Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1230

Pearl didn't realize the huge trouble the spreading disease would bring. It heavily affected every part of their business and made the whole city come to a standstill.

During their Monday meetings, everyone looked miserable.

"As you all can see, we're in a tough spot. Does anyone have a plan to help us get through this?"

The woman sitting across from Pearl shook her head. "The disease is still spreading, so there's not much we can do."

Everyone agreed with her.

"I've tried so hard to think of something, but I've got nothing."

"Is this going to stop our company from growing?"

"What? We just need to put all activities on hold."

"But then, how will we make money? Are we going to starve?"

"Will the company close down?"

"What is this nonsense? Of course, it won't close down."

After listening to everyone, Pearl cleared her throat and spoke up. "I've got an idea."

"What is it?"

"We've been preparing to run live shows online for a year, and it's starting to pick up. Now that everyone has to stay home, this could be our chance to do more of it before anyone else."

Everyone looked hopeful.

"Yes, that sounds great. Live streaming is a big opportunity, and we should grab as much of it as we can!"

"If that's our plan, we should focus all our efforts online."

"Okay."

Melanie blushed, seemingly embarrassed by the attention, and needed a moment to settle down.

After the meeting, Pearl reorganized the business's focus as suggested and made Melanie the project manager for the physical stores.

The epidemic worsened, and about a month later, Enswood was under lockdown.

Blake Jordan ended up stuck there too.

He bought a house next to Rosalie's, wanting to be closer to her, and they ended up as neighbors by 'chance.'

At first, Rosalie found it awkward and tried to avoid him, but over time, she realized Blake was a bit bold but harmless, so she decided to just ignore him.
