Chapter 29


    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 rtionship 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 rtionship 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 intoughter. “Richard, you’re blushing. How cute!”


    He floored the gas and rushed to thepany at the fastest speed


    to prevent her from saying anything more that he could not

    Abby paled. “Pearl, why did you say that about me? I’m just afraid that you’ll be dissatisfied. After all, I


    became the director right away while you are just an employee. I’m sure it’s hard for you to ept.”


    What if Pearl was a top student? Richard cared about Abby. Abby’s position was superior to Pearl’s.

    “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.”
