Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 93

"Thank you for that. I hope you not only like me but Waldorf Enterprises too."

That comment helped break the awkwardness between them.

Raymond smiled. "Of course."

After handling the matter with Raymond, Pearl booked the earliest available flight back. She returned to the company to request leave to deal with Cerubleu but unexpectedly ran into Richard.

"Pearl," he greeted her.

"Hi, shouldn't you have reconciled with your first love by now? What are you doing here?" Pearl was annoyed to see him looking like nothing happened and started mocking him.

"It's not what you think." He rushed back just for Hugo to tell him that it wasn't her. Jenny wasn't back yet.

His return was driven not by lingering feelings for Jenny but by a long-standing question that had troubled him for years. He needed Jenny's presence to answer it.

Richard attempted to explain, but Pearl cut him off. "No need to explain. I have no time to talk about your old flame with you." With that, she headed to the HR department to request her leave.

Richard watched her walk away, and an unfamiliar emotion surged within him.

His phone rang, displaying Raymond's name. He answered and heard Raymond's cheerful voice on the other end. "Have you received the agreement?"

Richard frowned. "What agreement?"
