Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 366

When they both got home, Dustan was in the living room watching television. When he saw Pearl returning, he appeared as if he was about to leave, but Pearl stopped him.

"What's going on, Mister Dustan?"

Dustan forced a smile. "Nothing. You're overthinking things, Pearl."

Pearl…

She noticed the change in the way he addressed her. Unable to get any more information from him, Pearl decided to investigate further. She headed back to her room, but Richard was summoned into the study by Dustan.

No one knew what was discussed between them, but the following day, Richard seemed noticeably quieter.

Pearl noticed his mood and asked, "What's bothering you?"

Richard shook his head. "I'm going to the office. If you don't have much going on, you should go to Cerubleu earlier as well."

"You're telling me to go to my office?" Pearl was confused. He seemed perfectly fine the previous day, but now he was distant all of a sudden.

Richard didn't say anything and just pressed his lips together.

Pearl felt an overwhelming discomfort in her heart and insisted, "Tell me what's going on, Richard. Don't keep it from me."

"I'm fine. There's work to be done, so I need to head out," Richard replied, looking sad as he walked away.

Pearl clenched her jaw and followed him to Waldorf Enterprises.

When she arrived, she realized all her things had been cleared out and her desk was taken by the new design director.

Entering the office, she saw Richard working as if everything was normal but appeared highly stressed.

Though their interaction seemed platonic, Richard's silence felt like a dagger in Pearl's heart.

"What are you doing here, Pearl?" Jenny sounded curious. It made Pearl feel like she was an outsider.

Pearl didn't bother looking at her. "I'm here to see Richard. Don't think it's any of your business."

Jenny covered her mouth as she chuckled. "Pearl, if you're planning to have lunch with Richard, forget about it. He promised to have lunch with me."

Pearl couldn't believe her ears. She turned to Richard and calmly, yet firmly asked, "Richard, is she telling the truth?"

Richard didn't say anything, but his silence was an answer.

Jenny confidently grabbed Richard's arm and smirked. "See, there's no need to put yourself in such an embarrassing situation. You're only making things difficult for Richard."
