Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Along the way, Pearl stared out the window. There was a vague charm about her as the breeze blew u

p her hair.

Richard asked casually, “How’s your relationship with Sean?”

Pearl turned around and blinked at him. “There’s nothing going on between us.”

But that day.

“Richard, listening to only one side of the story doesn’t

seem like something you’d do. You’re smart.” Enjoying the breeze, Pearl closed her eyes.

Richard was stunned, then he smiled.

“You look happy. Richard, you care so much about my relationship with others. Are you in love with me

?” She teased him. curiously when she caught his smile.

Richard immediately put on a solemn expression. “You talk so much.”

Pearl burst into laughter. “Richard, you’re blushing. How cute!”

“Can you read minds? Why do you think I can’t accept it?” Pearl scoffed. “Abby, your time and effort is

“Rick, it’s noon. Let’s have lunch together.”

Pearl stood at the door. She was about to turn and leave but Richard stopped her. “Come in, Pearl.”

Pearl pursed her l*ps. Her gaze was intense. “Am I disturbing you guys?”

Richard withdrew his hand from Abby’s grasp and took his seat. “Come. Let’s discuss this proposal ”
