Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 278

Pearl found the source of her bad luck when she heard Jenny's reply.

"You asked for coffee two hours ago. Are you denying it now?"

Jenny finally remembered. "Oh, I'm sorry, Pea. I forgot since it's so long ago. We just had a meeting so I've forgotten about this."

Concerned about Pearl's drenched state, Jenny apologized, "Are you alright? You're soaked. I'm really sorry. If I hadn't asked for the coffee, you wouldn't have had to go out in this weather. You should dry off to avoid catching a cold."

Pearl was suspicious of her lack of remorse. "It's fine."

Despite Jenny's harmless appearance, Pearl could see the ridicule in her eyes. It was fleeting, and Pearl wondered if she had imagined it.

For now, this person didn't seem to be a villain, but she wasn't particularly pleasant either. Pearl nodded and left it at that.

Suddenly, something crossed Pearl's mind, and she raised an eyebrow. Before embarking on her coffee run, she had been explaining things to Jenny with her phone on the desk. At one point, she had walked away to make a copy of a file.

She realized how her message was read.

After changing into dry clothes, she entered the president's office. No one knew what happened within, but when she emerged, her face betrayed her anger.

Pearl was touched. "Alright. Focus on your work now." She then returned to her desk.

Pearl scanned her desk for the files and suddenly exclaimed, "Where are my files?"

The coworker next to her replied, "The president took them. He said you're not in the best state today, so you shouldn't be working on them. He'll handle them personally."

Pearl scoffed. "He's rejecting my work just because I'm not at my best for one day?"
