Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 4

The man staring at them was Richard. His friend had called him out for drinks after work. Not long after he took his seat, he saw Pearl walk in with a man.

Richard's gaze was dark, and his friend noticed that. Following his eyes, the friend spotted a woman in a black floral dress with wavy hair cascading over her shoulders. Her face was cold, and the dim lights made her look gorgeous and mysterious.

Justin Newton teased Richard by saying, "Oh wow, Big Mister Richard has finally taken a fancy to someone. Have you fallen for that girl? She is quite pretty. Want me to get her number for you? Wait a second… Is she sitting with Wayne Sharp?"

Richard frowned and asked, "Wayne Sharp?"

Justin nodded. "Yeah, Wayne is the vice president of the mysterious Cerubleu Corporation."

Cerubleu had always been a mysterious company. It was a large and powerful publicly listed company, but very few knew the identity of its chairman. For many years, Wayne had been the face of the company.

"But Rick, you're way better than Wayne. I bet you can win that girl’s heart.”

"You talk too much," Richard commented icily. He then looked back at Pearl with an inquisitive gaze. She had just come to Enswood, so how was she acquainted with Wayne?

"But it's true, Rick. That girl is very pretty, but Wayne is a known playboy. What a pity…"

Richard did not respond. He picked up his wine and sipped it as he watched Wayne leave the bar counter. Soon, many people turned to look at Pearl. One lewd-looking man walked up to her with a glass in hand.

"Hey there, pretty. Wanna be friends and grab a drink together?"

"I have friends."

The man's face stiffened, and he smilingly said, "Come on, let's be friends. I'll pay for your drinks. How about it?"

"No."
