Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 438

Saying it like that, even the director's words seemed somewhat forced.

Pearl understood that the director wanted to protect her employees, so she didn’t make a big deal out of it.

As they were about to leave, Leah walked in sternly and asked, “What are you guys doing here?”

“Perfect timing, Leah. What’s wrong with the radiator in Miss Pearl’s ward?”

Leah explained without a hint of guilt, “The radiator in their room burned out this afternoon, so we had to shut it off. I was just about to get someone to fix it.”

Hearing this, the director’s expression softened a bit. “See, it was all just a misunderstanding.”

Pearl couldn’t find any proof at the moment, so she just nodded and followed Richard back to the ward.

Upon their return, they realized that the room's temperature hadn't improved, despite the hours that had passed. Pearl, who was sensitive to the cold, began to shiver. Richard quickly wrapped her in a blanket.

"Leah is really vengeful, and she's targeting me of all people," Pearl complained with irritation.

“I'll talk to the director again.”

Richard was about to leave when Pearl grabbed his wrist. “It’s okay, it’s not that cold. Besides, going to the director won’t solve anything.”

Pearl had a point.

“Give me a minute, I’ll make a call.” With that, Richard stepped outside.

"I was just about to allocate 15 million dollars to your hospital. From the look of it, it seems unnecessary now," Richard interrupted smoothly. He was skilled in the world of business negotiations and knew how to wield his influence effectively.

The director, who had been hesitant just moments ago, quickly adopted a more flattering tone. "As long as you're happy, feel free to make any changes you want. You're the greatest gift to our hospital. So when do you plan to…"

Richard, however, didn't appreciate the director's directness and interrupted her. "Whenever I feel like it."

In other words, the 15 million dollars would be wired immediately if he was in a good mood, but it could easily be withheld if not.

The director, realizing she needed to tread carefully, gritted her teeth and offered a concession, "Alright, I'll have Leah apologize to you guys. If she still doesn't listen, then I'll fire her!"

Richard glanced at Pearl, as if he was seeking her opinion.
