Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 240

"Isn't everyone here a graduate of a top university? The two directors sitting before you were top students from Ancard's universities. As for your experience, I doubt you have any noteworthy designs to showcase. Besides, when I reviewed your past Christmas exclusive jewelry, I found that there's a reason for its mediocre sales."

Pearl's words struck right at the heart of Sophia's confidence, dismantling it within seconds.

Suddenly, Sophia felt like a laughingstock, as if she were trying to teach the fish how to swim and failing miserably, causing humiliation rather than success.

"We're colleagues, Pearl. How could you say that about me..." Sophia feigned innocence, wearing a pure expression, which soon elicited sympathy from some of the male colleagues.

Unable to outwit Pearl, Sophia played the victim card, but Pearl exposed her manipulative tactic. "So you resort to tears when you can't win an argument. Are these the kind of petty tricks you've learned in the company, Miss Sophia?"

Stunned, Sophia was struck dumb on the spot, not knowing how to respond.

Richard cleared his throat, casting a glance at the quarreling pair. "Alright, let's stop this bickering. I've made my decision. Does anyone else want to voice their opinion?"

After that, he looked at Pearl with a doting gaze. Her words would make Sophia sad for a while.

Lazily, Sean raised his hand. "I have something to say."

Pearl braced herself, anticipating that Sean was about to stir up trouble again, but his next statement took her by surprise.
