Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 631

Richard contemplated the situation but didn't show his discontent. "I trust your president will honor his word," he responded calmly.

The man smiled and extended his oily hand. "Don't worry, I would never lie to you. My name is Nathaniel West, but you can call me Naty."

'Naty…' The assistant rolled his eyes inwardly, finding Nathaniel's chosen nickname rather juvenile. The latter appeared to be around twenty years older than Richard, making the nickname seem out of place.

Maintaining his composure, Richard said, "Mister Nathaniel, what are your president's intentions?"

"He instructed me to entertain you, so I've allocated all my time to spend with you," Nathaniel explained, his hand still extended. When it became apparent that Richard had no intention of shaking it, he withdrew it gracefully. "It seems you don't travel abroad frequently. There are many enjoyable activities here, and I'd be happy to show you around."

The assistant's voice betrayed his irritation. "Our president's time is valuable. We don't have time to go around with you."

Nathaniel maintained his friendly smile. "I don't believe an assistant holds the authority to challenge me during a business meeting." Even though he didn't sound angry, the words he chose indicated that—he was just pretending.

Richard couldn't figure out Sapphire Group's true motives. Suppressing his displeasure, he responded curtly, "If that's your president's directive, I will comply."

"You're quite decisive," Nathaniel commented, his smile concealing any hint of irritation. "Rest assured, you'll meet our president in three days."

Richard nodded, looking tired. His assistant noticed his exhaustion.

"Sir, if you're tired, you should return to the hotel and rest."

"Sir, please reconsider. Look at these people. Perhaps we should stop working with them and return home."

The assistant was youthful and impatient, but Richard had no intention of backing down. If he had harbored any suspicions before, he was now certain that the president of Sapphire Group just wanted to make a joke out of him and provoke his anger. Later, they would accuse him of pettiness if he left prematurely, making him fall into their trap.

"I'll go."

The assistant was anxious. "Sir!"

"You're indeed not like other men."
