, Richard?" Pearl asked.

Richard nodded and didn't object since he knew she had some medical knowledge.
