Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 728

At Richard's office, Winona gazed at Richard, trying to appear alluring as she spoke in a coquettish voice, "Rick, it's the weekend tomorrow. Can you go shopping with me? It won't take long." Although her request seemed pitiful, that was the tactic she chose.

"I don't have time. I have a meeting tomorrow."

Winona suddenly felt brave. "Rick, if the meeting isn't important, could you postpone it and go on a date with me?" She was used to being spoiled and having her wishes indulged, but she momentarily forgot she was dealing with Richard.

"No, Winona," Richard responded firmly. He felt a touch of discomfort, but he didn't let it show. Strangely, thoughts of Pearl unexpectedly crossed his mind.

Pearl wouldn't have made such an unreasonable request. He pondered this quietly, oblivious to the sadness creeping over the woman beside him.

"Rick, I'm talking to you. Why are you zoning out?" Winona asked, her intuition telling her that Pearl was somehow involved.

"Nothing."

Winona asked in a jealous tone, "Who are you thinking about? Pearl?"

Richard's gaze turned icy. "That's enough."

Winona felt dejected. Richard had previously played along and attempted to console her, but when a man grew agitated, it meant her guess was correct.

"Not interested…" Her voice continued coming from her phone.

Winona edited the recording to remove her own voice, making it seem as though she was simply offering gentle reminders to Pearl.

She looked at Richard curiously after the recording ended, excited to see how he would react.

To Winona's disappointment, Richard didn't flinch. He maintained his composure and said, "Alright, I've heard it. Can I return to work now?"

Nonetheless, this was advantageous to Winona. With a coy smile, she approached him, leaning forward slightly to reveal a hint of her cleavage.
