Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 7

When Pearl and Richard got home, they were greeted by a lively scene in the living room. The Waldorfs, including Susan, were seated together. There was also a woman who was about Pearl's age sitting on the sofa. She wore a suit dress and looked like a wealthy young lady.

"You’re home, Rick. Come, sit. Abby just got back from abroad. She came right after getting off the plane."

The woman stood up and greeted Richard, but she looked evidently disappointed when she received only a nonchalant reply. She then looked at Pearl and smiled broadly. "Pearl, right? I'm Abby Flores, and I grew up with Rick and his brothers. We'll be friends from now on and can hang out if you get bored."

Abby had learned from the conversation earlier that Pearl was very pretty, but she was not expecting her to be this beautiful. Pearl's makeup-free face was flawless, eliciting jealousy from many women.

Pearl, having long discerned Abby's thought, answered half-heartedly, "Sure."

At this time, Dustan got home too. The Floreses and the Waldorfs had been family friends for decades, so he treated Abby warmly. Pearl went off to the side to wait for dinner as everyone chatted away cheerfully.

Susan piped up, "By the way, Abby, I bought some things for you since I knew you were coming home. Hang on. I’ll go get them." She went upstairs, but when she came back down, she asked Dustan unhappily, "Where's the jewelry I recently bought that I placed in the drawer?"

"How would I know?" Dustan asked back.

Susan looked at her five sons. "Did you guys take it?"

They shook their heads.

"That's strange. Where did they go?"
