Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 190

Pearl stayed in the hospital, unable to do much work, so Richard delegated all her work files to Sophia.

Pearl could only manage a sad chuckle when she found out. Was he trying to train Sophia to take over her role? She dismissed the thought and focused on resting.

When Dustan found out Pearl was admitted to the hospital and that no one was with her, he asked his five sons to take turns visiting her until she could be discharged. As for Susan, she was very concerned for Pearl, and she wholeheartedly supported Dustan's decision.

It was Richard's turn to visit on the first day, but Pearl was so angry that she couldn't even bear to look at him.

"You're a busy man, there's no need for you to visit."

Richard's eyes darkened at her words. "My dad told me to take good care of you."

Pearl found that amusing. "Did your dad threaten you with a knife to make you come? You don't need to force yourself."

Richard replied in a low voice, "I'm not forcing myself. I'm here on my own free will."

"This isn't important. You have a new colleague to take care of in the office. There's no need to put on a show here." Each time Pearl recalled how Richard had taken care of Sophia, it hurt her deeply.

"There's nothing between me and Sophia," Richard asserted.

Pearl scoffed. "Only you know if that's true or not. Who wouldn't like a kind and ambitious girl?"

Richard's eyes turned cold. "That's enough." He couldn't bear to hear her say that.

Pearl simply replied, "No."

"No? When you're together, your faces are so sour we could make lemonade," Sean quipped. "Did you suddenly realize I was the better choice, and Richard wasn't worth your affection?"

Pearl's head began to ache. She looked at Sean's smiling face and couldn't help but say, "If you have too much free time, you should go back to work. I don't want to hear your banter."

"Richard is quite heartless. He still has feelings for his ex. It's quite intriguing," Sean remarked candidly, though harshly.

Pearl endured his conversation for a bit longer before politely sending him on his way.
