Chapter 445


    “You don’t feel sorry at all? She used to be your beloved girlfriend.” Pearl thought about Richard’s past


    and felt upset.


    “I think I should exin a few things to you,” Richard said, looking serious.


    Puzzled by his sudden seriousness, she asked, “What’s going on? If it’s about Jenny, I was just kidding


    earlier. I didn’t-”


    “First, when I was with Jenny, it wasn’t a passionate love story like Hugo described. She wanted to


    chase her dreams, and we just had different life goals, so we broke up. Second, I stopped caring about


    her a long time ago after she left. I didn’t really have strong feelings for her, so my obsession with work


    afterward had nothing to do with her.


    “Third, I did have some lingering thoughts about her because I wanted to understand why she abruptly


    ended our rtionship to pursue her dreams. Later, I found out she had a new boyfriend abroad, and


    he’s a director who helped her be famous.”


    Pearl heard Richard say these words for the first time and was left stunned.


    Afterward, Richard looked into Pearl’s eyes and asked, “Do you have any more questions?”


    “Does that mean…. you got cheated on?” Pearl’s thinlding was quite unique, and even Richard was


    surprised.


    He gritted his teeth. “Does that even matter?”


    Pearl noticed a change in Richard’s tone and couldn’t help butugh. “You know, the famous CEO,


    Mister Richard, got cheated on. That’s some juicy gossip.”


    Richard’s expression instantly soured.


    “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore.” Pearl looked at Richard’s serious expression and smiled, shaking


    her head. “By the way, I talked to Este today, and she mentioned that her production hasn’t been


    filming for a few days. Mainly because they couldn’t find a suitable recement after the poisoning


    incident. They’ve been struggling to find the right person.”


    “Don’t you have any actresses at yourpany? You could have a few of them audition.” If he


    remembered correctly, it was just a supporting role, not that important..

    Pearl looked at him and sighed. “It’s just unfortunate. All the actresses fit for the role are booked now,


    and I can’t find the right one.”


    Richard thought for a moment and then focused on Pearl. “Why don’t you step in?”


    “Me?” Pearl stared at Richard, her smile fading. “I don’t think I’m cut out for acting, and honestly, I have


    no passion for it. Besides, I can’t stand the environment there.”


    Yup, she was justzy.


    “Not cut out for acting? Pearl, do you remember how popr that scene you did in “The Melody of the


    West’ was? If you’re not suited for acting, I can’t find anyone else in the entertainment industry who is.”


    Pearl scratched her head. “That was just topete with Jenny. In fact, I can’t act.”


    “We’ll see. I believe you’re a great fit. Plus, yourst scene left a strong impression on so many people.


    It could also give the production a nice poprity boost.”


    True to his business acumen, every word he spoke was tied to profit.


    Pearl had no choice. “Fine, I’ll do it.”
