Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 95

Stephen was suddenly interested. "Your grandfather? What's his name?"

"Fredrick Jameson."

Stephen was shocked to hear his name, then his eyes slowly teared up.

"You're Freddie's granddaughter. Your grandfather and I were best friends! But…" He held Pearl's hand and continued, "You're the president of Cerubleu. You're so young yet already so successful. I'm sure Freddie would be very proud of you."

"Grandpa Stephen, our partnership…" Pearl asked, but before she could finish, Stephen cut her off. "We'll be working with Cerubleu on this project and any other future projects!"

The assistant's eyes went wide when he heard that. "But, Mister Stephen… We need to take into account the partner's capabilities for certain projects!"

The old man was annoyed. "Are you doubting Pearl's capabilities here? Are you questioning my judgment?"

The assistant recoiled and fell silent.

Pearl smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Grandpa Stephen."

"Visit me from time to time. You look so much like your grandfather…"

Stephen engaged Pearl in conversation on various topics until the sky darkened, before finally allowing her to leave.

Pearl thought this was going to take a while to resolve, but all she had to do was show up. With Cerubleu now in a secure position, she was feeling a lot better.

She would be able to return to Waldorf Enterprises sooner than expected, but what Richard had said to her made her hesitate.

He had likely reconciled with his old flame and was enjoying his time with her now. If she went back now, it would ruin things for them.

Pearl was about to hang up when she heard Richard's voice, but Mobius sounded so sad that she couldn't bear to turn him down.

"Alright, I'll be back tomorrow morning."

Mobius brightened up. "Alright. Thanks, Pea!"

Pearl said goodbye and ended the call.

As promised, she returned to Waldorf Residence the following morning. Mobius was still asleep, and only Richard was in the dining area, having breakfast.

"Glad you know the way back?" Richard slowly took a bite of his food and sounded sarcastic.

Pearl's heart, which had been calm for a few days, started raging again.
