Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 815

Confused, Silas tilted his head. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Pearl sighed, realizing she needed to spell it out for him. "Celine was wearing a ring with a hidden camera. She might have wanted to record your time together. And yes, I splashed water on her hand to ruin that plan. You didn't catch on to her scheme?"

Enlightened, Silas said, "So, you did it to stop her from recording us?"

"You catch on quick," Pearl remarked with a snort.

"Did she want to make us look like a couple while we're trending?" Silas grimaced, feeling repulsed by the idea that Celine might have wanted to manipulate their image for social media.

He hurriedly wiped his hand with tissue paper, wanting to rid himself of any trace of contact with Celine.

"Be more careful next time. Celine isn't as naive as she appears," Pearl warned, her tone serious.

Silas reluctantly agreed, feeling chastised by the experience. Then, a thought occurred to him. "Will she work for another company instead?"

Pearl's expression darkened. She hadn't considered that possibility. If Celine left, there was a chance she might end up at Hugo's company.

She didn't care if Celine would resign or not. She was merely concerned about Hugo's ulterior motives and might make a move again.

"What's on your mind?" Silas asked.

Silas didn't have to guess that he was talking about Pearl. "And why should I listen to you?" He laughed, finding his behavior strange. "You're her ex, with no current ties to her. Why come and challenge me? Who do you think you are, huh?"

Richard remained composed while fixing his wristwatch. "You're young, and I'm warning you out of respect for Mister Elijah. But know this: Pearl is not someone you can pursue."

Undeterred, Silas stood up to face Richard, who was as tall as him. "Well, I happen to fancy her."

Their confrontation was tense, their eyes locked in a silent battle.

"Then be prepared to face the consequences." Richard maintained his cool demeanor.
