Chapter 53


    A few dayster, Hanzel went to thepany.


    He leaned against the door of Richard’s office, smiling. “I’ve met many female celebrities recently. Non


    e of them were a good fit or wanted to do the ad. Rick, I really don’t have anyone else in mind.”


    Richard responded coldly, “It’s not like we must shoot this ad.”


    His statement made Hanzel frown. “You can’t do that, Rick. You promised. Don’t go back on your


    word.”


    “I’ll still pay you, but you don’t need to do the ad.”


    Meanwhile, Pearl knocked on the door, wanting to rify some terms. She overheard their conversatio


    n, and it left her with mixed feelings.


    Spotting her, Hanzel said, “Pearl!” He immediately went to her and grinned. “I really can’t find anyone f


    or the ad. Remember you said you’d do it if I couldn’t find anyone?”


    Pearl’s l*ps twitched as she nced at Richard, who seemed upset. She found herself lost for words.


    “Don’t worry about Rick. He already agreed.”


    However, Richard coldly refuted Hanzel. “I never said that.”


    Pearl replied, “Why don’t we give it a try?”


    She understood that Waldorf Enterprises needed the endorsement of a celebrity to establish a presenc


    e in the jewelry industry and gain an initial advantage in promoting their jewelry products.


    So, she wasn’t willing to abandon the idea too quickly. She gave Richard a tentative look and continued


    when he stayedposed, “Ultimately, it’s for the good of Waldorf Enterprises. I believe this n will


    work.”


    After a long silence, Richard murmured, “Fine.”


    Finally, with Richard’s approval, Hanzel and Pearl could work together on the ad.


    Hanzel postponed filming


    the uing drama to focus on the ad. But the set was at arge outdoor field instead of Waldorf Ente


    rprises.


    Richard went there to oversee the shoot, afraid that something might go wrong


    During the


    shoot, Hanzel and Pearl acted intimately with each other, and they didn’t notice Richard’s livid face


    nearby.

    After the first scene, Pearl went for a water break and heard Richard’s cold mockery. “You’re pretty goo


    d.”


    Shocked, Pearl turned around and saw Richard, who was fuming with unspeakable emotions.


    “Why are you here?”


    Richard cleared his throat. “I’m the boss. It’s only natural to keep an eye on our projects.”


    Pearl nodded when Hanzel walked over to them. Smiling, she handed him a bottle of water. “Here, drink


    Hanzel took a sip and smiled at Richard. “I didn’t expect you toe and check out such a boring thing


    Richard shot him a cold re. “I’m not allowed toe?”


    His question made Hanzelugh. “You never came to my shoots before, even when I invited you. But yo


    After that, he squinted and asked curiously, “Are you here because of Pearl? Oh, Rick! I never thought


    Staring at Hanzel, Richard lowered his voice. “What are you talking about, Hanzel?”


    But Hanzel just smiled and shook his head. “I took a fancy to Pea first. Don’t think of taking her from me


    His words made Richard feel even worse.
