Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 21

Emily could scold Pearl, but if it involved the Waldorfs… When she thought of the Waldorfs’ power, she shuddered in fear.

Pearl did not want to dwell on the past with this old classmate, so she lowered her gaze. "I'm glad you understand. Now, you're disturbing my work, Miss Emily."

This statement was the final blow for Emily. Her face turned livid as she gaped, but she could not refute Pearl. She straightened up and said fiercely, "Why you… You may be engaged to the Waldorfs and are under their protection, but you'll still be fired sooner or later if you prove useless since this is a place of work.”

Pearl remained unconcerned. She smiled. "We'll see about that."

Emily glared at Pearl before she stomped away angrily, thinking of ways to vent her anger.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Pearl emailed her proposal to Emily an hour in advance. Emily quickly rejected it without any comments. There was only a vague order attached.

[Redo it.]

As expected, Emily always found ways to make things difficult for Pearl.

Pearl was confident in her proposal, so she emailed it to Emily again without any modifications. And as expected, Emily refused it again. Pearl could not be bothered to discuss this with Emily, so she immediately went to the president's office with the proposal.

Richard was working. When he saw Pearl come in, he asked indifferently, "What is it?"

She placed the proposal before him and smiled. "Richard, your department manager thinks my proposal isn't good enough. Would you please take a look at it?"

Pearl was wearing a professional suit with a rather low collar. When she bent over in front of him, her vaguely exposed bosom made it hard for him to look at her directly.

Richard averted his gaze and looked at the proposal on the table. "Fine, I’ll look at it."

"Deduct two months' salary from her pay."

Emily became furious but did not dare to express it. She cursed Pearl in her heart and yearned to slap the latter.

After Emily left, Richard looked toward Pearl.

"You differentiate between reward and punishment well, Mister Richard."

Pearl was not fully satisfied with this result but at least she managed to teach Emily a lesson.

Richard looked at her grinning face while his thoughts ran a mile an hour. As expected, she had not let him down. She was full of surprises.
