Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 62

Wayne drove Pearl and Richard to the hospital, paid for the medical expenses, and left Pearl to tend to the somewhat dazed Richard.

While bandaging his wound, the nurse accidentally touched it. It seemed painful, but he didn't even flinch.

When the nurse was done, she excused herself and left.

Looking at how weak Richard looked, Pearl asked, "Are you feeling okay, Richard?"

Richard glanced up. "I've got a question, Pearl."

Pearl paused, sensing what he was about to ask.

"What's your relationship with Wayne?"

Richard couldn't help but wonder why Wayne always appeared promptly whenever Pearl was in trouble. How did he know her exact location? Why did they share a drink? Why did he address her as "Miss Pearl"? Why did he always obey her like a subordinate?

These questions had been bothering him.

Aware of Richard's meticulousness, Pearl knew he would eventually notice this issue, but she hadn't expected him to confront her directly.

"Didn't I tell you he's my friend I got to know abroad? We're quite close." Pearl chose to stick with her previous explanation for now.

Coldly, Richard pressed on, "Tell me. Are you the president of Cerubleu?"

Pearl's heart raced momentarily. Her initial instinct was to deny it, but Richard was too smart. Instead, she feigned a playful smile to dispel his suspicions.

"Oh, my. You've caught me."

Richard suddenly found himself uncertain whether his assumption was correct or not, given her reaction.
