Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 82

Consequently, Richard was enlightened. "Are you talking about this afternoon's incident?"

However, his question earned him a sneer from Pearl. "You're so busy every day, Mister Richard. I have no right to ask about your affairs. You'd better care about your ex-girlfriend, Jenny Sullivan."

At the mention of Jenny's name, Richard emitted a cold aura. "Who told you about her?"

Pearl kept her sneer because of his impatience. "There's nothing I can't find, Richard."

Richard took a deep breath to calm down. "I don't care if someone else told you or you found it on your own. Don't bring her up in front of me again."

However, Pearl looked at him distantly. "I'm not interested in your ex-girlfriend, Richard."

After that, she brushed past him and left the house to hail a cab to Dark Bar. On her way there, she grappled with indescribable emotions.

She could understand Richard's former aloofness, but she was infuriated by his anger directed at her today because of his ex-girlfriend.

Upon arriving at the bar, Wayne got a bottle of wine for Pearl because of the latter's foul mood. "What's bothering you, Miss Pearl? Did some Waldorf drive you mad?"

Pearl raised her glass and gulped the wine down. "I'm fine. Just drink with me tonight because I'm not going home."

"But we've got an important issue now. Cerubleu's local development has surpassed its foreign one due to its collaboration with Waldorf Enterprises. Maybe you should consider relocating the headquarters here and focus on local growth."

However, Pearl's mind was elsewhere. "Sure, do what you think is best." She was still sober even after a few glasses of wine.

Covering her mouth and snickering, Katie asked, "Ordinary? I don't think so. I'm sure you must have some tricks up your sleeve to charm so many men. Plus, you're very talented. I'm enchanted by you as well, not to mention the Waldorfs."

While it sounded like a compliment, Pearl detected a hint of mockery that left her uneasy.

"So, what's your point, Miss Katie? I'm sure you didn't come here to praise me."

Blinking, Katie laughed. "You're quite sharp, Miss Pearl. Let me get straight to the point then."

Pearl replied, "I'm listening."

"I'm sure you're aware of my identity, aren't you? My sister dated Richard for a long time, and they still love each other. I hope you won't interfere in their relationship."
