Chapter 699


    The man stroked his chin, deep in thought. "How could | not know you? I’ve listened to every song you''ve released and watched


    every episode of the dramas you''ve acted in. I’m your biggest fan.”


    Biggest fan...


    Pearl’s mouth twitched. For some reason, she had a feeling that this man was a bit strange.


    "Sadly, there was news about your death not long ago. | actually believed it and was upset for a while."


    Pearl’s expression darkened. “You thought | was dead.”


    The manughed. “You''re even more interesting in person. Looks like | chose the right idol to support."


    Pearl didn''t want to spend any more time with him. Finally, the elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor.


    "You were so busy chatting with me that you forgot to press the elevator button."C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    As the elevator went up, the man looked confused. “Are you going to see the president?”


    “Well, this has nothing to do with you. Goodbye.” Pearl rushed out of the elevator.


    Watching her go, the man slowly smiled.


    Pearl arrived at the president’s office, but Richard wasn’t there.


    His office was the same as before, but the photo of the two of them on his desk was gone.


    Pearl sat down on a nearby couch. Knowing his routine, Richard would likely return from lunch in about ten minutes.


    Sure enough, Richard came in at half-past twelve, apanied by a woman holding his arm. True to her name, Winona had a


    gentle appearance.


    Seeing Pearl, Winona’s expression showed a hint of confusion. “Why are you here?”


    Pearl nodded politely, trying to keep herposure. "I''m here to discuss something with Mister Richard."


    Mister Richard... It sounded distant and formal.


    But under these circumstances, Pearl had to use it, or Richard might have her thrown out.


    Richard remained indifferent and said, "| already told you, | won''t do you any favors."


    Winona forced a smile, observing Richard''s cold attitude and suppressing her worry for now. "It''s good to see you''re still alive,


    Pearl.”

    "Thanks for your concern, Miss Jesselton. But | really need to talk to Mister Richard today."


    Winona smiled and took Pearl''s hand, whispering, "If there''s anything you need, you can just tell me, Pearl."

    "It''s fine. | don’t want to see her at all." Richard''s eyes were sharp, his expression cold and distant.
