Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 789

Estrella?

Pearl had a faint recollection of this person, but she couldn't fathom why Hugo was willing to invest so heavily to have her as the ambassador for a relatively small ad campaign.

[Are you interested in her?]

[Are you jealous?] Hugo shot back.

Pearl rolled her eyes and replied with a shrug emoticon.

[Just tell me if you're jealous. I can forget about her.]

Pearl clenched her jaw and smirked. [No need for that because I'm not interested in you.]

[Fine then. What do you think about my suggestion then?]

Pearl pondered the idea of Estrella being the spokesperson. [Don't think that's going to work, because I've already selected my candidates. There are only two spots for influencers.]

[11 million for one endorsement.]

Hugo was too happy to throw money around.

Pearl contemplated the offer and recognized the underlying conflict of interest. She finally responded, [Deal.]

If that was the case, she had to let Celine go then.

"Pearl."

His tone was cold, devoid of any warmth, leaving her wondering why she hadn't blocked his number as well.

"Mister Richard. Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?" Pearl responded politely.

Richard ignored her tone and got straight to the point. "I want to talk to you about your company's celebrity endorsers."

"Does your girlfriend want to get involved too?"

The term "girlfriend" wasn't a good word, and it soured Richard's mood. After a brief pause, he calmly replied, "Winona said she wants to be an ambassador for your company's jewelry too."
