    Pearl’s expression turned icy. “You did a terrible thing by hacking everyone’sputers and falsely

    She nced at an assistant nearby. “Inform the president that there’s someone harming thepany h

    Knowing that the president would be notified of her scheme, Ruby was crestfallen.


    When Richard arrived on the scene, he found Pearl seated calmly, watching the drama unfold with inte


    rest. Ruby, on the other hand, was on the floor, crying and walling, disying deep remorse.


    Pearl teased Richard, “Mister Richard, your seasoned employee tried to frame me, but I uncovered her


    plot. What do you think should be done with her?”


    Richard responded emotionlessly. “Understood. I’ll fire Ruby ording to thepany’s rules.”


    Ruby, in tears, threw herself at Richard, clutching his leg. “Please don’t fire me, Mister Richard. I’ve bee


    n with thepany for so long, and I don’t want to leave. Please give me another chance.”


    “Release me immediately, or your punishment will be far more severe than just leaving thepany,”


    Richard warned sternly.


    Panicking, Ruby let go, fully aware of Richard’s power.


    The incident concluded with Ruby leaving thepany in disgrace.


    After that, Pearl turned to her colleagues and offered a warm smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll help you


    guys restore yourputers


    now.”


    Her coworkers were amazed. “You’re 50 awesome, Pearl!”


    They already considered Pearl an incredibly capable woman, but now she was also skilled at fixing co


    mputer viruses, leaving them wondering if there was anything she couldn’t do.


    Smiling, Pearl exined, “I’ll create a code in myputer and transfer it to yourputers. You don’t


    have to do anything.”


    “Just where did you learn this skill? It’s so cool!” Pearl’s male colleagues surrounded her


    in amazement. They felt that Pearl was just like a hacker in movies..


    Smiling shyly, Pearl borated, “It’s nothing special. I picked up some knowledge from a foreigner whe


    n I was abroad. It’s just basic stuff.”


    Richard, watching the attention Pearl was receiving, felt a pang of annoyance.


    “Aren’t you going back to work? If you don’t return to your desks now, I’ll dock a month’s sry from ea


    ch of you,” he dered coldly, his mellow voice carrying amanding tone.


    His threatpelled the men to timidly return to their workstations.


    However, Pearl yfully teased him with a sly grin. “Are you jealous?”


    “Get back to work.”


    “Don’t be so stem. I know men rarely say what they mean.”


    Richard shot her an indifferent look, a hint of emotion flickering in his eyes. “You’re actually a hacker.”


    Others might think she had only acquired some basic skills, but Richard saw something more. Only a to

    “You’re impressive.”


    “Well, I’m sure there are many more fupressive people out there,” Pearl gracefully returned to her seat.


    In the evening, as Pearl stepped out of thepany, someone blocked her path as she attempted to ha


    It was Hanzel, whom she hadn’t seen in two days due to his filmingmitments.


    Hanzel shed her a bright smile. “Get in the car, Pearl, I’m taking you somewhere,”


    Pearl shook her head. “No, I’ve got something to doter.”


    “Come on, Pearl. Ilmow a ce with a beautiful night view. I’m sure you’ll like it!” he urged.
