Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 339

"It's not about worry, it's about care. Except for me, any other man isn't a good one," Richard remarked.

Pearl was left speechless.

Just then, Derrick approached. Pearl swiftly distanced herself from Richard and greeted Derrick with a charming smile. "Mister Derrick, hello."

Today, Pearl exuded elegance in a white dress paired with high heels, showcasing her figure flawlessly.

Derrick was captivated, finding her allure far surpassing women covered in makeup.

"Hi, what are we having today?" he asked.

"I wasn't too sure about your taste, so I picked a local restaurant. I hope it won't disappoint you," Pearl said, a touch of concern in her tone.

"It sounds good already." Derrick glanced at the menu, noting the pricey dishes. He silently applauded Pearl's savvy choice.

After selecting a few dishes, they began chatting.

"Mister Derrick, aren't you working today?" Pearl feigned a mistake, chuckling apologetically. "Sorry, I forgot today's the weekend."

Who wouldn't appreciate a charmingly naive person? Derrick was no exception. "It's alright. Even if it were a workday, I'd come if you invited me."

"Isn't your job usually demanding?" Pearl furrowed her brows. Wary of Derrick's intentions, she tried to stick to the point.

"Not really. Just accounting and calculations. It's rather relaxed," Derrick replied.

As Pearl flipped through the documents, from the first page to the last, she wore an expression of admiration. "Impressive! These records are meticulously done."

"It's nothing. The key is to be smart. I think the reason your boss scolds you is because you're too honest in your bookkeeping," Derrick smirked with a hint of pride.

Puzzled, Pearl tilted her head. "What do you mean?"

Glancing around cautiously, Derrick leaned in. "You need to learn how to manipulate records."

"Are you suggesting Lawson Enterprises falsified their records?" Feigning surprise but secretly recording the conversation, Pearl pressed on. To ensure Derrick didn't hold back, she added with a sweet smile, "Derrick, darling, tell me. I'm genuinely curious."

Who could resist such sweet talk from a beautiful woman, especially being called 'darling'?
