Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 65

Touching her chin thoughtfully, Pearl asked, "Are you trying to win me over, Mister Brandon?"

Laughing, Brandon commented, "Well, I do admire you very much."

He then took out his business card and slowly pushed it to her table.

"Your abilities charm me, Miss Pearl. Have you ever considered a position higher than director, perhaps the vice president role?"

With that, Brandon left, leaving Pearl to her thoughts.

The vice president? It looked like the ambitious Brandon had set his sights on the position of president.

Later that night, upon returning home, Pearl found everyone else asleep except for Richard, who sat alone in the living room reading documents.

After stretching a bit, Pearl sat down beside him and asked, "How's your hand?"

Pausing briefly, Richard replied calmly, "It's much better now."

However, Pearl was skeptical and attempted to check his hand, but he dodged her.

"You won't die if you let me take a look," she whispered.

But Richard changed the topic. "What did Brandon say to you earlier?"

Pearl leaned against the sofa and smiled. "Why do you think he came to me?"

"To win you over."

Pursing her lips, Pearl commented, "How boring!"

Richard ignored her response and asked gloomily, "What are you going to do then?"

"What am I going to do?" Pearl looked into his eyes with interest. "I'm going to say yes, of course, since he promised to make me vice president. Only fools would turn down such a great offer."

"Pearl."

Suddenly, Richard stopped her.

Pausing, Pearl turned around and teased, "What's the matter?"

"You're really special."

She seemed to be an expert in everything, leaving others bewildered. One could never predict the surprises she would unveil next.

In short, Richard found her very unique.

Pearl replied languidly, "I'll assume you've fallen in love with me, Richard."

Her words immediately brought a somber expression to his face. "Don't jump to conclusions."
