Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 698

The situation in the office was getting more urgent each day. Pearl couldn't afford any delays, so she took out her phone and dialed that familiar number.

After a couple of rings, someone answered.

"Hello. How can I help you?" The voice from the other end sounded cold and distant.

"I have something I'd like to trouble you with—" Pearl began, but before she could finish her words, a colder voice interrupted, "Nope."

She knew this would be the answer, but it still hurt her.

"But I—"

"Rick, guess what delicious food I brought for your lunch today? It's your favorite roast pork. Give it a try and see if it suits your taste." A woman's voice from the other end cut in.

Pearl arrived at the front desk of Waldorf Enterprises and asked politely, "I'd like to see your president."

Pearl wore huge sunglasses today. If one didn't know her well, they wouldn't recognize her immediately.

The moment he turned to look, Pearl distinctly noticed the stunning allure in his eyes. However, she showed no reaction. The man in front of her was good-looking, but she had been surrounded by all kinds of attractive men—Richard, Damian, Blake… She could randomly pick any of them without losing out.

The man smiled at her and said, "You look familiar, sister."

Pearl frowned, a trace of displeasure crossing her face. Isn't it weird to call her 'sister' right off the bat? "Don't call me that. We're not acquainted."

Hearing this voice, the man pretty much confirmed her identity. "Are you okay, Pea?"

Pearl was slightly stunned when she heard him calling her that name. "You know me?
