Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 30

Richard's voice turned cold. "I have to prioritize company matters. Is there a problem with that?"

Abby was refused again. She bit her lips and fell silent.

Pearl watched Abby's back as the latter left the office. She found this amusing. "Are you sure you want to hurt your childhood sweetheart this way? She seemed so miserable."

Richard glanced at Pearl. "Focus on the proposal."

Pearl smiled. "Sean was right. You're a workaholic who doesn't care for women."

Richard did not respond to her. He lowered his head and read the proposal seriously. The sunlight shone on his face, casting a light shadow. Pearl noticed the unfathomable light in his eyes.

By the time they finished modifying the proposal, it was already three in the afternoon. Suddenly, Pearl's stomach growled.

Richard raised an eyebrow. "Come on. I'll take you to get something to eat."

After they packed up, they headed out of the office. They bumped into Abby who was just coming back. Pearl smiled at her.

Abby's red and swollen eyes became even redder. She wiped away her tears and ran into the building.

This interlude did not affect their mood though. Richard took her to a restaurant that he liked and ordered two plates of pasta.

Pearl smiled as she bit on her fork. "I’m surprised you like this kind of food, Richard."

Richard was elegant even if he was merely eating pasta. He took a bite and said indifferently, "What do you think I should eat? Steak? Truffle?"
